    You can’t know how much camping will impact your kids’ lives and create memories. To this day, my kids remember our camping days when they were little. As I write this, my oldest son is ice climbing the French Alps, and I believe his childhood camping and boyscout experiences laid that foundation. I solo camp now that I’m retired, and I know my girlscout days instilled the yearning for the outdoors. You’re the best mommy! Hope your campout stayed dry! Nothing worse than rainy campout.

    Just a suggestion for when you are storing stuff later. When u come back from camping don’t leave batteries in headlamps remove and keep in baggie with them in case they were to corrode. That way they won’t mess up the headlamps

I can't tell you how much I cry watching your videos.....don't EVER doubt that you are the best mom ever! So many kids & they all have Mom time, you are so calming when you teach them, & the gardening....let them start young & if a couple plants don't make it, so what??? They're learning! Look at them & your garden & house being arranged & becoming a home...you did all that!! Be proud of you. I know God guides you but you got this, young lady!! Love to all!!❤

    Oh that is going to be such fun. As a single mom I went camping regularly with my kids. I remember the first time, we went to the coast and I warned them to wipe the sand off their feet and not bring it into the tent or their sleeping bags. Well, what does mom know and after sleeping in sandy sleeping bags the first night, I did not have to warn them again lol. Have fun and as we are a swimming family, I found that any camping ground with some sort of swimming place, would keep my kids busy for hours

    🥦Look at that spring broccoli harvest!!! Your "broccoli bouquet" was beautiful, as well as the "broccoli line" ! Well done on the tent, Grace! I know adults who wouldn't tackle that. Kudos! Oh, regarding the broccoli, if the leaves are bitter yet, they can be eaten as well. Can braise in a skillet with seasonings or cooked like old-fashioned greens. You can gather and freeze them if need to since going camping! And well done, Bri, on prepping for the camping trip....don't you wish things stayed so clean and tidy coming home, too!? Are the unidentified plants impatiens?

    One dinner was ice cream. We'd go-to the store. Quickly, they picked out 1/2 gallon of ice creams. Back to çamp to SHARE our treats. Night time we made fires and cooked dinner. They still talk about it 30 yrs later. L. O. L. CAMPING is fun. ENJOY your first time,. YOU'LL LOVE IT🍉🌽🍅🧅🧄🌽🍉🍓🍓🥬🥒🥑🥦🥦👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🛐

Your bravery is rubbing off on your kids, it’s inspiring that Grace wasn’t intimidated by setting up that tent basically by herself, she’s cool too. The broccoli is amazing! I have some growing and I hope it forms heads. Thanks for keeping on keeping on for you, your kids and also for us. We love you!

    One thing I’ve found with the led lanterns I gave is I’ve been really happy with how long the batteries last. I’ve a couple that I keep for use when power goes out. I’ve been known to leave on all night a few times and have not put new batteries in yet. Less use so much battery life. I didn’t pay a lot for mine though I did get them on clearance at the time but really happy with them

    Awww camping is my favorite thing to do all summer, making sweet memories is what it’s all about! Shew I can’t imagine all the tents strings all spread out with your babies but I’m sure you have a plan. Lol. I think the more you go, the better you get of what ya need and what ya don’t. I used to take 3 different tents and zip them together, cause I always had to have all of us under the same liner 😂. it’s awesome if you can figure out how to do it. I hope y’all had a blast! I can’t wait to hear all about it! God Bless sweet family ❤❤❤

    🇦🇺We would go camping a lot. We were foster parents as well. Our plate picnic set was for 16.
    I had bags with a list of what would be in each of them. Pot/ frying pan bag, utensil and serving plate bag, tent extras bag, games bag.
    We had an 8 man tent and 3 x 5 man tents, tarps for shade. Bikes, pool table, yes pool table for the teenagers. We would sometimes go for a week or more during the holidays. We would take two vans.

      Bring some blankets for the ground when you camp and then put your blowup beds on top of them just for a little protection so they don’t get punctured so easily if everybody had a blanket that folded in half it would be a little padding against whatever’s on the ground

    Camping, glamping, gracious outdoor living - gear is so much fun to collect!.I have a Hello Kitty! lantern that I bought at a dollar store long ago, still works, has a handle and hangs perfecting on a shower curtain clasp from anywhere, with enough light to read by or prep a meal. Such fun! Your whole shopping-eye changes when you go to thrift sotres and garage sales, everything becomes functional.

    As a single mom of 3 sons that took them camping alot. Some of my tips
    I keep all the camping things together. In a place in the basement.
    I made a list of things we needed
    The boys would help me go over the list.
    Each boy got their old (last years school backpack) that was all they could bring what would go in it. They had a homemade bag with sleeping bag and pillow in it
    Their bags went by their feet or with them in the car. Each boy had to keep up with their belongings.
    I had a list of questions to ask before we pull out. ( do you have ?????)
    Made a list were everything goes in your car. Every little thing you can think of.
    I would make a list of every meal and food we are going to have with us.
    Mac n chesse with cut up hot dogs
    Ranch Beans canned beans and canned ground deer. Was a meal that I could keep with us that things would be put in along before.
