diapers and skinny jeans

Hi, friends! I've decided to take a huge leap and start my own 365 project with the girls. Gulp! I may be in over my head, but if you're interested, it will be at a lovely separate space to keep things un-cluttered and solely 365 related. You can follow along and be updated when I post our daily photos  via bloglovin' . We'll be posting weekly over at Jodi's place, too! So, what does this mean for Diapers & Skinny Jeans? To be honest, I'm not 100% certain yet; the space will mostly likely receive some sort of a face-lift within the new year, and I will keep on writing when my heart feels like it. This is, and will continue to be, the home of my Sling Diaries entries and has been such an integral part of my online history. This is where it all began. This is my outlet to journal, to get creative. Where over the course of the years, I have tried out all of the blogging fads like recipe making, DIYs, and starting my own columns. You try on differ...

52/52 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013." That's it! That's a wrap. I cannot even BELIEVE that I made it a whole year. Obviously, I'm a little behind, but I am still so incredibly happy to be standing here at the proverbial end of the 52 Project and looking back at the memories made this past year. How incredible. We're all incredible. I have to thank Jodi for being such an amazing inspiration and host, that woman is a true talent. She brought about such a wonderful community of moms and dads, and even though I haven't been commenting much, I've been browsing around everyone's photos and am continually blown away. This photo-documenting business is no easy feat, and this project has taught me, shaped me, in more ways that I can even articulate at the moment. I've thought long and hard about this, and I will be continuing in 2014 in a brand new space with an even loftier goal~~~ 3  6  5   ! I hope you...

51/52 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013." Sofia & Alba: exactly as you are, 100% of the time. One more to go!

in the quiet of your heart, you will hear them. little wild moments, free of judgement and fear. they are authentic, sweet girls, and they are yours. no need to be embarrassed; don't be pressured into shame. deep, deep, desires and your hopes of life and change. dreams in the night sky, dreams at the sun's rise. twirling through your headspace, everything your heart says, v i b r a t i n g  w i d l y, jotted down on a page. ____  i've been thinking a lot about my own dreams lately, the things i've been lucky enough to accomplish this year and everything i hope for 2014. the sling diaries experience has brought out the creative side of me that had been pushed to the back of my mind for a while. it has inspired me to bare everything - to have the confidence to believe in myself and manifest some of my own treasured visions to light. to contribute to something even bigger t...

50/52 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013." Sofia- having a bit of fun playing around after our sling diaries shoot Alba- also in on the aforementioned shenanigans ;) Here we are, two portraits left until the end of the series. I'm a bit behind some of you still, but I feel proud as I near the end of this project that I know I will see to completion. I feel a book and some framed prints coming on!

49/52 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013." Alba- most everyone thinks you're a serious baby, but I always see your smirks. Sofia- wrapped up in linen, never too old to be worn - I'll treasure this photo forever. I cannot believe we're almost done with this series! Only a few weeks left now. Just looking at this diptych I am reminded of how much my children have grown over the year. I can't keep thinking about it or I might get too teary... thank you all for letting me catch up these past few days. This blog of mine will be getting some much needed attention and care in the new year : ) 

48/52 "A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013." Sofia- the way you take your naps now makes me giggle! You don't seem to mind at all how uncomfortable this looks. Alba- post-diaper changing session. It doesn't get much better than a tiny baby bum!
