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…
Splish, splash! Summer is here!
It’s officially summer. It’s officially hot. Beany is officially a pool baby. Happy Friday! XO, Katrina
Sometimes we play stickers
Beany has always been a detail-oriented, hands-on kind of girl, and over the past few months, her constant need for “doing” has manifested itself in an obsession with stickers. Fortunately, both grandmas are happy to oblige the little sticker bean, whose tiny hands are oft at work. Simple play is the best kind of play,…
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid
I know I don’t generally do this, but after going through my latest batch of Beany photos, there’s something about this one that I just had to share. She changes so quickly, and I’m thankful for cameras that allow me to capture her as she is right now. Tomorrow she’ll be someone new. And I’ll…
Doll skirt DIY and a note to younger me
Yesterday, with deadlines looming and work to be done, I spent the morning sewing a new skirt for Beany’s beloved Bunny, the doll whose been the favorite naptime, bedtime, all-time companion for more than a year but whose received affection — and countless trips through the washing machine — was beginning to take its toll…
For Beany’s cookie jar: DIY felt cookie tutorial
In my very favorite episode of Little House on the Prairie, a snow-covered Mr. Edwards bursts through the door of the Ingalls family home on their first Christmas in Kansas. There’s a blizzard blowing outside, and Mr. Edwards looks more like a frosty Santa Claus than his usual grizzly man self. Although I could replay…
Springtime in January: Beany reads outside
Today is appropriately chilly for Jan. 31. Cold and getting colder, says the weatherman. Last night, we listened as buckets of rain poured down overhead and howling winds blew our poor skinny trees back and forth until they bent like licorice. Piglet would have said, “Tut, tut.” But then, it was already raining. Weather is…
Have a holly, jolly Christmas!
Well, the countdown is closing in. With cookies still to bake, presents still to wrap and snow time fun still to be had, we’re going full-on Christmas here, and I’m happy beyond happy to be able to soak up the holiday with family and pups and baby snuggles galore. I hope your holiday is a…
Beany’s weekly photo project
Last week, our baby turned 1. That perfect little bean who came into the world barely bigger than our bitty-sized poodle, whose newborn cry sounded more like a kitty cat’s meow, who was all eyes and sweetness swaddled snug in a blanket. Yep, that little baby turned 1. Being the photo-taking folks that we are,…
A pumpkin for punkins: Felt jack-o-lantern DIY
The words baby-proof and kid-friendly never meant as much as they did the day Beany became mobile. Suddenly all those pretty things that we carefully placed around the house in just the perfect spots had to be put up higher — or put away entirely. Why don’t they make home décor items that look 100 percent…
