This past week has been a really busy one in our household. We went camping. I had not been camping in 14 years and I miscalculated how much to bring. Someone said what I did was called kitchen sink camping because I brought everything but! I actually had a cold and headaches the whole time and I don’t like being outside or dirt or bugs and have somewhat of an obsession about clean sterile dishes, so it wasn’t my favourite, but the kids had all kinds of FUN!
In honour of me needing to occupy my kids this week with nice quiet activities while I recover from the adventure that is called camping, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite quiet time activities.
