Your Ultimate Summer Packing List

SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS THIS SUMMER

Family travel can be magical… until you start packing. Between making sure everyone has clean clothes, managing snacks, prepping entertainment, and not forgetting your own essentials, packing for a family trip can feel like a full-time job. That’s why I created the Ultimate Travel Packing List for Moms and Kids—a simple, customizable guide that helps you pack faster, stay organized, and actually enjoy the trip you’ve worked so hard to plan.

Whether you're taking a weekend road trip, flying across the country, or heading out on a family vacation, this comprehensive packing list ensures you never scramble last minute again. Moms, this one’s especially for you—because when you’re organized, everyone travels better.

Why You Need an Organized Travel Packing List

Traveling with kids is unpredictable. One minute they’re fine, the next they need a snack, a jacket, a different snack, their favorite stuffed animal, and a Band-Aid… all at the same time. Having a well-thought-out packing list reduces the stress, gives you more peace of mind, and eliminates those “oh no, I forgot ____” moments.

This list is organized to help you think through every part of the trip—what goes in the suitcase, what belongs in the carry-on, and what you need easy access to during travel days.

Using a thoughtful travel packing list allows you to travel with confidence—and gives your kids everything they need to have a great trip. Whether you’re traveling with toddlers, early elementary kids, or a full crew, this checklist helps you avoid stress and stay organized from start to finish.
