It's a blog (m)eet blog world

It all started a couple weeks back when I met up with Brittany. Then this past Thursday I met Jennisa, who writes the first blog I ever read that was written by someone I didn't know in real life. Did you follow all that? If not. Here's the gist: I've had the privilege of meeting two of my long time blogging friends who are as sweet, real, & funny in person as they are on their blogs and hang out with my my dear friend MckMama at the same time.

Yesterday I made some new friends at the MckPicnic that also happen to blog. Sure we talked blogging, but it was more about connecting with other moms who share common interests. Jenna and her husband Aaron will be coming out to our campground next month with their adorable daughter Camille. Can't wait!



Sam made a new friend too. Caleb happens to live one block away from our cousin Caleb way on the other side of the metro. Small world! (I'll save the really small world story for when I post the group picture from the brunch)

All the activity wore Julia out so I had her take a nap in the Kozy.

An hour later she was back in action again....



The cool weather didn't stop us from having a blast with our friends, both old and new.

    It was great getting a chance to meet you at the picnic Saturday...and seeing those adorable curls in person! We'll have to check out your campground sometime too, especially considering it's really not that far from home.

    Looks like everyone had a fun time. I am enjoying looking through the photos from the MckPicnic so I can feel like I was there.

    I saw your last post about straw bale gardening and have never heard of it before but am really interested in learning more about it. I am assuming you have more posts about it and am going to search your blog in a moment.

    Also, I will be contacting you about the address card soon. I just may find time to gather my brain. Just maybe. {smile}

    Just visiting your blog from the MckBrunch list!

    I enjoyed looking through your blog. We are a camp enjoying family (we were camping all weekend, in fact) and the idea of actually living at a camp makes me want to jump up and down.

    I will look forward to reading your blog in the future! It was nice to actually SEE people instead of just *meeting* them!

    Hi - I'm a first time visitor to your blog. My husband and I are going to be through Minnesota next month on our way to Rainy Lake in Canada for a week. Where is your campground? We are planning on pulling our travel trailer so we can do some sightseeing after our wee of fishing. Do you have any sites that are a must to visit? We are retired educators from the Panhandle of Texas. Thanks!

"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...
