Hacks
Now that the weather is slowly but surely heating up, many families are taking to the great outdoors. After all, it's usually free, and Mother Nature gives children everything that they need to exercise their imaginations.
That's why camping is so popular. If you're anything like me, some of your best childhood memories will center around your parents telling you ghost stories by a fire, s'mores in hand.
And on the subject of camping and food, as every parent knows, things can and do go wrong - especially on the first night. Setting up a BBQ and a campfire takes time, and when you've got a tent to construct, you can often be left with some seriously 'hangry' children.
But that doesn't have to be the case with this mom's genius $5 Kmart hack...
