Thrifty Mommy

So glad to be home

by kellys on December 27th, 2007

We finally got home on Christmas day around 9:30 at night.  Frugal me and my sister developed a scheme to use only 3 of our allotted bags for my family of 4 for 11 days and the other 3 bags to bring home hand-me-downs from my nephew for Little Man.  I thought it was a great idea!  We saved around $60 in shipping if she had had to ship all those clothes.  We now have a great start on Little Man’s wardrobe until 18 months.  I’m so cheap!  My husband, on the other hand, thought it was ridiculous to pack 6 suitcases right up to the 50 lb limit and try to travel with 2 kids in tow.  I was just impressed that I got all of our stuff in 3 suitcases for 1.5 weeks.

Family was great!  I love going home.  It was wonderful to see everybody again and my Turkey Butt enjoyed her cousins.  I love hearing her say that!
