9 days before Christmas, but only ONE more day before travel commences with nearly one year old. I am in full on panic mode. I made a handwritten list of things to pack… I included underwear.
I have a list, in my handwriting, reminding me to pack underwear. Who does that?? I need to stop. breath. and remember my old mantra of traveling… you NEED airline tickets, ID, credit card (and now need car seat and stroller). That’s it. Everything else can be purchased again if you really need to. Now… just to re-convince myself of this.
In my panic, I also started list-writing about New Years – as it turns out, I have more to worry about there. For New Year’s eve, I will have 18 adults and 5 children spending the night. I have been focusing on New Year’s eve, the dinner, the party… but didn’t think at all about breakfast. If you have grand ideas, I am all ears.
Do you think it is weird to have potluck breakfast? BYOC (Bring Your Own Cereal).

I include underwear on my lists, and sadly I did that even before I had a baby.
Also, make sure you include the baby monitor on your list. Last Christmas we were visiting my family and forgot to bring it. There was a lot of running up and down the stairs to see if that little noise you might have heard was the baby. It got old fast.

Technically, you could even recreate said kid. Scratch another item off your list
And breakfast is easy. Make one of those big dishes the night before and bake the next morning. You know the ones – with eggs, bread, sausage, cheese, etc. that bakes for about an hour and feeds an army. Have OJ and Tylenol on hand and a bowl of fruit (cantaloupe, grapes, etc.). Breakfast is done!
