Yesterday was my birthday and I had a great day which I’m so thankful about considering last year’s birthday left a little something to be desired. Not only did I get to travel in my vehicle BY MYSELF for two hours (an hour each way) to visit a friend blasting my music and singing at the top of my lungs (really I can’t even remember the last time I got to do this!) but I also got to go to my happy place and do a little organizing. After lunch it was off to the spa for a much needed massage and let me just be clear here, until you’ve had your butt massaged you really haven’t lived. No kidding.
My family gave me a beautiful cake stand called Crazy Daisy, isn’t that such a great name! I just love the pattern of it, it reminds me a little of my blog!
So in honor of my birthday and the approaching summer holiday season I have a little gift for YOU. Finally, with a little help from Melanie at Blogging Basics 101, I have figured out how to include pdf documents (you may be sorry, have I mentioned how much I love lists?) in my posts.
I created this simple Family Travel Checklist for my own summer travels last summer. I wanted a checklist with columns for each person in the family so I could remember specific items for each of us. It worked really well. I do hope it helps you as well. Thank you for coming here day after day and putting up with my freakness. I do appreciate each and every one of you!

The travel check list is just what I’ve been looking for! We’re taking our first family trip to Atlanta the first week of October and I’m trying to plan early. I’m flying alone with my 1 and 3 year olds! Eek!
Happy Belated Birthday! Glad to hear it was a good day!
Thanks for the checklist. Perfect timing since this very thing kept me awake at 4 am running through a mental list in my head!
Happy Birthday! I do love that cake stand, perfect colors.
Happy Birthday Laura! That cake stant is GORGEOUS, I love the design and the colors :)
This will be great to use. Thanks!
Oh, wow, I love that cake stand! Any idea where they got it?
Your husband got that for you, hey? hee hee hee Love it!
THANK YOU for that list … it couldn’t come at a better time!!!!!!
Thanks so much for the checklist, Laura! We’re doing several mini-trips this summer and this list will come in very handy!
Oh hallelujuah! I am planning a big vacation in December and I was hoping I would come across a list like this! Thanks Laura!!! First my menu, and now my packing! You are the best!
I love massages! I always tell hubby that a massage gift card is the perfect gift for any occassion for me. Heck, there doesn’t even need to be an occassion, just buy me a massage!
And I agree, the butt thing is awesome, even though it totally freaked me out at first:)
I love the cake plate, it is so cute! I also like the list – now do you have a camping one? Otherwise, I need to create my own :)
Kristy, my hubby just got it at the local jewellry store but if you google crazy daisy up it pops. It appears to be out of the UK.
Katie, yep it freaked me out at first too but I had siatica at the time and it’s the only thing that brought me relief.
Angie, I don’t have a camping one but I’m working on it as we are going camping very soon!
Your check list is art work. Love it. Thanks for sharing!

I love the check list. Oh by the way I am a massage therapist. I was just cracking up about the butt massage thing. It does feel awesome doesn’t it?! It’s unbelievable how much tension we have in our butts.
Happy birthday! What a cute cake plate. The pattern is so cheerful.
Thanks for the pack list. I always appreciate forms!
Happy Birthday! Thanks so much for sharing your talents and inspiration!
Love the plate, very cute!! I also have a family travel check list, I thought I was the only one, lol.
Happy Birthday to you! That is an awesome cake!
Happy Birthday, hope you had a great one. Never heard of a butt massage…
We are planning a trip soon so I will be using your list to help me stay on track. Thanks for this.
I second the freaking out over butt massage idea. BUT it is fabulous. FABULOUS!! It relieves tension in my lower back and legs. F A B U L O U S!
Yeah for lists!
Happy Birthday! :)
Happy Birthday!!!! I am so glad you had a wonderful ME day. I love that pattern also.
Hugs!!
Happy Belated Birthday. My wedding anniversary was today. It’s been a bit of a stressful week so haven’t been able to read your blog in a couple of days. Hope it gets better soon.
Happy Birthday, Laura! Sounds like a wonderful day!
Great list – I’m going to link to it on my blog, if you don’t mind. Aren’t lists wonderful? :-)
Thanks for the checklist. It’s great! Do you have anymore hidden away? ;-)
Laura,
Just today I was struggling with figuring out how to add a PDF to my blog – do you have a link for the article at Blogging 101 that would help me? Thanks!
