Jumping in the Panic Room

Oh.  My.  Gosh.  *MINI FREAKOUT!*  Hopefully this isn't borderline weird or something.  I just got super excited for a moment.  Kinda like that dog that pees all over you if you get her too worked up.

I won't pee though.  Maybe.

THE Marshall's, my favorite blog family in the entire universe whom I found (ever so gratefully) from my friend Abby , is my second follower.  Haha.  I feel like such a dumb person, like a scary Justin Bieber fan or something... but you guys don't know how big of a deal this is for me!  I'm sure other new moms or his other followers can relate.  Every day I feel like a broken record...

"BABE! Did you see that video of Tessa blowing bubbles in her MILK?!"
"BABE! Should I do my hair like this?  Cole makes it look effortless!"
"SEE?!  Ryan has a Merlin Steadicam too!"
"We definitely have to take HD videos of our baby when she's born"
"How did she stay so good looking through her pregnancy?  I feel like a whale!"

... etc.

This blog honestly has given me so much inspiration, hope, and honesty into what it's like to become a family and still pursue not only various creative arts but the art of staying yourself (and sane) through the parenthood journey.  Erick and I are currently expecting our first in June, so this blog has been such a holy grail of a find for me because it's unlike anything I've seen.  You listen to Ryan write, or see the bits and pieces he shares of his family and you instantly feel like you've known them forever.  It's kinda crazy.

So to everyone that has missed the opportunity to jump over to see Ryan's blog, Go.  Do it now.  It's life changing.  This guy is doing fantastic things not only through his photography, videos and writing but also with the album Do Fun Stuff and promoting awareness for Smith Magenis Syndrome through supporting PRISMS.  I'm telling you guys, the Marshalls are Crazy. Awesome. People.

Thanks for all of the photo inspiration,
style and hair tips from Cole,
introducing me to Camper shoes,
introducing me to the ClassicInsta app for my iPhone,
and sharing your family's journeys.

(I really could go on and on, so I'll just stop now.)

And if you haven't had enough, go check out the beautiful pictures over on Becka's blog where she actually sat down for dinner with them.

Easter Weekend

Hello! Happy mid-week to you. This is the roll of photos we shot over our Easter weekend , and oh what a wonderful weekend it was. It was so nice to have family here to visit - even if the weather was cooler than we anticipated! We visited the redwoods in Felton, ate vegetarian burritos, went to the epic shoreside in Montara, and the brewing company in Half Moon Bay. Our hearts are full and our home is feeling quite empty now ;) As a side note, I've found a renewed love with film. This is a post for another time, but it bears mentioning here! There has been much on my mind re: photography, and hopefully this will be the space I can share that. For the curious, all the above were shot on a Nikon FM10 with Fuji Superia 400 speed film.

what sofia eats, v.1

      grape tomatoes, avocado, grilled veggie burger and annie's cheddar bunnies             green seedless grapes with pancakes             cheddar potato pierogis, tangerine slices, garlic pearled couscous with corn           Diapers & Skinny Jeans will be slowly introducing more and more new, original content over the next coming weeks, and I'm excited to announce I'm bringing back the "What Sofia Eats" portion of the blog to you.  (Especially since it doesn't consist of rice cereal and mashed bananas anymore!)  Since I started a bit late, I only have three meals to show you this week-- but, I'm hoping to catch every meal for the next seven days.  I know I've personally struggled at times with finding inspiration for kiddo meals, so I figure if anyone else out there has run into a similar problem, hopefully these meals can give y...

mum + bub skincare review + giveaway!

Happy Wednesday to all of you!  It's my favorite day of the week. Today, I spent a lazy day at home with the girls and one thing we all enjoy doing when we get a little stir crazy is to hop in a bubble bath together and relax for a bit. I've always bathed with my girls, its an experience I know I'll cherish looking back on forever. When the wonderful people at aden + anais asked if I would review their new mum + bub skincare line, I immediately responded with a resounding "YES!" If anyone knows me, you know that I've already purchased every single swaddle they've ever made because I think they are the best things ever. I use them for everything under the sun: nursing covers, sleep blankets, sun shields, carseat covers, play blankets, and yes of course to swaddle Alba up at night. Knowing how much I already loved this company, I just knew that any avenue they pursued would have to turn out amazing - I was right. Today I'm g...
