“Ingrid Liddle Is Kind of Cute: Camping with a One-Year-Old”

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Here’s another first-time-camping experience, one that didn’t go smoothly, to say the least. But it’s these trips that make for great story-fodder later.

“Veater Family: Camping With Kids 101″

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Ashley Veater (the author of a post I featured on the 8th) has a bunch of good ideas in this post, so if you’re new to camping with young children, definitely check this out.

“The Veater Family Adventures: This Week in a Nutshell”

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

“Are we crazy,” this author asks, “to take a 2 year-old and a 4 month-old camping in a tent? Or are we adventurous and tons of fun? What do you think???”

I’d say tons of fun!

“Making of a Family: Baby Goes Camping”

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

I love the author’s tone in this post: “In the days leading up,” he writes, “I could tell Sarah was a little nervous. She’d say thing like ‘I’m a little nervous.’ “This is a fun post describing this family’s camping adventure with an infant, and it’s followed up by the post, How to Camp with an Infant, which is full of common sense advice.

“Mighty Girl: Take Hank Camping, Check”

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Hank, Mighty Girl’s toddler son, wanted one thing out of his camping trip: a ride home. They’ll just have to try again when he’s a little older, and more flexible.

“Try Handmade: Happy Campers Tutorial”

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Sometimes it’s fun to hear the tales of camper’s mortifying moments, and this post includes a doozy, involving teething, but I’ll leave it at that so I don’t spoil it for you. Then the author proceeds to give us her tips and hints for camping happiness, one of which– the dryer sheets– is among my favorites (it really does help).

“Our Twin Monkeys: I Survived Camping with Infant Twins!”

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Wow. That’s almost all I can say, just “Wow.”

Nah, I’ll manage more! It sounds on the surface of things in this post as if it would be no big deal, taking adorable twin girls to a family reunion– who wouldn’t want to grab them and feed, play with, take care of them, right? Unless they would only deal with Mama. Hmmm– the plot thickens. But Mama had some help, from Grandma, and did indeed survive the event.

She also had a really cool contraption of an infant tent called the Pea Pod. Click on the link below from Amazon to read more about it, but it is a life-saver if you take infants camping. (I wish they’d had it when mine was a wee one!) It even has UV-protection in its screening, so it can be used safely where there’s no shade available, like on a beach. I’ve read in one of the camping groups/forums I belong to (can’t remember which one) that it folds up small enough to fit in a backpack, and is light weight, also, but can’t vouch for that personally. Here’s the link for more info:

This is a sweet look at a family’s first camping trip with their baby girl.

“Traveling With Baby Weekend Update: Camping”

Monday, July 27th, 2009

This post chronicles a lovely little family tent camping trip with adorable pictures, and includes a link to healthy camping recipes. And I’m going to try roasting a pineapple– sounds delicious!
