Ready-to-go Toiletry Pack

Packing up for a get-away is one of my

least favorite parts for a vacation.

So to keep things simple I always have

all my toiletries prepacked.

If you travel a lot you may already do this.

I've been doing this for a real long time

and thought I'd share.

I first used a bag large enough to hold everything I need, and small enough to fit in a suitcase easily.

Gotta love those Clinique Gifts!

Then to fit everything in: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, medicines and etc.

Travel sizes are always nice.

Keep it nicely stocked too so you

don't have to stress about it later.

And to avoid a sticky mess

put those items in a plastic baggy.

There! Already ready!

Just throw in your bag and you're ready to go!

When Life Hits Ya

Hello blog world again!

I hope you didn't think I dropped from the face of the earth. Life has gotten real crazy this Summer.

Not that I was way busy, but lots of things were going on that needed more of my attention. Life sometimes hits ya hard. So blogging had to take a back seat for a while.

One excuse that I have is a happy one. My darling little girl is going to be a...

Yep baby #2 is a comin!

We'll find out what were having in the next week, hopefully.

This pregnancy has been a toughy so far, but it looks like the 2nd Trimester has blue skies ahead.

As for blogging, I miss it lots! And I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. I'm re-evaluating  how I want do my blog. I can spend A LOT of precious time on it that I would rather spend with family or the actual crafting part.

I may slow down on the linky parties I do and number of posts each week. I also follow so many other awesome blogs (that's where I get lots of ideas), but just keeping up on them all can also take lots of time. We'll see how things go.

For now I'll show ya one of the few few crafts I was able to do this Summer, the Big Sister T-shirt.

It's super easy. I'll just show pictures because I just got a fabric letter kit from the craft store and followed their instructions.

That's it.
