It is a tradition during the month of our Blogaversary to ask a couple of our favorite bloggers for a list of Se7en + 1 “anythings…” Things they love or things they loathe!!! Best books, best blogs, things you love about blogging, best outings, best ice-cream flavors, places to visit, best foods, fun traditions, habits, kid stuff you still enjoy, summer fun, winter fun, even se7en +1 favorite words – whatever they like…

Sesame Ellis by Rachel Devine is a photographer, mom, blogger… You have to love her photographs… She blogs about her photography and how she gets that shot… And heaps of photographs of her adorable kidlets… everything to love!!!
I am doing a bit of travel this month, I thought I would go with the first 8 things I would pack!
My se7en + 1 list of Carry-on Suitcase must haves:
- Passport
- Camera – Nikon D3
- Lens for that D3 – Tamron’s brand new 24-70 f/2.8
- Kindle – filled with books
- Asus Transformer Android Tablet for everything on the go (even photo editing and blogging from the road)
- Gummy lollies
- Android HTC One XL phone for instant connection
- The tattered childhood security “blanket” that I treasured which has now become just a scrap of a fabric good luck charm.
and the se7en + 1th thing…
Thank- you so much Rachel Devine of Sesame Ellis for your list and for joining our Celebrity Fun!!! Happy Traveling!!!
