Dear Hotel Chains Across America,
I know it’s all about competition and doing things different than the hotel down the street. But do you think maybe, just maybe, you could all have a group meeting and decide what trial sized toiletries you will be offering? They don’t have to be the same brand; I haven’t completely lost my mind. But maybe you could all agree that you will have little itty bitty bottles of shampoo, conditioner and lotion in the bathroom when I check in.
Because the way it stands now, I’m not sure what will be there. Some of you have shampoo but no conditioner, while others have the 2-in-1 combination (which, thanks but no thanks). Some of you have toothpaste, others have q-tips. Sometimes you offer body wash, sometimes it’s just plain soap.
My point is that if I KNOW what you’ll be offering, that’s one less thing I have to pack. And that would be super. Because maybe if I knew that you would have shampoo and conditioner, I might have remembered to grab my power cord for my cell phone or a fresh bra.
Thank you for your consideration.
Krista
PS. Also? Maybe consider getting some pillows that aren’t as hard as rocks.
If you’re not my mother or don’t follow me on Twitter you don’t know that I spent the night away from baby last night. With a late meeting yesterday and an early meeting today both taking place two hours from home, it made more sense to just spend the night than to drive home. I would have gotten home just in time to put C to bed and left before she was awake and spent 8 hours driving. So. I spent the night away from my baby and Craig stepped into my shoes.
The good news is everyone survived and Craig sent me a picture of my adorable baby smiling early this morning. The bad news? I woke up every hour wondering if she was awake.

awwww. it’s too bad you didn’t sleep well! you would think one night away would be wonderful and just enough to get a good solid 8. but glad your hubby held down the fort!!
That is so sweet! I bet it was hard to be away!
And yes, hotels should always list what hygeine products the provide. It’s super annoying that they don’t.
Oh! I am SO with you on this!! It’s so irritating never to know what will be there. And God forbid you take a gamble and don’t pack the stuff…it is never there when you do it.
Ooh Ehm Gee… YES!!!
I traveled a lot for work before having Emily and not knowing what to pack, as well as the crushing realization that the hotel I was staying in that week was not offering the one thing I forgot to pack was just unbearable! GREAT POST!!!
I had a craving for oreos the other day. So I made dirt dessert and I thought of you as I was eating oreos as I crushed some oreos for the dessert. Although, I made sure Hailey wasn’t close by, so I didn’t have to share the oreos (I’m not as nice as you lol). But she did have some of the dessert last night, and then decided to stay up until 11 pm last night! Oh well, live and learn!
I hope you get to spend extra time with the little one today. And just think, next weekend you get an extra day to spend with her!
YAY for surviving! Little things like consistent hotel toiletries would definitely make a mommy’s night easier!
