I have a few movies that I like to put on while I am crafting, or just getting something done. At the top of my list are (but is not limied to) Ghost Town, Penelope and Juno, just to name a few. This week I keep thinking of another one of my favorites, which is Spanglish. I love Tea Leoni, and Adam Sandler is so funny, and he cooks. But what I keep thinking about is the part where the crazy Mom (Leoni) is unpacking their things at the summer house that is beach front, and totally amazing. Remember she even goes to a flea market for special finds, just for the summer house. Wouldn't you love to be able to do that? Ummmmm, yes please!
This summer we have a summer home. Unfortunately it is not beach front. But it will be just ours, complete with a stream in the back, and fire flies. Fire flies! I've never seen a fire fly, they seem so magical! Can you actually catch them in mason jars?...I will let you know! The drawback to our summer home is that it is 19 hours away. Gulp. And I am driving! Double gulp! So my problem is space. I have things that I need. Like a high chair, and the pack 'n play, and the stroller, and the Lego box. Ugh, my list goes on and on. And sadly my list does not include a fabulous flea market chandelier. I wish!
Its hard to pack for a whole summer. What will I need? What would you need? What are the basics? What can I do with out. I am not going to eat out every meal. To make mac 'n cheese you need a pot and a colander. And car space is a commodity. I am still trying to convince Shawn that we should save space by leaving clothes behind, and going on a shopping spree when we get there! But I don't think I will win that one.
So, I don't know what will make the cut out of the mountain of stuff I already have piled by the back door. But I will let you know...

I have one of those portable high chairs that attach to a chair if you want it! It folds up pretty compact. Had so much fun skating for a bit with you today. Best of luck on your trek out there, you're going to have so much fun and yes, the mason jars really work:)!
Good luck!! Wish you were here out here with us!! lol :) You will have so much fun! ;)
What a great adventure you are in for! Have you made it yet? I hope you left a few clothes home and find some time to shop and hit a few flea markets too. It sounds like I need to go rent a few movies.
good luck on your summer trip!
