We were talking about going on vacation with LO today at our playgroup. Someone suggested getting gallon size baggies and labeling them Mon, Tues, Wed, etc. Inside of each, put LO's jammies and outfit for the day - plus all the socks, diaper covers, hats, headbands or whatever that go with it. That way, one you really stop to think if you packed everything you need, and two you don't have to go digging in the luggage to find one of those teeny socks. She also made bags labeled extra clothes and swim wear. I thought this was a really good idea for packing baby up to spend the day/night with the grandparents too since they don't know all of the parts that go with certain outfits. Good way to organize.
Re: Sharing a good idea I heard today...
That is a great idea! Thanks!
