Once you become a parent you accrue a lot of stuff, a LOT of stuff. Packing to go on a trip no longer means throwing a toothbrush and some clothes in a bag for a spontaneous weekend getaway. You can’t do spontaneous with toddlers, not without a travel packing checklist to ensure you don’t forget to bring any essential items. So whether it is a day trip or a two-week vacation, use this helpful guide and checklist to make sure you have everything your toddler will need.
After I made a vacation packing checklist for kids a number of people asked if I had a checklist for adults. Now I do! The checklist is pretty all-encompassing. What I recommend is to print out a checklist every time you are packing for a trip and then cross out any items you won’t need to pack. Below, I have a lot of packing tips and describe how I go about packing for a vacation. The FREE PRINTABLE packing checklist is at the bottom of this post – just click on the picture and it will take you right to the PDF.
I just got back from the best honeymoon ever! Granted, it has been the only honeymoon I have ever been on, but trust me my obsessive need to plan definitely worked in my favor for this vacation.
After considering a few options, I decided that Costa Rica was the perfect destination for our honeymoon. I wanted a place that would have equal parts relaxation and adventure. Costa Rica definitely meets both requirements.
If you are considering Costa Rica for your honeymoon or vacation I hope my time spent planning helps you plan your trip.
My husband and I had a wonderful time last weekend celebrating the marriage of one of our good friends in Ontario. Since the wedding was on Friday we were able to plan a day trip to Niagara Falls for Saturday before heading back home.
We had a great day, my only regret is that we didn’t spend more time in the adorable town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. If you find yourself in the Niagara Falls region I hope my travel tips below help!
