If you’ve ever tried to plan a summer vacation with kids, you know it can be a logistical nightmare that makes wedding coordination seem easy in comparison. No sooner are you 30,000 feet in the air, pumping Benadryl into the kids for some peace and quiet (did I just say that?) than you remember you forgot to water the plants, neglected to put a hold on your mail, didn’t tell your next-door neighbor to keep an eye on the place while you were gone…
Well, it won’t make any of the above any easier, but a new, free vacation planner from family-organization hot spot Time Too will at least help you to keep your head screwed on while you’re getting ready. Available via PDF, this handy tick sheet gives you an easy way to get all your ducks in a row, and it also lets you assign duties to individual family members so you don’t get stuck doing everything yourself. Plus, like we said, it’s free.
Grab Time Too’s free vacation checklist via the link below, and if you’re wondering how you can show your gratitude, visit the company’s online store for a number of other, more in-depth family- and baby-centric planners that actually require you to break out your credit card (2009 Family Trackers, here I come…).
