FAMILY DAY -- LA GRANGE, IL


And almost as if on cue, our chilly, wet weekend opened up with warm rays of sun.

Most days we don't know whether or not to bring our jackets, but today they were off and it sure felt wonderful!!  Erick, Sofia and I spent our Wednesday together downtown in La Grange, IL to walk around outside, grocery shop, and grab a bite to eat.  And really... who are we kidding, of course we got frozen yogurt.  If you're ever in the area, this is by far -- the best frozen yogurt I've ever had.

I sincerely hope all of you are enjoying your week!

I really hope to post some yummy recipes up on the blog as long as my novice-ability doesn't get the best of me! ;) I feel like I have a lot to say in the realm of food and health lately, but really haven't had the time to just sit and hash out how I want to say it.  The ideas, though, they're there, and they're flowing... you better believe it!  It's invigorating.

    I have to admit, though now I feel like a creeper, that I've been following your blog for a bit and I finally thought I should speak up about how ridiculously inspiring you are. The level of motivation you have in everything you do, especially with a family, is untouchable.

    The bit about your passion for health and healthy eating is what got me to comment finally, as it's a central focus in my life (and difficult, too, between working and an upcoming wedding and babysitting my niece and yadda yadda!) and I'm always happy to see a commitment in others. Keep it up! Your blog is fantastic. :)

    Kayleigh, thank you. It means more to me than you know! I've been trying so hard lately and I've finally just come to the tipping point of it being "now or never" to take control of my life, my health, and my own wellbeing. I hope to delve a bit deeper once I get these thoughts written down, but I appreciate you stopping in to say something :)

    Good luck with your half marathon, I hope I can get there some day!

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.
