Packing smart.

We’re going on a little road trip tomorrow morning, and as usual I’m the designated packer for the entire family. I thought I’d been doing a pretty good job of it, until we went on a holiday with my stepsister-in-law and her family and I realised from looking at her two girls’ attire from day to day that I could have saved a lot of space if I had done one simple thing – pack dresses instead of separates for my daughter.

A dress is an all-in-one garment, necessitating only a panty for completion. Why did I not think of that before? ‘Course, it’s a different story if you have a boy. Unless you’re comfortable dressing him in frocks and bloomers.

I’m going to start raiding Alison’s closet soon, and believe me, she’s going to be wearing nothing but dresses for the next three days.
