A Day in Portland, Maine

August 20, 2015 By Katrina

A Day in Portland, Maine

We spent a day in Portland, Maine, a few weekends back, and I think the more time we spend there, the more we love it. There are so many cute shops (Little and K. Colette are my favorites — so much to see!) and a lot of great restaurants, and I always leave wishing we could stay…

DIY Painted Wooden Letters

DIY Painted Wooden Letters

It’s DIY time, you guys! Jared was at a conference last week for work, so that meant I had two kids in need of distractions. Thankfully, their grandma was here for a visit, but even grandmas need breaks (have you tried sitting on the floor for three hours playing Legos? Ooph!). We rolled into Target in…

Fit for a Fairy: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Fit for a Fairy: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Beany has been increasingly interested in ingredients lately, and her questioning is often relentless. “What is that?” “Where did that come from?” “What does that taste like?” “How did you make it?” This has its plusses and minuses, of course. Curiosity finally convinced her to taste salad dressing, which made her taste spinach salad, which…

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…

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…

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 46/52: Growing up

I think any parent who takes photos of their kids inevitably comes across a picture every now and then that makes them stop and wonder, “When did she (or he) get so big?” For me with Beany, this is one of those photos. I don’t know if it’s the posture, the expression or that ponytail, but every time I…

Even as felines, it’s pretty uncanny. That wide-eyed stare must be genetic. XO, Katrina This post is part of The 52 Project: One photo of Beany and Bear every week of the year.
