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!
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…
Thanksgiving prep
As of yesterday morning, our refrigerator is loaded, our pantry is stuffed to the gills and our freezer is uncharacteristically full. All of these facts can only mean one thing: Thanksgiving is around the corner. I am pumped. For all of my fellow planner-aheaders and list-makers out there, Thanksgiving is like the ultimate holiday, right?…
Boston in the fall
I know, I know, I’m painfully behind on blogging. Things have been busy. Such is life. But here we are, smack in the middle of my favorite time of year. Fall! Thanksgiving! Christmas! Hooray! So basically I’m glued to Pinterest, cookbooks and Bon Appétit as of late. Oh, and Hallmark Channel. You know, 24 hours…
Fall in New England: Apples, waffles and a hooray for new seasons
I’m sitting here at my desk with a 50-degree breeze coming through the window and feeling almost too chilly to be comfortable. It’s wonderful! It seems fall comes much earlier in New England, and I’m so, so happy for it. This transition to Boston has been tougher on me than I expected. It’s busy. It’s…
Boston, Beany, Beantown
Hello, hello! It’s been so long! I never intended the dear blog to take such a summer respite, but I think it’s safe to say things have been a little wild and crazy for us the past few months. For those who weren’t aware based on Twitter and Instagram ramblings, we’ve moved! Yep, we left…
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…
Spring, salad and photo shoots
Except for a few sporadic drizzles, it’s been absolutely gorgeous here the past few weeks. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and our puppy and toddler are both filled with more energy than usual. Hooray for spring around the corner! I’m a winter girl through and through, but being a mom makes me…
