    I’ve Finally Learned To Travel Lite

    It has only taken me 50 years to learn to travel with less.  On this last trip to California, I traveled with one backpack and one carry-on suitcase.  Trust me if you knew me in real life you would in AWE!! I have FINALLY learned that I don’t NEED to have 72 tops, 4 pairs of shoes, 36 pairs of underwear. I will not wear 6 pairs of jeans.

  • Winter Readiness!

    I really don’t want to be winter-ready. I would rather be summer-ready!  BUT, I live in Sandpoint Idaho, and like it or not WINTER is a comin’, and when she does, she dumps a LOT of snow on us. Check out The Husband last year. In the MIDDLE of winter! We still had so much more snow to come. So, when I say I take travel time in my car VERY seriously.

    Oricsson Lightweight, Durable, Waterproof Backpack!

    Hanging out with 4-year-old Alice during the week has taught me a LOT!! One is never try and tape a video with that little ham around. Two, don’t try and carry a purse when you are with her; I need my hands free whether it’s to hold her because she is too tired to walk or to hold the toys that she SWORE to me I wouldn’t have to hold if I allowed her to bring them.
