Traveling with your family can be an amazing experience, but packing for everyone can feel overwhelming. Here are 10 travel packing hacks for moms to make the process a breeze.
1.Make a list and check it twice
A few weeks before your trip, create a master packing list for the whole family. Include everything from clothing and toiletries to medications and entertainment. This will help you avoid last-minute scrambling and ensure you don't forget anything important. Want the ultimate travel checklist for busy mums? Grab my free downloadable PDF checklist here. .
2.Use Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are a lifesaver for keeping your luggage organised. They help you compartmentalise your belongings by clothing type, day of the trip, or family member. This will make it easy to find what you need and save you time unpacking and repacking.
I particularly love these Kmart packing cubes as they are labelled making it a breeze to see what's inside each one (major win!)
3.Wear your bulkiest clothes on the plane
Pack your heaviest shoes, jackets, and sweaters in your carry-on luggage and wear them on the plane. This is really handy if you're travelling during the colder seasons. This will free up space in your checked bags and keep you warm during the flight. You can always pop them in your hand luggage or in the overhead compartment after takeoff.
4.Embrace a capsule wardrobe
For adults, pack a neutral colour palette and focus on interchangeable pieces. A few well-coordinated tops, bottoms, and accessories can create a variety of outfits for the entire trip.
5.Don't forget the entertainment
Pack plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained during long journeys. This could include books, games, small toys,or even a tablet loaded with movies and shows.
Bonus packing tip: Make a packing list for each family member and include it in their luggage. This makes it easier for everyone to find what they need.
