just a few moments







We've been out and about lately, but this week I am hunkering down on my housework.  I have lots to do before we head off on an airplane to Mexico, and even more on my mind as I'm beginning to plan the little details of it all.  A portfolio site is still in the works as far as my photography, we've purchased the last of the odds-and-ends we need to wrap up these house projects (and nearly took home everything from IKEA in the process), and I'm beginning to sketch out the plans for our garden this year.  There have been more "poop in the bathtub" incidents, continuously falling snow, pants that come off the minute I'm home from work, two-year birthday parties, and some photo booth portraits that have happily graced our presence.  I love this life.

What have you been up to lately?

      No you didn't miss anything, don't worry! It's the first I've spoken of it, but I'm shooting an international wedding and Erick is lucky enough to come with. We're making a very short trip out of it... I guess this is our "babymoon" ? ? ! !

    Poop in the bathtub = one of my least favorite things in this world. Thankfully we haven't had one of those incidents in a long time! Haha!

    Have a great time in Mexico - sounds like a lovely place to be right about now.

    Took everything home from IKEA?! Now what am I going to buy? ; )

    I'm so jealous. I can't wait to have our own place to furnish.

    Pants AND bra off the minute I walk in the door. Actually, if it were socially acceptable to just be naked *all* of the time, I'm at the point where I'd probably consider it.

    Mexico should be a lovely break from this sudden Chicago winter! Enjoy!

    Ah! Mexico- congratulations you guys! Enjoy the trip and your break from poopy bathtubs. We all need a break from that sometimes. Life is so busy and crazy right now.. isn't it supposed to slow down after the holidays?! xo

    Hi! I just came across your cute little corner of this big blog world! I get so excited when I see other blog mamas who are from Chicago because it seems like there aren't many of us. I currently reside in La Grange Park! I also just started a blog documenting my life as a SAHM. I already love your blog and I would love if you would check out mine as well!

    xo,

    Haha! I've never gotten poop in the bathtub (knock on wood!)! I love your photography and how you capture glimpses of your family together. My husband works a full time day job so we don't get as much time to spend on outings but it's nice when we do to try and capture the moments. Very inspiring to do so. Good luck in all of your endeavors and on your new little one!

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...
