ok - so a “mild storm” has turned into a tropical depression over night.  Nice…. the day we are to leave for Peru the weather is crummy.    I am preparing for the red eye to Lima and here are a few of my tips.

Things to bring on the plane for an international red-eye.

  1. one neck roll - to try to sleep with.
  2. one pair of ear plugs for those who snore or choose to talk the entire flight.
  3. one sleeping blindfold. - I used to have one but I don’t know if I can find it after our 7 moves in the last 5 years
  4. two Tylenol pm.  In case all else fails I will sleep tonight. 

The last redeye  I took was a nightmare because I was unprepared.  I wont’ make that mistake again.  Yes, I will arrive to the airport in a outfit that looks very close to PJ’s because like I said before..I am preparing to sleep.

A few other things….

  1. hard pics of the kids.  Now that everything is digital I always forget to bring pics of our kids to show them off. 
  2. my passport……thanks to FEDEX and the Federal Building in Miami.  Again note to self….never let your passport lapse.
  3. My vitamins - I need to make sure I keep up my energy.
  4. my journal - God always gives me things to think on while I am out and about and I want to write them down so as not forget them.

Ok - Off to make the beds, take out the trash, fold that last load of laundry.  We are playing a travel game so stop by and join the fun.

Peace to you this rainy day!

I few hours left to blog tip…

blog-tipping-small.jpg  Ok - I have a few hours left to blog tip.  Rebekah tipped me so off I go with a few minutes left to blog tip.  I read of it first over at Bev’s blog and forgot this month.  Shame on me!

Firstly, the Dolly Mama   I am sure if we lived within driving distance we would be thick as thieves…and anyone who has 6 kids, home-schools and is a WHAM gets a huge hats off from me.

Secondly, my new find Firmly Planted  Another Homeschooler who has a strong voice.

 Last but not least….  Day of a Mom. Because she is as passionate and driven as I am.  Actually she makes me tired at times but she only has 2 kids so she has an advantage over me.  I love her to pieces and she makes our business better just by being her!

You can check them anytime in my blog roll.  I am on the hunt for new finds who have a stong voice and are saying something the world needs to hear.  Look out you may be next.
