Elaina Pearl

Packing for an entire year can be overwhelming. I have been on my trip for a little over a week and there are clearly items that I am grateful I packed and others that will have to earn their spot in the car.  My top 3 most-used items are a candle, my pillow, and a personal blanket.  It is no surprise that these are all comfort items.  Make sure you are not editing them all out, so you can make each spot feel like home.   

I have been waiting so long to share this first post with you all.  Sitting down to write this feels exciting and overwhelming.  Sam & I have been talking about going on an adventure for what feels like forever, but is realistically about 10 months.

Are surprise parties really worth all the stress? The intense planning, manipulation, strategy, tactics, and effort all lead up to a moment that may or may not actually be a surprise.  Since the probability of a surprise being ruined feels high, wouldn’t it be easier to use that energy for literally anything else? Yes.  Unfortunately, I am not in the business of doing things the easy way and recently planned one for my older sister that was Sims themed.
