Our friends at Wanderlust and Lipstick have a new book on the shelves: Traveling with Kids is filled with tips from expert authors Michelle Duffy and Leslie Forsberg, as well as anecdotes from more than 40 other moms.
The general guide is geared toward parents who are new to traveling with children. In fact, the book would make a nice baby shower gift for soon-to-be parents who would like to keep up their on-the-road lifestyle but aren’t sure how that’s going to work with a little one in tow. Chapters include everything from Pre-Trip Planning to Flight Plans to Responsible Travel, which focuses on teaching your children how to respect other cultures and respect the environment.
I like the book’s master packing list, which reminded me I need to update the list I keep on my hard drive. I think it dates back a few years, when I was still packing water-wings and sippy cups for my preschoolers! (The kids are now 7 and 9.) And because I am a list fanatic, I also appreciate the 200 “essential websites” for travel planning and buying gear that makes travel easier (like my beloved Klutz activity books).
