Pack to Play

Happy 4th everyone!


We are going on a family trip next Tuesday for ten days and I've already started packing or more like taking inventory to see what I WILL be packing. Is that a little too "Type - A" for you?! Perhaps but when you have to pack for two little ones it's never too early to start AND the thought of me leaving something behind just freaks me out! I've put them in categories this way it's easier to sort; there's day/night wear and beach stuff. I will also try to mix and match items to get the most out of the clothes. I can't forget a few toys and their video games to entertain them during any down time.


I've done the same for myself including shoes, lmao! Oh goodness you guys are gonna think I'm nuts!! And yes I may be packing too much but I like to have choices; I mean my outfits change with my mood. I will be trimming my choices because I will need room for my toiletries, hair/makeup products.

It will be the first time my kiddies leave the US, that makes me a little nervous with all the new security changes and not to mention that I don't like to fly. Last time we went away it was to Disney World and I was in the early stages of my pregnancy. My morning sickness wasn't at it's worse and the heat didn't entirely kill me! I'm just really looking forward to getting away and spending time with my family.

Anyone else traveling this summer? How are you tackling "packing for a vacation"?

    Wow! You're really good at packing! I wouldn't know what to pack. I'm terrible at it so I usually just take as much as possible. I always just think that I may need something that I didn't pack. It's so silly.

    @lexi the bad thing is that I usually OVER pack and then don't have room for any "extras" when we travel - some may say that's a good thing lol

    Thanks for stopping by!
