MOD MOD MOD ok so im going to my mom's house in a couple of weeks and i'm not sure what to pack and how much. I'm going for 2 months and we are going camping during that time and im only alowed to bring one suitcase. So how should i pack?
Thanks for answering my question in advance.




Hey girl,

    Bring some shorts, jeans, and tops that you can wear both during the day and at night. Also, bring some summer dresses, a couple pairs of sandals and flip-flops, and then a pair of sneakers or hiking shoes for camping. Also for camping, bring a backpack and comfortable clothes that you can walk or hike in. Hope that helps! x0x0

Hey girl,

  I can't exactly tell you everything you need to pack, but some things are a bathing suit, toothbrush, sleeping bag, pajamas, clothes for tomorrow, and anything else you think you may need. Have fun! x0x0
