6 Tips for Hiking with Kids
There’s nothing better on a crisp Fall day than hiking through the woods, hearing the kids chattering like squirrels while their feet are crunching through leaves.

Shade Tents in a Flash
This weekend, my daughter had a friend over. They were having a great time but were ready for a new adventure. They had already had a gypsy fairy tea party and played nerf wars with the big brothers. Now it was time for something really new.
I brought out our shade tent that I got earlier this summer. In less than a minute, we had a tent set up, with the floor in place and the girls horse barn and toys all ready for a fun afternoon.
