We, like many of you, are gearing up for Spring Break in a few weeks! We’re excited to be heading out on vacation up to the North West. While we have been eagerly planning our adventure from things to explore and places to see, it occurred to me that we may need to do a little shopping before our trip to make sure we have the kids covered.
I went into Osh Kosh and can I just tell you, I was able to outfit both kids with such cute clothes for our trip!
They have the most adorable looks for Easter.
And their T’s… I can’t you guys. I mean, so cute right?
Jeans in all colors and fits. I love how they are able to cover so many different styles for kids all in one place!
There are a few different things to consider when packing for the kids for Spring Break and so I figured I’d share as a little reminder. (Us parents have to stick together and who couldn’t use some reminders every once in a while?)
- Spring weather can be all over the place. Even in Southern California there are days when its warm and the kids will want to be in shorts, but then there are days when its chilly and they should be in pants and jackets. Make sure to check out your destination and plan accordingly.

- Swimsuits. Don’t forget to pack a suit. Its not Spring Break unless you get in the water somewhere! 🙂 Its also a great time to shop for new suits with new sizes. If your kids are anything like mine, we’re not only grown out of the suits from last summer, but they beat up all their suits to where I have to throw them out at the end of Summer! (Umm, how cute are those boys rainbow trunks??)
- Last tip that has served us well when traveling is to have all the clothes color coordinate. I love to bring shirts that match or coordinate with most if not all the shorts and pants. Makes life for the kids and the parents so much easier if they can pull something out and not have to dig around to find something that works.
Simple but helpful tips when packing this Spring Break and then you’ll have some HAPPY stylish kids. 
Osh Kosh is having a great Spring Sale going on right now through March 19th. You can find the coupon here, or if you’re going to redeem online, make sure to use “Spring16”. You can find the nearest Osh Kosh to you HERE.

I recently became a Mom this pass December and even though my little one is just over 2 months old we are taking her to small road trips here in South California. We are trying to take her out to nature and experience it. I know she is small but we will always have those memories of her first road trips!
You are absolutely going to make some fabulous memories. Some of our fondest travel memories are when the kids were babies! SO fun!
We are taking a vacation a few weeks after Easter, so the week of Spring Break (we home school) will be a typical week for us, with a little Easter fun added in of course!
