I can remember when my kids were little and we would go camping. Our oldest daughter was only three weeks old and we went camping over a holiday weekend. People thought we were crazy to take her but she grew up knowing camping. The younger you start, I think the better. It becomes a lifestyle.
Most of the lifestyle choices I made when my kids were little have stayed with them all these years. I can remember my youngest daughter, while in high school, using coupons for her shampoo and makeup, she said cause I used them all the time and it was free money. Made me proud.
