I’ve been on the sleepover camp scene for a loooong time, really my entire life minus a few formative years. I started going away to camp the summer before I turned six.

Sometimes you just want to lock yourself away. Image Source: © Silvia Ganora | Dreamstime.com I cannot use the washroom or be in the washroom without little feet, or slightly bigger little feet, following me inside. I like to have baths, even in the morning sometimes in place of my regular shower, just to relax and have some time to myself. But soon I can hear the pitter-patter of little feet coming in, followed by little face with a big smile saying “hi … Continue reading
