There's power in numbers.  Especially when those numbers include several elderly people and a multitude of children. We basically take over terminals, hog all the Ubers and stay at the swankiest spots.  Am I embellishing?  Maybe just a bit.   We travel so much with family, I hardly remember what it was like to travel solo.  It's kind of like being a Mom.  You forget what it was like to use the restroom without someone requesting assistance, (in the form of pounding down the door) for important tasks:  Like finding Lego Batman's missing right arm.  That's why I'm sharing my ultimate travel hack guaranteed to make your national vacation one that you can actually enjoy.  What would you give to not sleep in the same room as your snoring in-law?  Your right arm? Let's just leave it at Lego Batman's right arm, if I can find it...

Every leaf speaks bliss, falling from the autumn tree, and every coffee is spiced in a way that tickles the nose.  These are the gifts of autumn. They make the transition from outdoor water games and cool ice cream cones to warm, earthy decor and cups full of steamy goodness.  If you blink, autumn’s elegant display will only be a quick show in Mother Earth's yearly presentation. My suggestion is to take your time. Indulge in fall's seasonal delights, even if your busy morning calls for it to go.

Fashion is six months ahead so really this article is completely useless LOL.  But you might be like me, feeling like you are constantly playing catch up all the time.  Wasn't it just summer?  Did you finally make the splurge on that woven, basket-bag that you were swooning over for the last month?  Yeah, I feel you 100%.  That's why seasonal wardrobe needs to be carefully thought out.  Gone are the days of just buying it because "it's cute".  Lets focus on how to prep for the season especially when it's sooooo not fall-like outside.
