July seems to be the month of family travel, whether you're headed overseas or road tripping across the US it seems we are all gearing up for some fun family adventures. If I am being totally honest, traveling with little kiddos can be a bit stressful! So it is crucial to be prepared so things go smoothly. Below I have curated a few things that keep me sane, and even fun while traveling with my crazy crew.
Love these in the car and in restaurants on vacation. Great for little kids!
On travel days we rid of all screen time rules! We watch movies, tv, and play gameboys! For our TV loving girls, this makes a travel day soooo fun and special. To make it go smoothly some great headphones are key. I like wired ones so I don’t have to panic when it won’t connect and I don’t have to worry about the battery running out on a long journey.
Snack Stash: Cute Cold Pouches!
Snacks! Another rule that gets suspended on travel day - any limit on snacks! We will avoid hangry kids (and husbands!) at all costs! While I do let them go a little nuts when we're on a plane (snack cart galore), I also like to pack some healthy-ish options too. My go-tos are clementines, and babybell cheese. We also love the Ritz PB snacks.
When we are road tripping we always have a cooler too! This is because my husband is from Iowa and people from Iowa do not travel by car without a cooler full of goodies ;) Yeti’s are heavy so I have my eye on a new wheeled one!
Comfy Outfit for Mom!
Comfort is key when traveling, and so are layers!! I love wearing our activewear when I travel because it looks polished but feels good, and let's be honest traveling with kids is a sport! My go to outfit is the Lorna Polo Top in Navy, The Sherri Skort in Royal Navy and White, and an added Supersoft layer with our Shea Polo in White!
Perfect for our traveling moms: Make It A Set: Buy one piece, get another 30% off when shopping our Mix + Match sets. Use code: SET30.
Same goes for my girls! Soft stretchy styles with added layers are a must for long car rides! My two oldest will be matching in the Abigail top with blue blossom leggings! We always bring an added layer for them as well. Our Rue pullover or Jax Quarter Zip are my favorites!
