It is a bitter sweet moment for this mom. On one hand, I feel like this summer was way too short. On another, I know they need school. BUT - would two more weeks at home really make a difference? Eh, we will never know. But what we do know is how to have fun. [...]
Camping is one of those things that you either love or hate. And if you fall into the latter category [like me], there is a chance that just the thought of spending a single night - let alone a week or more - in a tent, puts you into a cold sweat. Source Often, this [...]
We have always been beach/ pool kind of people and technically, we still are. But this year we wanted to add a few more road trips to our adventure list. Mainly because we want to get the kids used to longer car rides so we can eventually drive down to Florida! EVENTUALLY. So in the [...]
