shower time




Do you have an outdoor shower? We don't, but hopefully soon will! Today our contractor came over to give us a bid for creating one... OH I remember the 1st outdoor shower I ever took. It was on Cape Cod working for CBI {Chatham Bars Inn} for the summer. I got asked to visit a friends parents house for the weekend to go on an adventure. They sent me outside to take my shower... I was actually very nervous and a little hesitant. I thought the world was watching me and I was freaked out. Ha Ha... Once I realized no one could see me I was hooked... Truth I actually got asked to get out of the shower because I was in there way too long. It was so liberating... And free feeling. I loved it! Lets just say, I think I will be outside majority of the time taking my showers from now! LOL

playing with rocks


How F U N is this rock painting story telling game... My kids are at the age that they kind of would still like to do this... But kind of not like to. I think their attention span might be cut short by social media or Ryan's rocks would be a little naughty {Ugh}! I think I just might try it and make them play with me. lol If anyone tries this with their kids let me know...
