Labor Day Adventure

September 1st was Labor Day in the United States. Labor Day is usually the day before school starts, so many people like to go outside and enjoy their last day of summer vacation.

I spent my Labor Day in Michigan. Each year on Labor Day, you can walk across the Mackinac Bridge, the 5 mile bridge that connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. This year was the 8th time I've done the bridge walk.


It felt great to to for a long walk with such a beautiful view!


As you can see, a ton of people do this each year!


A large portion of the bridge is a grate like this, so you can look at the water as you walk. It's kind-of cool and also kind-of scary! 




Lots of people dress up or do fun things for the bridge walk. This is by far the coolest I've seen yet!


Here I am at the finish line!



Did any of you do anything fun for Labor Day?

Until next time!

Rainy Days

Image
Good morning, everyone! I woke up this morning to a dreary, rainy day. Wisconsin has been getting a whole lot of these lately (I think the weather knows how badly I want to go to England and is preparing me). While sunny days are so nice and you can actually go outside without getting soaked, rainy days are sometimes the best kinds of days. There are some great things about rainy days, such as... playing in puddles sitting under a soft blanket with a warm mug of hot chocolate and a good book thunderstorms at night getting to wear my cute pink polka dot rain boots getting to wear my matching pink coat using cute umbrellas wearing warm sweaters I really love the rain! What are your favorite things about rainy days? xx Heidi

Life is Better at the Beach REVIEW

Image
Hello again, I'm back with yet another book review! This book published by Thomas Nelson is a great little book about how to live everyday like you're at the beach. When we're at the beach, it is so easy to be relaxed and enjoy every moment. We long to go outside and see the beauty of God's creation. However, it's hard to keep up that attitude after our beach vacation is over. This book is all about how to keep up that beach mentality every day for your own health and positivity. I did enjoy this book. It's a short, quick read, filled with very small bits of text, Bible verses, quotes, and lots and lots of lovely beach photos. I would picture this book on a coffee table in a house on the beach. It would make a great gift, something for you to flip through when you feel a little down, or un-beachy. I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend it, I thought it was so cute! I read this as an ebook but I'll bet the physical copy is really beau...
