@Lain Love all the packing information. I'm an overpacker big time and DH has been nudging me towards getting more minimal. We took our Motherload and Motherload Jr on our last trip and I just love them. I'm considering getting Jrs for the kids but they still seem a little big. Is the professional slim smaller?
Trying to at least skim to stay caught up this week as it's our first week back to the homeschool grind and has been exhausting. A few notes about recent discussions:
My oldest is 13 and I don't plan on getting her a phone until 15 ish. Our situation is different since she is home most the day and we have a shared flip phone she can take when she is out.
Packing Cubes are where it's at! Last year everyone got a slim set stuffed in their stockings.
Costco clothes- My DH loves Kirkland jeans. Remember he's totally Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec... So a few years back I'm planning clothes for our annual family photos and I'm asking him what he wants to wear, thinking something nicer, he says dead serious " I'll wear my nice Kirkland's".
Like they are some fancy brand jeans. I tease him about his fancy Kirkland jeans all the time now.
