Viral Packing Hack. I think I’m a bit late to the party on this one but better late than never. Trying this viral packing hack for our upcoming trip. Not gonna lie, I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner, especially for our Disney trip, but I’m doing it now. It’s super easy and made packing up their stuff so much more organized. I’ve been seeing this all over Pinterest and as a “mom hack”. I order this 28-pocket organizer from Amazon and it does the job for our one week trip.
Essentially you just put what your kid is going to wear for the day in each pocket. If your kids are smaller like mine, you can get away with only needing to order 1 organizer. I could also fit 3 swimsuits in one of the pockets for Cora. I packed Cora’s stuff on the top half and Carter’s stuff on the bottom half. Once all of the clothes were done (pajamas and swimwear included) I used the bottom row for shoes. Thankfully we are going somewhere warm so not too many shoe options needed and the clothes aren’t bulky. For the record, I fit this organizer into a 21 inch carryon that I use for the kids.
Use whatever method works for you to get the job done. I’ve seen some people put an entire day’s worth of clothes in each pocket. So day outfit, pajamas and such in one pocket. I did not do that. Underwear goes into either the diaper bag or a carryon just like the needed amount of diapers for travel. I always just buy a pack of diapers when I reach my destination because it’s one less thing to pack. Another great thing about this organizer, just use the hooks that come with it to hang in a closet when you get to your destination and no need to worry about “unpacking” or scrambling for what your kid is going to wear each day.
Let me know if you give this packing hack a try.
