Traveling: tips, tricks, and must-haves

Traveling can be crazy, chaotic, and all around draining but it doesn’t have to be.

Here are a few tips, tricks, and must-haves that we have found hugely beneficial while traveling, especially when we travel with kids and a lot of them!

#1 Be Flexible

Being flexible helps you prepare for delays, traffic or changes in your plan. I also like to not over plan. This allows for some rest and relaxation during your trip.

#2 Make a List

• Packing your bag
• Travel plan or schedule
• All the extra’s (camera, snacks, etc.)

#3 Pack minimally

• Can you do laundry?
• How many outfits can you make with the pieces of clothing you packed?
• Check the weather for where you are headed
• Pack one container of toys (something that is compactable but classic)
• What does the hotel/timeshare/house provide? (pack and play, high chair, strollers, etc.)

#4 Keep your budget in mind

With a large or small family, the budget is always important. Should you check out renting a home through someplace like VRBO or do you get a hotel room or an extended stay? Do you want to have a place to cook or are you planning on eating out?

Another thing to consider is driving or flying? Will you need to rent a car, for how many people? Is the travel for business or pleasure?

#5 Never forget your essentials

A large part of your costs can be on things that you could have easily packed. Do you have a travel 1^st aid kit, travel oils (grab yours here) with a diffuser and roll-ons, supplements (your vitamins and digestive support), homeopathic kit, etc. All of these things make the little things like motion sickness, ear pain from elevation changes, digestive support from the food you ate, or that unplanned scrape, easy to deal with without interrupting your trip.

Planning a trip for 1 or 10 people does not need to cause unnecessary stress or worry. Make it simple and enjoyable with these quick tips. Which one will benefit you and your family the most?

As always, be grateful & have faith!

God Bless!
