My Vacation in Indiana…and a DownEast Basics Clothing GIVEAWAY!

*This giveaway is now closed*

Where did my family vacation this year?  The same as last year!  We went to visit our dear friends the Brookshires! (A.K.A. Robin, Breezy, and Emily Rose…oh, and Rob and Bently, but they don’t have blogs).  I love this family so so so very much.

We had such a wonderful time together, just enjoying each other’s company.  Rob mentored my husband the whole time as Robin mentored me – such wisdom we have gleaned from them!

We had the opportunity to go to the creation museum

My hubs with Rob and two of our babes

Grrrr… (or something like that…) {Wait a minute, creationists believe in dino’s? Whaaa?! ‘Tis true friends, ’tis true}


Titus 2 teaching moment (there were many of these!)

And we also had a party!!!!!!!  Several families traveled to the Brookshires for a day of fun and fellowship!  I got to meet two more wise women, June (from a Wise Woman Builds Her Home) and Rhonda (from Devine Spot)…oh, it was a Raising Homemakers reunion!

Notice the super cute DownEast Basics Keepsake Cardigan I’m wearing? ;) Don’t forget about the giveaway…

Me with June Fuentes (A Wise Woman Builds Her Home) So beautiful and elegant and WISE!

Me soaking in every last bit of June’s wisdom (as my husband talks with her husband Steve)

Me with Robin (Resolved to Be) (soaked up all of her wisdom as well!)

Our families together :)

So, we didn’t go to the beach or some resort.  Nope, we chose to visit with a family that we knew would build us up spiritually and encourage us in our walk with the Lord and with our family. Oh, and they are just plain fun and FABULOUS!  We are so thankful for their friendship, mentorship, and hospitality.  Thank you Brookshires!  Until next year…  :)

Oh, and did I mention a giveaway?  Why yes, yes I did!  Remember that cute shirt I was wearing in the pictures above, the pink one?  Yep, that’s from DownEast Basics, and today you can be entered to win that shirt OR a new arrival of YOUR CHOICE! Cool, eh?

DownEast Basics is all about cuteness mixed with modesty – I love their clothes and wear them ALL THE TIME (and people are always asking me where I got the clothes).  Here’s how this giveaway is going down…
