Snowy Christmas Tree Getting Day

We had such a beautiful snowy day at our tree farm, Mountain Creek!

Snow covered pines are one of my favorite things ever, and especially make Getting Day even more special.

Here's the one!

A soft, fragrant fraiser fir!

Our family by our tree.

Robb is the official tree cutter! I'm so glad that he does this so I don't have to lay on the cold ground.

In our sled, ready to go.

Charley LOVES the tree farm.  He runs around and bounces the whole time.  I think he really remembers it.  He lead us down the path to the fraiser fir patch.

Sliding down the hill back to the barn.

So pretty!!

All bundled up, ready for the ride home.

Here we go!

Bye Mountain Creek, until next year!

No Poo

Made you look!  No, it's not what you thought... ;0)

I'm trying the "no poo" (no shampoo) method of shampooing and conditioning my hair. My scalp is pretty oily, and I'm SICK of washing and drying so much. So now I wash my hair with baking soda and water and condition with cider vinegar and water. This is quite an experiment, designed to trick my scalp into not producing so much oil because of the ph combination of the baking soda and vinegar on my scalp. Supposedly it's supposed to make my scalp think there's already enough sebum and not make more. It's only been a few weeks, but I can say that my hair is clean and now I can go three days without washing, instead of two. It feels strange in the shower, like it's not cleaning, but strangely totally does! It's a small victory, one extra day, but I'll take it and hope it continues to grow. 

NJ - Day 5 - Belmar Beach

Janet had to work, so I headed off to Belmar Beach.  It was hard to top Ocean City, but this was a beautiful day!  Perfect temperature, clear cool water, not a lot of people.  I could've stayed all day!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my little beach break, and spending time with Janet.  I'm already thinking of next year!  :o)
