Showing posts with label efficient. Show all posts
I'm away, but wanted to introduce you all to a website I've been using more and more lately. Check out SpringPad and play with it for the next few weeks; I personally use the Weekly Meal Planner, Date Planner, and several others.
When I come back, I hope to post some ways you can use SpringPad in conjunction with SimpleMakes posts. Think one-click grabbing the content from the Efficient Packing List into a SpringPad list you can customize and use as your own!
As I said in the first part of this packing light series, the key to packing light is a personalized, ever-evolving packing list. Yours won't look just like what I use, but here's mine as a guide to writing your own. Use the links to springpad-it and make it your own!
to wear:
* comfy pants
* layered shirts (tie warmer layer around waist if it's not cold yet)
* 4 elastic hair bands around wrist (for braids or repairs later)
* watch with alarm
* pantyliner (if it'll be awhile before I can change, i.e. international flights)
clothes:
* 1 pair sleep shorts OR pants
* shirts (1 for every other day)
* pants (wear 1, pack 1)
* underclothing
* socks (only if bringing sneakers)
toiletries:
* travel-size toothpaste, baby powder, shampoo
* toothbrush, small comb
* husband's earplugs, my eyeglasses (only if destination involves reading, i.e. conferences)
* napkins
* diva cup (only if... well, you know)
first-aid kit:
* bandaids
* allergy medicine
* tummy medicine
* head medicine
* cough drops
* antiseptic towelettes
* small squares of clean gauze
* safety pins
entertainment/electronics:
* journal, Bible, pencil
* 1 book OR 1 craft
* (for longish flights) ds OR iPod
* camera, cell phone
snacks (only enough for the first flight):
* granola
* granola bars
* dried fruits
* crackers
* refillable water bottle - emptied before flight security
etc.:
* money
* ID
* paperwork (official, as needed, plus directions to destinations, letterboxes, books, etc.)
* empty tote back (only if planning purchases)
* charger to electronics
* electronics’ accessories (memory card, ds games)
... and you?
What did I leave out? Comment with your mini-list or modifications to mine. I'd especially like tips from light travelers with kids!
