Wondering where I have been? Maybe, maybe not but for those daily blog checkers we have been hanging out Hawaiian style and it is fantastic. We left Ben to have his own vacation at my parents house and went to Maui for a little rejuvenation before I head back to work full time. It turns out that even when you don't bring your baby he still has been the focus of many conversations, dreams and thoughts. I guess you can take a baby free vacation but not 100% which is fine with me. 
We took a day trip to Lahaina, an old whaling town and birth place of surfing, we checked out the old jail where the drunken sailors were put. I am doing my best exasperated jailed face (can't you tell?).
Of course every vacation the photos are 99% of me, which just happens when your husband is the photographer. We are going to luau tonight for some delicious Hawaiian cuisine and more. We plan to enjoy the rest of our days here before we head back to reality.
Looking for something?
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!
