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!

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.

"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013." SOFIA:  You are my goofy child, my prankster.  You are the spitting image of your Papa, though every now and again I find some piece of myself in you and it makes me pause.  You are my lover, and you are my fighter.  You greet me in the morning with sweet, breathy kisses that only the mouth of a little girl can give.  I hope you will look back on this blog and find strength when you're feeling kicked-down, confidence when you're doubting your abilities, and daily reminders of how much love we have for you, for our home, for our marriage, for this little life we've made.  I am thankful for every day I get to be your mum, and you are certainly becoming the most beautiful soul I could have hoped to raise. This photo was a stand-out favorite, but you can find more from our day  here . TAKING PART IN THE 52 PORTRAIT SERIES  |  STARTED BY: CHE AND FIDEL
