If you think I have an outfit folder for day-to-day dressing, you better believe I have a process for getting ready for breaks or beach vacations. I hate overpacking or feeling like I’m wasting any time other than relaxing with my family — and I carefully test all items and coordinate to bring accessories that can mix and match with most things. Where I used to just worry about myself, now I have to make sure my beach bag is big enough for all the kids’ toys I’m carrying with me, and that my clothes aren’t going to get sucked into the back of two girls at the pool, or someone sitting on my lap at dinner.
