Is It Morning Yet?

As I mentioned in my earlier post, you saw that we are attempting to replace the cables and now the springs of our 1999 Dutchman popup camper.
 

 
After all the research we’ve done on replacing the cables, it sounded like this should be an easy job.  We were able to order the parts we needed directly from the lift system manufacturer and Mr. Sidetracked tore right in.  Everything that could go wrong did go wrong and now we’ve got kinked springs.  Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get it fixed in time for our previously scheduled camping trip, so we reverted to the tent for this trip (and the popup is scheduled to go into the camper fixin’ shop first thing Monday morning).
 
We were thinking….”big deal, we can do this”, and planned to throw the air mattress in.  We knew it had a hole and figured it was the time to find it and patch it.  Well, time got away [aka we got sidetracked!] and we didn’t fix it in time, so we decided that we could handle one night on the ground in our tent.  Wow, what a night that was!
 
As I first layed down on that wonderful, hard ground, I heard all the bones in my back snap, crackle, and pop.  I did finally manage to go to sleep and was quickly awakened many different times…to screams from the toddler sleeptalking about bugs crawling on her, coughing from Mr. Sidetracked, talking from the 11 year old and 10 year old who happened to wake up at 3:00 a.m. ready for conversation and giggles….you get the idea….not to mention…the ground.  That hard, hard, ground!  Ouch, my hip hurts just thinking about it!

 
Nevertheless, even though it took morning forever to arrive, we still made some fun memories camping with 4 adults and 12 kids and I’m so glad that we spent the time together as families!  What’s life without fun memories?

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
