Hindenburg Disaster, Avon by the Sea and Apple Picking?

Visiting the Hindenburg crash site

What does the Hindenburg, the beach and apple picking have in common? It is how we spent our weekend! If you follow me on Instagram then you already knew the answer and if you don't...well why not?? My mom flew in from California on Thursday evening for a two week visit. It is perfect timing because we are trying to explore this new place we live in so she gets to come along for the ride.

Hindenburg Hanger

Hubby, mom and I went to visit the Hindenburg site at Lakehurst on Friday while the kids were in school. There was a nice memorial on the ground, nothing fancy. It was pretty cool being on the site and seeing the gigantic hanger where the Hindenburg as created and housed.

 Hindenburg Disaster 1937

Saturday was hot and humid so we made a run down to Avon by the Sea. It was our first time there and it is a beautiful beach and boardwalk. We didn't spend a lot of time because quickly we noticed a huge storm coming over the beach. 

Thanks to all the rain on Saturday the temperature was much cooler for Sunday. So we headed out to the local orchard to pick peaches and apples. It has been a few years since we picked our own fruits and it is always a fun family day. The peaches were the size of soft balls and the Honeycrisp apples are divine! The family has requested I make the take and carry apple pies I blogged about HERE back in 2011.

So far it looks like New Jersey is going to be a fun duty station for us. Lots of things to do, very close to the ocean and the local produce is everywhere. 

Congratulations MGySgt Now It is Time To PCS - USMC - E9

Once again our family has had many changes happen over the past few months. The biggest of the year is that hubby pinned on Master Gunnery Sergeant earlier this month! I am so proud of him. Almost 24 years in the United States Marine Corps what a wonderful way for him to end his career. The man is old school Marine Corps. Works hard, always watches out for the welfare of his Marines and will do anything to help them succeed in their own careers.

His Unit held a great ceremony for him on drill weekend and his LtCol flew in from CA so he could be the one to pin him.

LtCol did some research and found that 0.4% of Marines actually make it to the rank of E9 and even fewer actually go the route of MGySgt. Wow!

The girls did a great job video recording the whole ceremony....

Hubby giving one of his "unique" motivation speeches..."as your carrier progress through this Wyoming Valley of the shadow of the death, have no fear, for you occupy this valley and the shadow is yours. OORAH"

Two weeks after this day the true chaos started. The packers came to our house, the movers followed behind and we PCS'd from our home of three years in PA to a new home and duty station in NJ!! That's right we are already gone. We are on day 3 in our new home and it is starting to settle down. I still have a lot to organize and the girls start their new school next week. This will be our final adventure as hubby is at the top of his career. Two short years and we will be moving once again but it will be to our forever home. Can't wait!

Mommys Bliss Kids Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief {Review}

One of the worst mommy problems I deal with are tummy issues. When your child comes to you saying they are nauseous or that their tummy hurts sometimes you feel helpless. It's not a cut or scrape you can see and easily make better with a band-aid and a kiss. You start asking the questions..."what did you eat last?", "where exactly does it hurt?", "did you poop today?". In my house helpful answers to this situation are rare and usually ends in the shoulder shrug and "I don't know". As a parent I feel awful when this situation arises, that was until I was introduced to Mommys Bliss Kids Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief.

Mommy Bliss also is the maker of the #1 selling product Gripe Water. Always naturally sugar free, no alcohol, harsh chemicals or parabens. No artificial flavors or colors and no dairy, gluten or soy. As a mom who believes in eating clean and buying organic it is nice to know if you have to use a OTC product there are companies out there like Mommys Bliss. 

Just the other day my youngest came to me saying she was nauseous and her tummy hurt. Is it sad that I was a little excited for her discomfort because then I could have her try the Mommys Bliss Kids? If this worked, it would be a god send for my family. So I took one of the single dose packets out of the box, ripped off the top and let her drink it right out of the package. Literally within less than 15 minutes she was feeling so much better, hooray!

Mommys Bliss Kids Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief is a natural herbal supplement used to help ease the occasional stomach discomfort associated with nausea, motion sickness, indigestion and gas. Made with natural ingredients including organic ginger, fennel, dill and peppermint extracts and is 100% vegetarian & vegan.

Mommys Bliss is a family owned company and was founded by a mom of three who is also a registered nurse, lactation consultant and midwife. Her dedication to her family and their health inspired her to create products that are safe, effective and affordable.

I can honestly say Mommys Bliss Kids Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief will forever be a staple in our home not only for my girls but I can use it too! With my gastric ulcer and IBS issues, I could surely use a more natural solution and hopefully cut down on the prescription meds I take.
