Homemaker Monday: My Most Valuable Travel Purchase

Since I'm still on vacation, I'm going to do an abbreviated version of Homemaker Monday. Soooooo, here's my tip of the week....

My favorite purchase for summer travel in a 15-passenger van with 8 children? A cordless car vac like the one below...

It's wonderful having a tool that you can just grab to suck up Goldfish crackers from four car seats, beach sand off the van floor, and crumbs off the seat for when guests pack in with you. A vac like this is also perfect for use in hotel rooms for when the kids carry around their muffins taken from the continental breakfast area because there are only two chairs.

 Truly, I'm really enjoying have the portable capability of keeping our surroundings a little tidier. Thanks for listening!
