I officially declared it to be 'summer holidays' in our home and this excited Ben to no end. Really, it doesn't change much of our usual every day to day routine but nonetheless it is summer holidays. I'm guessing once my babies are in school, summer holidays will have more of a distinction and maybe more meaning.
Right now we are:
*spending more time outside, playing more at nearby water parks, enjoying more ice cream, washing more dirty feet in the bath tub, going to more casual get togethers with friends, savouring more late lunches dining al fresco.
Even if it is just a mind set, I'm okay with that and it still sounds pretty awesome to me. So, let's bring on the summer holidays!
What does summer time mean for you? Do you have any big vacations planned or maybe some lazing on a sandy beach?
Early morning coffee shop dates with my family=summertime love
Endless hours spent on the playground=summertime love
Eating lunch on a Granville Island patio= summertime love

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!
