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!

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...
