In reply to Shani | Sunshine & Munchkins. Sometimes we moms read tips and store them in our heads, ready to use them when we need them!

I’ve heard this hack before but we haven’t done any traveling with our kids recently so we haven’t done it yet! But it’s definitely in the back of my mind for our next trip..

In reply to Vicky. That is so smart! I hadn't thought of doing it that way. I also like the idea of unpacking everything into drawers but keeping it all organized in there. Thanks for the idea!

In reply to Samantha Leigh Kresz. True, ziplocks are so helpful for travel. In addition to the outfit ones I usually pack a few extras because they always come in handy when we're on a family vacation.

In reply to Justine. Ah, I hadn't considered combining the kids' outfits. I think they might revolt, haha—or the younger one might try to wear the older one's clothes!

In reply to Raina. Yes! It makes packing (and unpacking) so much easier.

I do this too!! I started when my daughter was 4 months on our first trip, and It has been a life saver, especially with kids! And they are reuseable too!

We do this same system, it’s such life saver! Although, I usually pack each of the kids’ outfits for a day into one bag, so I can just pull out the bag for that day. But as they’re getting bigger it’s starting not to fit as well.

ziplock bags are so great for travel. I love that they are so cheap, come in multiple sizes and you can see through. Such a great hack!

I do this exact thing only I use large plastic bags and do one for each day. So I will put the complete outfit for each kid (place a post it with their name on it) place multiple outfits in the same bag for a day. When I unpack, I just place the entire bag in the drawer and on a Monday I just open the Monday bag and give each kid their outfit. So easy!

In reply to Marlynn | UrbanBlissLife. I've been thinking about getting some packing cubes for myself for an upcoming trip. I keep hearing people talk about them and how much they help packing organization.

In reply to Erin @ Platings and Pairings. They're basically the best organizing tool out there!
