I Finally Love To Go Swimming! |
| 2/4/2010 4:17:07 PM |
After losing a ton of weight over the winter season, I was really ready for it to be summer. I had always wanted to look great and go swimming in a beautiful bathing suit, but I had never felt good enough about myself. Now with my new body and high confidence, I was finally ready to buy a great bathing suit and go swimming with all of my friends.
I found my swimming suit at... Read More |

A New Swim Suit For Water Aerobics Class |
| 2/4/2010 4:08:58 PM |
Last summer, I really wanted to get into shape. I had just had my first child and I had gained much more weight than I thought I would. I was so proud of myself for being persistent on losing weight and I treated myself to a water aerobics class to perpetuate the healthy direction I was going. I even bought myself a new swim suit for class. I was really beginning to feel... Read More |

New Cooler Bags For Going Resort Camping |
| 2/4/2010 3:16:14 PM |
I have never been the type of person who likes to do things based around nature, and luckily neither is my husband. However, we decided that we did want to try camping. We had heard about resort camping and both agreed that it sounded like something that we would enjoy trying. We booked a camping getaway very quickly and began to prepare.
I found some great cooler bags at... Read More |

Our Kids Had Their First Outdoor Camping In The Backyard |
| 2/4/2010 3:08:22 PM |
Last summer, my kids were watching tv and they saw a show about outdoor camping. For the next week they begged their father and I to take them. Right when I thought I was going to lose my mind, my husband came up with a great idea. He told them that we could not take them to the forrest, but they could go outdoor camping on our backyard.
We knew that we had some planning to... Read More |

Camping Cookware For A Healthy Trip |
| 2/4/2010 2:59:44 PM |
My family has always loved to go camping, in fact we go about two to three times every year. I was becoming a little concerned when I realized how poorly we were eating on these trips. I found it very ironic that we were vacationing in such a healthy way, and we were eating so terribly! I only noticed because we went on a joint camping trip with some friends and they... Read More |

It's Almost Time to Begin the Outdoor Camping Festivities |
| 1/20/2010 3:59:01 AM |
| Before we became parents, my husband swore that he would never sleep outside, in a tent or under the stars with his kids. He thought that it would be just too uncomfortable and tasking. Yes, he was pretty adamant about NOT doing any outdoor camping of any sort. Well, we eventually became parents, and...he became the biggest outdoor camping lover that you could have ever...

My experience with camping cookware |
| 12/28/2009 6:55:48 AM |
In my adolescent years, I was in the Boy Scouts. Our troop had planned a trip to Colorado, however just before that, I had to be at a wedding for my cousin Elizabeth in California. Fortunately, the wedding ended just in time for me to catch a plane to meet up with everyone in Colorado.
The rest of the guys had driven up from Phoenix, and met me at the air port. I was... Read More |

Swimming Helped Me Get into Great Shape! |
| 12/27/2009 12:23:59 PM |
Personally, I think swimming is one of the best ways to get into spectacular shape. I realized this several years ago when my sister took a lifeguard training course. My sister was in pretty decent shape when she began this course, but after its completion, I could hardly believe the results! She had been a little flabby and soft in some areas, and her endurance needed... Read More |

Outdoor Resort Camping |
| 11/27/2009 11:46:00 PM |
The landscape was beautiful. The crystal clear spring water beckoned us to come swimming and explore its depths. The hiking trails are well groomed, and offer a wide variety of landscapes and difficulties to choose from. Kids are riding rented skateboards on paved expressways that travel throughout this pristine locale. The shop where you can rent a variety of recreational... Read More |

Swimming in winter |
| 11/27/2009 2:38:49 PM |
I have a friend who bought a second small home in the Phoenix area. Her family lives in the northwest where I used to live. She got a fantastic deal on this fixer-upper, plus it comes with an indoor community pool. The pool was very important to her as she loves swimming and her main exercise is water aerobics. Her year-around community swimming pool here in the Valley is... Read More |

Daughter Loves to Go Swimming |
| 10/16/2009 8:07:05 AM |
My daughter loves to swim! It amazes me how it can be autumn, and because it hasn't cooled down too much on the Gulf Coast, the kids still want to go to the beach. Every weekend for the past month my husband has asked the kids what they wanted to do for fun. Every weekend my daughter replies, "Can we go swimming?"
I love to swim and doing water aerobics, so being... Read More |

Camping Cookware Makes Camping Easier |
| 10/16/2009 7:45:38 AM |
 Having camping cookware can make camping a lot easier. I know a lot of people who bring cast iron pots and pans to cook on because they can withstand the heat of both open fire and camping stoves. Nothing can break them, because they are such heavy-metals pans. Even if a bear got a hold of one, it couldn't do much damage. There are also special camping cookware pans... Read More

My Kids Love Swimming |
| 10/16/2009 7:35:50 AM |
| My kids are starting swimming lessons again. They are both very excited. We did not have them doing swimminglessons during the summer. They had enough things to do this summer. We just did not have the time. But they missed it and could not wait until swim class started up again. We had expected to go to the beach several times during the summer so they could swim. But the... Read More |

Tools for Outdoor Camping Like Waist Packs Pretty Convenient |
| 10/6/2009 9:37:17 AM |
 I bought this waist pack for outdoor camping today. When we are outdoor camping, we do a lot of hiking and I like to bring along some of my personal electronics like my phone, digital camera, and MP3 player, along with some kleenexes and water. I also toss in a comb to remove the errant cactus spine I pick up while hiking on the desert floor.
Outdoor camping is enjoyed by... Read More |

 Doggy Puddling with noodles
It is such a joy to go swimming with children. Children always have the funniest things to say, as they are so innocent in nature.
My step-son had gone over to a friend's house on the other side of town. They were going to spend the afternoon in the swimming pool. It was late in the summer, so the pool water was not heating up as much in the... Read More |

Winter and Outdoor Camping |
| 9/20/2009 9:19:36 PM |
The temperature outside was a balmy 28 degrees. Not exactly the ideal outdoor camping weather, but the hot springs will be perfect. My family and I packed up the camping cookware and headed off for a weekend of water aerobics, swimming and resort camping at a beautiful hot springs in Montana.
The drive was filled with sightings of antelope and moose, along with the... Read More |

Swimming In The Ocean |
| 8/28/2009 8:42:06 PM |
Recently our family was relocated from the mountains of upstate NY to the Gulf Coast shores of Alabama. It was the first time that my children were exposed to the ocean and all of its vast glory.
Our first trip to the beach to go swimming in the ocean was not more than two or three days after we made the move South. The kids love swimming, even though they hadn't fully... Read More |

Outdoor Camping Can't Be Beat on the Rim in AZ |
| 8/28/2009 9:20:31 AM |
 I'm so ready for some outdoor camping this weekend in the tall pines on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona. I'm spending the afternoon getting our camping cookware put together so we can get out the door the minute my husband comes home from work. The weather is extremely hot. Today is supposed to hit 114 F. That is brutal heat, even hotter than what blows out of the furnace in... Read More |

Outdoor Camping Makes Me Feel So Alive! |
| 8/28/2009 3:49:43 AM |
 The best and most vivid memories of my childhood are those of my family and I going outdoor camping. Every morning, Mom would use her camping cookware to whip up a meal fit for kings while we snuggled deep into our sleeping bags to escape the crisp chill in the air. There was just something about the calm and quiet of the forest that melted all my cares away. While Mom... Read More |

Resort Camping Is a Family Thing! |

With the economy at an unprecedented low, people are going back to the basics...and that is especially true where vacations are concerned. This year my family went on an outdoor camping trip in the Georgia mountains. I had forgotten how beautiful it is. We found ourselves spending time at a State Park with a lake and swimming area, fishing, and hiking trails, and... Read More |
