Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. It is unfortunately nearing the end of summer and that means that many people are going back to school. Now, I am done with school, but because Mom is a teacher I feel like I am reliving the first day of school. And there are lots of things that people do on the first day of school, but here are some of my favorite ideas.

Some of these are for parents, some are for kids, and some are for teachers. So enjoy!

Hello! I know that nobody wants to think about school starting soon, but it is an unfortunate thing for many people. This week I want to feature some of my favorite dorm rooms. Now, disclaimer, I never lived in a dorm room. I went to community college for two years while living with my parents and then lived in an apartment with friends since then.

So these may not be DIY or How To, but they are absolutely awesome Dorm Rooms, so enjoy!

Travel Tips and Tricks

Hello! I hope everyone had a good and safe 4th of July! I know mom and dad’s furry kids were good with the fireworks, and my cats were a little scared but nothing too bad.

With summer in full swing, people everywhere are taking road trips. Now, I wish that I could travel more than I do now, but it isn’t going to happen anytime soon. So to curb my hunger for adventure, here are some travel tips and tricks for you on your next road trip. Enjoy!

I haven’t been on too many flights but I can say that it is hard to pack a carry on bag. Arzo Travels lays out an awesome list of everything that you should pack in your carry on bag for your next flight.

Who doesn’t like snacks? Especially for a long trip you definitely need to have something to eat on the road. Live Laugh Rowe gives her list of snacks that she likes to pack for a road trip.

We all love our pets and we love them so much so that sometimes we want to take them with us on our adventure. The Every Girl complies a list of things to pack and look at when wanting your furry friend to go on an adventure too!

If you are traveling somewhere by car and not by plane, it can be hard to figure out how to pack your car. Stuffed Suitcase shows us how she packs her car for long road trips, which is very helpful!

If you are going on a trip soon, you may need to pack a lot of small items for your adventure. Polka Dot Chair gives us some ideas on things to pack to make traveling just a little bit easier.

Sometimes when you are taking a road trip, you are taking the whole family with you! Lexie Loo, Lily, Liam, Dylan Too gives us some great ideas of things to bring when traveling with kids.

Did you know that there is a “proper” way to pack a suitcase? Business Insider gives us this awesome diagram on how to properly pack for your next trip.

With everyone using technology for everything nowadays, wouldn’t it be nice if you could have a plethora of apps that were reliable for travel? Carry On or Bust compiles a list of apps that they use when traveling that make your life much easier.

This is a HUGE thing! Obviously you want to be safe while traveling and it would be terrible if things got stolen from you. Wise Bread gives a good list of things to take into consideration when you are traveling.
