We\u2019re going to show her FWP template set, Our Summer Calendar<\/a>,\u00a0AND talk about a new sale that we\u2019re going to do this upcoming Tuesday!\u00a0Need a fast and easy way to scrapbook your summer?

I’ve seen so many cute layouts made with these templates, and I love how easy they make it to document all our fun summer activities! I had to ask if Janet scrapbooks; here’s what she said:<\/p>\n

Yes, I scrapbook, but over the years it has ebbed and flowed. In the 13 years I have been digital scrapbooking, I have created over 2000 pages.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another question I had to ask was if there were any layouts that jumped out at her from her Designer Inspiration gallery lately. And if so, to share a page or two and the scrapper with us!<\/p>\n

Finally, for a little fun . . . I know you’ve done a lot of traveling with your family; what are your top 5 hacks\/tips for traveling with kids in tow<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Don\u2019t be afraid. Yes, it can be a lot of work and a little daunting, but it is ALWAYS worth it. I\u2019ve met too many people who waited to travel until their kids were older, only to find out that older kids = busy schedules, making it almost impossible.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. It doesn\u2019t have to cost a lot! Sure, some of my travels look exotic (Bali, Lombok, Malaysia, etc.) but we lived in Asia, so traveling to those places was inexpensive. Now that we live in the States, those locations aren\u2019t a possibility. But we still travel a lot, mostly camping since it is what we can afford with a family of eight.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Vacations can be stressful and my theory is that this is because on a trip, thousands of decisions have to be made. Where to eat? Where to stay? What to do today? Where is ________ (bathing suit, phone charger, etc). One way we have beat the stress is to do the same trip again and again. Our family favorite is a campground in Florida, right on the beach. By going to the same place (and even the same camper spot), we eliminate all the decisions. We KNOW what we are doing. This allows us to enjoy the trip rather than using precious brain power for decision making.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  4. My dad always told me, \u201cWatch your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.\u201d I think this applies to traveling, too. Things like Starbucks, fast food, and a quick stop for ice cream can really add up on a trip (and therefore adding more stress). To combat this, we plan and prep. We bring a lot of food with us in the car and we know that if we are going to stop, we know exactly where (usually Little Caesars since it\u2019s cheap and feeds us all!) and what we will get. We buy McDonalds coffee, which is actually really good, and our ice cream treats are 50 cent Wendy\u2019s Frostys.<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  5. For every \u201cgo-go\u201d day, we plan a down day. When we did our six week road trip across the U.S., we planned about three days of being busy (traveling, visiting with friends, site seeing), and we would plan a down day when we didn\u2019t have to go anywhere or do anything. It allowed us to regroup and really be ready to go again!<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that we\u2019ve gotten to know Janet a\u00a0little better, I get to show off her products that will be on sale next Tuesday! I\u2019ll show them all to you today and then you\u2019ll have a few days to get them into your cart and have it all ready for Tuesday. Are you excited?! It\u2019s a lot to take in so scroll slowly. ?<\/p>\n

    And we can\u2019t just look at her products without seeing some pretty inspiration from the gallery, right?! I wandered through the gallery and found some great inspiration from our members using these kits.<\/p>\n
