10 Useful Tips to Start Trip Without Stress

Every mom knows it. Preparing to leave for a trip , be it a month or a weekend, requires attention , care and above all a great memory and ability to organize without neglecting any detail.

I would like to help you organize your departure with serenity and tranquility, let's see how:

1. Draw up a checklist . I know it will seem trivial, but it is not. A few days before leaving, you start writing everything that comes to your mind. Write down everything, even what seems impossible to forget because in the chaos that precedes the departure everything is possible.

2. Also write a to do list . Write down everything you need to do before leaving, in order to leave everything in order and thus avoid being stressed a moment after your return home from the trip.

3. Check the validity of all the identity documents you need to leave . To travel in Italy and Europe, an identity card valid for expatriation is required for both adults and children. If you travel outside Europe you will need to check your passport and any necessary visas. I recommend!

4. Pack your bags with everything you need . A trick to make sure you don't forget anything is to go along with your body . Start from the feet to get to the head. It works like this: we start with socks and shoes, follow the pants, underpants, go up again to the vests, the sweaters, the jacket, even higher up we find a scarf and end up with the hat. Calculate exactly the days of stay and do this account for each member of the family. I know, you think she's crazy (and maybe you're right) but it works!

5. Prepare a bag with a change at hand and with everything you need at the last minute . This change is useful for every child, whether it is a newborn or an older child. An unexpected event can always happen: it gets wet, falls into a puddle, pees on it, ketchup splashes everywhere. A change at your fingertips allows you to solve any situation without stress and without unpacking the whole suitcase .

6. Bring some games and some books for your children . They will enjoy themselves during the journey and you will avoid buying new toys once you arrive at your destination. It is always better to choose something that they like very much, with which they play for a long time.

7. Remember all the appropriate electronic devices . I don't know about you, but I am now leaving with my smartphone, tablet, PC and camera. For each of these you must also remember the battery charger .

8.Remember the medicines ! Here is a list of medicines not to be forgotten .

9. Keep the pacifier handy (even better if you have more than one in case it falls or is inadvertently lost), obviously only if your child uses it.

10. Bring water, crackers, biscuits and some fruit with you . It is always convenient to have a small supply of food when traveling.

And do you have any other advice to give me? Because I'm sure I'm still forgetting something
