renegade craft fair: chicago














There are so many good things to say about handmade products; whether it be posters and screen prints, magazines, jewelry, organic soaps, or clothing-- supporting local and independent artists is something I've always been passionate about.

My family and I, along with a few familiar faces Abby, Katherine headed out to the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago this weekend.  A delightful street fair with thousands of vendors, we were able to catch up and get our hands on some really neat treasures.  So many wonderful moments from the day: Glazed and Infused doughnuts, new friends, exciting news, meeting the lovely Katie from OffSwitch Magazine in person, and bringing home our giant 24x24" AdventureTime 8-bit prints!  Yes, Abby... we did it!

If you have the opportunity to head to this fair, it runs again tomorrow from 11-7PM down Division St. in Wicker Park.

Definitely worth trekking the crowds for.  Happy Saturday, everyone!

    Oh the memories :)

    I'm so jealous that you guys bought the AdventureTime prints! I wanted a pair but couldn't bring myself to shell out the cash.

    MATHEMATICAL!

    i totally agree. easy is such a brilliant invention purely because of the connection we get to feel between the hand maker and the buyer. such a cool bond!

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...
