Campin' Out

This post comes a little late but over the 4th of July we packed up and joined our Sunday school class for a weekend camping trip. It's a hands down favorite vacation time for our kids. They love playing with their friends all day long and being in the woods! Now some of you might say we aren't really "camping" with our home away from home but it sure makes camping more comfortable and cleaner (big winning factor for me)

The kids literally rode their bikes from sun up till sun down.


Our camper sat right at the top of a hill and they loved speeding down it and pushing the bikes back up.

Breanne, however, needed to be "better" then the boys and carry her bike up instead of push to obviously prove she's a big girl.

If the kids weren't biking they were climbing trees.............

..............Or boating

Breanne thought she was too good for a life jacket so she had to sit on the dock all afternoon.
Every evening of camping needs to be wrapped up will a little burnt marshmellow on a stick!! My own personal, sticky favorite!

I'm In Love With A Singer

A Singer sewing machine that is. This machine is soooo much fun. It's, by far, my favorite past time right now. (Next to watching my kids race around the driveway on their bikes. I love that too!! Takes me back.....)
Anyway, I've been sewing up a storm. Yesturday I made an apron from a tutorial on the internet and it turned out CUTE!! (at least from my point of view.) It was way easy!!
I went to my local amish fabric store and was amazed at the awesome, vintage and retro designs they had. Kudos to those cute old amish ladies. The lady that cut these for me said. Ohhh, pink fabrics...my favorite. That brought a smile to Bre's face (she LOVES pink)

Then I whipped up this little number!

A nice feature....no butt bow!! No butt accentuation. (Although I guess that picture kind puts mine out there doesn't it)

But my all time favorite part of the apron?????

It's REVERSIBLE!!! Do you love it or what!!!!
