We made a new friend on our final-days-of-summer camping trip in the “smoky mountains.” (Idaho has been plagued with wildfires these past few weeks.)

Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Meg,
I am so happy that you and the girls had a such a good time! YES! I remember Hot Lava! Ahh….the games we play- so simple and silly yet so FUN! I have my glamping tent set up in the back yard, and my DD and I have managed 2 sleepouts out there in the past week. I am lovin Fall glampin! Makes me wish even more that I had a wall tent with a woodstove, so I could glamp all winter! (of course some of my friends and family think I’ve lost my mind!)
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Laurie
Sounds great! I love camping in the fall. The smells are awesome; leaves turning are beautiful; and fishing is chilly but relaxing!!!
What a great weekend everyone had! I never heard about the game hot lava before but it sounds like fun and most likely challenging. It is always good to get out into nature and enjoy all there is. After being away from the city and routine, we can reflect on just how precious Mother Nature is and it allows us to remember to be considerate of her in our daily lives.
I can smell the smoke in the air Meg…and I can see the stars in that big western sky too! Oh how I miss the wide open west.. Cherish those momma moments now, ya hear?
Hugs,
Your beach sister!
