I would like this part of my life to be about trying to be my best self. Sometimes on the path of trying to learn how to be my best self I find other inspiring women who show qualities that I adore. Personal attributes that I admire and make me think about my own way of life.
Here is my 2010 blog roll of women that I find to be inspirational and amazing. They have all had something big to live through and have allowed themselves to be truthful.
Nie Nie is a beautiful mother who survived a horrific plane crash with her husband. She suffered extensive burns and much suffering but continues to see the beauty in life and in her children.
Gorilla Buns lost her infant son while he was napping and she blogs about her babe and life before and after.
Nugget News is an uplifting look at a mama to four 1 year olds. She experiences all those normal daily hassles that parents have but has them multiplied by four.
The Macs have had a blog for awhile and wrote about the painful loss of their baby daughter from cancer last year. The mom turned her grief into something amazing with her handmade baby items and special playground and she just gave birth to a second child.
Go and check them out and be prepared to be amazed at their life experiences and their continual courage.

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!
