Beat the heat

daisy pink cupcake pink suitcase 

It’s a little toasty here in Phoenix, so we’re skippin’ town. 

Which is really a blessing because my before-we-leave-to-do-list is getting out of control.  Give me more time and I will be packing the kitchen sink.  Whenever I really plan for a trip and try to organize it thoroughly, I end up taking even more random stuff than if I just packed on the fly.  Tonight we went to dinner with some of our very best friends (who are getting married next month!) and recalled our honeymoon in Italy when I completely over-packed (hardcover books, ALL of my stationary for thank you notes that of course didn’t happen on the trip, and enough clothing, shoes and toiletries to last a season and supply a full-service spa)…  We won’t be quite as luggagely-challenged this time, but I sure do wish I could pack a neat little suitcase like this one, pop my matching flower through the handle and be on my globe-trotting way!

Whether you’re vacationing or staycationing, have a lovely  and laid back Saturday!
