I'm off for the weekend with my family for our first backpacking trip of the season. Now that I've tasted camping for real - in the woods, no cars and no running water (except the stream) I don't know that I want to go back to campground camping. We're re-visiting Gentian Pond to get us back into the groove. Now, that's what I call sweet.
You might enjoy some of this sweet stuff while I'm off peeing in the woods and snuggled in my sleeping bag.
Enjoy your weekend. Hope you all have a sweet one with your family & friends.
Wow, thanks for linking to me today! I loved that article about grubby children -- I was one myself. Grubby kids have more fun.
Could of linked to more at your blog Christine. I've enjoyed a lot of your posts recently.
Happy Earth Day! So many intriguing things to read! Thank you! Have fun in the woods.
Many are new to me, thanks for more blog fodder fun! Missed seeing your comments around my place, but I know time is limited. Have fun camping. We used to do a lot of that type of camping. We are easing back into camping with young kids a little less hardcore! Nicola
Looking forward to reading all the links. Enjoy your camping. We are finally going hiking tomorrow.
Have a great hike!
Off peeing in the woods...tee-hee! Brings back woodsy memories of Wyoming, nature, the need to go, and a very angry moose. Can't talk about it...too funny (: Let's just say I was educated on the protocol of getting business done and quickly (:
Can't wait to peruse the sites you listed...have fun camping (:
Enjoy the Maine woods in spring.....what a fabulous season to be out breathing that fresh air.....your links are great....after a trip away and a visit from my mother-in-law, it was inspiring to read "Changing Lives One Laundry..." for a day full of cleaning and purging ahead of me!....as always, thanks for your input!
I camped in a campground only once, in France, after years of camping "for real" back in my youth, and then I realized how lucky I'd been all along. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for linking to my page Renee! I really did enjoy Come Home to Your Children, and according to my dashboard, you've helped a few others find that book! Enjoy the weekend with your family, as I'm sure you are.
a nice springy list! can you repost the link on get outside day three? the link is a duplicate of naomi's and i'd love to read it :O) hope you had fun camping!
That's really embarrassing...Apologies to Debbie at The Loving Path

All fixed in the code now also.
Oh, Renee. My husband has been trying to convince me that we should put a composting toilet in our new home - since we're ripping out the bathroom and starting from scratch anyway. I've been hoping he's not serious but after hearing you and another intelligent woman say they're great, it kind of softens me to the idea. Afterall, flushing IS wierd.
Don't know about lumping me in with another "intelligent woman" but I would love a composting toilet. It's actually quite mind boggling to think we use clean water to flush away our waste, when we could actually compost it. It's something Damien and I have looked into a bit but can't pursue right now... but given the right conditions (ie: redesigning or building a bathroom) we would seriously look into this option.
I loved the link to "The Great Fear", thank you! Hope you had a wonderful time on the first camping trip of the season!

Hi Renee, Thank you (as always) for the link love. I read one of your posts last night that really got my gears turning, on balancing home and homeschool. Your kids role in that is wonderful. Mine (7 and 3) aren't nearly so participatory in our day-to-day... it gave me so much to think about.
Many blessings, Rachel
