The 52 Project, photos 17/52: Beany: My mom always smiles when she talks about how Beany looked as a newborn — like a sweet baby bird, she says, with those big blue eyes on such a teeny, tiny girl. She’s looking so much like a little school kid these days, but when I catch her staring straight…
14/52 and musings on motherhood
The 52 Project, photos 14/52: Beany: Beany with her beloved Bunny. She’s certainly an attentive mother. I also like to think she rules her imaginary kingdom with the noblest intentions, but recent conversations have me wondering. Beany: “Mommy, what does a queen do?” …
What Kids Can Teach You
At the first hint of sunshine and warm weather last weekend, we took off on our first spring adventure of the year. Snacks packed. Kids in the car. Not much of a plan besides Beany’s request for a beach. Lucky for her, New England has plenty of coast to go around.I tend to fall into such a trap of…
NYC and the Window Washer
So many recipes to post. So many photos to edit. This is the year I will catch up! In the meantime, there’s this photo. I’ve been calling it The Window Washer. One week in a hotel in Princeton, New Jersey, and Beany never ran out of things to do. Kids are great that way. And then…
Photo 51/52: All smiles
Our winter weather has been bananas lately. Within the same week, we had a chilly skating day, followed a few days later by a weirdly warmish afternoon at the park. I know the snow is coming, so we should enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. But we have two tiny snowsuits that are ready to…
Merry, merry, merry
Happy Christmas, friends! May your holiday be merry and bright. XO, Katrina
Photo 50/52: Magic in the air
Christmas is nearly here, and we’re feeling lots of love and happy. Hope you are, too. Beany: Scouting out Christmas decorations in downtown Salem. Everything is magic to her right now. Bear: Cozied up again in his trusty bear suit. That sweet sideways smile is making my heart all melty. XO, Katrina This post is…
Photo 49/52: Christmas jammies
I can’t remember a single time in my life that my older brother wanted (or was willing) to dress like me, but I totally get it now. Dressing kids in matching clothes is the best, particularly if those clothes are Christmas jammies. Bear: Have you ever seen a more dapper tuft of hair on a…
Photo 48/52: This is happy
Beany: This photo came mid-song, which went something like this: “I love peanut butter jelly. It’s gooooood! Good in my tummy for meeeeee!” Bear: Teeth! He has one on top and one on the bottom. Funny, right? Fortunately, they’re parallel to each other, so they’re plenty good for chewing. And they make for one adorably toothy grin….
Photo 47/52: Snow babies
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.
