I just got back from a whirlwind trip to New York City for the BlogHer ’12 Conference. Thousands of photos to sort through and much sleep to catch up on {someone pass the coffee, please}.
For now, a couple photos of the ever-fabulous NYC at night! Breathtaking and full of life. It was my first visit to the big apple and hopefully not the last!

As you know, I was one of 14 Canadian women invited to Toronto to take part in a new Dove music video earlier this week. It’s been a couple of days now since filming Singing In The Rain, and I still have a hard time soaking it all in. Often times throughout the day…
Since I was young, I had always admired Anne Geddes for her beautiful award winning photography. So, it has been a marvelous experience for me to have had the pleasure of teaming with the company many times over the past year, for various Anne Geddes reviews. The result is that my admiration grew, as I…
This past week we have really taken advantage of the beautiful weather here in Central Alberta. I have been really enjoy being outside and doing so many outdoor activities with the kids {usual parenting chaos included}. Swimming, the Zoo, nature walks, bike rides – this is why I love summer so much! So, if I’m…
Earlier this month the kids and I stayed at one of the Pine Lake Leisure Club Cabins, by Parkbridge. Just before our stay, my husband was called to work, so I invited a friend and her two kids to stay with us for the weekend. A multi-family summer trip to the lake? Sounds fun, right?…

We just finished our Family Day weekend here in Alberta. It kicked off with some fantastic weather, which we certainly took some advantage of. The rest of the weekend was a bit colder, so we spend most of it indoors: play, shop, eat, sleep, play, shop, eat, sleep. Repeat. Pretty relaxing! We also went…
Gorgeous photos Tammi! It was great chatting with you during Sparklecorn. Hope you had a pleasant trip home. 🙂
Hi Nadia!
Nice to see you again as well!
🙂
How exciting! I didn’t go this year, but I’m hoping for next! Glad you went and enjoyed it!
Wonderful photos! I’m so jealous! I would have loved to go to BlogHer this year and I’m only a 20 minute train ride from NYC. Hopefully next year though!
So close Tricia, do you go into the city often?
Before I had my daughter, yes. So much fun and so much to do! I miss going into the city, I’ll have to plan a trip soon =)
Some great shots of the big apple! I’ve never been there. I always wanted to go.
It was on my ‘must see list’, so happy to have finally gone.
What an incredible city, you must make it there someday!
I Love NY 🙂 So magical! I’ve only been to Time Square once but it was a trip of a lifetime. Have an awesome week.
Agreed Nicole.
I was also IN a Flash Mob in Times Square while there. It was amazing! Will be posting about it soon!
Great shots – you make Time Square look so clean and sharp!!
Ha, thats what my husband said, ‘looks so clean there!’
Ummm, no.
But beautiful nonetheless!
🙂
Great photos! I have never been to New York and never had any desire to go until recently. Maybe one day I will get there 🙂
I think you’d like it Shanna, so much to see and do!
NYC is a great place to visit!

Very nice photos! I hope to see NY myself in person some day, but especially at night. I love big city night life!
Me too Theresa, it was my fave time of day. Yet, it didn’t cool off much – man, is it hot and muggy there! {says the Western Canadian gal} lol
I can’t believe we didn’t meet! It was so crowded, though. Yikes.
That’s too bad Amy, but I agree – wayyyy too many people there. With 5,000 bloggers and full agendas, there’s many I didn’t see. 🙁
So pretty! I didn’t get any up the ways photos when we went there. I will put that on my to do list if we ever go back.
I was at BlogHer as well and have almost the same first picture 🙂 Too bad we didn’t get to chat.
That’s too bad! It was overcrowded though, they really needed a bigger and better space to host that many bloggers.
Bet you had a great time! I’ve never been to NYC either and must go one of these days 🙂
Happy WW!

GREAT pics Tammi! It’s a crazy busy place isn’t it?
For sure!! Very high energy!
What was times square like to be there in person?
Much honking, music, talking – very loud in general. There’s something to see at every turn and so much buzz and energy in the air.
I thought it would be stressful yet if you aren’t rushing to get to a place like the millions around you, it’s oddly peaceful. I found that is was actually relaxing to watch the rush, while I didn’t have to. Make sense?
Great shots! The hustle and bustle and all the lights, I love the city at night! Looks like you had a great trip.
It was fantastic Carol, hope I am able to visit again one day. No conference, just sightseeing and wandering around more. So much to see!
Lovely pictures of NEw York. I have yet to visit that city.
Absolutely beautiful! I didn’t realize you were going to be there! Sigh…so many bloggers I missed!
I missed you too Mimi?! Awe, that’s a shame!!
I’ve said it before, but there was way too many people there and way too spread out. So many missed opportunities when it’s that huge and hectic!
Love these photos. Gorgeous!!
You took a pic from Sweet Suite! They had an AWESOME roof top view of Times Square didn’t they!
That was an amazing view!! I could have stayed up there eating Pinkberry for a long time! lol
wow! What an adventure 🙂
I can’t believe we didn’t see each other!!! I am so bummed! Will you be in Toronto in October??? Great pictures!
The plan was to be In TO in Oct with Fisher-Price, yet those plans have changed, so I won’t be there. Sorry to miss it this year! 🙁
I absolutely LOVE New York and am determined to go back there again one day. Love your photos.
great shots! the pictures look so alive 1
Thanks Natalie!
beautiful shots! I hope to visit NYC one day too!

Great photos!!! Next year, I am going 🙂
I hope to as well, maybe we can see one another!!
oh your City photos are amazing!!! I can’t wait to be able to just stroll the CITY :]
Amazing–I’ve lived in NYC all my life and it still looks amazing!
Nice! I love that it’s full of action, yet you have the little parks and areas that are so peaceful and calm. Quite the place!
Wow Tammi, such gorgeous photos!! Glad you had a great time 🙂
Thanks Brandi!
You just can’t beat NYC at night. Can’t wait to hear what you thought of BlogHer. I really need to rearrange my travel schedule and get out there next year.
Gorgeous photo’s!! Do you have more for those of us who will never get there:)
I have a few more, debating on posts. Maybe I’ll just do a photo montage instead.
I wish we could have met! Maybe next year. Glad you had a nice time.
That would have been nice Lori! So many people there, I didn’t see many whom I had set out to!
I agree. I hope I get to return many times over. Loved it!
looks like a fun trip! thanks for hosting, happy ww 😉
I LOVE NYC at night! Great shots!
Thanks Sarah!
Love your photos. One day I will make it there!
awesome photos! I want to go to NYC so bad … some day!!

These photos of yours show really well what a vibrant city NY really is. All around the clock.
Times Square is amazing at night!
Have a great WW.
POSH
WOW!! Awesome photos! I love New York, and can’t wait until I have a chance to go back, as I haven’t been there in years (the towers were still there when I last went…) It looks like you had a wonderful time!!
Those pictures make me long to go back to New York!
It’s a fabulous and wonderful city isn’t it? The first time I went back in 2010, everyone kept asking me, “Is this your first time to New York?” Apparently everyone KNOWS how incredible it is ^.^
That first shot is stunning! The light and colors are beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
I’d love to visit New York someday. Looks like a very busy place.
Great Photos! Would love to visit New York at some point!
