July 15, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

I'm the Queen of the Never Ending To Do List. It's an awful lot to fit on a beauty pageant sash. I asked my son about his to do list for the summer and the results were entertaining: 1. Play Minecraft This habit forming technological gem is creative. You use blocks to build houses and other … [Read more...]

June 4, 2015 by Sonya Leave a Comment

Summer vacation plans are well underway and for some of us, we wouldn't mind escaping the city. I admit that I'm pretty much a city girl but hubby and the kids also love the openness of the big outdoors. "The Big Adventure" as we call it takes a lot of planning and organizing because once you're out … [Read more...]

Glamping, Camping and a Contest!

July 11, 2013 by Sonya 313 Comments

What did you say? Camping? I had no interest AT ALL until a friend of mine said "you're so fricken' high maintenance, but I bet you would LOVE  Glamping." Hmmm....It's a possibility. I must admit that I've been thinking about it. I just need to find the time and figure out where to do this (if … [Read more...]

I’ll Tell You Why

Lifelong memories. Or...Screaming toddler refusing to sleep in the tent, punting all other family members in the guts while thrashing through a tantrum at 3 am.

A Camping Trip Ruined

July 29, 2010 by shawnd
