Keeping it Simple is the KEY to vacation fun!

July is the time most of us are off for some summer fun!  If you vacation for a day, a week or the whole month long, your time should be filled with fun not frustration.  

A recent trip to a friends summer house reminded me of the importance of keeping it simple to get the most out of your vacation.  

As I looked around the beauty and comfort of her home I observed the simplicity in her organized ways.   Everything had its place and could be easily located in the area where it is most often used.   

• Bikes and beach gear kept in the garage to grab on your way out. 
• Board games in the room where family gathers to play. 
• Open shelving in the dining area to make it easy to find plates and glasses.
• Clear snack containers inviting you to enjoy an afternoon treat.
• Chalk board wall to leave notes for family and friends.
• Bathroom essentials easy to access.

On my drive home I thought of all that we did together on  my short visit.  We were able to pack so much fun into our visit because we never spent any time looking for things or running out to the store to grab something.

Here's to a fun and fabulous 
Summer Holiday!
