Summer is such a fun time for camping themed parties. The amazing Shaunda (Amazon mom) and Amanda (Pinterest mom) hosted the best camping themed party last weekend as a going away party for our friends Ben and Paula that are moving to Washington D.C. on a two year military assignment. We had such a great time hanging out in Shaunda’s backyard! We had camping themed food, played camping themed games, and celebrated our friends. This backyard camping party was too cute not to share!

We had a really fun campfire conversation about Amazon moms vs. Pinterest moms. The question is do you buy it or make it? The Pinterest moms were out there generating all these amazing ideas, and the Amazon moms were trying to figure out how to duplicate it with something store bought. I definitely fall into the category of the Pinterest mom. I would love to be crafty and make all the cute things, but I usually end up scrambling to pull things together last minute. Amazon to the rescue! I absolutely think there is room for creativity even with purchased items. You still have to have the vision to pull it all together!
If you know me at all, you know I would probably not thrive in a real camping environment. I love the idea of backyard camping. It gives you the feel of doing a little camping without public showers and sleeping on the ground. I know at some point being a boy mom I am going to have to take my guy camping, but I am still hoping it will be like Disney Ft. Wilderness Cabins style. A mom can hope right? Do you love camping? I’d love to hear your tips for camping with kids in your backyard or otherwise.
