Can anyone please tell me where February went??? I cannot believe we are already in March! Just yesterday I was telling you all
about how well prepared I am going to be for this upcoming Albuquerque
I have a check list
of all the things I need or need to replace and am making all my on line orders
by the end of this week.
1) The last
competition I used Nude color garment bags for Leyla’s costumes. I have decided to invest in clear garment
bags so I could see each costume rather than digging through every bag to find
the right costume (and yes, it is always the last one I look in).
2) I need to replace
my rolling clothes rack that I use to hang all Leyla’s costumes on. The one I used last year is a complete
joke!! I did not get the cheapest, but
rather the middle priced Single Garment Rack at Target. This garment rack is difficult to roll around
and it falls apart easily, it also has lots of small parts making it difficult
to assemble and take down. I’m sure I
entertained a lot of the mom’s last year trying to operate the garment rack
without it falling apart! (Soo embarrassing).
I felt a little better when I noticed some mom’s had nothing to hang
their costumes on. Then there were the
super experienced dance moms who were smart and got the expressive garment rack
and had no problem were rolling the rack around, or with pieces of it falling
off. At the end of the day the Single Garment
Rack is a not a good one to purchase for any kind of traveling. The rack was given an early retirement from
the entertainment world and is now being used to hang cloths up that come right
out of the dryer ,so I guess it was not a total loss.
I was doing a goggle search on garments bags and I found a
site called Stage Studio Dancewear website. I found this kick butt dance
bag. This is not an ordinary dance bag
but is a Dream Duffel Medium Package!! I
know you may be thinking, so what??? But
take a look at this bag! For anyone traveling that needs/wants to know what is
in the bag before they open it it’s like a dream come true. It’s everything I need in one. The only problems is I’m not sure if I going
a little over board or if the bag is going to be a big pain to get around. PLREASE let me know what you think. http://stageandstudiodancewear.com.au/index.phpmain_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=286
5) Buy gluten-free food to bring so Leyla and I don’t starve (and have a map of all the stores that sell GF food close to where we are staying).
6) Call the
competition company who holding the event and get an idea of the set up. I heard from another mom that she thinks they
have racks for us to put the costumes on.
Is there anything I’m missing? I sure hope not!!
