Ever feel slightly overwhelmed at the universal parental challenge of getting your young children ready, packed up and out of the house? Us too! Whether it’s just a day trip close by or an extended overnight trip time zones away, it always feels like we start out organized and on track only to end up throwing random needs together into a bag.
A large part of the chaos is clothing; How many outfits should we bring? What kinds of clothes will we need? What if the weather changes unexpectedly? One method that has really worked for us recently is separating out full outfits—from shirts and pants to underwear and socks—and packing each into individual plastic see-through bags. The benefits?
✴Helps you see at a glance how many outfits you have for the days you’ll be gone and what extras you may need to pack.
✴Eliminates unnecessary battles with strong-willed kids who prefer to pick their own clothes out. This way they enjoy the freedom of making their own decisions, but from options that are pre-selected (AKA pre-matched!) by you.
✴Provides you with a few extra bags handy to keep dirty clothes in as well as dispose of not-so-pleasant diapers. One less thing to track on your meant to bring but forgot list!
