Every grill has its day: Chopped barbecue chicken salad
When we lived in Missouri, Jared and I had a beast of a grill that took up about a third of the deck space at the back of our small apartment. It sat largely unused for a good five months of the year, but once the weather warmed up enough for Jared to remove his…
Photo 21/52: Say what?
Beany: Oh, how I love this photo. Beany’s enthusiastic approach to anything and everything makes for some pretty great faces. This specific face was a reaction to news that rain was on the way, and her big red ball was going to get wet. “Big red ball? Wet? From rain? And the wind? Oh no, my ball!”…
Boy and girl shared nursery: Blue + pink = happy
Beany’s nursery in our North Carolina apartment was a labor of love in a major way. I had a very clear vision of what I wanted the room to look like, and I spent months choosing fabric, sewing pillows and curtains, picking out furniture and putting it all together. Even with the mile-long to-do list,…
Photo 20/52: Happy trails to you
There’s a community path near our house that for a lot of the folks who live around us is the fastest/easiest/preferred means of getting to the train station and into the city. It’s a pretty, paved trail with lots of trees, street lights and a seemingly constant stream of people. Seriously, the place is busy, which…
Photo 19/52: Mother’s Day
I know this day is supposed to be for celebrating moms, but all I want to do is hug these babies and thank them for making me one. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 18/52: Babies in profile
Beany: Soaking up some rays in her trusty pink polka dotted hat, her signature accessory of choice when the weather starts getting warm. At least half of our photos from last summer involve this hat. Seriously. Bear: Being his easygoing self in the warm air and sunshine. I love how his face says, “Must not fall…
Sundays and sunshine: Lemon donut muffins
I always forget how much I love spring until it comes back again. The weather here has been amazing lately, and we’ve been soaking up some serious outside time (hence my frequent sneezes and ridiculously itchy eyes. Oh, allergies, you rascals!). I’m convinced that few things are better for a kid — particularly a high-energy…
Photo 17/52: Fun at the park
Beany: She’s getting braver by the day and now tackling the “wobble bridge” at the park (with Daddy close behind). This week we blinked, and she became a little kid. Bear: Enjoying our outing like a good baby should (and reminding me that the Ergo carrier was an A+ buy). I’m so, so grateful for this content little guy. Happy…
