The night before I travel I pack all my cosmetics and bathroom supplies. In the morning I follow my normal routine-- out of the packed bag-- this way I know if Im missing anything! It works everytime ;)
That's a great way to do it!
You are a GENIUS. I always save those plastic bags because I felt like I would need them, and I never used them...NOW I CAN...packing cubes!!! You are my hero :))) (and I'm almost through with my latest Tic Tac case...bobby pins, here I come!!!) Have a GREAT trip. There is nothing easy about leaving your little one...but when you get to your destination, you will feel great! Trust me as a mom of 3 grown kids...Carson will be fine!
All the wise moms with grown kids are telling me the same, so I will trust you all ;) Enjoy the last of your little 1 calorie breath mints before it becomes your bobby pin storage, hehe! Blessings and hope you are well
TeriGigi, She is a GENIUS ! And she is AMAZING with all her trick's and tips, I'm so thankful I have her as a friend to teach me all these money saving ideas and trick's, for soooo , soooooo many thing's !
Have fun!! When I left my daughter for the first time it was for our fifth anniversary too! For her, it was easier to not call or video chat because she would melt after and want us. When we stopped, she could be happily distracted by grandmas spoiling and not realize she was missing us!
When I left my daughter for the first time to go overseas, I read her favorite books and recorded them on cassette (yes, it was a while back...). But you can do the same for Carson with digital audio recordings. So every night, I knew I was with her for bedtime stories. Have a great trip. Hubby and I honeymooned in the Bahamas over 20 years ago. You'll love it! Bon Voyage!
I am NEVER dissappointed in your videos! Thank you for all the helpful tips!
It's ridiculous how excited I get when I see you posted a new video. Gonna miss you while you are on vacation! Have fun!
This may not apply to adults, but I always pack my girls (ages 5 and 2) a gallon size bag full of clothes for each day. I bring one bag per day we will be gone, and usually one extra. In that bag goes all clothing, socks, hair things, etc. so that it's all picked out and there is no digging around for matching clothes and accessories. I used to combine them but they are almost big enough now for a bag each. I just save these bags and reuse them each time. We also do the shower cap trick, works great!
Great idea! Thanks for posting, I will be sharing it with my twin godsons' mom. They're starting Kindergarten in the fall and this will be a great way to keep their mornings moving smoothly.
Love it! :)
The belt idea is wonderful! Thanks a lot and enjoy your holidays!
Great video! I like the tip on putting the belt in the shirt collar, never heard of that one before. You learn something new everyday. Have a wonderful trip!!
Do it dose it again! Thank you for these tip and tricks I never knew I needed but are making my life a million times easier as I learn them.
You're the best! Thank you Kathryn for making my life easier and making it so much fun!
Great tips! When I left my first daughter at one year old, I had to keep reminding myself that this is good for us parents to take a vacation AND it is a blessing for the people watching her- they enjoyed having a snugly little one year old.
So true!! Grandma and Grandpa love having this time with him since they live in Michigan :) Thanks for reminding me of that perspective.
Oooh baby Charlie! He’s so big now lol went back to watch this old vid because I remember it being AWESOME! I’m packing for New Zealand with the hubby..
Happy 5th Anniversary! when leaving my kids when on vacation i got a small journal and each day put in my thoughts for them for that day. That way later they looked back and could see that even though it was a vacation for me they were missed and loved each day i was gone. Happy vacationing!
That's so sweet. Love that, Bonnie!
I loved all your suggestions!!!! I have used a master packing list for years and made list customized to each person in the family. When the kids got older I just wrote how many of each item they needed and had them do all the work of gathering up the items. So much easier on me!! Have a wonderful trip!!!
That's awesome! Thanks, Dawn :)
Thanks for the video and I hope you had a blast!!! Many many more happy and healthy years to you and your husband!! Carson is a CUTIE PIE!!!! God bless him always!!!
Love the packing cube suggestion. I always save the packaging our sheets, etc come in, they make for the best storage containers as well as packing :)
Such great tips, I've never heard of the packing in cubes before. Need to store that one away for future use. I think everyone here has given such great advice on leaving the baby for the first time, I don't think I could add anything better. It's hard and you are going to miss him at times, but like everyone said, it's so important for parents to take some well deserved time to themselves. I really appreciate your bargain tips on how to organize with things you already have, instead of spending a small fortune on containers. Have a wonderful time! Thank you.
I use plastic shopping bags to wrap my shoes in, then I can use the same bag(s) to put dirty laundry in while I'm traveling.
Also, I've learned to use a backpack as my carry-on, instead of everyday purse. I have a smaller clutch purse (with a shoulder strap) for credit/debit cards, ID, money, phone, lipstick, comb etc - this fits inside my backpack and I use it as a purse when traveling or going out. I put small bottles of liquid products inside a plastic zippered pillowcase bag, which I carry in my backpack and can easily take out at airport Security. Since backpacks have a lot of pockets, it's easy to store things in and use for a carry-on - even one set of rolled up clothes, just in case. This really saved me during a trip to Hawaii, when our luggage didn't make it until the following day.
Have fun on your trip!!!! :-)
I totally just uploaded a video on packing!!! I love the cosmetic bags! I swear I never throw anything away because I am always looking for something to use as an organizational tool
I have the same collection of zippered bags in my travel supplies bin! I also save bread bags for shoes and any container that might work to take laundry soap
I'm leaving for camp this Sunday, and I was just about to head out the door to get some packing cubes. You just saved me a ton of cash, thank you! New subscriber, definitely, love your channel!
Brilliant tips for travel wow your so organized! How cute is Carson his first talking blog!
Great tips!! Love the pack-it cubes idea. Forget the Eagle Creek ones. A tip I have for traveling with a child is to put outfits together ahead of time. My 7-year old daughter is a bit of a fashionista and sometimes takes forever to pick the perfect outfit. On vacation, I find there's no time for that. I will use your upcycled idea to put complete outfits in pack-it cubes! Thanks. Hope your trip was wonderful and that Carson (and you guys) did fine apart.
Love love love your practical tips. Especially the travel cubes, how to tell when a squeeze bottle is high quality with the noise, and "WHAT IS IT CALLED..." shower caps. Heh
I love the sweater bags been using those fir about a year thry hold up pretty well I have been double bagging mine
So love this idea and I'm an org junkie!! Thanks for this tip will need this for Disney trip in dec!! Love u, Blessings, Adrienne
Genius! I love your energy and my goodness you know all of the little tips and tricks lol! Thanks bunches!
Thank you so much for this video! my husband and I are going to Gatlinburg TN for my 21st birthday and our 1 year wedding anniversary August 7th. We are leaving August 5th. I am so excited!
On a trip currently where I used those exact same sweater storage bags. Yeah, don't expect to do anything other than throw them away when you get home. They work better than nothing, but the zippers came off most of them already. Still though, at 50 cents each? What more could you expect? Definitely going to keep an eye out for things that come in better quality bags to save for packing.
OMG he is adorable!!! God bless him. TFS all those awesome tips. Diana
I'm glad I keep those bags because I thought they were nice quality, too. Will have to try this with packing. I like to keep my must travel stuff in one of those hanging bags you can take with you. Great tips.
You rock at these kinds of videos! I am totally making a "travel" box in the closet
Thank u. You are so creative. I can't wait for my next vacation
I know that you would never entrust your baby with anyone who would not treat your baby as well as you do. So, I know you will miss him, but "NO WORRIES" Carson will be in good hands. Thanks for the packing list. You are such a sweetie for doing all the work and sharing with all of us. Also love the packing cube ideals, Teri was right you are a GENIUS!! Have a great trip.
I love it, your ideas and tips. Thank you for sharing. Living frugally tips.
I love your tips! I purchased a package of 8 shower caps at Dollar Tree and used those when packing for my honeymoon. I put the caps around the bottom of my shoes. I also purchased three small mesh laundry bags at DT and separated my underwear, socks, and bathing suits into each one. It made packing so much easier! No need to buy expensive gear when we can make do with what we have or just buy something inexpensive. :)
We're going away for our fifth anniversary next week so thank you I'm looking forward to downloading your list and using your tips. Happy Anniversary I'm sure you had a great trip. :)
Some great ideas and tips!! I wish I did some of this when I out of town!
Great tips!!! So practical and sensible! Love all of your videos!!! Thank you for sharing :)
Super ideas! I love the one on shower caps for shoes and great price. I'm going to try it very soon. I've also kept plastic bags from other items to reuse, but never thought of keeping them in one place. Sure will make it easier to find. Thanks.
Oh Kathryn, you know how fabulous I think you are!! I saved all my heavy duty plastic bags for our trip to the Bahamas last fall. Great minds, lol!!
Great great tip!! I am going back home at the end of the year and I am traveling with my little baby boy and this is just perfect. I usually categories my luggage on sections, but using zipped bags and all those other extra bags is such a great idea. Thank you so much for your great ideas and have a wonderful trip! Happy Aniversario! ;)
Great ideas I do the same things! I put our shoes in produce bags from the grocery store :-)
These tips were awesome!! I don't know why I've never thought of these before! Absolutely love it and love your channel! :) Enjoy your trip and have some fun!
Thanks for your support Colleen! xo!
hey Katherine I really love all your videos are so wonderful and informative and so fun I start even using the one on my carpet with the baking soda and that was really amazing it's just unbelievable and your videos are just so fun and you're so upbeat just great
Brilliant! Thank you! I was just about to spend $$$$ on a packing cube system.

Love these tips! All such great ideas!! Thank you :)
Well, packing cubes at tj Maxx are 5 for 14 bucks and they are grest though and you can use them as little drawers inside the drawers where you are going to store your stuff.
Its hard for the first 30mins leaving your baby's! Carson will be a much happier baby when y'all back he will feel your relaxation the time you and hubby take to reconnect makes for a better home in the long run! Safe travels
Yes, spot on! Thanks, Tracey :)

Thank you for the great tips...we are going to Hawaii in November!!
Thank you so much for charing your ideas and have a nice vacation. From your #1 dominican fan!! Buen viaje!!
Gracias! Besos xo
May you and family have a great trip. I ravel alot too and save all the packaging from other things to save money. By the By I just got the vacuum bags and I'm going to try them. Wish me luck lol
I wish we had all of you wonderful organizers with all your tips and tricks 40 years ago! My life would have been so much easier as a young mom. I am thankful we have you now however....... never too old to learn, right?!! xoxo
Great tips as always!! Have fun on your trip... have to say I'm a little bit jealous!!
Exactly right! I use sheet plastic bags. They are better than what you buy
I've used ziplock bags for travel for years! Probably started that trend when my first child was born to put clean clothes and other stuff for his diaper bag.
Love all you ideas. Thank you :)
Very good idea, I've only been saving those plastic packaging bags for storage, but I don't think I had ever used any of those for packing cubes. Good that I've watched this video now, cos we'll be leave for a short overseas trip in about a month time. I've always enjoyed watching all these ideas videos. Thanks!
Our first time to leave our kid was when she was 2 years old, it was a fail separation (even though it was only a few hours separation!!), so finally we just took her back and she stayed with us the whole time.
When come to kids, I think I'm more an extreme protective mother, we'd always travelled together (unless they needed to travel with their band / choir or whatever), it's only been a year or so that my hubby & I had finally travelled without our kids (the eldest one is 23 & the youngest one will turn 20 in about 2 months time!) So, sorry to tell you, but I don't have any good tips for you to feel better to leave your boy behind.
Thanks for the video. This is way off subject but have you done any more freezer crock pot cooking.
Awesome tips. Thank you!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your 5 Year Anniversary!...Kathryn you and Charlie are a great couple and wonderful parents! Carson is very blessed to have you! Don't worry Carson will be just fine! I know you will miss him, go ahead and shed a tear or two and then let the fun begin! Have A Great Time In The Bahamas!... L.Y.!
Thanks, Dana! xo.
Always love your ideas. I use those bags that sheets come in for organizing yarns by color and type. How old is your little man now? What a smarty. He's gonna be quite a ham, just like his mommy. :)
The list is AWESOME thank you
i love you so much ,thank you very much this morning i recived amail from ala ajandra abt those cases and now you shown me a cheaper way of doing it xxxx
Wonderful tips ! Thankyou

thank you! im just getting ready for my holiday. this list is amaziiiiing :3
Yay! Have a save trip and I'm glad it's been helpful. xo!
Thanks for sharing these great tips! Have a fun and safe trip =)
Kathryn, you NEVER fail to amaze me ! I never get to travel, much less travel with my hubby, but I would have never thought about keeping the zipper bags that like Curtain's, sham's etc. cubes. How brilliant to stick their ( Men's ) belt in the collar of their button up shirt's, you just AMAZE me with all of your money saving tip's, trick's and such !
PLEASE give Mr. Carson a hug and kiss for me !
XOXO,
Denise
Oh my tip for my SON leaving ME for the first time isn't a good one :( I stayed up and cried all night long. See My Uncle Boad and Aunt Marion lived in Marietta Ga. and My mom and her husband at the time was going down to visit and they wanted to see Jackie, and even though they only lived in Marietta and us in TN, we didn't get to see them much because of everyone's work and life, but I allowed him to go at 6 week's, which I'm happy I did, that was the first and ONLY time Granny Dorothy got to meet Jackie ;(
I knew Jackie would be well took care of, and I knew he'd be fine, and I also knew I needed the rest as I had Preeclampsia ( Can't spell it ) And I was in the hospital A LOT, very worn out, and all that stuff that you and your body goes threw during child birth ( NATURAL )
You have to take care of his mom and dad and their marriage, just as you'd take care of him, maybe when you get back well rested who knows Carson may have a sibling on the way LOL ONLY JOKING......RELAX and ENJOY your vacation he'll be fine !
Man he's frown and looks more like you daily ! I just want to kiss him and hug him to death ! :) so you can do it for me please!
I thought I was the only one reuse 👍🏽bags. I’ve be doing this for a long time. Well, enjoy your trip & God Bless & Peace Out..😊
I use plastic grocery bags to wrap my shoes in. Keeps dirt and odors out of my luggage and I always have plenty to grab from. I also sometimes wrap dirty clothes in them as well.
Have fun! Can't help you with advice. I have taken 2 vacations since my now 2 yr old was born and have taken him to both. It's not as hard as you may think and they fly free until age 2! :-)
Gr8 tips, Happy 5th, Carson is with ppl you trust, so have a gr8 time!
tip for powder jars (foundation, blush, etc) makes a great place for hearing aids, small earrings, and jewelry. And if you save the cap you don't have to worry about losing anything.
This was right on time! Thank you…
Super good tips! Enjoy your vacation! :)
Bye, bye Carson...ooo, so cute! Ok, my fav tip was the plastic bags...I use them too! Have a great time, be safe, and use lots of sunscreen. Give that baby lots of kisses xxx
He is gorgeous!! Thanks for all these tips.
Awesome vid! From a fellow teacher in Chicago, Zio. :)
Wow these are great tips, I love your channel, you have a fun trip!!
Thank you my dear! xo :)
Oh I wish you had done this video in April for the trip I took the first weekend in May. I never thought about backing in cubes. I have a ton of those bags. I will be well packed and organized on my next trip. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great time and Happy Anniversary.
Thanks, Lorie!
love your videos very informative.
When leaving the kids, I've left a little gift for them to open each day--maybe to start the day or to end the day. I try to bring something home for them. They had a great time with the grandparents.
Awesome tips! Have a safe and fun trip. Happy 5th anniversary.. no big planner we have out 12 th anni estuary this month...i hope we do something...Lol thanks again..
Cheers to 12 years for you guys! :)
Last year when we were heading to the beach on vacation I wanted to have more room when traveling. I decided to use the Space Bags to pack our clothes, towels & linens. OMG!!!! I have 2 teenagers and I was able to put all my clothes, my husbands & my sons in 1 suitcase. When I was ready to come home repack the space bags for the trip home!!!!
your checklist is a SUPER ideas. 100 Likes!!
Great tips!! Thanks!
This is great! Also a space saver, roll your clothes. It also minimizes wrinkles.
