FlyLady continues to be a wonderful resource for me, even though I don't follow her system to the letter anymore.
Whenever it's time to pack up and visit my parents, I get easily overwhelmed. It's just me and baby, so I feel like my brain has a million different To Do lists competing with each other - daily household stuff, potty training, homeschooling... Adding travelling to the mix (even if it is only for a few days) can easily turn me into a freak of nature!
So I thought I'd share this packing list from FlyLady. This is the actual list, but the tips she includes on what to do before you pack are immensely helpful. I didn't include them here, but here is the link for the full package - tips, list, and all!
