Target Gift Card #Giveaway

Summer officially begins June 20.  Picnicking, camping, pool parties and BBQ's!  Every year we take a family vacation.  And it's NEVER to fancy hotel.  Our love is the lake.  Since my hubby and I first met we shared this passion.  Both being brought up by family who enjoyed camping, we knew it was something we wanted to share with our kids.  It's important quality family time.

There is nothing that can quite compare to the serenity of the outdoors.  Don't get me wrong we've done Disneyland and such, but it always feels like it goes so quick there's no time to have special talks or rest.  You have so much else to interact with.  When your camping it's just you and the kids.  It's physical, refreshing and relaxing.  Nothing beats a talk at the end of a couple fishing poles.





Because we began this tradition early we've acquired a few niceties.  And that's what makes it so easy to spend a week gone.  We figured we'd blow what we would spend on a Disneyland vacation on supplies and  little by little we've gotten to where we're at.  Mama needs a real mattress!






To help you out with your summer plans I'm giving away a $20 gift card to Target.  One of my favorite stores!  Let me supply the beer for your BBQ!  Or whatever you need :)
