Travel as a Family |
Playlist lives maybe we'll see some of you there we are crazy busy getting ready to go and I often get the question how do I pack for 5 kids and me and say how do I possibly do that for all the troops that we go on how do I pack so I'm just going to go through a little bit of what I do to prepare the she turns family for traveling are you ready let's get. Okay guys first of all I usually start packing like 2 weeks in advance. Okay. I know I prepare in my mind 2 weeks in advance so I start setting aside outfits that I know the boys are gonna get lost or they're going to get dirty as are kinda setting aside things some kids I'm able to do that but I usually try to do that if I know that a big trip is coming up I start planning ahead buying things setting aside outfits that I know I love on them and so that it's not quite as hard when the day comes the need to pass.
Also trying to get laundry done days in advance is always helpful that doesn't always work but I try to do that so little things they do to prepare beforehand but when the day comes I always make a big list for the kids and I let the 3 older kids pack for themselves. And I know some on their little micro managing their like keenness impact himself put screwed but that's only learned so I looked impact themselves but I always like to go through before we actually go on the trip to see what they pack to make sure they got everything that I want to. In the back alright how did you ladies do today bailout but see. My goodness you're on your back even color coordinating and he's got blue if you give god king hopes you she's got her purse you know I usually know I don't really have to double check on her because she's got super awesome.

They have to pack what would I think 8 outfits Eisenhower 9 outfits it down a hot today. 10.
Okay that's good it doesn't have that chance okay we ought to many but we do want some options. I think it's always helpful to pack not just throwing a bunch of shirts and pants in there but you gotta pack outfits. So you know exactly what you're gonna wherein each day so that you can color coordinate and you make sure you have enough things so pack your outfits 3 pairs of shoes a good sturdy pair. Address the pair and like flip flops.

Hey I reject the dryer okay and I should mention that yes my house is a pigsty and that's sometimes how I leave it to go on a lot of trips and they're all back to back so I do not stress out about it that is one thing that I've decided is I do not derive my self worth and my value from the cleanliness of my house. I know that bothers some of you but you know what that's the way we do around here okay let's go to my neck okayed for my own bad I always like to have a toiletry bag that is just my travel bag because I usually don't have to take stuff out of it after a trip I just have to kind of replenishing pants so I would have a bag that is just mine. For toiletries and I keep. Pack. That's not totally packed I have to replenish but then I have this awesome. I have this curling iron and I have this awesome heat resistant cover that goes on it so that when you have you done curling your hair you can just throw it in there and put it in your bag without burning yourself or Bernie suffer lighting fires.
