I have never been that girl who enters a contest and wins. I know that there are those people who just need to stand near a contest and they win. People like my own Mum who have won some pretty cool prizes over the years. Well, recently I wandered upon a lovely blog from a crafty mama from Vancouver Island who had a give away on her blog. She makes adorable soft handmade animals and I won one! 
Soon we will be having a gorgeous little bear join our family just in time to be Ben's birthday bear! We can't wait for the delivery. Check out her blog by clicking here Go and admire her delightful creations! Thanks for hosting a fabulous giveaway Koo and Poppet!

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!
