Just like last summer, this one will be a very busy time for us as we will be traveling a lot with our family. We are looking forward to spending time with our relatives and getting to have some rest and relaxation.
As we prepare for our time away, I’ve decided that I will create a detailed packing list in excel, broken down by person and type (i.e. bedding, food, clothing, etc.) It will make my life that much easier during the days up to us leaving as there is nothing worse than running around the house trying to figure out what you need to bring!
Below is a list that I’ve created (after spending too many hours researching lists online) and I hope that it helps as you prepare for your summer trips and vacations.
Feel free to share your thoughts and tips on packing for your little one(s)!
