The 52 Project, 6/52: Beany and Bear: I think everyone in Boston went out the evening after our great big snow last week. It was beautiful. Seriously, so pretty. The trees were heavy with snow. The sunset made everything almost pink. And Beany and Bear were walking in a magical winter wonderland. I’ve never seen kids take…

The 52 Project, 5/52: Beany: I’d like to say this wasn’t posed, but it totally was. “Mommy, take my picture by this cute bike!” Still, she has the effortlessly cool look down pat. Bear: A springlike Sunday at the park in the middle of winter. While his sister ran across bridges and flew down slides, this…

Worth the Effort: Pain Aux Raisins
We’ve been told time and again that hard work is worth the effort, but here’s the real deal: Some things aren’t always worth the effort. Wrangling two kids into coats and hats to traipse through a foot of snow to go buy diapers when Amazon two-day shipping is just so free? Not worth it. Getting…

It snowed, you guys! And these kids are taking it like old pros. Here’s 3/52:

The 52 Project, 2/52: Bear: He’s looking like a little rascal these days, always climbing on things just to see if he can. His sister’s bed is the latest mountain he’s checked off his list. Beany: Post-bath curls in her usually straight hair, with the last bit of twinkle from the Christmas tree — two of my favorite things just…
Fall Means Apple Picking
I’m happy to report that fall has finally arrived in New England. It seems like it’s taken longer this year, and the trees — though still very green — are starting to show signs of the changing season. It’s cool enough now to keep the windows open most of the day, which always sends a…
You guys, it snowed. Lots.
You guys, it snowed. Like 2-feet-and-counting snowed. This morning, when Beany ran into our room at 6:15, pulled back the blinds and looked at our snow-covered deck, the first words out of her mouth were: “Wow! Look at this! It snowed so much! It’s so high!” Then she thought for a second about what this…

First(ish) snow of the season! Hats and coats required. “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” sung on repeat. We’re so glad winter is coming! XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Photo 42/52: No naps
We headed downtown after lunch to cruise Newbury Street and the Boston Public Garden yesterday, and it turned out to be a pretty nice (albeit cold) afternoon in the city. It was mostly just one of those get-out-of-the-house kind of trips, without much of a plan besides stopping by Georgetown Cupcake for some Halloween-themed desserts (my…
