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…

Picnics are one of Beany’s favorite things to do these days. What’s not to love about packing a lunch and eating outside, right? Actually, I think the newfound love stems from her newfound obsession with lunchboxes, which, quite logically, stems from her newfound fascination with school. Here’s a typical household conversation as of late: Beany: “I can’t go…

Bear: A baby boy fresh from his bath. The light was so perfect when I dried him off that night, so I called Jared in to watch him while I ran from the room to grab the camera. Thankfully he was just as picturesque when I returned. Sometimes these simple moments are the absolute sweetest. Beany: Although we…

A sleepy boy and a new Minnie Mouse puzzle game mean one magical moment of quiet. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.

Having a toddler is wonderful. Having a baby is awesome. Having a toddler who regularly requests to hold her baby brother and then sits there whispering things like, “I know, I know, it’s OK,” and, “Oh, I love you, cute boy,” is about as much as my mommy heart can take. XO, Katrina This post is part…
Photo 29/52: Niagara Falls
We made a stop at Niagara Falls on our way home from Missouri, and that “big, big waterfall,” as Beany still refers to it, was well worth the few miles out of our way. We only stayed a couple of hours, but it’s one of our favorite memories from the whole trip. Beany: Watching the falls from…
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…

Summer fun, playing at the park. So happy and tired, and it’s not even lunch time yet. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
Simple moments: Angel food cake with strawberries and cream
Days start at about 5 in the morning here, and from then until bedtime, it feels pretty nonstop. There’s breakfast to make, a toddler to entertain, a baby to change and a puppy to feed — all before 7 a.m. I know this isn’t unusual for parents with young kids. Or any kids for that…
