HAPPY WEEKEND!


Hey everyone!  We hope you have an awesome weekend!  We've got big birthday plans with Erick and Diego and then we're off to Justina's baby shower on Sunday.  I'll be back to my regular posting schedule this week including awesome new ideas For Mama/For Baby, a new Goal Setting, and possibly another photo shoot!  For anyone in Chicagoland area, make sure you're careful if you're out and about in the crazy snow out there.

  3. We are staying at the Marriott on Hubbard and Dearborn. Today my husband actually has a day off...any suggestions? Touristy things? We have a 17 month old with us. Anything involving wine for later, works.

    We leave tomorrow so this is it! Thanks :)

  4. The purple pig downtown has great food, cheese and wine for later... And as far as touristy, I love the MCA for art and stuff, water tower place if you want to shop, or you could always do shedd aquarium or something like that (I just hate paying $$). It stinks its so cold out, I feel like there's more to do and it's easier to get places in the summer! I love the park!

    Hope you guys have a great time!

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.

bump : week 26

We traveled to the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art this past week for their children and families day to take some quick photos and watch Sofia explore the artistic activities they had provided for little ones.  We had the best time, and I have become increasingly aware of just how important these moments of family time are to all of us.  I can say I have officially reached the stage where my normal jeans are starting to feel too tight and coming home from work quickly means "no-pants".  Can you believe that in just 12 short weeks I could be giving birth?  I know I can't! I feel ready. WEARING:   POLKA DOT CHIFFON DOUBLE-LAYERED FULL LENGTH SKIRT IN CREME + BLACK BY AMERICAN APPAREL  |  PHOTOS: BY ERICK
