When I was approached by Coleman and NWF to host a camping contest, I was ecstatic! Sarah and I love camping more than anything, love getting the kids out and about in nature and just letting them do whatever they want. Remember how, before all of this technology, we used to go out and enjoy being outside? Whether you played army men in the vacant lot three houses down, or went outside after a good rain and gathered up as many night crawlers as you could fit into your improvised shirt cradle, … [Read more...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boy Scouts of America. All opinions are 100% mine. Tonight Jason and Tater are off at a Boy Scouts of America meeting; Jason became an assistant leader tonight and I am so thrilled! This is Tater's second year in Scouts and Jason grew up in it... as did my grandpa, uncles, dad, father-in-law, etc. and I think they are all somehow better for it. I remember attending meetings with my brother when I was younger and just thinking how … [Read more...]
This past weekend when we went camping we decided to try some new dinners and desserts using our Dutch oven because we never use it but we know how great it can be! I will start out by saying that you should get some liners for it at your local sporting goods store, without them cleaning the oven out can be awful! They are fairly cheap and make clean up easy. We ended up having to get the parchment ones because we couldn’t find the foil ones but they worked out just … [Read more...]
{Camping Fanatic} Growing up I loved camping; I loved everything that had anything to do with camping! For a while in my teens I forgot about the outdoors and how lovely it is out there, it fell to the wayside because my friends and boyfriends were more important.
