Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste.

They’re quality time spent together without the distractions of household responsibilities, work, school, and everything else life throws at us. When our kids were younger, we used to go camping at state parks, and they thought it was the best thing ever! Vacations don’t have to be huge or extravagant.
