It's that simple

I'm taking part in the Simple Woman's Daybook today thanks to the inspiration of my friend Jenilee.

FOR TODAY
Outside my window... it's 36 and cloudy. It must have rained during the night because the driveway is wet.
I am thinking...about how to balance work and home
I am thankful for...PapaBear's ability to play for hours and hours with the kids
From the kitchen...Sam is on his way in there to get a rice cake for a snack
I am wearing...a 10 year old Abercrombie & Fitch sweatshirt & Eddie Bauer pajama pants that PapaBear gave me the first Christmas we were married
I am creating...a 440 page blog book for a widow and her three boys
I am going...somewhere....maybe. Tuesday is a work day for me, but sometimes I work from home and other times I go to the coffee shop. It depends on how needy the kids are.
I am reading...Dawn's Prelude by Tracie Pederson
I am hoping...for pleasant weather this Spring. We only get a few weeks off between renting skis and the camping season. If the weather is poor, that time seems even shorter.
I am hearing...the crunch of Sam's rice cake
Around the house...are scraps of paper, Tuperwear stencils, and cut out boats & helicoptors
One of my favorite things...the feeling of contentment that I started my day with yoga and Bible Study
A few plans for the rest of the week: Finish two books, photograph a six month old, study up on Maple Syruping for our Maple Syrup event on Saturday.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

    I used to participate in this little meme. I should again someday. It's fun to get these little snapshots into your day!

    ...anytime I hear "maple syruping" I think of Little House in the Big Woods...:)

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...
