Today I'm a busy little bee at home getting things together for the next two crazy weekends! I'm pack, pack, packing my life away (once again) before I head out tomorrow to set up for Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity's West Coast Zeta Day, then meet up with Dani for Retail Camp Saturday and Sunday. And well, you should know what the following weekend end is by now...Coachellaaaaaa.
Before I leave on my ever so often mini trips, I have a habit of overhauling my living spaces so they're picture perfect and welcoming upon my returns home. My only problem with this process is my tendency to bounce back and forth between projects- cleaning and packing at the same time never quite jives, everything seemed to get jumbled in the shuffle. Awhile ago I started hanging all my pieces to be packed across my door frame, out of the way of the cleaning piles, and easy accessibility to add items as I found them. It's saved a lot of confusion and since I just gather the items into a garment bag, a lot of wrinkles!
Lastly, here's a little quick and yummy recipe to keep you fueled between travels. It's become my go-to snack attack and if little ol' undomestic me can whip it up, anyone can! Enjoy on its own or layer into yogurt..mmm
