staying connected
What is your favorite family pastime? Although I never got to go camping with my family I want to make it a thing for ours. Camping really puts an emphasis on home life and brings everything back to making connections with one another and nature!
I know as a blogger / social media influencer I can get carried away sometimes being on my phone all the time, but I really enjoy being off my phone and disconnecting from the internet to get a break! Because one of my priorities in life are spending time with my family and loved ones, I try to spend two days out of the week without posting on social media.
Since I didn’t get that as a child with my father who was constantly working – which I totally appreciate because he gave us the life that we have today. I realized that as a kid and an adult making memories and staying connected to one another is really important. Disconnecting from social media and the internet is a great way to make spending time with one another interesting and fun!
Would you go camping with your family in order to do so? Also, do you enjoy camping or glamorous camping (a.k.a staying in a cabin or a really decked out massive tent)? What are the pros and cons?S
camping
glamping
- No work emails! This is important for me because I always have to take calls an business emails that can often take lots of time out of the day.
- No phone calls (for the most part)
- Accessibility to non-motorized sports. The lake, mountains, waterfalls, rivers and outdoor activities.
- Eating home cooked meals. This is alot cheaper than going out to eat or ordering out everyday that you’re camping.
- Quality time with one another and team building
- No distractions! No TV means having to interact with one another and finding things to talk about and do!
- Aesthetic look can come with glamping. They oftentimes have pretty settings.
- Amenities often come with hotels or cabins like a bathroom and a hot tub.
- Facilities are provided such as a public bathroom and the front desk is there incase you forgot anything.
- Accesibility to most anything if the location isn’t remote and isolated. Most of the time within walking distance of other establishments.
- Easy food options. This is a plus but also an expense as well.
- Options for activities and nearby attractions.

I would totally go glAMPING. I’M NOT VERY OUTDOORSY!
Camping or glamping both sound super fun but I lean more towards glam hehehe
Definitely glamping! Although i Did love wild Camping in the Sahara. There is nothIng better thaN being so close to Nature!
I like camping … its just feels great and fun!
I like the idea of camping, though some believe camping should be done at the Marriott, perhaps your “glamping” is an acceptable compromise 😉 the new traditions you develop will be the traditions your children remember from growing up. nicely done!
I’m a true glamper at heart sadly, and nothing can sway me back to the ways of camping!
Of course I tend to connect more with my family anytime I put away my phone and disconnect from the internet for a while and that helps me in knowing more about how my kids spent their day but camping, I have never tried yet, will give it a trial
I would love to go glamping…I would even consider camping if i knew what i was doing!
I would always go for camping as that’s the more manly thing to do.
Ive never been camping. I think I’d be too afraiD.
Glamping! That’s new to me.. I’m excited for camping in this summer.
Omg this so speaks to me because my husband always wants to take me camping. i cant wait to tell him about glamping 🙂
I never tried both but hopefully I could experience clamping soon. I need to prep well for this kind of trip.
If i go through the process of going out in the middle of nowhere id rather do it right and just go camping lol…i would love the experience
Seems like good stuff. I am definitely a glamping girl
I went camping once when I was younger, and apart from having cold showers, I loved it. However, I’m not sure my health would allow it now – I am in crippling agony if I sleep on anything other than a normal mattress, and I’m in a wheelchair. It’s sad that there’s now a lack of opportunities for me now but it’s something I have to live with.
