my parents got an Airstream a long time ago.
and this summer, they got a bigger Airstream.
“would you like our smaller airstream?” they asked, “we’d like to see the country with our grandkids.”
well, yeah.
so here we are, taking advantage of Brett working remotely (and neither kid being in school yet), exploring in this 25-foot Flying Cloud we lovingly named Big Bertha.
and i’ll update this post as we learn the ropes, as we go on trips, as we organize every square inch.
consider this post a place I’m always adding our travel, camping, and small space favorites.
weeeee!
But first:
five things I do before any trip - even Airstream ones - to take care of my Future Self
Now onto a few of our favorite things!
Kids’ stuff:
kk’s summer capsule wardrobe + joey’s summer capsule wardrobe
kk’s swim stuff + joey’s swim stuff
stuff we bring for campground showers
My stuff:
Medicine + First Aid:
because we find ourselves in some remote and rural places, we’re incredibly stocked
three clear acrylic boxes with all our first aid essentials (including dog first aid)
two of these perfect tackle boxes - one for us, one for the kids - with a few medicines we’d like to have on hand, should someone start to feel poorly in the middle of the night
a zipper mesh bag with our Blueberry Pediatric at-home medical kit
Decorating + Organizing:
links to our decor - our rugs, bedding, blankets, pillows, lamps, and towels!
these rope baskets since a lot of our storage space is oddly-shaped
Cooking + Eating + Drinking:
two must-haves: a cutting board stove cover + an ice maker
Cleaning:
Dog Stuff:
our dog first aid, kept with all our first aid essentials
dog shot records kept in one of my favorite zipper bags
Outdoor Stuff:
our s’mores kit - we called this the best anniversary gift
Road Trip Stuff:
things we always have in the car to make our lives as parents easier
the toiletry bag of toddler essentials I always have to throw in a stroller/pool bag/etc
More details and more favorite things coming soon! I’ll continue to update this post.
