A LITTLE ON THE LATELY




Who's been incredibly busy this holiday season?  I know I can't be alone. It's been kinda nuts for our whole family these past few weeks of December.  I can't believe I only have 13 something days to get all of my shopping done!  Did the beginning of December absolutely fly by or what?  Lately, I've been wishing I had a bigger budget for presents this year, but I'll be the first to tell you that babies take all that "extra" income you never knew you had.  The great thing about not really having the money this year is, I've been able to kick up my creativity for handmade things and goodies!  I've been working on some notecard designs for friends and family as well as our first ever De La Rosa Christmas cards with attached Year In Review.  Are you excited?  I'm excited!

By the way, if you want a card from us this year, email me your address so I can send one out!

In other news- is it just me or does it seem like a lot of the blogosphere is getting pregnant.  Again!
here, here, here, I could go on... but lets just say there are a lot. I will make sure to be extra careful because we need to wait a few years.  Or five.  Or six...

    Ugh I totally know what you. Between working 50 hours, freelance projects, and random acts of house wifery, I barely get a chance to do anything "fun". I heavily rely on weekends, that's for sure.

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...
