So how do you get back from vacation and start into the whole work week again?! Take a whole day to be off and just do laundry for starters!! Below you'll find some of the ways we found to make our transition home from vacation that much easier!
- Clean before you leave-it seems like another thing on the list of to-dos before you go, but by doing a little at a time over the week before you leave, you only have to straighten up lightly if at all when you get in the door with all those bags!
- Put all your dirty clothes in plastic bags that you can just toss down the basement steps or wherever your washer area is and get to those dirties soon!
- Using a cooler like the one above was not only inexpensive but a great way to bring home and keep all those mini-fridge items from the hotel chilled-We also found keeping it in the trunk with a bag of ice per day kept everything super-cold even on 90 degree days!!
- Have a set of clean sheets/pillowcases at the end of the bed or freshly made right before you leave. That first night home in your own bed will never have felt so luxurious! (We had someone stay at our house when we were gone, so it was extra-nice even for them as a guest to come and stay :))
Kick your feet up and relax!! If you can't have the entire day off to do nothing and recover from your long trip home, then make sure you have more things prepared and ready for your return home. A nice setup with candles, (check out these from patylite) a fresh bottle of white wine, and chocolates are a simple way to get relaxed and enjoy the few hours home before getting back into the rush of things again!-I'm sure you can tell I'm not looking forward to it!!
