🌲✨ Monday Reset, the Scenic Way ✨🌲

Not every Monday has to start with chaos and coffee jitters. Sometimes the best way to reset is to unplug and go outside.

Take a walk in the woods. Breathe in that fresh pine air. Touch some dirt (yes, really).

🪵 This week, let nature be your to-do list:
☑️ Watch a sunrise
☑️ Skip some rocks
☑️ Make s’mores just because

Here’s your reminder that the best kind of productivity is peace. 💚

Well, not every camping trip can be the perfect camping trip. We have been here since Wednesday, and we’re suppose to check out tomorrow.

However, we’ll be packing up this morning and heading back. Adalynn has been in the camper since Thursday, sick. She has been coughing since before that. Zoey is having ear troubles and also coughing.

The weather is not cooperating and it’s too cold for the other two to enjoy themselves without the fear of them also getting sick. Especially with Leigha’s recent spike in health. We are at 29 degrees this morning with a real feel of 24 degrees.

So with it in our best interest we are going to pack up this morning and head home for rest. Mom and Dad are exhausted with being up nearly every hour with Adalynn.

While not the perfect trip we have throughly enjoyed our time together and away these last few days.

🦃🍂 Thanksgiving Camping Adventure: Stocking the Fridge Like a Pro! 🍂🦃

This year, we’re doing Thanksgiving a little differently—outdoors! 🏕️ As we gear up for an unforgettable camping trip, our fridge (and cooler) needs to be prepped for a feast-worthy adventure. Here’s how we’re tackling the grocery haul for this special occasion:

1️⃣ Plan Ahead for the Feast

We’ve mapped out a Thanksgiving menu that blends tradition with campfire creativity. Think Crockpot Ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and maybe even a pumpkin pie hack!

2️⃣ Prioritize Fridge Space

With limited cooler and fridge space, we’re focusing on essentials:
• Ham: Because we are ham folks mmkay.
• Veggies: uou could Pre-chop and store these in reusable containers or bags.
• Dairy: Butter, cream, and cheese (for mashed potatoes and stuffing).
• Drinks: A mix of water, festive drinks, and coffee creamers.

3️⃣ Smart Packing Tips

• Prep Ingredients at Home: This saves time and space. (Pre-chopped onions, garlic, and even pre-mixed spice blends!)
• Use Stackable Containers: They fit neatly into the fridge or cooler and prevent leaks.
• Freeze What You Can: Frozen gravy or broth doubles as an ice pack!

4️⃣ Don’t Forget the Everyday Staples

Camping classics like eggs, bacon, pancake mix, and s’mores essentials are still a must. Plus, snacks to keep everyone happy while the feast comes together.

5️⃣ Extras for the Celebration Vibes

Adding a few extra touches to make the holiday special:
• Festive tablecloth
• String lights for cozy ambiance
• A pre-made pie or easy campfire dessert
