FAMILY DAY: FRIEND EDITION














The sun was warm and the breeze, cool.  A perfect, eighty degree second day of spring was our time to meet up with friends, catch up, and enjoy the weather.  For as many times as we all tried to get together, we've had quite a few flops -- so we made sure to do as much as we could this past Wednesday.

We started early, around 11AM to head over for lattes at Metropolis, then walked to the nearest beach to stick our toes in the water.  We refueled with frozen yogurt up on Belmont, then trekked to eat one of the best hot dogs you'll have in Chicago.  

To note, Sofia loves pickles.  And Abby.

Any photos that you can see me in were taken by him.

    I love seeing how other people spend their days off in the city. Hot Doug's?!?! omg, hot dogs are probably the number one reason I won't completely give up meat. That's it. I'm going next week.

    @rossie you HAVE to go!! It's amazing. Erick loves the goose-liver one, I love the Bridget Bardot, and even the regular hot dogs are amazing. So good.

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.

At Home In California

I've gotta tell you, I was in no way truly prepared to make this move. We checked and double checked, we read all the helpful articles online, we had our things shipped and boxed, and while they were packing up all that we had in Chicago, we realized quickly that we were bare-bones equipped for a proper "adult" home. Erick and I met in our young twenties, our partying show-going, dancing till the wee hours days. I didn't have a piece of furniture when we moved in together. Our hand-me-down love seat grew much too small for our family of four and when visitors stopped by (which was a very rare occurrence, I might add... but still... preparation is key!) we just never had anywhere for them to sit. So many memories of people happily squeezing their bums together on that love seat while others awkwardly paced our floors probably wondering, gee, can't these people just figure their seating situation out already?! Enter California. Our stuff arrives, nearly a mon...

Hello, It's Me

* screeeeeeech.... opens door * Hello? Are you in there? I'm baaaaaaack! Holy shnikeys! It's only been a good two years or so. Talk about a blogging hiatus. So, after many many failed attempts at fancy Squarespace sites and having absolutely zero direction on which way I wanted to go, I found myself right back here. Good 'ol blogger. Good 'ol free simple template. Good 'ol feed with all my old friends. It's been a long, long time. And it feels weird! But I'm dusting off the cobwebs anyway and just writing because I need to. Plain and simple. Now, a few things-- the blog title is a bit different. My kiddos are nearly three and five years old so diapers [thankfully] are a thing of the past. Hallelujah! And if you haven't heard, folks, skinny jeans are out. They're done! Bring on the bellbottoms, culottes and 90's fashion revival. You heard it here first, everyone. Just wait.  Also. Growing up. I kinda laugh at how much...
