Packing for a staycation

I just finished packing for a 3-day 2-night staycation over at a hotel in the town area. It is a tradition that my family started to do since 3 years ago. Jaime's birthday is tomorrow and that Christmas is 3 days away!

Packing is always a chore and I would rather read a novel or do a book review.

Why is it that mothers are always packing for the family? Luckily for me, I leave it to my husband to do his packing.

Although it is 2 days, I seem to have endless packing to do. It is much better now that my kids are older. I used to have to cater spaces for diapers, milk bottles and whatnot. Now I have less stuff to pack. If it is for over a week, I would need a bigger suitcase.

Let me share my packing list. Well, you are welcome to copy them down.

I always have the list stored in my notes, because I will always have to pack. =(

Only mums will get it. =')

We are going with my mum and my brother. So I am sure my mother will pack extra snacks for the kids. I kinda stop packing snacks for them if my mum is around.

Jasper

Full cream Milk (3 pkts) 1 pyjama set 2 sets of clothes 1 jacket 1 Towel and 1 hand towel Water bottle

Jaime

They are old enough.)
