There’s something so beautiful about a baby sleeping, don’t you think?

The music you hear is by one of the best human beings that I know, the incredible Chic Streetman. This song is from an album that holds very special meaning to our family. It’s all beautiful lullabies for your baby and for your baby (double entendre you see), called Lullablues :) If you follow that link you can purchase the CD straight from iTunes. It’s well worth it.

Just sharing a bit of my Saturday morning :) NaVloPoMo09 Day 14

A Bit of the Saturday Experience NaVloPoMo09 Day 14 from Elsie Escobar on Vimeo.

First I have to say that I’m pretty amazed I’m keeping up with this whole posting a video every day business for NaVloPoMo :) I think a lot has to do with my new camera and how well it’s been working for me. The workflow for editing quick vids is very easy.

Today’s video is just a little bit of my Saturday morning :)

How did I get soy free, GMO free local eggs raised w/o antibiotics, hormones, pesticides or herbicides delivered to my front door in Pittsburgh?

Farm Delivery - Medium.m4v (17337 KB)

Pretty easily, at least here in Pittsburgh :)

Green Circle Farm raises eggs, chicken, beef, lamb, and turkey that are always:

Soy free
  • GMO free

  • Raised on pasture

  • Raised without antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, or herbicides

    I signed up for their email list and every week you get a little email letting you know what’s available that week and where you can go pick it up. 
    There’s also an option to simply ask regarding delivery somewhere other than what’s on their schedule. 
  • I did just that. I emailed erica and she got back to me, simply asking for my address and voila, today she was here with my fresh local food before noon! Not bad at all :)
    Super great! Especially with the holiday season coming up…why not serve local produce AND support local economy (and families like you and me. Erica came with her 2 lovely little daughters in tow.) 

    Check out Green Circle Farms. It’s absolutely worth it.

    Sunny Fall Day: NaVloPoMo Day 12

    Sunny Fall Day - Medium.m4v (11801 KB)

    It was really lovely outside today. There was a chill in the air so you did have to bundle up a bit, but the mid 50’s sunny weather made the Fall so striking. Hunter and I haven’t had an opportunity to go sit at one of our favorite spots ever since the weather changed, as it was too chilly to sit out there and eat. 

    Today was different.

    The seating area inside the Co-op was too full and the weather was nice so why not?
    Beauty.

    Headless Pigeon: NaVloPoMo09 Day 11

    Did I tell y’all that I got a new camera? Well, review is coming :D

    Anyway,

    This was my first attempt at creating a bit of video while I was teaching class. I obviously did NOT do a very good job at setting the camera. I did it crazy fast and didn’t mess with it at all during class, hence my headless self ;) My motto when dealing with gear while teaching is that if it doesn’t work swaha! I’m not going to fiddle with anything while teaching because…I’m teaching yoga for goodness sake!
    I hope to supplement episodes of Elsie’s Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged Podcast with bits of video of the classes that I record audio for, here and there…sometimes…perhaps….if it doesn’t intrude too much with the flow of things :) 

    So, this was a bit of today’s class over at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. It was fun. 
    If you don’t know about my yoga podcast, you can check out www.elsiesyogakula.com and/or you can subscribe in iTunes, just search for Elsie’s Yoga Class. Oh, and did y’all know I have an iPhone app? Only $3.99 over 70+ audio classes in your pocket :)

    A Great Big Thank You! NaVloPoMo Day 10

    A Great Big Thank You! from Elsie Escobar on Vimeo.

    It was one of those days. My daughter has not slept well for about 5 days now, which means that I haven’t slept well for 5 days. I’ve gotten pretty adept at being sleep deprived but NOT this much! I could barely think today, and my energy was sorely lacking. What’s beautiful about days is that they are just that, days. They grow, they shift, they change, and often times you may just get a little light when you least expect it :D

    Ever since Hunter was born Sesame Street has been my almost daily companion, even when she was too little to even know what anything beyond Mom. I’m thankful to have programs like Sesame Street out there, they are smart, empowering and quite entertaining, with lots of lovable monsters. Oh how I love monsters!Happy 40th Anniversary Sesame Street! Thank you from a very tired Mom :D

    Abuelita Peek A Boo - Mobile.m4v (9895 KB)

    Even though today wasn’t crazy and rushed, I honestly forgot to take out my camera and video tape anything…I took more still shots today. It was quite a lovely fall day. In lieu of a current video, how about a teeny gem from about a month ago, when my Mom and Dad came to visit our little family?

    I watched my little peanut interact with her Abuelita. It was a wonderful. Hunter loved every minute of those car rides.

    Sunday Moments: NaVloPoMo Day 8

    Sunday Moments from Elsie Escobar on Vimeo.

    Moments, flashes of a gorgeous November afternoon at Grandma’s house. It was in the upper 60s, with sunny skies and not a cloud in the sky. 


    The afternoon was just as lovely. There is something to be said for moments, especially moments of quiet stillness between family. Love. 

    Navlomopo Day 8!

    The Power of Glass and Mirrors via The magical Shutter Sisters Blog

     

    There is a belief shared by some cultures that photography has the power to steal a soul… imprisoning it within its amalgam of polyester, celluloid, salts and gelatin.

    What do you believe?

    ………

    Tell me, how do you see yourself? Is it hard for you to step in front of the camera? Be brave and show your self. In truthiness, in art, in mystique… whatever your comfort. The self you put out there might be the one you most want to be. Today you might be the peace before the storm or the rage after the rain. You might be humbled, blessed, joyous, tired, overwhelmed, or bored beyond belief. Discover something about yourself by peering into your own lens. There are alot of stunning self portrait photographs in the Shutter Sister’s collection. Have a peek… and know this:

    This is one of my favorite blogs. It’s called Shutter Sisters. Every time that I have a chance to catch up with my Google Reader I come upon deep and beautiful inspiration!

    Read the full post, subscribe and add your self portrait :D
