How to pack a toddler For A Week On The Road

Hi everyone!!  We are finally here and all settled in for our first full day of vacation!  But it took A LOT to get us here!  I always think I have everything organized (in my head of course) so it won't take much to get us all packed up.  yeah right!  hahahaha!!!!!  There is always so much to do!  I'll share some of my packing hacks that actually have worked for us (and save you the millions of fails!lol)

FIRST: Pack For Ashlyn

I start by paying out everything that I want to take for her.  Pajamas, lots of t-shirts & shorts, a couple of play dresses, swim suits, diapers, socks & a couple of "going into town" outfits.  I know she's going to be playing in the dirt & getting super dirty so I have to find that balance between enough clothing and bringing every single thing she owns!   And the swimming suits are my weak spot.  I love them all!!  Truly she only needs maybe 2-3 but I pack all 6.  I mean, ya never know what suit you'll be in the mood for, right!

In next step, Ashlyn comes through and destroys each pile one by one and runs around with things on hangers (see middle pic). lol.  so much for that! hahaha  So now I just have a mess of clothes that need to be re-folded & organized!

After chasing her around with each item of clothing, I arrange them in these perfect little bins I got a Target for $.99 each!!!!  TARGET FOR THE WIN!!!  They are just the right size to hold all of her things & they stack so nicely in the RV!

I was so in love with these Target boxes that I also use them in the kitchen to pack her snacks & pouches.  It saves me so much room since we have such limited storage space!  They also work nicely for spices & condiments!  And did I mention they are only $.99 each!!!!!
