Closing gifts for families with kids are my absolute favorite!! So when a family from out of state with six children just closed on their home, I knew I had to set something special up as a gift for them before they moved here so they could let their momma and daddy move in in peace.
Well....I bought a tent with tens of thousands of 5 star reviews on Amazon that said it was so easy to put up! Hah! I should have known that what is easy for other people setting up tents will NEVER be easy for this girl! I went and tried for a very long time to set it up to no avail due to the VERY many small pieces and my VERY challenged brain when it comes to these things.
Thankfully, my husband loves me and came the next day and put it up with no challenges whatsoever, even though he was really cute sitting in the middle of the tent wondering over and over why I'd put the poles and prongs in the wrong spaces and in the wrong direction.
Moral of the story...I will never buy a tent again as a closing gift AND I remain very grateful for my husband!
