The Best Day of the Year

As I was tweeting that today is our 3rd favorite day of the year I started to wonder what other people's top three days of the year are.

First for us is Christmas - singing carols with family and attending late night church to worship Christ....

Second is the last day of the camping season. Yes, we love our jobs, but after 6 months of being pulled away from dinner and working in the office, we are thankful for the day that the last camper pulls out for the year.

The third day is also related to our park job....We close the gate every night and the timing of that depends on a number of factors. Tonight marks the night we can close it at the earliest possible time again. It's been almost 5 months since we could do that.


What are YOUR top three days of the year and why?



****I haven't forgotten about Alphabitty Moments this week - I finally gave up at midnight to get the cover to upload without being so blurry. I'll work on it again during naps.****

    Our favorite is Christmas! We read the Christmas story then have birthday cake for Jesus and sing happy birthday! It's something my family did since I can remember and now we're doing it with our kids. :)

    My second favorite is the first time it snows each year! I'm crazy...I know, but we LOVE the snow!

    Not sure i have a third fave!

    Mine is the first day of Fall! The leaves are beginning to change, the smell of crisp clean air..I break out the apple and cinnamon candles...and start planning for birthdays, holidays, and everything in between.

    2nd-- Thanksgiving...eating and spending time with family....just a wonderful time all around.

    And this year...Christmas might move up to my 1st best day of the year...because both kids will finally understand what is happening.

"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!

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...
