Have a packing list
Prior to stuffing the suitcases, write out a list for each family member with what they should have packed in their bag.
Give a copy to your older children to pack themselves, then just check off the list before you close up the suitcase. Letting them be involved in the process gets them excited about the trip too.
Make the list simple, and try not to overpack. You can always do a load of laundry the hard way during your trip to ensure everyone has enough clothing.
When packing for yourself, streamline outfits. Have bottoms and tops that can go with more than one outfit so you’re not in a bind should you get covered in your toddler’s ice cream cone.
