Preparedness Project - Travel Bag Organizer!

Vacation Time is almost here . . . Time to load the

suitcase and hit the road!

Don't you just love packing?!?

It seems like we spend alot of time organizing everyone's

clothes, trying to make sure that everything is in perfect order

and within minutes of arriving at our destination,

it looks like we just grabbed a load of unfolded laundry

and threw it into the suitcase!

This should help and it's SUPER EASY!

You Will Need:

2 1/2 Gallon Sized Ziploc Bags

(Gallon Sized Ziploc Bags are Perfect for Babies.)

Dryer Sheets

4 Large C-Rings

Hole Punch

and

Packing Tape

To Make the Travel Organizer:

Use the packing tape to reinforce the bottom of the ziploc bags.

Use the hole punch to put 4 holes into the bottom of the bags.

Repeat this process 6 more times.

(7 Total Bags . . . 1 for each day of the week.)

I just used 2 bags for the example.

Hook the bags together using the C-Rings.

Add 1 fresh dryer sheet to each bag.

Here's How It Works:

Put a full outfit into each bag along with the dryer sheet.

At the end of the day, just refold the dirty clothes and

put them back into the bag with the dryer sheet.

Now the clean clothes aren't mixed with the dirty clothes,

and the dirty one's will be refreshed by the dryer sheet.

You can do a quick check to make sure both socks,

belts, and other accessories are not left behind.

The travel bags fit easily into a suitcase or duffle bags.

And . . . They're Reusable!

I have been using mine since 1992 and it's still

hanging in there!

I made one for each member of my family.

I included days of the week cards to help keep my family

organized through the whole vacation!

Note the COLORS?!?

Here's the PDF:

By The Way . . . This is a great option for

72 Hour Kit Clothing.

It makes rotating clothing sizes very easy.

I put the whole outfit into 1- 2 1/2 gallon sized ziploc bag

with a dryer sheet.  I add a sizes and contents card

as well as a dryer sheet and when it's time to rotate,

I just move the older kids clothing to the younger sibblings.

(I have all boys . . . so it's perfect!)

Here's the 72 Hour Kit Contents Card PDF:

I just laminate the cards and use a

Permanent Sharpie Marker.

When I need to make changes, I use alcohol and the

ink wipes right off so the cards are reusable as well!

It's my Collin's Birthday Today,

so I'll post the Day Keeper Part 3 on Friday

instead of today!

Happy Birthday
