What I learned......

Yes it has been a month since I went on holidays.
​2 weeks away, it was so relaxing and just what we needed.
When I came back it took me a week to get over the holiday feeling.
Which then makes it hard to get back into the schedule of things.
​The last week I have been settling my younger two into preschool and kinder.
A huge adjustment for everyone, but mainly me.

While we were on holidays we were involved in a car accident, nothing serious, but it made the trip home fun.
​I learned a few things these holidays:
​1. I pack too much shit.
​2. I can survive two weeks with only a quarter of my clothes
​3. we need to cull even more shit
​4. glad we have insurance & even on holidays it's important to know all details

​Why am I telling you this??
​As organised as I am, life can throw things at you. And it made me realise that I really need to cut down on things that we pack and probably need at home.

​I got so used to having the bus and the extra large boot space and all the space in the car.
​So when I had to pack to come home, it was an eye opener to how other people pack and I really do pack too much shit.
​We had a much smaller car and trying to fit everything in, I did have to leave some stuff behind. which we will pick up in march, lucky it was at a place that we could do that.
​It made me re-evaluate   what we really need to pack.

​If I can survive two weeks with only a quarter of my clothes, although most days we were in swimmers. why can't I do that at home??
​So this year I am not going to buy anything new, apart from underwear, unless I really need it.

With all the stuff we took & left behind, we really don't need so much.
​Yes I do cull throughout the year and don't buy a lot during the year, but obviously I can still do better.
​Like at the moment I am using fitted bed sheets as a table cloth, as I couldn't fit in the coast bag.
​So I will be looking at what else can we live without.

​Knowing what your insurance will cover and having on hand all the details that you need. Which was very handy being a long way from home.
​So if you have an accident so you know what your insurance will pay for???
​I might just have to change the hire car policy, as we aren't covered unless we are more then 100km's from home.
which we were thank god.

​So how was your holidays???
