My husband frequently travels for business and we love to go along for the ride. Besides work, we really like poking around new places. Familiar places, too.
Pre-parenthood, we'd throw some stuff in the car and leave town for the weekend on a whim. No biggie. 20 minutes to throw things into a suitcase and we were out the door.
But with two kiddos, that type of spontaneity is limited. It's not the kids themselves--they're easy--it's their stuff. The bedding and snacks and diapers and stroller and car activities and extra outfits if they have an accident. It all takes so much more thought now.
Last-minute travel planning is a thing of the past in this house... at least for now. I fought off the structure as long as I could, man.
Here's my new, organized and responsible packing list. Cute cars included.
Sounds fun to travel so much! I can never leave the house quickly!
