Packing for France.....Miss 4

We will be soon going on our summer holidays....while I feel the summer has flown by and I can't believe the girls are back to school in two weeks it definitely has been a long wait to go on our holidays. We normally go earlier in the summer and I don't think I could wait this long again.

So with holidays comes endless packing. Packing for a family of five is a challenge and they key is to be ORGANISED!

I make lists and lists, but what helps is I keep my list from the year before and work from that, making a new list but using the old one as reference.

We are only going for a week this year and two of those days will be on the Ferry, so I have to pack an overnight bag for the Ferry, a next day bag with swim clothes etc. and then the regular suitcases for the week.

I have decided on 8 full outfits per child, plus pool/beach wear & nightwear.

Here are Miss 4's outfits.
