For many of us the holiday season means traveling to visit loved ones. We all know what that means when babies or young children are involved… packing lots of stuff to take along!!
When family travel is involved, our grandchildren love to get to ride along with Paul and I. So a few years ago when a trip was planned and our granddaughter would be riding with us, I created a checklist in the hopes of not forgetting anything. I’m so much better at packing if I have a list!
I recently turned the list into a printable infographic for you in the hopes that it will help you out in some small way too!
Just click on the link below and the printable form will open up for you.

I plan to take the kids Trick-or-treating. I’ve already got all my spooky decor up and the house is now spooktackular

My daughter’s birthday is on Halloween! We’ll pretty much party all weekend! 🎃🎉🎃🎉🎃🎉🎃
We carve pumpkins and watch scary movies!!!
My kids love Halloween, even if it is raining or cold! Besides going to the pumpkin patch and getting pumpkins, fresh cider and apples, we need to buy costumes, and of course there are the class parties to look forward to! It should be a good time!
My only plans for Halloween are to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
I’m looking forward to trick or treating with our little ones.
Every year we take the kids trick or treating and then we order pizzas from our favorite family owned pizza place. We watch Halloween movies with the kids all night like Hocus Pocus, Addams Family values, Casper the Friendly Ghost, & R.L. Stine’s Monsterville Cabinet of SOuls.
I don’t have any plans other than to spend time with our family and maybe enjoying some yummy food and candy.
I will be taking out my 3 year old and 2 year old while 38 weeks pregnant. Can’t miss the fun.
We go trick treating for the night
We’re planning to dress up and go to a friend’s party for Halloween.

We might travel with my husband for a work trip!
I will stay home to hand out candy to the kiddos. I really like seeing their costumes and how happy they are.
We are not planning to go anywhere for the holidays except to local family members homes to celebrate with them. I think that’s a big part of what the holidays ate about.
We do not plan on going anywhere over the holidays, except to local area relatives homes. I mean being together for the holidays is a big part of what they are all about!
We dont travel far for the holidays our family all live close to each other and we do visit each others homes.
No, no kids here – it will be a miracle if we have a lot of kids show up for trick or treating on Halloween at the door!
Yes, I will be traveling with my son and daughter!
No, I have no traveling plans as of right now.
Nope, won’t be travelling these holiday’s. And definitely not with kids.

No we will not be traveling with kids this holiday season.
thank you
No, these days children travel to see me. Ho ho ho!
Our plans are still up in the air, but part of the time we will be! But not for the long drive on the highways.
I will be traveling with my little girl this holiday season.
I’m hoping that our family will travel to us this year!
No we will not be traveling with children over the holidays.
No we live near our family so we won’t be traveling.
I don’t have children so the answer is obviously no, lol 😉
We are not traveling over the holidays but we have families with children visiting us.
Yes we will actually be driving from illinois to minnesota for Christmas this year with our kids.
We aren’t traveling per se. My oldest daughter is coming up to visit from Florida. She is coming up the 25th to be here for the 1st anniversary of my 22-year old daughter’s suicide. This is a very hard time of the year for us. My middle daughter will be taking Carter our trick or treating but I will most likely stay home.
Janice, I’m so sorry to hear of your daughter’s death. I am so glad your daughter from Florida will be with you through that difficult day. Thank you for stopping by and commenting today. Teresa
We will be hosting family this year so unless things change we won’t have to travel this year for the holidays.
