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 […]
