We still got a lot of cold weather ahead of us. Winter is still gonna be kicking our butts and we need to be ready for it.

I love holiday themed crafts that still allow for plenty of individual creative expression. That’s why I’ve been so fond of tin foil crafts this past year. While they all have a common shape and theme, every child creates their own unique pictures and colorful designs on them. The same rings true for this tin foil heart Valentine’s Day craft we are sharing today. It’s just like all of the others we’ve made, shiny, vibrant and colorful, and it’s a fabulous craft for kids (and even adults) of all ages....

Oftentimes, cooking in the outdoors is relegated to freeze-dried food and dehydrated dinners that aren’t very satisfying to the discerning diner. That’s where having a 4×4 rig (like the one featured) for your overlanding travels shines, because you can pack it with a ton of great kitchen gear and quality groceries. Most capable overlanding setups should have plenty of room for car camping cooking gear so whipping up delicious campsite meals is a breeze....

Somehow, the first 4 months of the year have felt like they never ended and also flew by before we could properly take in the seasons. Spring is here and that means the Summer is right around the corner. Which means that we are in the prime season for taking a vacation to someplace tropical. Sure, you can go someplace tropical any time of the year. But there is nothing like going to a beachfront when the sun is as hot as it can be....
