Dressing The Bump



Cardigan, Francesca's 
Purse, Forever 21
Leggings, Marshall's
Tank, Motherhood

I never do style posts because, well, I don't really feel like I have a certain style.  (Or at least wear expensive enough clothing to seem cool.)  That's a joke.  Being resourceful and thrifty when it comes to clothing is definitely cooler to me than designer anything.  I've pretty much always thought this way, especially growing up.  

Now days, dressing this growing baby bump has become a fun challenge... I try and use whatever pre-pregnancy clothes I can still fit into while incorporating some maternity pieces if necessary.  I am very proud to say one pair of my pre-preggo skinnies fit me still (with a bella band of course) and I have one maternity pair with the ever-elusive "panel." Seeeex-ay! *ahem.*

I'll be back in a little bit, I'm going to try and track down some cheap shelves and nursery knick knacks.  Hopefully I can find some inexpensive treasures.  I'll also be picking up art paper for my thank you's.  Can't wait to show you how this project turns out.  I hope I don't screw it up- I have to be very focused when it comes to crafting.  (Stupid short attention span...)

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.

bump : week 22

I've said it before, but if I could pack up and move my entire family straight into the By The Barkers studio space, I would. Absolute heaven! As for our little one, he or she has been giving me strong, swift kicks - especially around bed time.  Waves and ripples dance across my belly as I lay in bed waiting, watching.  I'll admit, it's been difficult for Erick and I since we've decided to keep things a surprise as far as the gender.  We were both so used to the feeling of knowing with Sofia that it's made this pregnancy a completely unique experience.  My intuition keeps swaying back and forth wondering if this little one is a boy or girl, and judging by the way that I look, feel and eat, my best guess is that we have another little lady on the way. (Though, if you ask Sofia, she's already told us she thinks baby is a "bruh-der")  !!! Mamas out there, was your intuition right? Any tell-tale signs or...

welcoming fall: hiking together

A while back, I had posted about dreading the change of the season.  I was so caught up in my whirlwind of a summer, the beautiful weather, the bare feet, the music and late night dancing in the wilderness, camping, and vacations that I barely remembered or welcomed the un-rushed pace that comes with the beginning of fall. Living in the middle of the city has been a blessing for finding new, exciting and bustling places to eat and explore, but so many times I'm wishing for the opportunity to do something a little less... urban .  I grew up in the country, and Erick, in the city- so now we've been doing our best to give our child the best of both worlds. We took a drive about 40 minutes south of the city to a little place in the suburbs and welcomed the crisp and cool air that kissed our cheeks as we embarked on a tiny adventure in the forest.  Hiking with a toddler is such an enriching exper...
