We are getting ready to take a family vacation for almost two weeks. For me, that is a LONG time. I REALLY don't like packing. I always feel like I am packing too much or not enough. I tell myself that next time I will pack lightly and make do with what we have. That never seems to happen. I am one of those people who makes lists. I have a list of items to pack, a list of items to get before our trip, a list of things to do around the house before we leave, blah, blah, blah. Where is my list to not worry so much. I am also one of those people who like to have my comforts of home even when I am away. I think I passed this insaneness onto my girls. I am trying to have them help me pack and my goodness they want to bring it all. I have got to get a grip on this :-)
Anyway, we are excited to see our family and friends and hopefully get some R & R too. It seems like whenever we travel we always need a recuperation week. I am hoping the girls behave and our 12 hour trip goes smoothly. My husband is meeting us in a few days, lucky him he gets to fly. I will be sure to pack plenty of DVD's, games, the I pad and anything else that might possibly amuse the youngsters on our car ride!!!
Since, I will not be posting tomorrow I am wishing ya'll a fantastic Friday. My fabulous Friday find this week is: Fooducate
It is an application for your phone / tablet that is amazing especially if you are trying to watch what you eat. Some of the highlights are: you can scan any item in the store with your phone or tablet. Fooducate then gives the item a rating. It also gives you pros and cons about the food item PLUS alternatives that are similar but healthier. I love this app. When I am food shopping and trying to figure out if a certain food is okay I scan the barcode and Fooducate will tell me everything I need to know. It really helps you be aware of all the unnecessary added ingredients and helps you to make a healthier choice.
Plus, the kiddos love using it and scanning items. It is entertaining as well. :-) Have a great weekend ya'll. Check out fooducate if you want to be educated about the food you eat!
