Tent Camping and Batter Blaster!

I always wonder why I continue to be a Girl Scout Leader for my daughter's troop. It's not something I love to do, but I do it for my daughter and that means the world to me. This time it was tent camping at El Dorado Park in Long Beach. It's called Junior Jamboree and I have to admit, I had a good time!  Over the years, I have learned to be a good little camper.  I know how to pitch a tent and I have learned that a good sleeping bag and a full size air mattress are a must! I have also learned that 10 year old girls like to stay up and talk late into the night. Luckily, I no longer stay in the same tent as them, so I manage to get a good nights sleep.  I have learned that 2 days is my maximum time without a shower.  Nothing feels better than taking that hot shower when I get home.  It reminds me of the same feeling I got as a kid, when I would come home from the Gulf Coast after a long day at the hot sticky beach, all sandy, and jump in to our shower. AHHH!  It was like heaven!!


Now I have to share something with you....Sunday morning before we left, we made pancakes. My family would tell you that I am not a breakfast cook. It's not my favorite meal. But I have to tell you I was amazed by this product that one of the mom's picked up at Costco.  It's called Organic Batter Blaster.  It's amazing! I was sold on this stuff. It squirts out just like cool whip.  No mess in the morning. Gotta love that.... Check it out!


This video will show you exactly what I mean....My kind of breakfast cooking!
