these boots were made for walking...

...or more like these clothes were meant for packing. But there's not a saying for that. 

Do you guys ever have a hard time packing for trips? I always hated getting to destinations and pulling out wrinkly close. Partly because wrinkles are the poo's but mostly because I hate ironing. 

The solution?

Roll, don't fold. Not only will it save you space, it will keep your clothes from getting wrinkly. Knits work especially well. They may not turn out perfect, but you can definitely get away without the iron.

I loved not having to iron these dresses on our last trips. And apparently red is my traveling color.

So today is Justin's first day of school for the fall semester, and can I just say, this is the first time in living memory that I have not been going back to school. 

I'm seriously having an out-of-body experience. I think I'm in denial.

I love sitting in a class for the first time, going over the course topics. Cracking open a book that still has that new book smell. You know what I mean; the smell of knowledge that only comes from a new textbook, you almost can feel yourself getting smarter just by smelling the thing.

Ok, maybe not. But still. 

I love learning. I think I'm going to miss school.

ps. Can I just tell you how much I am loving pleats?! SO MUCH? (I only yell at you viraly when it is really, really true)

Don't forget, today is the last day to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY. (goodness, so much shouting going on in this post)
