This post is sponsored by Camping World. All opinions are my own. When we first started RVing during the pandemic to go see high-risk family members, we knew working from our RV would be necessary. We needed a reliable internet … Read More

Our older daughter is 9!! It’s a little wild to me that she only has one more year before she hits double digits. In some ways, it felt tricky to find some terrific 9 year old girl birthday gifts. She’s … Read More

One perk of traveling on your birthday is you get to celebrate twice! Our 4th kiddo, A, turned 4 while we were in the Virgin Islands last week and has been SOOO excited for months. Like, I’ve never seen a … Read More
One of the things I felt most uncertain about when we started out with van life was where to stay when RVing! Could we stay in campgrounds? On the street? In National Parks? In trailer parks? Were they even called … Read More

I almost can’t believe the school year has started already! After a year and a half of no school, homeschool, part-time school, and a mix of other options, it feels surreal getting back to a bit of “normal” life. What … Read More
Welcome to LPF Weekly Deals! These are our favorite, tried-and-true travel gear and home life items that have stood the test of time. With 7 people in our home or when we travel, we try to only purchase items that are really worth their while (and their travel weight). I hope this helps you, too!
Magnetic tiles are one of the only toys I’ve actually purchased for my children in my entire 11 years of parenting. I love that all my kids, from age 11 down to age 1, love and play with them still.
This set is currently on huge sale so it’s a great time to purchase in advance of the holidays, especially with all the projected shortages and shipping delays.
These are our very favorite kids hiking backpacks. They’re lightweight and the perfect size even for little kiddos (we just purchased one for our 4 year old for his birthday and it fits great). We’ve had them for our kids for years and they’re not only durable, but help hikes go SO much better. We can go farther and don’t need to stop every 4 seconds to pull out a water bottle.
A couple of the colors are currently on sale so it’s a good time to get them at the end of the summer season if you’re not picky about color.
Packing cubes are some of our absolute non-negotiable travel items, and this is our favorite set. The zippers are strong and the mesh is durable. There’s currently a coupon for 10% off!
These are my favorite hiking shorts – cool and lightweight, and have an easy-to-access exterior pocket that fits my phone perfectly.
The Hanna Andersson pajamas are my VERY favorite and have been since my oldest was a baby. They’re so soft and the only ones that have lasted through 5 kids. We especially love their matching family holiday pajamas and they’re currently on sale for up to 30% off. They always go out of stock so go grab them early and thank yourself in a month!
I’m also VERY obsessed with these yellow sheep pajamas, apple pajamas, and turtle pajamas that I got my youngest recently. So darn cute. And these lemon print pajamas are our absolute favorites!
Okay, this last one isn’t on sale, but I am SO excited for it so I can’t not share. My friend Joanna (author of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners) just released her newest book, Playing at the Border. As a long-time Yo-Yo Ma lover and with a little cellist of my own, I can’t wait to read this one.
