You might have noticed that it has been raining a lot in Vancouver a lot over the last couple of weeks. There are large deep puddles all around and a constant spritzing of wet whenever I go outside.
Instead of being all gloomy about the current weather I decided to embrace the rain and host a fabulous giveaway from Gumdrops, a hip rain gear shop in Vancouver. Click HERE to go check out their website.
Gumdrops is gifting one of my readers with a $25.00 gift card to their shop. All my blog readers are invited to enter to win. To enter just leave a comment on this blog post. One comment per person. Contest starts tonight, Monday November 23rd. The winner will be drawn on Friday evening November 27th by a random number generator.
I'm so excited to hear what the winner chooses from their shop. I have my eye on these cute cherry boots and umbrella for a sweet girl.
This little blue duck umbrella would be perfect for my 2 year old nephew. I can already see him having a fun time hiding beneath the duck and walking along in the rain.
Leave a comment to enter. Winner drawn on Friday evening! www.gumdropsonline.com .

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!

On the wet coast one of these umbrellas would be a wonderful day brightner!
November 23, 2009 at 9:41 PMBring on the cute boots and brollies!
November 23, 2009 at 11:02 PMI'm in! I must also note that my daughter's lady bug umbrella is a good alternative for those days when I forget my grown up umbrella en route to an important meeting at work. Ice breaker. Really.
November 23, 2009 at 11:46 PMandrea, living in the sunshine state we don't have much need for too much raingear, but those pictures you posted are so tempting, i also love the one of my beautiful grandson,he looks so pensive in that picture in the tub, he's saying "i wish mum were here",(notice the long eyelashes he inherited from his dad). LOve, Fla. MOM
November 24, 2009 at 4:53 AMYou know me and cherries! My absolute favorite!! I wonder if that umbrella comes is "big girl" sizes. So excited for another giveaway!
November 24, 2009 at 6:20 AMI just love raingear. It is a must in beautiful B.C.! I know many times I have come in to the city and have bought an umbrella just to enjoy the day downtown. My daughter had the cutest raincoat with apples on it as a toddler and I'm sad she's outgrown it! Time for some new stuff. Andrea, I'm very impressed by your ability to sip a cappucino while pushing a stroller, that's something I was never able to do!
November 24, 2009 at 6:52 AMAllison would love the rainboots for sure. We do get rain here sometimes in Kamloops - enough to warrant her mommy getting some loot for her. Hopefully you guys get some nice sun soon. I know the rain can get a bit much at times.

These are way too cute! A certain way to cheer up a grey day.
November 24, 2009 at 11:18 AMOhhh... I do think Jayda would love those boots!
November 24, 2009 at 11:32 AMOh man, I would LOVE a new pair of boots! Since moving from Vancouver, I haven't yet bought myself a good pair of rainboots, and my runners just don't cut it!
November 24, 2009 at 1:41 PMLove the store! Our umbrellas are usually black and boring. Would love a new one to cheer up a rainy day!
November 24, 2009 at 2:18 PMI am really in need of a nice raincoat this winter for preschool pickups! It is a great store!
November 24, 2009 at 2:32 PMNow the very blustery night turned into a very rainy night. And Pooh kept his lonely vigil, hour after hour, after hour - until at last, Pooh fell fast asleep - and began to dream. ...Dream of pretty umbrellas and boots to keep him dry. Splish Splosh My Mary Poppins umbrella was stolen from outside my door so I'm in desperate need:)Contest couldn't be better timed.
November 24, 2009 at 2:49 PMI'm always so tempted by that store, and everything you posted pictures of is so cute!
November 24, 2009 at 3:42 PMI loved taking my kids out in the rain when they were little .....putting on the rain gear so they could jump in the puddles...and SPLASH mom was all the fun and the memories!....Love it and still do it! ...come back for the hot chocolate and cookies- dont sweat the small stuff!....it's our beautiful Vancouver Rain!-Embrace and Enjoy!-Smile!K
November 24, 2009 at 5:27 PMI love that you're having a giveaway. What a good way to make the rain a cheerier thing. I'm sure Ada would love the boots! Cheers to you, Andrea.
November 24, 2009 at 5:31 PMThose are so cute! I've been on the hunt for the perfect umbrella for my little girl. One of her favorite books right now is about a little girl who wants only umbrellas for her birthday...Bethany thinks it's amazing!
November 24, 2009 at 9:05 PMThanks for the link, and the contest!
Sophie still wears the awesome Gumdrops rainjacket you gave her when she was three...people always comment on it and ask where we got it. Would love to win:)

November 24, 2009 at 10:16 PMVictoria is wonderfully wet these days as well. We could use some extra rain gear!!!
November 24, 2009 at 11:02 PMLove the blue duck umbrella! Rainy day walks are a lot of fun once you give yourself over to getting soaked!

November 26, 2009 at 5:44 PMDefinitely would love to trade in my black umbrella for one of these West Coast brighteners, or outfit any of 4 little grandsons with fun umbrellas for when they come to visit Grampa and Gramma!
