The first day of Ambush on the Road is in the books!

So funny... we almost lost Kerry before getting the chance to Ambush her as she was leaving for work when we arrived! Kerry's 11-year old son was in on the secret but her youngest wasn't (they were both less than thrilled to be woken up at 3:10 a.m.)

People always ask me how I get the clothing on location. When women (and men) write in asking for a makeover we ask them to give us their sizes. I then go to Macy's and pull about 50 items that I think will work, and then I ship the box of clothing to the hotel where we are staying (which is usually 10 minutes away).  We bring the clothing that morning when we Ambush. Today all the clothes were sprawled out on Kerry's son Mathew's bed while he went out with his dad and brother so we would have time and space for the makeover. They came home to a whole new mom.

Oh! Gotta go. Plane leaving for our next locations which is ???  See you tomorrow! ...
