Mother’s Day Camping Trip

There is no doubt when I married my wife, I married up. On this past Mother’s Day when we went camping with our best gear from Survival Cooking, I asked my beautiful 18 week pregnant wife what she wanted for Mother’s Day. I expected the usual: a day to herself at the spa, but instead, she decided she wanted to go camping.

How could I say no?

    Awesome weekend! I’ve been following your blog for a few years now, our kiddos are about the same age as yours. It’s crazy how fast they grow up…
