Some are serious, some are funny, and some are just story telling. Kelly Ripa's book was just a bunch of stories told with her witty banter, and I love her even more after reading her book. She makes fun of herself on all the levels, and is kind of open and honest about her life. I think this one book you have to listen to in order to get her humor. Actually, I think all memoirs or autobiographies should be listened to because it's the author reading them, and you really get a sense for their humor or inflection that you don't get when you READ the book. I was giggling a few times. </span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOmYaYGwdma5c2GwK9vSvWS-k1du2kMIxCX-rihErde194Dft0YzDUZUjl5ZXGX621sxpnx2R_5EIHM8VHjmOEvPkxrV-ND1BGbR_BTw2zeKPe1sNudSpKg2Je6200GFT4yVsL80ZLxMrEJJkOGysq-lKVQZaaFKG98wQQ7DgsaA_xeDS1E5NVGCjBA/s4000/20230605_164106.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHOmYaYGwdma5c2GwK9vSvWS-k1du2kMIxCX-rihErde194Dft0YzDUZUjl5ZXGX621sxpnx2R_5EIHM8VHjmOEvPkxrV-ND1BGbR_BTw2zeKPe1sNudSpKg2Je6200GFT4yVsL80ZLxMrEJJkOGysq-lKVQZaaFKG98wQQ7DgsaA_xeDS1E5NVGCjBA/w480-h640/20230605_164106.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://amzn.to/42CjSMZ" target="_blank">The Perfect Son</a></u> ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - (free on <u><a href="https://amzn.to/43S1fFN" target="_blank">Kindle Unlimited</a></u>) This is the same author as The Housemaid series. And she does not disappoint again. I really like this authors style of writing, and the twists that comeat the end! I did NOT see this one coming. It was a good book from the start, but halfway through, I couldn't put it down. </span><br />

I didn't read the synopsis (per my usual going into a book blindly), so I didn't know what to expect. Ha! This is a story about three ladies who are all being seduced by the same man that moved into the neighborhood.

I will read any of her books and I get sucked into them, even Verity (which is WAY out of her norm). Guys, I think maybe she's changing her style. While I still get sucked in and can't put it down, this was another darker (and spicier) book of hers. I really liked it though. I loved Sloan and Carter. I didn't like Asa, but that was her point to make us not like him. This book is dramatic, intense, thrilling. And the Epilogue started when I was 69% through the book. And then there's an epilogue to the epilogue 😳</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4sziG6r5nI9g0w-eboeSwuOco6jmJkB7Vxqg4Qj4HFWs4bVFctI3rytzDLlhLsLnWjcxcoep46G_IJLjTjfJRMMew_ErD28MPsnFv9jSsBgWaGaV1q0pQArQkRDy01gwXwnWDg4YUyYdetXp2WYfpcc7mMMh-5f9cNwUyByywa_My9XUTEj8ocyYJA/s3665/20230613_165332.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3665" data-original-width="2748" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj4sziG6r5nI9g0w-eboeSwuOco6jmJkB7Vxqg4Qj4HFWs4bVFctI3rytzDLlhLsLnWjcxcoep46G_IJLjTjfJRMMew_ErD28MPsnFv9jSsBgWaGaV1q0pQArQkRDy01gwXwnWDg4YUyYdetXp2WYfpcc7mMMh-5f9cNwUyByywa_My9XUTEj8ocyYJA/w480-h640/20230613_165332.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><a href="https://amzn.to/46t221W" target="_blank">The Match</a></span></u> ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (free on <u><a href="https://amzn.to/43S1fFN" target="_blank">Kindle Unlimited</a></u>) - oh. My. Goodness. This book was so good. I'm a Sarah Adams fan anyway, but this book I couldn't put down. I even got teary eyed a few times. This book was about a girl who had epilepsy and not only had a service dog, but became a trainer/owner of a business that matched service dogs to those in need (hence the title). One of her clients is a single dad whose daughter also has epilepsy.

I'd you're in the mood for a might hearted rom-com, feel good book, then she's you're go-to girl.

It made me want to go to Greece though. So maybe that's one for the con column haha! It was about a girl going to Greece with her sister and friends before her sister's wedding. They've been together since childhood and they have this contract that comes into play during their trip.

It was about a family who owned a camp (like sleep away camp up in Canada). The parents died and left the camp to their kids...kind of. There's a little stipulation in the whole deal. One that is the main point to the book. There were a lot of characters (most of them siblings), but once I figured out what was going on, I wanted to keep reading to get to the end to see who did it! I will say that I didn't see that coming. BUT I also didn't like how it ended. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>So that's what I have for this month.

Money can't buy you happiness...but it can buy you travel, and that makes me happy! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaOYWM3YpucgZtVpG_MUzobfRnuFl3Zd4EqOdi3V9iJTksN-20-kif0mtb9XiU7yO8PQNlu3s-JzihrIl74fPCjhPi-C_7JVDDx0BJlYF2E2CUcDRF5wJaQAn2ENPHtR0Qyfi-EAhmwavlRv0Xvhgbv2uuGrbovxLOsAKyUeb4IEWsm9hsRGGAROuE4g/s3648/20210622_101930.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2736" data-original-width="3648" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaOYWM3YpucgZtVpG_MUzobfRnuFl3Zd4EqOdi3V9iJTksN-20-kif0mtb9XiU7yO8PQNlu3s-JzihrIl74fPCjhPi-C_7JVDDx0BJlYF2E2CUcDRF5wJaQAn2ENPHtR0Qyfi-EAhmwavlRv0Xvhgbv2uuGrbovxLOsAKyUeb4IEWsm9hsRGGAROuE4g/w640-h480/20210622_101930.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>We travel to the mountains, to the beach, to the islands... wherever!</div><div><br /></div><div>So here are some of my travel tips...</div><div><br /></div><div>#1 - Plan what you might want to do, but don't make an itinerary. Unless you have to make reservations for something, kind of go with the flow...and the weather. Every time we go somewhere, I make a list of things we might want to do, and then we kind of just play it by ear. Having an itinerary, kind makes it less a vacation and more of a stress. Especially, when you have someone in your family who isn't used to running on a schedule (i.e. - my husband. lol)</div><div><br /></div><div>#2 - Use <u><a href="https://amzn.to/3CyZUYI" target="_blank">these packing cube</a></u>s. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy5tEQW6Ty5gRibHXTn_qR4_kzF1-NuwXT9-AjFqGjchRy_9I12We_Xw_UTb8JeKD_IbqVXziKUqclEXem23lGdsOIcKxQBdGqYHGe_mPaSreoK9SJqOE-L7CCrAw8xUM6I9JfNjUbJgQfOYWb2nWeMfRwakzOy2hEkSi7rXV9zvErhamTalmcrMG7FA/s1440/292877695_10161684414158154_5116922293111334494_n%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="932" data-original-width="1440" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy5tEQW6Ty5gRibHXTn_qR4_kzF1-NuwXT9-AjFqGjchRy_9I12We_Xw_UTb8JeKD_IbqVXziKUqclEXem23lGdsOIcKxQBdGqYHGe_mPaSreoK9SJqOE-L7CCrAw8xUM6I9JfNjUbJgQfOYWb2nWeMfRwakzOy2hEkSi7rXV9zvErhamTalmcrMG7FA/w640-h414/292877695_10161684414158154_5116922293111334494_n%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Questrial; text-align: center;">They are a GAME CHANGER when it comes to packing. I don't know how I ever did it before without these things. I will never go back to not using cubes when packing a suitcase again. You can organize them however you like, but usually, I pack my outfits together (I pair my shorts and tanks/shirts together and fold them together) and put them in one cube. One cube is my PJs, one is my socks, underwear, bras, and one is my sports bras and swim stuff. (I wear a lot of my sports bras as swim suits). If we go somewhere cold, then one cube is the outerwear (jackets/sweatshirts)</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Questrial; text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Questrial; text-align: center;">#3 - Don't ask your kids where they want to go. haha!

These shorts are some of my new favorites. They have a bikin liner, which I love. The band isn't too snug. And the length is just right. I have them in a few colors, and will probably get a few more. haha!</div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://amzn.to/3J7mmvQ" target="_blank">Masks</a></u> - my girls prefer masks to goggles. They like their noses covered, too. And this one has a cloth band, instead of elastic, so their hair doesn't get all tangled.</div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://amzn.to/3Cmb8jm" target="_blank">Coola After Sun</a></u> - this is, hands down, one of the best after-sun products. And it's a CLEAN product, which I love even more!</div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://amzn.to/3Npa7xi" target="_blank">WOW noodles</a></u> - yes, they're more money that you probably want to spend on noodles. But these last a few years. They don't "shed" and they can hold up an adult weight! We use them in our pool and take them to the beach. </div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bXpuT" target="_blank">UPF Relaxed Jacket</a></u> - I love this "jacket" so much. I wear it at the soccer fields, on the beach, or just if we're outside all day. It's lightweight and relaxed, so it's not clinging to me and making me hotter. I got the white, which is kind of hard to keep clean, if I'm being honest. but I love it so much.</div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://beautycounter.com/products/skin-care?filters=sun-protection" target="_blank">Sun screen</a></u> - When it comes to rubbing stuff into our skin, and frequently, I really want it to be as "clean" as possible. I don't like the idea of rubbing toxic chemicals into our body for our body to absorb. This sunscreen is the best! It really does work, too. </div><div><br /></div><div><u><a href="https://amzn.to/3PaszuS" target="_blank">Shampoo </a></u>- With as much time as the girls spend in the pool, and their blond hair, we have to make sure we get the chlorine out. Even with having a salt-water pool, it still has chlorine in it. </div><div><br /></div><div>If we're talking swim outfits, the girls are LOVING their <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bXps6" target="_blank">Athleta Girl Swim</a></u> suits. I normally just go to Target or Academy, but as soon as they put these suits on, they were like "wow! these are so good!" and they fit them like a glove.<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bXps6" target="_blank"> Athleta Girl </a>for the win!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bXps6" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh5rUevedO3NE_2KVDU_gErCNQHGHCfZbWVDX_AsnEf2tbMOeQbCOdIIonKIybn-pJgEfGv19TEfEGtHWIkDI9-ZmAzuzOEPOFGZj7hdFwpTo4qw65u7OjAu4eXUSnYSN1RUoaFS2NUdxILi9vTBWp8xf3EddaG-0M1yIDwAnfph7YwwPvOss79tfzew/w640-h640/Cream%20Colorful%20Bathing%20Suit%20Summer%20Beach%20Girls%20Instagram%20Story%20(5%20%C3%97%205%20in).png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>

Well... it's not from Amazon. But <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZrW" target="_blank">these sandals</a></u>, I have been wearing for FIVE years straight now. I will never go back to regular sandals. I LIVE in sandals, you know, FL girl. But with the pains that I've had in my feet were/are unbearable, until I started wearing these <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZrW" target="_blank">OOFOS sandals</a></u>. They have a bunch of different styles now, and even slip on <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZte" target="_blank">sneakers </a></u>(which I have and LOVE). The sandals are not so cute off, but once you put them on, they're not that bad and by golly they're so amazing you won't even care! These are the best teacher shoes too. I keep a pair at work and wear them around the classroom all day long. And if I can get away with it, I wear them around the school, too.

Happy Monday morning! I hope you had a great weekend!

I pay a small monthly fee and get a lot of my books from there. And a lot of them I can actually use the audio version of them, too! You don't even need to have a Kindle - It can go to whatever device you like to read on. Your phone, your ipad/tablet. I happen to have a <a href="https://amzn.to/3RiU6Zp" target="_blank">Kindle Paperwhite</a>, which I LOVE, but you can deliver these books to whatever device you want to read on. I'll even get children's books with my <a href="https://amzn.to/3qbE6MQ" target="_blank">KindleUnlimited</a> and read them to my children or students using the ipad at school. It's perfect, actually. <div><br /></div><div>This month's books - 3 of them were free and 2 were deeply discounted with my <a href="https://amzn.to/3qbE6MQ" target="_blank">KindleUnlimited</a>. Definitely give it a shot! </div><div><br />
Ok - so here's this month's books. I think I did really well with FIVE books and it was back to school month! lol Thank goodness for audiobooks. <br />

Happy Monday!!<div><br /></div><div>We are back from our trip to the FL Keys for my Birthday. </div><div><br /></div><div>Let me preface, I don't like parties for my birthday. And ever since I was a teenager, I have traveled for my birthday, except for a few times here and there. But this year, I didn't think we could swing it (financially) because I didn't work this year to add to our trip fund. BUT, Ron "surprised" me with a trip to the Keys for my 40th birthday!<br />

This one, I started a LONG time ago, but only got halfway through it. And then I just picked it back up. It took me a while to get into this one, but I'm glad I stuck with it, because I ended up liking it. It's another historical fiction book, based on actual events from the 1930s when some brave women started a mobile library to help education the local country people. There were some personal drama with the main character, which I'm sure actually happened a lot back then. </div>

I gave it a 3, but don't just go by me review! I think it was the way it was written and how it toggled back and forth between two different times, but with characters I couldn't really connect with.

You are all over my summer reading list! I will say it wasn't my favorite book of hers, but I still thought it was a cute book. I just felt like the two different plots almost didn't go together. It was a mix of vacation (right here in Florida!), love, domestic thriller plot, and just fun characters. A cute beach read, for sure!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3BlVIMJ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuuOmHYMt4x6UVOZb1YFkUHbZfdU0ICFf2L2nTWmcJ87JrNuhf0Hn5ZsveVVPwjgZ6u_t_en0FBmEwwgSOACkDpgzCXNJo-mLt25sl8xJv5LhjKshCjn8tKWCatBrZVdRNJjYUhyiGZzGp29WYWXIiLoI8h-URvkTBvFgU-ziEhGAGkVwVr2gsuDnZNA/w426-h640/51lv7uplhcL.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>7. <a href="https://amzn.to/3BlVIMJ" target="_blank">What Alice Forgot</a></div><div>Gosh I really liked this one - Alice falls and hits her head and forgets EVERYTHING from the last 10 years of her life.

Have you tried the new XB pilates on <u><a href="https://bit.ly/JenRossBeachbody" target="_blank">beachbody on demand</a></u> yet???
Holy. Cow.
It's like barre blend on steroids 😆
I had to DROP my TWO LB WEIGHTS this morning at one point because it was so dang hard - ha!
One day, I'm using my 20 lbs for upper body day, and today I was struggling with 2 lb weights, if that tells you anything. I did the sculpt 1workout.
I am definitely incorporating this program into my weekly rotation.
I haven't even tried any of the new workouts they've added, but xb is part of the open fit programs that they added. I'll have to give the other ones a shot at some point too </span></span></div><div><span data-offset-key="cumfq-6-0" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-text="true" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHc71UvqPQ3e7KHhqxf8oYpWn3d45u5ncDlLnw9H8FKIqiA-Z8NKI2GdZqPvtG-lUm8r4-lb0dRRK13H_viBYaRD-r9P4Hp6dJyU876UyR7SxAWZAnP6BxQbrm3Q4WszgdWpGR4BOoQx7L8gkkO7vSW5MMrI3FwEo-Dd-py2W8XFw7T_6tf8xuRyCL1w/s1856/294683363_10161705233848154_3286185800279161124_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1856" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHc71UvqPQ3e7KHhqxf8oYpWn3d45u5ncDlLnw9H8FKIqiA-Z8NKI2GdZqPvtG-lUm8r4-lb0dRRK13H_viBYaRD-r9P4Hp6dJyU876UyR7SxAWZAnP6BxQbrm3Q4WszgdWpGR4BOoQx7L8gkkO7vSW5MMrI3FwEo-Dd-py2W8XFw7T_6tf8xuRyCL1w/w372-h640/294683363_10161705233848154_3286185800279161124_n.jpg" width="372" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszRP2-1X4qukZ-hKNe5MjZ2YcmNtyRV0O25_GX5R_uw6II04kE6_7SpQ1adLAQWjQ6CbKa2IdmY1N0buSPYreS3rn4DdobwCS5HYmvQnRw3D-mTeksDnZgsXvu4O1EULyZtbHV941jfglks6Fv2FX4xlZI8uqXtL62IBDQBZdmo5uKRMsFS6XAEJVTw/s600/4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszRP2-1X4qukZ-hKNe5MjZ2YcmNtyRV0O25_GX5R_uw6II04kE6_7SpQ1adLAQWjQ6CbKa2IdmY1N0buSPYreS3rn4DdobwCS5HYmvQnRw3D-mTeksDnZgsXvu4O1EULyZtbHV941jfglks6Fv2FX4xlZI8uqXtL62IBDQBZdmo5uKRMsFS6XAEJVTw/w200-h200/4.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm starting to get some new things for my classroom!

I don't know how I ever did it before without these things. I will never go back to not using cubes when packing a suitcase again. In fact, whenever I pack a weekend or overnight bag, I find myself getting annoyed at how messed up and mixed up everything gets. I might start packing a cube for a weekend bag - haha!

They have SO many different sizes and shapes, and they're NOT just for food, although they are AMAZING at packing and storing food. We use them ALL THE TIME for our lunchboxes and storing food in the fridge. Get yourself a multipack so that you can have one of most of the sizes/shapes. I really like this standing up one - I use it for all the medicine we bring (yes, I bring an array of medicine with us, and guess what? We usually need the oddest one. Brooklynn actually used the Gold Bond this trip because she got stung by something - poor kid). I also use the long bag for all of our chargers. Seriously, get a multi-pack and then if they don't have a stand up one, get one of those, too.

After this, he had what we think was an anxiety attack. We've never seen him act like that. It was bizarre. And since he's 80-90 lbs, it was a little difficult to manage, as opposed to when my mom's 10lb dogs have one. But he finally find a tiny hole for himself, which made him feel better and he did okay the rest of the trip. Once we got to the house, he was fine. And he's acting normal again. Poor dog. I have no idea what prompted that from him, though. Maybe we'll need to get him some calming treats for the road back. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3IYOJDp4PmW-Vwwb4X66XzN1vZR9ELVfM8yNWqVe76cmknFWPhXkgSNnXaq01abf2R8o1P6-Nk_DeJo41XraHMXbcDRnwSCcK48idVqF7rPR48GFBH8MS5GhBdpl6MgOUJrWkLSwFbYfSL__4HAz4VGjNa0Npj6l50Y_WqR-OHdLyOuNWl4A93BCqQA/s2296/20220710_124444.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1722" data-original-width="2296" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3IYOJDp4PmW-Vwwb4X66XzN1vZR9ELVfM8yNWqVe76cmknFWPhXkgSNnXaq01abf2R8o1P6-Nk_DeJo41XraHMXbcDRnwSCcK48idVqF7rPR48GFBH8MS5GhBdpl6MgOUJrWkLSwFbYfSL__4HAz4VGjNa0Npj6l50Y_WqR-OHdLyOuNWl4A93BCqQA/w640-h480/20220710_124444.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The last leg of the trip was up around a mountain.

It's no secret I love to travel.<div>(Check out my "<a href="https://asplashoflifeblog.blogspot.com/search/label/vacation" target="_blank">Vacation</a>" label)<br /><div><br /></div><div>However, flying with a family of 5 isn't cheap these days. And while we HAVE flown with all the girls, most of our trips in the last few years have been road trips. I kind really like road trips, being able to stop along the way to different places. Just hop in the van and off we go!</div><div><br /></div><div>If we're not crashing my parents' RV trips, we stay in VRBOs. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've kind of gotten packing for road trips down to routine, after a few times of figuring it out. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some the ways that work for us...</div><div><br /></div><div>For the house - </div><div><br /></div><div>1. Do all the laundry and dishes (and put it away) and vacuum. - there's nothing worse than coming home to a dirty house.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Water the plants the morning you leave. Depending on how long you you're, you might have to have someone come water the plants.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Meal plan for when you get back and make your grocery list. I actually put it all in a Walmart Pick up order and schedule it for later that day, or the next morning. Last think I want to do is come home and then think about meals and go grocery shopping.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Eat all the leftovers and produce - clean out that fridge! If you aren't taking it with you, then it needs to go (if it'll go bad while you're gone)</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Turn down the AC. A lot of people have "Smart" thermostats now. So on our way back, we turn up the AC so it isn't hot when we get back. </div><div><br /></div><div>Ok - so now onto packing the car... </div><div><br /></div><div>First...Clean out the car...just so you can pack it full. lol</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Well... it's not from Amazon. But <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZrW" target="_blank">these sandals</a></u>, I have been wearing for FIVE years straight now. I will never go back to regular sandals. I LIVE in sandals, you know, FL girl. But with the pains that I've had in my feet were/are unbearable, until I started wearing these <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZrW" target="_blank">OOFOS sandals</a></u>. They have a bunch of different styles now, and even slip on <u><a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/bIZte" target="_blank">sneakers </a></u>(which I have and LOVE). The sandals are not so cute off, but once you put them on, they're not that bad and by golly they're so amazing you won't even care! These are the best teacher shoes too. I keep a pair at work and wear them around the classroom all day long. And if I can get away with it, I wear them around the school, too.
