Scenic Sunday - Costa Rica

It's Sunday! A day for worship, a day for sleeping in, a day for family, a day for reflection, a day for leftovers, a day for prayer, a day for naps, a day for reading, and the day I post a picture of God's beautiful creation.

Scenic Sunday was created by Michelle over at Pieces of Me. Here is her description of what Scenic Sundays are all about:

"Sometimes we are so busy with everyday life that we forget to appreciate the beauty that God has placed before us. Scenic Sundays are about stopping and smelling the roses. And while you're smelling those roses, take a picture so that others can share in your appreciation for the beauty of His creation. So pretty please come join us on Scenic Sundays. Maybe we'll see things in a different light.
"

See why I participate? So often life travels in warp speed and this meme reminds me to stop and smell those roses. It also reminds me of my travels, you know, before we had kids, before we had a backyard that is a tourist destination...

I'm going with the water theme again and again it's a picture of a picture (hence the reflective bits in there).

I wish I could tell you exactly where I was in Costa Rica, but we moved around a lot in the 10 days I was there so I'm not sure of the town. What I do know is that the bus couldn't get to our hostel so we had to walk a mile. The howler monkeys were LOUD so waking up early to take this picture of the sun coming up and the tide coming in was a piece of cake.

I'm auto publishing this so it's ready to go for Sunday morning, but will add my name to the Mr. Linky during naps. Hope to see you there too. :)

  3. MamaBear...I guess you know I have a soft spot for this one. Costa Rica is my home away from home and you've captured it beautifully. I hope you enjoyed your trip there.

"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
