GOAL SETTING | ABBY MALLETT

I know many of you might recognize this face right away.

It's unmistakable. And also very beautiful.

I'm so pleased to be featuring Abby from Abby In The Arts on this week's Goal Setting: Abby and I just had the opportunity to spend some time together recently outside of work, and I really cherish those experiences and memories we have together. Abby has singlehandedly taught me about the ins-and-outs of life, creating tiny nervous systems (ha!), and just being a great friend in general. She's a fantastic designer, knitter, baker, and really- a jack of all trades. She can light up a room and make you double over in laughter. Her energy is infectious and I hope we remain close for years to come.

I've got some fantastic new people lined up for next week's feature,
and just as a reminder, anyone is free to join in on the fun of sharing
your goals for the new year. Submit your entry here.

Week 27 Update

Hello fellow internet peoples. Decided to give a HD video update for the beginning of my third trimester. (WE SO EXCITED!) It was a ton of fun to make, this time we were at home in Chicago. Erick had a bunch of lighting equipment after all the interviews he did with the chicago school councils, so before he had to ship them back we took full advantage ;) I'm learning more about codec and h.264 and prores 422 and although it makes absolutely no sense to me, maybe it will be useful knowledge in the future. What do I know? It was obviously a very gesture laden, emotional, 10 minute interview. I hope you all enjoy it. It really is longer than I expected but instead of completely chopping it up, I decided to leave it how it is. It's pure, natural, pregnant-y goodness of brain farts, odd humor, and searching for the right words. If you make it to the end, remind me to give you a gold star or something. I'll do it. ** A ...

bump : week 23

The sub-zero weather has kept us indoors, but it hasn't kept us from having the most amount of fun possible. I've been enjoying hot cups of tea served with teaspoons of sugar and condensed milk, curling up with my favorite blanket and enjoying the tap-tap, nudge-nudge of the littlest De La Rosa. Though I find myself playing catch up yet again (I'm 24 weeks!) I'm not complaining in the least bit. I've had this little family of mine all to myself for a full four days with no work, no emails, no agenda and no pressure. Ahhhhh... happy winter celebration, little baby. PS- did you know Erick finally launched his website ? It's up, it's responsive, and it's gorgeous. I'm a proud muma bear.
