February Journal

It's time to dump another month of phone pics into a blog post for later use in my 2013 blog book. (Click here for a more detailed explanation of what this entails.) What it boils down to is this: I have finally figured out a way to document daily life without getting behind or leaving huge gaps in the memories we record here.

February was a blur so I'm very glad I have a short journal entry in my planner for each of the 28 days. I also kept up with my New Year's Goals with the exception of 1 day of working out and 1 day of picking up the main living areas. It is safe to say that these new routines are a habit now and for that I am very grateful!

Now to set free  50+ cell phone pictures before they get buried and lost forever....
Other than the cropping and filters from Instagram they are straight out of the camera. I will use a grid layout in Booksmart like the 1st spread in this post to make the entire collection uniform. It will also give me a quick and easy way to crop the photos that didn't make the Instagram cut.


















































































































It has been so fun to look back at all the things we've experienced each month even if the quality of the photos isn't perfect. Considering it is winter in BearCountry we have managed to keep ourselves plenty busy. Before we know it we'll be swimming in the lake!

    I love the picture of the feet with all the dolls. It's such a great perspective!

    Love the one with Elsa peeking out of the shopping cart. And the one with the baby feet. Great work, friend!

"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...
