• Spending a day with just the three of us, a short road trip up the mountains to the pass.  It is breathtaking up there, and the old lava flow makes you feel like you're on another planet.  

• Going on quite a few hikes last week, with just Hazel and then again with the three of us on our day off.  Being out in nature always rejuvenates my soul.

 

 

• Going on a play date with some other 'crunchy' mamas that I had only just met.  It was such a good time (I posted a photo on 'this moment' the other day), and it was something I needed, to be surrounded by like-minded women. 
• Being the nurse for a friend of mine's birth.  She is such a strong lady, and it was such a beautiful birth, she was laughing right up until the end!
• Our dogs.  Hazel is cutting her second tooth right now, so needless to say she's been on the sad and fussy side and not her usual happy-all-the-time self.  Our pups never fail to put a smile on her face.

• Have I mentioned Hazel?  Yes, I'm so very thankful for her.  And of course her daddy!
• Slowly but surely trying to eat better.  It's amazing how much better I both physically and mentally when I eat whole foods and protein.
• Bonfires on the back deck, and having Hazel out there with us one night. Summer is finally here!

   Yay for mama friends and hiking :)What wonder things to be thankful for. They are what I fall on to refresh my spirit too :)
   That is such a cute little straw hat, just adorable.
   I couldn't find your e-mail to respond to a comment of yours on my blog but we are only able to make it to the Oregon Country Fair on Sunday this year :( That would be so fun to meet up, are you just going on Friday?
