Road Trip Prepping: How I travel Alone with 3 Kids

We are finally back home from our road tripping adventures! As many of you already know, due to KP's work schedule, I travel alone with the three kiddos often. And I do so fearlessly. These kids seem to be bred for it! 

I wanted to share a few tips and tricks that I use to make the trip nice and smooth. 

First, FOOD! I mean, what would a road trip be without it? We pack bag of dry food as well as a cooler of cold food and drinks. (Striped bag is our beach bag already packed with bathing suits, extra clothes etc.)

I bought our blue, insulated bag from Costco. It is perfect! The zipper opens up wide so you can see everything at once. 

We use a "cup system" for loose snacks like the kid's favorite "Pirates Booty". Soft items like granola bars and crackers are placed in tupperware to keep them from getting smooshed. It also makes it easy for quick finding! 

We use this Pampered Chef tool to make our own "Uncrustables". Saves money, no big messes and fits perfectly in this tupperware! 

My kids love these custom lunchables ;) They find them so delicious! 

That's the food. Onward to activities! 

I created a Wanderlust Jr. travel journal for my oldest (8) and she loved it! Along with this printable I created I also printed up crossword puzzles, travel BINGO and other fun printables I knew she'd love. I also add a few sheets of card protector sheets with ziplock bags for her to add tiny keepsakes in! 

 

Both of the girls' binders, food trays, games and other toys were added into my Dollar Tree basket and placed between their car seats! 

 The trip went so well and the kids were all happy! I couldn't have asked for them to be better behaved!
