Meet The Bear Family

Welcome to BearCountry! I'm the MamaBear of the family. I used to spend my days as a stay at home mom, but God is using the talents he bestowed on me to provide for our family during these hard economic times. I design blog books and photograph families, seniors, and weddings. These two jobs keep me busy 30-40 hours a week, but that's not all that's going on around here. PapaBear and I are the caretakers of BearCountry (in exchange for our housing) and that means we are on duty 24/7. Those three jobs put food on the table, but my most important job is Mom to the cutest cubs around.

How do I juggle all these responsibilities? To be honest, most days I drop at least one ball. Thankfully His mercies are new every morning and I have a wonderful, supportive, and understanding husband.
I've given up trying to live a balanced life - instead I'm striving to live a {Christ} centered life.



PapaBear is the reason food makes it to the table - he cooks he cleans and best of all - he's an amazing father. We've been married 8 years now. If you like to read love stories - here's ours.
















SisterBear is our three year old cub who loves stuffed animals, dinosaurs, almond milk, fruits and veggies, and playing zoo with Daddy. She gives the best hugs!
















Have you ever seen such dark blue eyes? Oh how I love my sweet BrotherBear! His growl sounds more like a dinosaur roar these days. He prefers velociraptors and their 'funky' claws but will rattle off the names of 20 others if you ask him. When he's not coloring, he's looking at books or snuggling up on the couch to watch a movie.

    Thanks for the introduction. It must be amazing living on a campground (that is what I gather from your posts) I kinda know how that is...I grew up in a Motel. My dad owned and ran it. Definitely quite the experience.

    I love the new layout

    Thanx for the primer on gardening with/in straw bales. Never heard of such a thing. Great way for senior citizens to get raised beds!! I work with the elderly and disabled daily, and many want a way to grow their own, but can't get down to the ground level for traditional gardening.

"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...
