Hello and happy Thursday everyone! I recently read this article in Self magazine but came across the online version and thought I would share it with you. Since many people will be traveling or eating away from home for the holiday, I thought it seemed timely. What I took away from it was that even though you’re in unfamiliar territory on vacation, there are still many ways to bring the creature comforts of home with you. It’s a great reminder of a little thing called choice.
I myself will be one of those said travelers this weekend. I’m not sure what the Internet connection will be like, so I may not be back until Sunday night or Monday morning. But I’m bringing my camera and will have a full recap of all the festivities. I’m sure many of you have some exciting things planned – have fun 
LOL, you are about 6 months too early with your post title… but aren’t Christmastime songs fun to sing year-round? ;o)
Happy (early) fourth of July to you, my dear!
Oooh yes choice is so important, especially on vacation! And yet so difficult–choosing between an instant but small reward, or a delayed but more substantial reward–especially in the face of hunger! 🙁 I guess that’s what being prepared is all about!
Although I think the woman who hired a personal trainer is maybe going overboard a little?! Honestly, it’s a holiday! 😛
Thanks for sharing yet another great article! Have a great weekend 😀
have an amazing holiday weekend – thanks for posting that great article – i think i read it in the mag too 🙂
Thanks for the article~I love SELF magazine! Have a wonderful weekend…I can’t wait for pictures!
Oatmeal — I thought the same thing when I read that personal trainer bit. Not quite what I have in mind when I think vacation… not to mention I don’t have extra money after already planning out the vacation!
Enjoy the 4th (errr, today) for me everyone… I’m in Argentina so there’s no independence celebrating going on here 🙁
I wish you a holly jolly holiday as well Ms. Jenn!
Have a great holiday weekend!!!
