Today was a perfect Saturday in the city for me! My little family made plans to go on a morning walk with our end destination being Caffe Artigiano. This morning the streets were empty and we managed to have a peaceful warm walk from one part of the city to the next.
Caffe Artigiano is one of my favorite places to go for coffee and today we sat outside the cafe with the dog and the boy. I sipped a delicious latte and enjoyed a bit of brunch with my husband. There was a bit of baby wrangling going on, followed with various moments where either Ben or the dog were being a bit naughty.
Ben is getting his independent streak and loves to walk by himself and explore. He still sits in his stroller but persistently urges to get out and stretch his little legs and explore life at toddler height.
I think the thing that made it such a nice day was the beaming sun and blue sky that we walked under. Finally (finally!!) the sun is shining and it feels a lot like summer and I'm hoping for many more weekends like today. Vancouver is truly beautiful when the sun fills the sky and there are no puddles to avoid or umbrellas to stash.
Happy weekend to you!

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!

Sounds delicious! Oh, this brings back memories of our time when we lived in Yaletown. A part of me misses those city strolls! It truly is one of the best places - especially when that sun is shining down!
