The Best Mother's Day Gift Is Camping With Family!

The beauty of being a mom means you get to enjoy life through the eyes of your child(ren)!

What better to way to celebrate mom than to get outside and go CAMPING?

Top 10 reasons why camping will make mom happy:

1. Give her a break from the daily grind - the same old routine everyday can get tiresome, a change of pace and an awe inspiring change of scenery is just what the doctor ordered!

2. Being outdoors reduces mental stress - I haven't met a mom who doesn't have stress...enough said!

3. Physical activity boosts endorphins, makes you sleep better and makes you feel happier- Who doesn't want those benefits?

4. Creating memories- After all...it's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years!

5. Gives her quality time to spend bonding with her family - The days seem to fly by between carpool, school, homework, after school activities, grocery shopping, cooking and working. As a mom, spending quality time with my family is the thing I cherish most (and gets me through rough days). Reconnecting with her spouse is an added bonus too!

6. A chance to make up new traditions and teach kids about the world they live in - A unique gift that comes from camping is the ability to see and try new things. Learning to make (and eating) s'mores, exploring new states, seeing history first-hand, are things kids won't learn while sitting in front of the television. When kids are engaged and having fun is the BEST time to teach them about important lessons in life.

7. Everyone can help with chores - Going camping gets the whole family involved in everything from cooking to cleaning (think BBQ's and campfire treats)!

8. Happy Kids - There's an old saying..."Happy wife, happy life". Mom's are definitely happy when their brood is happy too! When the kids are happy and entertained, mom can relax and enjoy the moment as well!

9. It's Cost Effective to go Camping - No one wants to wipe out their life savings to go on vacation. Camping is the cheapest way to take a family getaway without breaking the bank. From tent camping, to trailers and RV's, the camping adventure is always cheaper than a hotel!

10. There's Beauty All Around - Give mom the opportunity to stop and smell the roses. Luckily, being in nature means that beauty is all around!

Added bonus...on Mother's Day you don't have to spend a fortune on a bouquet...Being outdoors means she will be surrounded by the most heavenly bouquet (and it's free)!
