Actionable Solution
How to Travel With Little Kids
STEP ONE: Make lists. Create 3 different lists. One is the general list of all the things you need to pack. Then a list of all the things you need to pack the day-of, like pillows, passports, toiletries, chargers, etc. Then a list of all the food you need. Make sure to add your kids’ favorite snacks.
STEP TWO: Pack snacks into something fun like easter eggs. Also consider getting fun-shaped foods like pretzels. Vanilla wafers are a fun treat because they taste like a treat without all the sugar.
STEP THREE: Get new toys for the trip. Bonus if you wrap them up so they have a fun time unwrapping them while on the road.
