Hi, friends! Happy Friday! I did a poll on my Instagram Stories asking if you’d like to see a “What’s In My Suitcase” post for our upcoming beach vacation, and an overwhelming majority of you voted yes! 

This is the majority of what I’m bringing to the beach. Although, I am a notorious over-packer, so chances are I will add at least 72 pieces (that I won’t end up wearing) at the last minute. 

I like to roll my clothes when I pack them. It make more room in your suitcase and also helps with wrinkles. 

Every time I post my luggage , I get a lot of questions. I ordered it last minute before our last trip, and I’m so glad I did. I use the larger suitcase and the girls share the smaller one, and it’s the perfect size. 

OK, off to pack for the rest of the family. Wish me luck.

    I really like that black dress, seems comfortable and perfect for a summer vacation! I also like that big hat, I have never been big into hats but am really starting to see the function of them, no one wants the sun in your eyes.
