Sometimes we dont use things but lots of times we use most of it.http://sweetcanadian.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/05510662655784927869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-57195508326840315222013-09-25T13:46:05.476-07:002013-09-25T13:46:05.476-07:00P.S.

You rock!<br /><br />I like to <i>think</i> I am a light packer, but I still usually wind up with more outfits than I actually need (because you know, I like to change my clothes according to my mood). :)<br /><br />xoangie on mauihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770427639385628076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208264279520359386.post-80626704101360121962013-09-25T06:49:59.747-07:002013-09-25T06:49:59.747-07:00yep, i roll things when we go on long trips that r...yep, i roll things when we go on long trips that require lots of clothes (family of five = much stuff). each child has a small rolling bag that they put their things in, just to make them responsible for something. I think the worst trip was when our oldest two were both under two... double stroller, two car seats (they did not rent them at the car place) diaper bag etc! the only good thing about that trip was a direct flight and kids flying free!<br /><br />the best trips are lake trips! for three weeks to the lake, I can pack everything in one laundry basket. one outfit to wear in the car there and one outfit to wear home. the in between time is spent in bathing suits and pajamas. luckily we keep toothbrushes and those things down there. that is one trip that i allow the children to pack their own things! sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613160883829695295noreply@blogger.com
