S’Mores Supplies at Your Fingertips
We love to camp! But being a single parent I know the struggle of camping solo with littles. It can be a challenge. With one adult, organization is key. You do not want to make a million trips to the car to get what you need. And you can't keep the food out at your campsite or you will attract animals. The Smores Caddy by Sumpri helps with keeping your S'mores supplies ready and at your fingertips. The caddy looks a lot like a tackle box but this box is not made to hold fishing tackle. In ...
Enjoy the Outdoors with Your Pet
We live in a pretty heavily wooded area. That translates to lots and lots of nature, aka wildlife, aka coyotes, hawks, eagles, foxes and more. We also have pets, 2 large dogs and some cats.

When I saw this little ...
Bug Proof Your Next Camping Trip
Have you ever gone camping, sat down to eat and the bugs are swarming around you. They are swarming so much it's nearly unbearable to be at the table. So then you start a fire and hope the smoke gets rid of them but at the same time now your eyes are watering from the smoke. You've gone from swatting at bugs to not being able to see. Not much of an improvement if you ask me. That's why, this year, when we go camping I'll be bringing the RORAIMA bug proof room with me. It's an instant ...
The Most Important Part of Camping
Camping is a great way to take the whole family on a fun holiday.

In between walks and games and relaxation, you will have to plan ...
