DEAR SOFIA -- MOMENTUM











Sofia, today your dad and I renewed our spirits.  We spent the day in one of our favorite Chicago neighborhoods and took advantage of the nice weather we've been having lately.  You still love to listen to Beirut while we drive along the lakeshore.  You still absolutely hate watching us eat, but soon enough you'll be sitting up at the table with us at all our favorite restaurants.  We spent time walking around the beach -- you came too!  (You were sleeping though, tired-pants).  I hope that one day when you're feeling down, you'll ask me to take you to the water.  We'll run in the sand with the wind carrying us wherever it leads and we'll just simply be.  Every once and a while you find those moments that truly give you the momentum to keep pursuing your dreams, to keep pushing forward.  Sofia, today is the day to tread upwards and learn that it's never to late to chase dreams.

I have a lot of photos from the beach this week, I've been shooting non-stop with the new 5d!  I figured instead of cramming them all into one post I'd try to spread them out this time.  :)  Hope you all have had a fantastic weekend.

    @rossie thank you, it was kind of just the right timing, because the 5d mkIII just got announced and they dropped the price of the mkII AND we got our tax return, so we just followed our instinct. it's our dream camera. i'm over the moon with everything right now!

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...
