My heart is welling with joy

I'm packing for vacation. I'm not done yet, but I wanted to share this sight that is so beautiful that tears are beginning to sting my eyes.

If you know me well, you know what peace and contentment these individually packaged outfits complete with underwear and socks are bringing me. Look at them!

There will be no tornados of clothes tossed about the hotel as my kids try to decide what to wear for the day. There will be no lost underwear, no stolen socks, no t-shirts hanging from light fixtures.

Grab a bag for the day. End of story.

Oh peace.

Wow, wow, wow! I've never seen organization like that! I always make my lists before we travel, so I thought I was pretty organized, but... like I said, Wow!!! I've been thinking lately that you have more energy than most people I know. Are you on B12 or doing Red Bulls or what?!?
I'm SO excited for you about your vacation! Can't wait to hear all about it!

We just came back from a weekend trip and I used one big vaccuum bag and was thrilled with it. But getting the clothes out, and keeping them organized while we were there, well, that proved impossible. So I'm LOVING the individual bag idea. I'll have to start collecting the small ones.

Thanks for sharing!
