    Keeping food cold while camping?

    This was my daughter before the boys came along with all their allergies, so I'm not judging lol maybe a little jealous since I have to cook every single meal at home... Or while camping as it were. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Keeping food cold while camping?

    My best guess is a lot of people probably don't need a super expensive cooler. When my uncle went camping with us, I didn't see him cook a single thing in 3 days. His kids just eat a bunch of McDonald's and candy bars anyway. I cooked enough for all of us but his daughter was looking at it and...

    Keeping food cold while camping?

    We've been looking into a Yeti. Hubs coworkers says they're good. I've also started looking into the minifridge deal, too. Lol it sucks... I remember eating "astronaut ice cream" on trips when I was a kid. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    My youngest is obsessed and watching/dancing to the wiggles is one of the very few things that entertains him to the point where he won't scratch his eczema bloody. (If his hands are available to him.) Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Wearing shorts or pants?

    My motto is "home is where the pants aren't" lol. I must've been a nudist or something in a previous life (ha) because I hate wearing clothes in general. I do like my bamboo yoga pants and a pair of scrub pants... I can't wait until we get our forever home in the middle of nowhere because...

    It would depend on if my husband gets forced overtime or not. Yeah there are 3 new ones and Anthony. One of them, Simon, played the Phantom in phantom of the opera... Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Wearing shorts or pants?

    It depends... Normally my irritation over insects is less than my irritation over wearing pants. It depends on how bad it is. I would bring both if I had the space to pack them. I end up reusing pants/shorts if they're not too dirty anyway. Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    What are your Top 5 things you always do when you go camping?

    Aside from setting up, we always make a campfire. Can't do smores anymore, but I'm working on that. Just need to find a graham cracker substitute... Since I found a safe marshmallow recipe. Yes, I'm that hardcore that I will make everything at home except the chocolate bars so we can enjoy...

    Cook food or eat cold meals?

    I don't really have too much of a choice since my kids are allergic to life. The only thing cold we can really get away with is a lettuce wrap with lunch meat... Otherwise there would be even more serious nutritional gaps lol. We do bring a lot of fruit though because my kids eat non-stop...

    We're planning to go to a Wiggles concert in DC and I was wondering what are the best campgrounds in that area? Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Online stores that have "swimming shoes"?

    Hubs and I wear Vibram Five Fingers. I have 2 pairs because when I get one pair muddy or sandy, I have a backup until I can clean them (both are black, for the record lol) since they're also my everyday shoes. I'm assuming you mean for your family. Amazon is pretty much king here. My kids...

    Eyes swelling since last trip

    I tried it and it seemed to help... We'll see how it goes over a few days. With my son I've noticed a kind of desensitization with antihistamines where they stop working after continued use for a period of time. Hopefully I get my issues figured out because, if it is an allergy, it's...

    Eyes swelling since last trip

    I think I'm going to try claritin. It was in my prescriptions, but the pharmacy said uhh that's OTC. I've kind of lost some faith in doctors over the way my boys were treated. Especially my littlest with the topical steroids and the drs leaving out important details like how to avoid...

    Eyes swelling since last trip

    Thanks. I needed some outside opinions because everyone thinks I'm crazy to suspect allergies. Dust has been bothering me lately. I was just cleaning out the laundry room today and even with a mask, I was sneezing and sniffling. I only find it odd my children seem unaffected... Especially my...

    Eyes swelling since last trip

    I noticed on our last trip that I kept waking up with swollen eyes. Not much in the way of other symptoms, except I had been experiencing vertigo on and off before so I don't think that was related. My husband unpacked the air mattress in the tent before he noticed it was pretty moldy (he...

    That's on my list of places to go. Looks amazing! Have you been to Luray Caverns? Sent from my LGLS996 using Tapatalk

    Would you go camping on a "haunted" forest?

    I'd like to say I would but last thing I need is something attaching lol. I've been having nightmares about possession and, as much as I try to read into the symbolism, it kinda still freaks me out. I'm never the one possessed, though, I'm always the one fighting the entity/entities... Too...

    Educational Camping and Nature Trips

    I feel like hands on learning leads to more passion for self directed learning. I remember having a school project on mantises, but I'd never even seen one. I liked making my mantis out of clay but that was as far as my interest went. At home (or in the yard) we've hatched butterflies...

    Would you buy a kayak, canoe or a boat?

    Well I guess it would depend more on your wants/likes/dislikes. Personally, I love my kayak. I can carry it by myself where boats can't go. I have modified it for fishing, but I can also take my boys for a spin. My daughter (4) paddles her own. My husband has one, too, so we can all go. All...
