This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Atlantic Luggage for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

If I am flying to a destination or with or without children, you better believe I am only bringing a carry on suitcase. If I'm driving I still prefer to pack light and usually go with one small suitcase. With four kids in tow, it is just too much to keep track of if we have a ton of luggage, so over the years I have learned how to pack light. Atlantic Luggage with their lightweight and versatile luggage options wants to help you learn how to pack lighter and possibly even win a family trip for four to New York or LA by entering their sweepstakes. Check out the entry info at the end of this post!

1. Roll Don't Fold

I know I have mentioned this in posts before, but it is really is the number one piece of advice I can give you to pack lighter. You would be amazed at how much more can fit in your bag when you roll your clothes instead of folding them. Plus, it helps with wrinkles.

2. Take Outfit Selfies 

In the planning stages when you are trying to decide what to pack, take selfies of yourself in different outfit options. Then, sit down and decide which outfits are a yes and which are a no. This way, you are only packing the items that are essential for the outfits that you want, and not a bunch of extra clothing you will never wear on the trip.

3. Pack Multi-Purpose Items

Try to think of items that can mix and match with others to form multiple outfits. Can that sundress easily go from day to night so an outfit change is not required? Add a cardigan and some jewelry to dress it up, and you'll see that you can get by with one less outfit in your bag.

4. Invest in Quality Luggage

As silly as you might think is, that quality of your luggage can play a big part in being able to pack lighter. Atlantic Luggage offers lightweight and versatile luggage options with features that make it easier for families to travel together. They have a wide range of colors, styles and features like their Link2Go system that allows you to link together multiple bags for one easy one handled bundled rolling. Think how handy that would be with kids.

Atlantic Luggage is roomy too, they have maximized their design to be able to fit the most items in a bag as possible. The 360-degree 4-wheel spinners allow for easy control of the bags too. So, when you're packing lighter, you can also roll smarter with Atlantic Luggage.
