My family of five enjoys going camping, however, this mama doesn’t want to rough it so I’m sharing my list of things to make camping with a family easier. Camping is a lot of work, so when I can bring items that make camping easier the whole camping experience is more fun. I like electricity and running water at my campsite even though we camp in a tent, plus a working bathroom near the campsite. We pick a campsite close to the park as well so it’s easy to buzz over with the kids or send them ... Continue Reading...
Family Camping Checklist
Camping as a Family My family goes camping every summer and it is an enjoyable family activity, but we don't travel far. My husband and I take our boys camping, but we usually camp very close to home. I mean really close to home, like only a couple of miles from our house. We love camping close to home because it feels like we went somewhere far away, but we didn't have to make a long drive to get there. Plus we can bring our dogs home when we want to take the boys out tubing or go out on the ... Continue Reading...

DIY Pool Noodle Goggle Holder Float
Tired of dropping goggles and losing them on the bottom of a pool or lake? Try out my idea for DIY Pool Noodle Goggle Holder Floats. They are so easy and quick to make. We are pool owners and we love it! However, we frequently have a problem with goggles. The kids will take off their goggles in the pool and let go which causes the goggles sink to the bottom.

In March, the flowers were blooming and the gardens and fruit trees were ... Continue Reading...

Kids Make Your Own Fairy Tale
Post Foreward By Julie Hoag This post contains a free make your own fairy tale activity for kids. I love stories. Stories always fascinated me as a child and often my sister would beg me to stop reading my book to play a game with her.
