I am coming to you this week from CHURCH CAMP!!  AH!
I never went to church camp as a child, I can tell you as an adult, it is SO AWESOME! I thought I would share my Top 5 Items to Pack for Summer Camp with you this week.

1. SUNSCREEN! I can not tell you the amount of kids that do not bring sunscreen. The kids (and adults) are out in the sun 75% of the day. PLEASE be sure to pack sunscreen.

2. Towels. Right behind sunscreen, the #2 things forget, a towel. I know! But they do! lol 2-3 towels for a 4-7 day camp is plenty! As long as they have one for the pool and one for showers, they are good to go.

3. Baggies. Weird, right? Not so much! If you pack your kids (or yours) clothes in plastic bags, when they change, they can slip them right back in the bag. This is especially great if the clothes are wet, or stinky, then they don't get the rest of their things wet/stinky.

4. Two Extra Sets of Clothes - OR MORE. Like I said before, kids get stinky....and sticky....and wet....and messy at camp. Just to be safe, toss in two extra sets of clothes. That way, they don't have to do the sniff test to find an outfit that will be OK to wear to chapel. EW. Also, keep an eye on the weather, if it is going to be rainy at all, add in one or two additional extra sets. Trust me.

5. Notebook and Pen. It is inevitable that your kids will make new friends at camp. Since phones and other electronic devices normally aren't allowed at camp, they will need something to jot down their new friends contact info. 

What is on YOUR must pack list?
I can't wait to see what you all link up this week!

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet!   Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up.  I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this.  FREE is ALWAYS good!   I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail.  I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results.  I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it.  You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal}   12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Today I am posting at Mom It Forward!

Hey guys!  I have some EXCITING news!  Today I am posting over at Mom It Forward ! I have shared my Fiesta Chicken Tacos recipe, it is SO good!  Go check it out!  While you are there, check out all of my other posts I have shared there. The Fiesta Chicken Taco mix is GREAT on nachos as well!  I also made a quesadilla with some of the mix last night and it was AMAZING!  This is also a very frugal meal, the total cost for me was $2.67! Here is the breakdown: Leftover Chicken - Free Black Beans - $0.50 for 1 can Frozen Corn - $0.17 (it was on sale and I used coupons, it was $0.33/bag and I used half a bag) Tomatoes and Green Chilies - FREE (again, on sale and I had a coupon) Tortillas - $2 Total- $2.67!  Now, if you had to buy all of that at regular price it still equals out to a very frugal meal. Enjoy!
