family camping

This week we talk about how much or how little we should try to control various aspects of our kids' lives. It can be tough! We want to protect and guide them but we also want to help them become confident and independent as they make their own decisions. Join us as we discuss our parents' approach to control in our family growing up examine the approach we each take in our mothering. Do you lean more towards helicopter or lawnmower parenting? Or do you tend to be more permissive? What tips do you have for striking the balance? Hop onto Instagram and let us know your thoughts!

RVing with kids can be a daunting challenge - they tend to get bored easily and are always looking for something new to challenge their minds. We recently camped with Kimberly Crossland who impressed all the parents with her unique tips for keeping the younger travelers engaged and informed. Kimberly shares tips for how camping with kids can absolutely be StressLess Camping!

We also have some announcements about Tony’s daily RV reviews along with a significant departure from Lance in their new Enduro. 

And, we talk about drunken chicken legs. 

Notes, comments, links and more can be found on our home on the web here. 

The StressLess Camping RV podcast is a great resource for anyone wanting to make the most of the RV adventure and RV lifestyle.

Today we discuss the summers we spent building a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. We laugh about the living conditions and the creative cooking as well as discussing how being pushed outside our comfort zones taught us important lessons and how doing something a little bit crazy created amazing memories and connections. What can you do to bring some discomfort and out-of-the box experiences into your family life?
