I used to load my kids up with camps every week and wondered if I should let them have more free time. Then they would get crazy bored during a free time week and just watch the telly all the time. Though they've become better about tempering that with wandering around outside and playing basketball. Camping is the best vacation for kids, they love it so much. But we find it so much work. I always wish I was a kid again and have my parents do all the work, they loved camping!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-85719178898093731362011-06-13T12:42:10.053-07:002011-06-13T12:42:10.053-07:00You are the best!

And I am the dorky mom who has yet to succumb to Wii but man is it ever hard. So all that means I have to work extra hard to keep my little ones busy and some days are better than others (namely the ones where I'm not so bogged down with chores). I would so love it if you would share some of your crock pot recipes. It has been a while since I've used my crock pot and I love your idea of cooking in the morning to get it over with. <br /><br />My daughter's birthday is coming up and she is only three so her only request is that I do Dora so that will be fairly easy. But my five-year-old reels off a long list of boys he wants to invite to his party just a month later! <br /><br />I love No. 4. I think that's the key to a perfect summer!Minniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00152305422037094598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-38597987159966832472011-06-13T10:08:58.845-07:002011-06-13T10:08:58.845-07:00Popsicles and iced coffee are my kind of goals :)Popsicles and iced coffee are my kind of goals :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-72732606118991385122011-06-13T10:04:58.491-07:002011-06-13T10:04:58.491-07:00What a great list!

Last summer, I had just started the blog, and I spent way too much time on the computer- trying to figure the whole 'blog thing' out. This summer- with FB added to the list, + twitter, + many, many more sites on my feed...

It's fun but I don't love all the time I spend checking my fun and tuning out of the day. Our tv broke on Friday morning and I nearly cried. But now I'm realizing how quiet my neighborhood is in the mornings and that little birds are chirping everywhere and that Emerson has all kinds of crazy things to say when she first wakes up. It's been such a gift. So I'll share that first vow with you.Estelle Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404807147588274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-70612263661952310352011-06-13T08:37:40.274-07:002011-06-13T08:37:40.274-07:00did i ever tell you why i initially visited your b...did i ever tell you why i initially visited your blog? you mentioned disneyland corn dogs in a comment on joslyn's blog. i knew we'd be fast friends after that. =) i don't generally eat corn dogs, or any kind of "dogs" for that matter, but i will tell you that i will NOT miss my corn dog at disneyland. ever.<br /><br />just a little off topic, but your mention of a disneyland trip for hailey's bday reminded me.<br /><br />hope you are drinking some good coffee right now.stephanie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07639751764220303392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-76101787963356519.post-63508034772519635752011-06-13T07:54:38.682-07:002011-06-13T07:54:38.682-07:00I like a list like that - just enough structure bu...I like a list like that - just enough structure but not too strict!
