Baking for Bear: Gluten-free peanut butter cookies

Have you ever noticed how cookies offer a solid answer to so many of life’s questions? What are you bringing to the preschool Valentine’s Day party? Cookies. Quick! I need something to take to the dinner tonight! What does everyone like? Cookies. What dessert can feed a crowd? Cookies. You look like you’ve had a hard day. How can…

Stop and Smell the Pancakes

February 25, 2017 By Katrina

Stop and Smell the Pancakes

Wonderfully slow, sleepy Saturdays. These are what dreams are made of. At least the dreams of sleep-deprived parents who do too much go, go, go and not enough stop and smell the pancakes. But today is a good day. It’s a slow-to-start, breakfast-at-10, happy-kids-and-so-much-sunshine kind of Saturday. And our hearts and tummies are very full.

Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

Wrapping Week 2016: Simple Lattice Gift Wrap

This wrapping idea was 100 percent inspired by pie. That’s totally normal, right? I made a pretty lattice pie crust at Thanksgiving this year, and I’ve been jonesing for a repeat ever since. Of course, ribbon isn’t nearly as delicious as a butter-flour-sugar combo, but the process was nearly identical.

It’s Wrapping Week 2016, Y’all!

Happy almost Christmas! Are your cookies baked? Gifts ordered? Everything wrapped?!? I’ve been counting the days until Beany’s school break, and now that it’s finally here, we’re in full-on Christmas mode. Woo hoo! Both kids are super duper excited, making gifts, constructing (and deconstructing) gingerbread houses and writing letters. They’ve visited with Santa twice this…

Happy Halloween from the Pink Bunny Flower Princess and Captain America!

Happy Halloween from the Pink Bunny Flower Princess and Captain America! These two are beyond excited for a night of spooky fun and way too much candy. Per her usual, Beany picked a costume this year that’s as pink as it is personalized. Actually, the pink faux fur vest was the inspiration behind the whole ensemble….

22/52: Beach Babes

The 52 Project, photo 22/52: Beany and Bear: Oh, these beach kids. This was taken mid-snack during a Saturday trip to Narragansett Town Beach in Rhode Island. Aside from when she went into the water, Beany proudly donned that floppy hat and oversized sunglasses the entire time. Seriously! She looked like an old-timey movie star, and she loved…
