Packed

By the time you read this, I will be in the air, heading to a convention for work. 


I've left my family a full batch of yogurt, several loaves of bread in the freezer, and a gallon jar of granola.  Inasmuch as housekeeping is never really done, I folded all the laundry, caught up on the ironing, and vacuumed one more time.  I like to think of this as one way I love them, smoothing their way through the days a bit.  Sure, my husband can run the house and wrangle the kids and find dinner. . .but. . .


I'll be back at homelife soon.  I'm ready to show you our new rooms.

  4. I travel a fair amount for work, and even though it's just me and my husband, I do this, too.

    Sometimes folks fuss me for not "making him take care of himself," but I like how you said that - it's one way you love your family. Me, too :-)

    Safe travels, and lovely homecoming!

    I so agree with you.. It makes us feel so much better to take care of our families [before we leave]..
    Love the loving photo of the kids.
