    Wowza! I speak as a person without kids - that is not packing, that is a military operation and an incredibly well organised one at that.

    I packed by day as well like this! As a tip, instead of rubber banding the clothes I always fold either the shirt or pants over so the kids can open the bundle by themselves. Have so much fun!!

      Another tip is to wrap the socks around all the clothes (1 per extremity, as if you'd put them on a feet), in order to form a big compressed roll ^^ I always do that when I backpack somewhere but don't have much space. My brother also learnt almost the same thing in the army !

    The sliding door lock for pool safety and the Benadryl in case of allergic reaction are really great ideas❤

    Praying for safe travels for you all. I’m so happy that you are all able to do this. I can’t imagine the cost and the work that goes into it beyond what you just showed us. Who gets to care for the animals? Love to you all.

    Angie please don't take this as mom shaming in any way but those head straps cause internal decapitation if you were to get into an accident. It could even cause issues if you stopped too quickly. Their heads falling down are fine. If they don't like it they will move their heads. PLEASE don't use those on your children.

    Great organization. ❤👍🏽That's the way I used to organize my children's clothes, especially my son's, when we used to go camping and also for flight. I love games for myself as well, but get car sick, so Dramamine helps so much.
    I love this. ❤Thanks for sharing.👍🏽

    I’d love to hear what you thought about the Transit versus the NV. We have 9 kids now (foster/adoptive family) and are considering swapping from our NV to the Transit. We travel from GA to the upper peninsula of Michigan annually.

    • @nygal80
      @nygal80 2 роки тому

      We chose the NV for more towing capacity and a 4x4 conversion. We rented a Transit and were disappointed in the driving ability and comfort. Our friends have the XL transit though and it does provide a lot more cargo space!

    • @shannajohann6840
      @shannajohann6840 2 роки тому +1

      I’ve had both the NV and now have the transit. Both are great but the transit is by far my favorite. It drives more like a car or minivan, where the NV is like driving a tank! I also love being able to stand up inside (we have the mid-roof). We have a towing hitch on both vehicles and use a pod that goes into the hitch to carry luggage. Neither vehicle has much luggage space. They only advantage of the NV is the seats are more easily removed and can go in many configurations.

      @@angela.braniff Ah! Do you love it? We have a Transit and 7 kids (and we foster so sometimes there are 8-10), but are looking to get an NV instead. I love, love my Transit and am sad to see it go, but it cannot pull the 34’ RV we just bought and the NV can. I’m going to miss the trunk space. We bought the 15 passenger and took the back row out and it makes so much cargo space! Also love the vinyl flooring with all these messy kids….especially in winter slush.
