Open Question: I'm going camping and canoeing this weekend, but I'm on my period. Any advice?

So me and a bunch of friends are going camping this weekend, only I'm on my period. The good thing is, we will have a trailer. So I think I'm good but we're also going to be doing some canoeing. I think I'd be fine with a pad but I'm afraid that I'll fall into the water or that my friends will want to play in it. My mom is iffy about me wearing tampons and today she made up the excuse that we don't have the money for them. Even if I offered to pay for them she'd still make up an excuse. But do you think I'd even need them? And how do I deal with my period when we go camping?
I asked my mom and she got mad and now she won't talk to me.

Nara In Her Strawberry Outfit
My mother was hosting a number of relatives over the summer, but one week had a particlularly large confluence - my Aunt from Ontario and two of my Dad's cousins (and their wives). How do you help out? Come over and visit at the same time!


Botanical Beach

Tide Pool On ShoreHelen And Nara At The Beach
Botanical Beach is one of my favorite places. I've been to Botanical Beach for day trips and I've also stayed in near by Port Renfrew for a May Long Weekend. How is botanical beach with a 6 week old baby? The walk down to the beach was fine (we use a soft carrier) but the baby doesn't like sunlight (you can't put sun screen on a new born and they do burn easily). There was lots of good cover by the side of the beach so we took turns with the baby.


There are at least two different modes for exploring Botanical Beach - either the taster plate tour or the in depth look. For people new to Botanical Beach you want to see everything. If you have been here before, you start to look for details that are different.

Lion King

Four Generations
My Parents and Grandparents had tickets to see Lion King! Of course they can't come to town and not see the Baby. Their show started at 7:30 pm and we got their hotel about an hour before they had to leave. Nara was initially sleeping but with enough handling she eventually came around and said hello to everyone!
