In case you didn't see the hints on Instagram…we are headed to MEXICO! This is our first “big” trip as a family in a really really long time. In fact, this will be Mory's first time ever on a plane, which is so exciting! As I'm rushing around packing and getting everything ready to go, I thought I'd answer all your questions regarding how we pack for vacation, how we pack our kids, and of course, all our best packing tips and hacks. I'm going to cut to the chase and let the video do the talking, so without further adieu…
Here's a detailed video showing how we pack for vacation!
Watch the video online HERE, or watch below:
So there you go! That's how we do it!
LINKS/PRODUCTS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO:
- The “ScootCase” as Hutch calls it. Note: they are REALLY hard to find (unless you live in the UK). THIS ONE is the only one I could find on Amazon.
- Our snack and lunch system
- Packing cubes – we love these inexpensive ones. They have loads of colors to choose from, and they have held up great for us.
- Mory June portable “Moses Bag” – launching spring 2019! Follow on Instagram HERE to get notice of pre-orders, they WILL sell out fast!
Now…wish us luck on the plane with all those kids!
Gulp.

March 8, 2019 at 6:17 pmMy tip: I always take a collapsible cooler ziplocks so we can easily transport drinks and cold beverages to the beach, amusement parks, etc.

April 9, 2019 at 7:13 amAny advise for pack n plays/cribs and traveling with car seats? 😬 I’m taking my 1 year old and 3 year old to LA by myself and I can’t decide what would be easiest with car seats.

April 26, 2019 at 4:16 pmCar seats are a pain, but luckily you can check them for free so you can keep your hands free for the littles. Good luck with your travels.
