The 3 R's

Resting....Relaxing....and Remembering....



Our 4th of July holiday has been quiet considering the shear volumes of people in our park. PapaBear and I even snuck away for a date one night! We went to the Splash pad one day, met Brittany and her family the next, ate our fill of yummy food the next while enjoying the company of good friends, and today I got to hold my niece through church.

After PapaBear returns from picking berries we're headed to the beach. I should have just enough time to finish up a proof site for a client leaving my load that much lighter for the start of the work week tomorrow.

Hope you all had a safe 4th of July weekend filled with restful nights, relaxing days, and remembering of the sacrifices that have been made for our freedom!

    That picture is so sweet. I love the 4th of July--so glad yours was fun! I have my neice (ie? ei? I never know...) for a week now, I'm really going to enjoy her! (She's 18--it'll be like having a nanny!)

    What a sweet picture! We had a relaxing 4th of July as well. Still working on trying to put our weekend into words with the pictures...I seem to have gone blank.

    It sounds like you all had a wonderful weekend.

    Charming photograph, I could imagine how busy the campground has been. Our parks have been extremely busy in NJ as well.

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...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...

New shampoo for a new year!

Happy New Year from BearCountry! We are in the middle of a cold snap where the temps spend more time below zero than above. That means hats and gloves every.single.time we walk out the door for even the shortest trip. Thankfully we’ve been able to avoid catching any of the lice that has been making the rounds in our school district because keeping up with regular laundry is hard enough - let alone washing outerwear too!  Research has shown that tea tree oil repels lice and so we’ve been using a tea tree oil shampoo from Maple Holostics  this winter to give us every advantage against those annoying buggers!  Our family has fine hair so we have to be careful to use hair products that don’t weigh our hair down with build up. It is important to us that products we put on our skin are safe and not full of chemicals or sulfates. That is why when Maple Holostics contacted me about reviewing one of their products I didn’t hesitate to volunteer. I didn’t tell anyone in our family...
