As a frequent business traveler, I think you hit just about all the packing tips I know and more.

I’m a military vet too but was in the Navy so we packed seabags.:)

Hi Jenn:

Looking at the ALR site, saw Frugal Upstate.
Frugal is my middle name. Ha.Ha!
Great packing tips and I plan to tell my daughter
about the chore chart. She has a 6 & 8 yr old .

Hi Jenn,

I’ve enjoyed all your videos. That’s actually how I found you. It was the chicken video. Keep making them. You put a lot of info into into them without fluff or distracting mannerisms.

Love the videos!! Really liked the clip board idea. The packing tips were great – I am heading out this week on a trip to CO — will use some of your tips for that trip. Have a great time while you are gone.

I love your videos. Even though my kids are 15,19, and 22, that chore “chart” would have worked wonders. Great idea!

Jenn,
I love the chore chart and laptop sleeve ideas. In our husehold we use a star chart for the kids, sometimes it is effective sometimes not so much. My husband and I have to remember to give stars, I forget frequently. I believe I can springboard off your idea. You sounded simliar to myself with being so over the prep for school mess. No one finds anything yet they take everything off in the same place!!! Have a great weekend.
