Pack an extra shirt

Tuesday Travel Tips
Pack an uni-sex shirt in your bag/purse.
While you’re at it try to pack a pair of grey or blue sweat pants too. Try to find a shirt that would fit any of your kids. Something any of them would wear without shame.
What’s it for? Spills, accidents, vomiting incidents. If you’re traveling by car, who wants to start unpacking all the luggage to get a replacement shirt? If traveling by air, well you’re kinda out of luck aren’t you?
If your child can spill a drink all over the front of herself, she will. (There’s some sort of Murphy’s law to sippy cups, those that work perfectly at home will suddenly not close completely on the road.) If your child is a messy eater, he will somehow get his whole lunch over the front of him. If your child even thinks about vomiting, (you know they can make themselves do it right?) he will.
Theres no better way to contain the stressful moment than whisking out a dry shirt and sweat pants to replace the trashed garment(s).
If you have little ones under 3, you might as well pack yourself an extra shirt too!
