I was chatting on the phone with one of my newest mommy friends, and she was telling me about how she was planning her first “with-baby” trip. I mentioned that I used a homemade packing list and sent it to her. This list was developed over the course of two children and has been refined and revised to meet my needs. I found it to be extremely helpful everytime I pack. I print one out and go through the house checking off items as I pack them. It’s easy, because it does not require me to think about what I need to bring.
My new mommy friend suggested I share the list here, and so here it is. I have also included a new “Mommy Toolkit” (coined by my friend) on the homepage sidebar for easy referencing.
