Why is leaving before a long (or short!) trip so stressful? I always picture the scene in Home Alone, as the family wakes up late and is rushing out the door. That seems to be my life before every trip. Sure, they forget their son. But does it always have to be so chaotic? I feel this pain loud and clear, so to help, I created a few packing lists to get me out the door more quickly, including a week before list, day before, and the day of. Being organized makes all the difference
Today, I am sharing with you Before you Leave – the week of packing list, so you can start prepping and planning well in advance to leaving on your vacation or trip.
Why this is helpful
Beginning early to prep for a trip doesn’t mean you have to start packing a week before. The prep can and should be all the tedious and little things you don’t want to stress about getting done as your vacation draws near. The more prepared you are the better, that way you can truly enjoy stepping away when you’re ready. So let’s get started on making your trip as easy and stress-free as possible!

How to access this list
Simply click on the link below to access and print the PDF. It’s that simple! No stealing your email, no quiz to go through. This is my gift to you, and over the coming weeks I will be sharing more of these lists with you in hopes that prepping for your trip, and bringing your Pack This Journal along, will make for a more satisfying holiday experience. Enjoy!
