Travel Checklist for Kids
Travel Checklist for Kids
When getting ready to travel, I always feel like I’m going to forget something. When I travel by myself, it’s one thing but when I’m trying to pack for 6, forgetting something is inevitable. I’m definitely a checklist kind of person. I love to be organized and have things that I can cross off. So when you travel with kids, try making a checklist.

Whew! What a list!!
My husband usually says anything that we forget we can usually pick up at a store. But if we remember the important stuff, that’s a lot of money we can save while traveling. The last thing we want to do is spend money on something that we have at home but just forgot.
