A perk of living in a park

SisterBear wasn't so sure it's a perk to have cross-country ski trails out our front door or more specifically, that there are toddler and preschool sized skis at our disposal.


BrotherBear was a little hesitant at first, but then he was asking to go down the hills again and again.



He quickly left his little sister in the dust snow.


She didn't notice.


You can see the difference in his expressions when he'd fall. The more comfortable he got, the less he cared when he fell.


Almost an hour later, the moon was getting pretty bright and we hadn't eaten dinner yet. PapaBear had stew* warming on the stove so we called it a night.


A very good night.


*Give me a day or two and I'll get my stew recipe posted. It's a cinch to make and sooo tasty!

  1. Looks like fun, but I think I will have to stick with tubing... I tried skiing once, once I tell you and no more. I spent the whole trip on my tushie, they even had to stop the ski lift so someone could come and pick me up. Uh yeah, I will stick with tubing (lol).

    Thanks for sharing the pics!!

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
