iHomeschool Network and I bring you five days of great tips. Mine? Well, mine are camping tips and I think your going to love them.
Before we begin, I must confess, that I’m not a huge outdoorsy kind of girl. I mean, I love the outdoors don’t get me wrong; it’s just camping is a whole other world. We’re talking bug spray, hiking shoes, sweat, and outhouses, to name just a few.
I love perfume, I prefere to not sweat, like clean beautiful restrooms, and quite frankly need a curling iron. But I knew that this was going to be apart of my life, at least for a little while, my husband is an avid outdoorsman, Cabela’s kind of guy. Not to mention, after our first tent camping trip, my children were hooked! They were having such a great time discovering the outdoors with their Dad, traveling to different camping spots, and making memories, that I didn’t want to take that away from them.
I needed a plan.
I wanted to create a plan that was going to keep me organized, everyone happy, and create memories.
My family and I have been camping for years and have now upgraded to a camper (thank heavens) but whether you are thinking about camping, camp in a tent, camper or RV…I know you’ll find these tips useful.

We're going to be camping next month. Can anyone give me tips on things you would normally forget to pack so I'm well prepared. There's going to be water parks, and rides, plus the traditional camping stuff like fishing. We're going to be staying in tents, not a cabin or RV so we won't be needing any kitchen stuff I don't think. Any ideas would be great, thanks!
