Photo 35/52: ‘I need to talk to my baby brother’
For the past three mornings in a row, Jared and I have woken to the sound of Beany’s little voice coming through the baby monitor. “It’s another day! I need to talk to my baby brother. Hi, my big boy! Did you have good dreams? I will give you my buddies.” This is our cue to…
Photo 30/52: Baby blues and growing girls
Bear: Big blues eyes, taking in the world. Beany: Is it just me, or does she suddenly look like a kindergartener? It makes me proud and weepy all at the same time. Happy weekend, pals! XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 28/52: Let’s go exploring
Beany: “Let’s look, Mommy. Let’s go looking.” A week at the farm turned her into an explorer. Bear: Teething in the sunshine. Oh, what a face. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 27/52: Family, farms and the big open road
I’m back! After one long month, 3,300 miles of open road and a flurry of family visits, life is finally feeling reasonably back to normal around here. We knew for months that we were heading to Wisconsin this summer for my grandma’s 90th birthday party (heeeey!), and after going back and forth about whether we’d prefer to…
Project NYT: Jordan Marsh’s Blueberry muffins
A few weekends ago, Jared and I went to my grandparents’ house for the evening. After dinner, my grandma, mom and aunt started talking about how my grandma prepared the delicious meal: how she roasted the vegetables, how she cooked the corned beef (it was a St. Patrick’s Day meal after all) and how she…
Happy Christmas, Harry!
As my chocolate-filled advent calendar was kind enough to point out this morning: It’s here, it’s here! Christmas Eve is here! Woo to the hoo! Woot woot! And every other happy exclamation I use on this blog o’ mine (Yay! Yahoo! Eep!)! Today will no doubt be filled with bunches of baking and wrapping, spending time…
Tour de lights = tour de force
A few years ago, Jared and I stumbled upon a new tradition after finishing up some last-minute Christmas shopping. It was just getting dark outside when we pulled into the Starbucks drive-thru, grabbed a few festive beverages and started to head back home. A pretty decent snowstorm had passed through the area a few days…
Favorite things: Nice to gnome you
Does anyone remember that cartoon David the Gnome that played on Nickelodeon way back in the day (and by back in the day, I mean the early ’90s, for all you shoulder-pad-rockin’, slap-bracelet-wearing folks out there)? The show followed the daily adventures of David and his wifey, Lisa, a couple of 350+-year-old gnomes who lived…
Thankful, thankful, thankful
Happy Thanksgiving to all! It’s a busy day of cooking (and subsequent eating) up in here, and as much as I love a good bloggy day, there are some things you just can’t get from ye ole computer screen. But before I head back to the kitchen for another round, here’s a list of what…
