a brand new morning




It was the perfect start to the brand new year - delicious spelt bread, peach preserves, slow-drip coffee and a bit of world news from the warmth of inside.  I plan on reflecting a lot about the past year, and scribbling out our plans for the next.  My biggest hope for the day is to spend some time cleaning up and starting the year with a fresh home and sorting through old photos for a "wrap-up of 2012" post I've been trying to organize.  I have so much gratitude for the growth I've seen to this space in the past year, and can't wait to continue to share our story with you. Thank you all for inspiring me and welcoming me into your community with open arms.  I feel so blessed.

Happy New Year, friends - from our family to yours, I truly hope this year is your best one yet.

If you find yourself needing a bit more inspiration, this post puts everything into perspective quite perfectly.

      Happy 2013 to you too, mama! Making coffee like that is my new favorite way to brew.

      I'm so, so glad that the link could offer some insight. That's exactly what it did for me - I had to share! Just the comfort of knowing that we will never stay stagnant even if we tried is enough to start this year on a high note. Thankful you've found your way over here, and I look forward to getting to know you better in the coming year! :) xo

    I love the optimism of a new year...and have a feeling this one will be a pretty ace one too. Looking forward to sharing stories in blogland - and especially can't wait to hear about the journey from a family of three to four! x

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.

welcoming fall: hiking together

A while back, I had posted about dreading the change of the season.  I was so caught up in my whirlwind of a summer, the beautiful weather, the bare feet, the music and late night dancing in the wilderness, camping, and vacations that I barely remembered or welcomed the un-rushed pace that comes with the beginning of fall. Living in the middle of the city has been a blessing for finding new, exciting and bustling places to eat and explore, but so many times I'm wishing for the opportunity to do something a little less... urban .  I grew up in the country, and Erick, in the city- so now we've been doing our best to give our child the best of both worlds. We took a drive about 40 minutes south of the city to a little place in the suburbs and welcomed the crisp and cool air that kissed our cheeks as we embarked on a tiny adventure in the forest.  Hiking with a toddler is such an enriching exper...

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...
