We’re traveling to Estes Park, Colorado this week, follow along on my insta! I wanted to show you how to pack for a toddler and yourself in one bag, because I’m kinda the packing queen! We’re going to 7 days and I’ll pack all our stuff in one bag. I already posted on how to get through the airport here. So this post isn’t including pack and play, stroller etc.
- Be as hands free as possible. I usually carry my Hermes evelyne cross body but I’m not even bringing that. I’ll bring this backpack (below) which I use as a diaper bag, and if I go out without Finley my makeup bag turns into a clutch.
- PACK LIGHT!- Estes is not the time to pull our all your best clothes and shoes. Pick all your faves that are easy to mix and match-Finley and I both wear a lot of grey and blues, so that’s easy to mix and match.
- One pair of jeans and one pair of shorts is the rule for this trip, with a few athleisure wear pants mixed in.
- I always try to wear my “biggest” shoe to the airport so it’s never packed in the luggage-in this case my Nikes. I’ll pack small, flat slides and my birkenstocks in my luggage. Finley will wear one pair and I’ll pack one pair.
- Don’t pack your whole package of diapers and wipes, take what you need for that day and buy all that stuff when you get to your destination. I also bring a few toys and books that are easy to pack.
