It’s July, which means we’re in the middle of summer. In humid, hot Oklahoma. Every time I step outside, I’m mentally transported to a list of escapes I so desperately want to take. Alaska, for example. Or even better, Antarctica. As you know, we love to camp and our beloved Scamp has become a home […]

A look inside our happy campers’ birthday celebration
Both of my boys are June babies. That makes it easy to throw a combined birthday party and, for as long as they’ll let me, that’s what I plan to do! As you know, I love to throw a party. Give me a theme, and I’ll have the time of my life. For example, our […]
