🐣 How I (Accidentally) Became That Person Who Packs Like a Pro

aka: Surviving the Easter Holidays—One Pouch and Snack at a Time

The Easter break is here, which means two things: chocolate for breakfast is socially acceptable, and the kids are home for two whole weeks. Between spontaneous outings, short getaways, and the daily why-are-we-always-packing grind, I realized... I might have actually nailed this whole travel-ready, mom-on-the-move routine.

I don’t know if it’s because the kids finally need less stuff or I’ve just reached packing enlightenment, but this year’s Easter prep felt oddly smooth. My Bindi Atelier backpack? Stuffed with snacks, water, a scarf for the unpredictable spring weather. everything is all packed up—even the Tonie box and the dog’s food measured out like a pro.

My trusty pouches keep all the chaos in check—chargers, lip gloss, retainer, teddy bear, hair claws... you name it, I’ve got a system.

Jewelry? Safely stashed in my mini box, because even if I’m just going to the lake for the afternoon, I still want to feel like me.

My go-to tip for holiday survival? Make a list (and actually keep it), pack a few days early, and throw in one wildcard item just in case—because spring can’t decide who she is. And no matter what: bring snacks!

Happy Easter, and may your suitcase zip the first time.
