HOW TO SURVIVE A FAMILY CAR TRIP - A SURVIVAL GUIDE

Now whether you are preparing for a short car trip or a long one I decided to make my own jam packed survival guide for a family car trip. 

1. Get everyone to make their own back pack. This can be an excitement in itself for the kids to pack their own bags and decide on their own entertainment - saves you having to decide on how to keep them entertained. 

2. Snacks and I mean lots of them! 

Maybe pack a small bag of family snacks to share and allow every member on the car journey to collect and pick their own car snacks but of course sharing is caring so few little swaps won't be such a problem to ;)

3. Make a family music playlist, get everyone to pick five songs and put them all together for the trip saves bringing many devices just for the music.

4. Car games yes simple car games are a great way to keep entertained for a while.

5. Just relax and think. Some thinking time won't do anyone any harm allow the car journey to be a little bit of a reflection time for yourself. 

6. Download some apps, a little bit of screen time is ok maybe some games, puzzles or books to read.

And if this does not keep you entertained then you can always play i spy or count cars :) haha!!!

But most of all enjoy the family time, the smelly trumps and fighting little ones :)
