Welcome to From Camping 2 Kickoff

Hi friends — and welcome!


I’m so excited you’re here.


After spending over a decade in football and cheer life, plus years of camping trips, beach weekends, tournaments, tailgates, booster events, fundraising events, and learning how to organize all the chaos that comes with raising kids in sports… I finally decided to create a space to share everything we’ve learned along the way.


Because honestly? Sports families and camping families live a VERY similar life!!!


We pack half our house into wagons.

We survive on folding chairs and snacks.

We spend weekends outdoors.

We learn how to stay organized, comfortable, and prepared no matter what the weather decides to do.


And somewhere along the way, all those little things — the products, the packing lists, the setup hacks, the organization systems, the game day routines — start making a huge difference.


Over the years, friends, parents, and teammates constantly asked:

  • “Where did you get that?”

  • “How do you stay so organized?”

  • “What do you pack for game day?”

  • “What camping gear do you actually use?”

  • “How do you survive all-day tournaments?”


So I thought…why not finally put it all in one place?



What You’ll Find Here

From Camping to Kickoff is all about helping sports families and outdoor-loving families make life a little easier, more comfortable, and a lot more fun.


Here you’ll find things like:

🏈 football & cheer parent essentials

🏕️ camping favorites & beach camping tips

🧺 packing lists & organization hacks

☀️ sideline setups & tailgate ideas

🎬 team bonding night inspiration

🎁 gift guides for sports & outdoor families

🪑 products we genuinely use and love

🤎 family memories, traditions, and real-life moments


This isn’t about perfection.


It’s about real life.

The organized chaos.

The late-night drives home from games.

The freezing cold sidelines.

The blazing hot tournament weekends.

The campsites.

The team dinners.

The memories our kids will carry forever.

Honestly, some of the best moments happen off the field.



Why This Means So Much To Me

As my kids have gotten older, I realized how fast these years really go.


One minute you’re carrying tiny football pads and juice boxes… and the next you’re watching teenagers under stadium lights wondering how time moved so quickly.


I wanted to create something that celebrates this season of life — because while it can absolutely be exhausting sometimes, it’s also incredibly special.


If I can help another football mom feel a little more prepared…help a camping family find products that actually work…or help make someone’s game day or family trip a little easier… then this page is already worth it.
