This is The Homemaking Foundation's podcast with Jamie Baume, episode number 149.

Welcome to the Homemaking Foundation's podcast, where we give you the tools, inspiration, and

encouragement you need to craft a gospel-centered home.

And now your host from youngwifesguide.com, Jamie Belmay.

Hey, ladies, welcome back.

We are talking about a topic today that I have had so many questions on the last few weeks and months, and that is vacationing and camping with young kids and how to make it fun.

We've done a couple trips this summer.

We did a couple trips last summer.

And while not all of it was fun and we hit some bumps along the road, overall we had a really

fun time on our trips even with five very young kids.

And so we're going to be talking about that today, some things we've learned, some things

we're going to do differently.

And most importantly, how to make the vacations fun.

Because I have heard from other young moms, young families who attempt their first big vacation

and they come home and go, oh my gosh, that wasn't worth it.

It was horrible.

We're never leaving the house again.

And that's kind of what I was expecting from our first trip last summer as a family of five.

And I'm like, oh, is this going to be ridiculous?

And there was definitely some hard things. But overall, we had a lot of fun time. And there's a lot

of things we learned. So that's what we're going to be covering today. And I also wanted to make

sure that you guys were aware of the 2018 Homemaking Ministries Online Conference.
