Big Tent

I don't think that having a baby necessarily means that you have to move from a small and simple lifestyle to a big and chaotic one. Yes, there are suddenly more toys in the living room. Yes, there are more details to think about before you walk out the door (do we have diapers? snacks? wipes? a soother?). But babies don't really take up that much space.

Or do they? Laurel is definitely taking up more space in our hearts than we could have imagined.

And when we started to think about all the camping we'd like to do this summer, our little tent suddenly began to feel small.

So, we have crossed over the line from the small three person tent to a family tent. I think this also means we have crossed from "let's pack less" to "how are we ever going to fit all of this in the car?"

Here is a little (okay, so it's kind of long) video that we made as we put up our new tent for the first time. I think there's enough space!
