Are We There Yet?


Hi there...Tifany here.  As you read this, I am probably in the middle of hearing a repeat chorus of "Are we there yet?"
Our family is moving across the country (something like 2500 miles - yikes!), and we expect for it to take 4 (or quite possibly 5) days for the entire trip.


To prepare for the trip, I knew I wanted to have something that would be new and exciting for our three kids, but something that would not wear out its fun-ness after a day or two.
In order to do this, I've decided to start each new day with a little something...topped off with The Twinery's twine.


I've chosen two colors of twine for each of our three kids (Pink Sorbet and Lilac for our 8 year old daughter, Peapod and Charcoal for our 6 year old son, and Mandarin and Denim 
for our 3 year old son).


I used the twine to tie a day tag on each day's surprise - 
inside are simple things like stickers, activity books, 
and new chapter books for my two readers.
 

I have a feeling that these day bags are going to be a great hit on the trip...hopefully it will keep us all sane until we get there. :o)

Thanks for stopping by!
