Today was a fantastic day for me! It started off with booking the day off of work and I couldn't be more thrilled with that decision; especially as I was feeling bogged down and stressed only a few days ago. I decided to take full advantage of Ben's afternoon nap, and also of my husbands work from home status, by booking a pedicure for myself just around the block.
This is one of the reasons that I love city living so much! There are a ridiculous amount of pedicure places within a couple of minutes of walking out of my front door. I really quite enjoyed sitting by myself for a full hour and love the colour that I picked out. I sipped a latte and did a little people watching and was overjoyed when I got a text from my husband saying that the boy was still asleep and to keep on going with my outing.
If you remember from this post there are a few things that I like to get down to keep me feeling in order and on top of things. So, besides the pedicure I also went and got my brows done at Bombay Brow Bar here in Yaletown. I've had my brows threaded before but I still tear up with each swift thread! I was in and out within 15 minutes and left with perfectly shaped brows and a cup of chai.

Have a lovely weekend!

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!
