Today I am feeling rather thankful and I thought I would share that. It helped that today Ben has been a very good good boy; full of smiles and waves and sleep. You know those moments/days/weeks when everything feels like it is aligned and you don't let yourself stress over those upcoming potential road bumps that might be ahead (cause you know something is always lurking).
So, today I am thankful for:
1.the perfect espresso shot that was poured into my iced latte this afternoon.
2.the smile I got from my baby when I came into the room.
3.my husband taking the time to look after the boy so I could go to Aveda and get my eyebrows waxed into shape.
4.the cupcake I just might be eating tomorrow.
5.talking to my older sister on the phone.
6.Ben spontaneously breaking into dance when I played this video from Kickyboots blog.
7.squeezing in a self pedicure in the bathroom during nap time.
8.being able to wear a tank top on our daily walk (see previous blog post!).
9.realizing that today was pay day and I didn't even work (thank you vacation time!).
10.having the spare moment to write this blog and reading all the comments from you readers.
What are you thankful for RIGHT NOW?

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!
