Anyone who knows me knows that camping is one of my all time favorite things to do in this world. We used to go camping all the time with good friends of ours every May. We'd meet up at a mutually convenient campground - 45 minutes away for us, 1 hour away for them - and set up camp for a long weekend. We'd usually stay Thursday night thru Sunday morning.

It works out really well! We like to mix up our menu each year so it doesn't get boring. Last year we made chicken kabobs on the fire for dinner and pancakes on the Keep Reading

When my girls were little we used to have lots of summer play dates with sprinklers and bubbles going every which way. In fact, we had a playdate just about every week in the summer with their friends for many years. Those are some of my favorite memories with them.

4 Fun Outdoor Projects to Do with Your Kids This Spring
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Miracle-Gro Gro-ables for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. Winter is almost over thank goodness, and I cannot wait to get outside and in the dirt. It's not that I actually know anything about gardening; I just like to be outside and it feels good the get dirty. I like to shovel it, make mud with it, plant in it, throw it - whatever really! I guess it reminds me of being a kid and running free outdoors all day long, and it brings back such wonderful memories. I love the stuff, and I want my kids to love it too. With all the shiny Keep Reading
