August.
A month of transition. From summer to school. Here we go...
Forest Home Family Camp. AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!
Click here for more info: Forest Home Family Camp
In a nutshell it was a week of nature, rest, play, adventure, high ropes course time, lake time, hiking, swimming pool, crafts, coffee, picking blackberries, quality time with family/friends, connection with God, speakers for adults, kids programming, child care counselor assigned to each family, 2 fancy adult dinners, 3 yummy meals a day, laughing, making memories, and celebrating Hannah's 3rd birthday!
Oh, and multiple encounters with bears this year! Bonus!
Forest Home runs family camp for 9 weeks each summer. Just pick a week.
Go on your own as a family, or invite other friends/family/church members to go with you.
You will LOVE it! It is vacation time and money well spent.
Did I mention that our child care counselor put our kids to bed for us every night?
Find another vacation with THAT service.
Here is a video of our specific week. Can you find my family members?

Last mellow days of summer. On this day my little ladies requested haircuts and a nail salon - homestyle.
First day of school! 3rd grade, Kindergarten, and Preschool.
I now have 2 GLORIOUS kid-free mornings per week. Aside from the SILENCE, I am enjoying a little me-time for things like reading and training for my next thing (more on that later).
This month ended with a BANG…a girls weekend in Chicago where we celebrated sisterhood in all its forms.
We had time in the (BEST) city…a few hours in Wheaton where we grew up (we even got a full tour of one of our childhood homes)…and some relaxation at my parents home in the country (they were in Europe).
It was a weekend full of laughter and conversation and gratitude. And candy, lots of candy.
