moments in july




Hello, dear friends in blog land.  How are you?  We've been quietly enjoying each other's company and taking it slow and easy.  I recently returned to work, so all of my days off have been divided between editing photos, freelance work, or caring for these two delicious bundles of mine.

(I'm happiest when it's the latter).

My journal has been getting more and more attention lately, it seems my mind is busy with things and plans I've made but just simply haven't had the time to act out yet.  I believe it helps to write it all down, especially when time is scarce.  I know that eventually I will get a break in the action to start acting on the projects and columns and yoga and healthiness that have all been slipping between my fingers.  I'm smiling because I know there's just not time in the day for everything and I'm slowly learning to just ahhhh - breathe - accept it.   Not an easy thing for me to do!

How have your summer/winter months been going?

What's been on your to-do list?

    Returning to work is sooooo hard. I am starting back to work full time on Monday after two months home with my 9 month old. I am dreading that same feeling like there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the fun projects and things you want to accomplish. In all things mommyhood I feel like there are lessons in breathing and taking it in. Good reminder.

      Maternity leave never seems long enough - hoping your full time transition goes smoothly.

    I love the photograph where your little ones toes are peeking out-so incredibly perfect!

    We are in the heat of summer here in Texas. There's no way to hide from that sun! Even at the pool it's terribly hot so we hide away indoors as if it's winter.

    Hello lovely lady. That smile is so sweet, all gummy and twinkly eyed.

    My to-do list is mental too. It must be that time of year or something. 'Half way through! Must. finish. projects. now!'
    Onwards! My mind shouts. Cheers to taking it easier. 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.

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...

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...
