Like so many of our little getaways, this trip needed to be just a couple hours drive so that the weekend wasn’t lost in travel and so that set-up could be in daylight (in our early camping days we would often set-up after dark priming the evening for upset, don’t you know.) I was looking […]
Just a little over a year ago, we were tent camping down in Florida for Christmas vacation. It had rained and stormed just before we arrived and this site opened up for us as well as the flooded one, next to us. We had no neighbors for a week in this highly prized campground. Did […]
Necessity dictates a good table for use by the fire– to hold canapes and drinks– don’t you think? The Casita’s size calls for efficiency and fold-a-bility. This little tray fits just the bill. It’s about 18″x 13.5″ and chair height at around 24″ tall. The tray is removable from the folding wooden stand and all […]
Because so many of our trips are short weekend getaways, I keep my eyes open for places not more than a couple hours drive. Sometimes that means finding a festival in small town and looking for a camping spot and sometimes it means finding a funky tourist spot and then looking for a nest for […]
Into every life a little laundry must fall. Though we try to save up laundry for fancy parks that have a laundry room, more times than not, we find ourselves washing out a thing or two, and just moving on. This little Scrubba bag has a built in washboard and does a surprisingly good job […]
Just a quick note to tell you how pleased we are with our little SinkBoard invention. We had to add some rubber pyramidal shaped feet to keep it from rocking on the metal sink edge, and that has made all the difference. A really great added bonus of the feet was they keep the tray […]
In every life, there needs to be a little luxury. One of my favorite indulgences is fresh Blackberry Sage iced tea. At home, I like to brew it by the big glass in my TeaForte pitcher and mug. Such a lovely thing to sit with a big mug of ice and a little pitcher of […]
A week goes by so quickly. I may have to move to monthly camping trip updates if I ever want to post enough of the other fun ideas that are rattling around in my camping starved brain. Last week, we explored the trip west along I-70 starting in Montgomery City Mo and finishing in Arrow […]
The thing about traveling in such a small camper is one needs to be judicious about what they allow into their space. First it should fill at least one need (preferably at least two) and second it best work harmoniously with the colors, so that everything flows together and not create visual clutter. My decorating […]
Today’s post is a continuation of a series from my Facebook page (Casita Divas), where I explore the many wonderful places to camp and enjoy in my home State, each Monday. Missouri’s beauty lies in all its little river towns and winding quiet places. Today’s park is in just such a little hamlet–a place that […]
