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!

What a lovely photo! Although I'm sure that Andrea was ready for bed when it was taken. Enjoy the weekend before you head back to work Andrea
October 24, 2009 at 9:44 AMGreat photo! Even after a night shift you still look gorgeous.
October 24, 2009 at 2:58 PMYou are right. I was ready for bed but needed a little cuddle with Ben first. He was very excited to see me walk through the door in the AM. I wonder where he thinks I go?
October 24, 2009 at 3:27 PMThanks Jenny! Of course, taken by my husband. You can't escape his camera in this house...even if you are falling over after a busy night shift.
October 24, 2009 at 3:27 PMAwe! Did your hubby post this? So sweet *swoon*!
October 24, 2009 at 3:53 PMThat is so great. Wonderful photo to keep and cherish forever.
October 24, 2009 at 4:11 PMGorgeous, just what you need after a long night.
October 24, 2009 at 7:48 PMWOW and WOW and WOW. So amazing. I love black and white and this is perfect. How do you look so fresh after working all night? Are you in your nightgown? Ben is super cute. Just love it.
October 24, 2009 at 7:59 PMI agree with what everyone else has to say, this is such a beautiful shot and captured so nicely. I like the contrast of black and white so that you can focus in on the emotion behind the picture. You look like you are in love with your boy and he looks content to have mama back home to cuddle with. Pictures like these will be special keepsakes as your boy grows up.
October 24, 2009 at 8:05 PMI am so jealous that you are your husband's muse! I always dreamed of being one for my man but all he takes photos of is buildings or cars. Bummer. :)
October 24, 2009 at 8:28 PMThis photo is stunning. You look like the serene Madonna.
looking amazing as usual.....ben is just so adorable!!!
October 24, 2009 at 10:09 PMandrea , ben sure did inherit his daddies eyelashes,alex was born with these long dark eyelashes, jealous, his sisters and i, LOve, MOM

I agree with Amanda Brown that you are so lucky to be your husbands muse. That is so wonderful and the photos you post are brilliant!!!! Keep the photos coming they are more artsy than your candid family photos. Can't wait to see what will come next.
