The Lively Little Campers have met several other kindred RV Travelers through this blog and we always love to hear about their adventures on the open road. So when we found out that John and Cathy, two of our long time readers, were heading to New Zealand for an RV...
We are a couple of semi-retired teachers living in the Philadelphia suburbs. For each of our "big" anniversaries since number 25, we have taken a "big" trip. Ireland and Hawaii were enjoyed as a reward for putting up with each other. This year, for number 40, a really...
I've been noticing something lately. The more I read the blog posts that are liked and shared and tweeted and pinned, the more I am seeing a pattern emerge. There are a lot of moms talking about being moms. Mostly they are talking to other moms. And the message...

As Stephanie mentioned in her last past, our trip to the Edwyn B. Forsythe Wildlife Preserve was a complete bust. Largely because we did not know it was a NATIONAL preserve. Thanks again Congress. Your approval rating finally hit zero in our station wagon last...
