Super Simple Toddler-Friendly Valentines

January 30, 2014 By Katrina

Super Simple Toddler-Friendly Valentines

This toddler-friendly Valentine’s Day craft really is easy enough to warrant zero tutorial for how to make it, but Beany had such a good time with her piles of pink hearts the other day, I thought I’d share our super simple project. Basically, you just cut out a gazillion hearts of different sizes, supply your…

Photo 3/52: Teenager Beany

January 27, 2014 By Katrina

Maybe it’s the reality that an itty bitty boy will be joining our family in a matter of weeks, but Beany has been looking so grown up to me in photos lately. How did this happen so fast? XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany every week of the…

Beany vs. the Boxed Cookie: A Quest for Homemade Fig Newtons

Anyone who’s a parent will probably tell you that, despite all of the times and all of the ways that they feel they’re falling a bit shy of the mark, there are at least a few parenting-related things that they feel pretty good about. It’s been true for us. Yes, we cave to demands for…

Window to the future? I see this exact face and scenario repeating in about 13 1/2 years. And I volunteer Jared as resident driving instructor. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany every week of the year.

Salad for lunch, cookies for dinner: Peanut butter chocolate chip biscuits

Salad for lunch, cookies for dinner: Peanut butter chocolate chip biscuits

Well, we’ve made it through the season of sweets, and now my blog reader and Pinterest feed are filled with fancy salads, whole grains and about seven gazillion paleo recipes. I suppose January is the time for all of that. It’s out with the, “Eat what you want because it’s Christmastime, y’all!” and in with…

New Year! New projects! New baby!

January 6, 2014 By Katrina

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! As always, it flew by this year, but we spent tons of great time with family and friends, and now we’re ready to take on 2014 with reckless abandon. Well, maybe not reckless abandon, but we’re going to live it up — you know,…

Happy Christmas to all!

December 24, 2013 By Katrina

We’re full swing into holiday fun around here, but I thought I’d drop by to share an enthusiastic “Happy Christmas” along with our family’s Christmas card for this year. It might be my favorite to date. Needless to say, Beany and Ella were both pretty excited about the cookie situation (sugar will do that to…

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

Wrapping Week 2013: O Tannenbaum

Well, we started the week with Beany’s favorite wrapping project, and we’re ending the week with Jared’s, though I’m not sure whether it’s his favorite because he loves how it looks or because he had a hand in the process. I originally planned to break pencils into small pieces, glue those together to make the…

Wrapping Week 2013: Ready to Mail

December 12, 2013 By Katrina

My love for paper is pretty intense, and I could probably be happy for an unreasonably large amount of time surrounded by cardstock and stationery. But no matter how strong that love might be, watching an hour’s worth of bow-making get crunched and smooshed by way of suitcase, mail or toddler hands is not my…

Wrapping Week 2013: Pretty in Polka Dots

December 11, 2013 By Katrina

The other day I was hanging up some laundry to dry and realized that between Beany and me, we could rock a polka dot nearly every day of the week. The entire doorframe of the master closet (the designated drying spot in our humble abode) was filled with a smattering of spots in varying sizes…
