I am posting from far away. I have been traveling with my three boys for a week now, and it has been a great experience! As with anything, planning and foresight make any endeavor more enjoyable.
I have become pretty good at packing and getting everything ready to get us out the door.
I use the guest room togather everything that we are taking, and I have a checklist that I use as I pack. By the day we leave, I have things ready to go into the car in a certain order.
The other thing that makes traveling easier is having as many of the household management details available online as possible.
This is extremely helpful in making your trip more relaxing because you can deal with any issues that come up immediately.
I forwarded all the calls to my home to my cell phone, and yesterday I got a call from a biller that told me that a very substantial check hadn't cleared. Since I had all my banking information at my fingertips, I was able to clear up the situation and go back to enjoying my family. If I had gotten that call and had to call the bank, or worse, hadn't gotten the call at all and had been greeted with a major problem upon returning home, it would have cast a pretty big shadow on the trip.
We are having a great time...And I am posting a blog entry!

I love the feel of home and I love the business of making my home and homeschool work as smoothly and "Grace"fully as possible. I want to help preserve the art of Domesticity, with the added Blessing of Home Education.
This is the purpose of this blog. To pass along some of the things I have learned, and am learning, about organizing, about cooking, about homeschooling, about time management and other tidbits.
