New Year! New projects! New baby!

January 6, 2014 By Katrina

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,…

Sometimes we play stickers

June 14, 2013 By Katrina

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

June 7, 2013 By Katrina

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…

For Beany’s cookie jar: DIY felt cookie tutorial

In my very favorite episode of Little House on the Prairie, a snow-covered Mr. Edwards bursts through the door of the Ingalls family home on their first Christmas in Kansas. There’s a blizzard blowing outside, and Mr. Edwards looks more like a frosty Santa Claus than his usual grizzly man self. Although I could replay…

Minding our Ps and Qs: Ricotta Lemon Bars

February 5, 2013 By Katrina

Minding our Ps and Qs: Ricotta Lemon Bars

Nothing makes you reevaluate your words, actions and unintentional mannerisms quite like spending your days with a 2-foot-tall mimic. Toddlers come with an innate talent for reflecting the good, not-so-good and do-I-really-do-that kinds of qualities in the people around them, and our Beany girl has taken to this age-required aptitude with zeal. Our regular conversations…

Springtime in January: Beany reads outside

January 31, 2013 By Katrina

Today is appropriately chilly for Jan. 31. Cold and getting colder, says the weatherman. Last night, we listened as buckets of rain poured down overhead and howling winds blew our poor skinny trees back and forth until they bent like licorice. Piglet would have said, “Tut, tut.” But then, it was already raining. Weather is…
