8/52

8/52

The 52 Project, 8/52: Bear: The older he gets, the more we see the strong-willed little boy he’s becoming. He wants to do everything his sister does — he just doesn’t want her telling him how to do it. So he’ll happily watch as she jumps and squeals and splashes in puddles. Then when he…

What Kids Can Teach You

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…

Colorful Indoor Garden Craft for Kids

Colorful Indoor Garden Craft for Kids

Around Christmastime we made an IKEA run and, per our usual, came home with a unique smattering of items: festive chair cushions, drawers for under Beany’s bed, a few packs of batteries and a gigantic roll of paper designed for an easel we still don’t own. The cushions were fun through the holidays, the drawers are great toy storage…

Photo 20/52: Happy trails to you

May 19, 2014 By Katrina

There’s a community path near our house that for a lot of the folks who live around us is the fastest/easiest/preferred means of getting to the train station and into the city. It’s a pretty, paved trail with lots of trees, street lights and a seemingly constant stream of people. Seriously, the place is busy, which…

Easy breezy summer salad: Avoca roasted peppers and chickpeas

Easy breezy summer salad: Avoca roasted peppers and chickpeas

Like anything worth its while, blogging is one of those adventures that takes time, work and tinkering to really find your groove and get things exactly how you like them. Of course, then another few months go by, and you’ve changed your mind entirely. It’s the mark of any creative endeavor I suppose. Switcheroos and…

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

The missing zing: Balsamic-glazed penne with roasted asparagus

I love balsamic vinegar. Like, really love it. I add it to pasta, salad, rice, almost any savory dish that seems a little lacking in flavor. And I add it in quantities that would probably make most people shudder. Jared certainly likes it well enough, too, but any time I’m cooking and he sees me…

Spring, salad and photo shoots

Spring, salad and photo shoots

Except for a few sporadic drizzles, it’s been absolutely gorgeous here the past few weeks. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and our puppy and toddler are both filled with more energy than usual. Hooray for spring around the corner! I’m a winter girl through and through, but being a mom makes me…

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Easy (and lovely!) Asparagus Gruyere Tart

Although I will always and forever be a winter girl at heart (hence the yearly stream of holiday tunes and bi-weekly watching of Christmas movies), there are plenty of things to love about springtime. After all, if the outside can’t be covered in snow, it might as well be green and leafy and flowery and…
