Lo & Sons Travel Bag

So as a continuation of my last travel post, I thought I'd share about this bag that I'm slightly obsessed over.... I've been dying for one of Lo & Sons The O.G. Bag, which stands for the "Overnight and Gym Bag." It's perfect for traveling (and for the gym - can't forget about my New Year's Resolutions!) and you can fit SO much in this bag!

As a college student, it is very much out of my price range for now, but they often do giveaways on some of my favorite blogs! I've tried entering a few times and I thought I'd let you all know about this giveaway on A Piece of Toast blog that ends tomorrow (Friday, Jan. 25th) at 5 p.m. CST if you'd like to enter too!

If I got picked I'd want the plum bag so it could match my black carry-on suitcase for my family vaca this summer!! (Destination: TBD)

This is a picture of me attempting to close my suitcase two summers ago in Italy. See what I mean... I would have loved the adorable O.G. Bag to help me carry all of my things! And probably pack a little more efficiently!

I went ahead and entered the contest, but wanted to share the love! Good luck everyone:)

How To Pack Light

My family tries to take a trip once a year together and we've had some wonderful times and memories together!

Some of my favorites have been to Canada, Yellowstone National Park and two summers ago we traveled to Europe! We went to France and Italy and they were absolutely beautiful! There's something so intriguing about the mix of history and God's beautiful earth.

The thing I always struggle with though is packing light! A friend of mine pinned this on Pintrest and I found these tips to be really helpful and I wanted to share! So here are 10 great tips from marieclaire.com to help you pack lighter (and smarter) for your next trip!

We're currently discussing our next family vacation... any suggestions??

Here are a few pictures from our family vacation to Europe:

I'd love your comments, questions, concerns and feedback anytime:)
