✈️ The Thing Every Parent Needs Before Leaving Town

You know that moment when you’re about to leave for a trip and suddenly think…
“Wait… does the sitter actually know everything they need to know?” 😅

Our friend Kat Morga of Adventure Smarter — a Mt. Juliet travel advisor, mom, and someone literally heading to Alaska soon without her kids 😂 — created a FREE Parent Departure Kit to keep all those important details in one place:

📋 schedules
💊 medications
📞 emergency contacts
🚗 pickup info
🔐 house codes
…and all the little things you don’t want to answer while trying to relax on vacation.

It’s free, fillable, reusable, and honestly kind of genius.

Good morning mt juliet! Just a heads up… there will be no Friday Edition of the Buzz this week. I asked the boss if I could unplug for a few days, kick off summer with the family and go on a vacation for a bit… and surprisingly, the boss approved! (For transparency: I am the boss. The approval process was intense. 😆) We’ll be back the next week fully recharged and slightly sunburned.

In today’s mt juliet buzz:

🚚 Making a big purchase soon? Don’t forget the truck.

One of the most overlooked local hacks in Mt. Juliet? Affordable local truck rentals from our friends at U-Stor-It + Budget Truck Rental.

Whether you’re picking up a new couch, patio furniture, appliances, a grill, or finally grabbing that lawn mower… having the right truck can save you a major headache (and probably a few awkward text messages asking friends for help 😅).

Josh and his team make the process simple, local, and easy — whether you need a quick local rental or a one-way truck for a bigger move.

🎥 Check out this video of Josh and all he has to offer.
