If I was to be honest with myself then it would be to true that there are many moments where I am not truly grateful for what I have. It is not intentional or malicious but just a result of getting caught up in the moment. Feeling stressed and stretched with being a working mother can do that to you or just being a person can do this to you. Probably all of us have been in the same spot at some time or another.
Five things that are making me feel thankful, content, grateful right now:
1.Having a lunch date with old friends and their children,albeit chaotic and loud but totally worth it.
2.Figuring out how to drive in and out of the 'secure Olympic zone' downtown .
3.A husband who woke up with the boy this morning and let me sleep in for an extra little bit.
4.The major belly laughs from Ben when I dance to Beyonce's 'Single Ladies'.
5.A good hair day.
So, join me and take this moment to feel grateful for what you have. What are you grateful for?

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!

Having the night off and being able to just relax and unwind. I am also grateful for all the bad tv that I recorded.
