Going on a trip? These colored mesh laundry bags I found on Amazon are key to making this trick work.

It used to take me a full day to pack up my four kids. Then we'd get to our destination and I'd realize I forgot so and so's "this" or so and so's "that". Not to mention, each kid would have their own suitcase or bag, which made packing up the car juuust a little more stressful!

I found these mesh bags on Amazon (linked here) and it has helped our big family a ton!

Each kid is assigned a color. Then I pack one full set of clothes in each mesh bag.

I always pack one extra full set of clothes just in case too. Then I dedicate one bag to the extras, for example- long pants, sweatshirt, and bathing suits.

For my baby, I dedicate one of the bags for sleep sacks. For my daughter, I use one bag for her hair comb, and detangling spray. After all the bags are packed, I layer the mesh bags in one by one. I like to keep 3 colors stacked in the base of the suitcase. For the last color, I place it overtop the organized stacks.


And voila! Noone’s clothes are getting mixed up, and the suitcase closes with ease!
