My Wife Packing For A Trip

[@brittsbluetears]

This is absolutely me! I’ve actually said “if I die on vacation I don’t want anyone to be horrified by my apartment, so I need to clean it!” 😂😂

[@Nino-xp5df]

Yes, this! For me, it's also about imagining someone having to bring my family and me stuff into the hospital after an accident... They should be able to find clean clothes, right?! What's up with me imagining those worst cases and actually preparing for them?

[@sarahkmoon]

I just like coming home to nice clean house

[@raea3588]

Right?! It's so relatable! But at least She never tried to plant a family pumpkin patch 5 minutes before they were supposed to leave at 6am like my mom did 😬So we would be already for the start of harvest when we came back 😩What memories are made of I guess 😊

[@NeSeeger]

PSA: Clear your web browser history before going on vacation.

[@elizabethstaszak5282]

@brittsbluetears WHYYYYY?!?! Why do we do this? 🤦‍♀️

[@emilyake9689]

"What if I die on vacation and then everyone will know I'm a slob" is a thought I've had many times while I ferociously clean before vacation

[@Cooksongrl]

When I do this now... I remind myself 'I'll be gone so I doubt I'm really gonna care" . The anxiety is still there just a little bit though.

[@mjfoster484]

Valid!

[@eponine318]

The best part of these skits is Kim snickering behind the camera 😂

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

She has the cutest laugh. 😂

[@smileycindy]

My mom must have been exactly like that because my dad once told her while she was packing for vacation "wouldn't it just be simpler to pin the house behind the car?" 😂😂😂

[@CynthiaRaeC]

“When you put the clothes in here, they just disappear!” 😂

[@pandasarevicious]

I am completely that person who needs the house to be immaculately clean before we leave on vacation. I need to come home to a clean house.

[@sheenawinfrey3133]

Yes, anything less stresses me out when I get home & then the vacation time spent is futile... so a clean house it is...

[@jerryjanik480]

That's how my mom and dad are like

[@BexBurton]

This is not unreasonable 😂

[@Cindilc]

Yup! I might not clean for weeks, but before a trip, definitely! I. My defense I usually had someone coming in to check on my pets, so…

[@staceyharvey2750]

must leave with a clean house - every trash can, even bedrooms, needs to be empty

[@SDbooknerd]

I love Kim's response to them being the same shoe. "One is comfy and one is sassy"😂

[@A22208]

Coming in a clean house after a vacation is EVERYTHING. Keep that peacefulness and calm energy. Coming into dirty dishes or laundry already makes me feel exhausted

[@jilee9160]

"It does make me feel terrible about myself. I'll pack that." 😂😂

[@trinaq]

Haha, I love this skit, it's so on point, from the random twirl, to the over the shoulder pack, to Kim's laughter from behind the camera! 😂

[@michael.steiner]

you missed when the forecast changes from 80 to 75 and a full repacking is needed

[@ashleyfriedrich9856]

Or 80 to 40 in a day... that's Missouri this week

[@NeSeeger]

@@ashleyfriedrich9856 Ah, spring in the midwest is fun.

[@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018]

We went from 80° to 20° the other day. In Missouri. 😄

[@amiedevoll7754]

Kim's laughing is everything!❤😂😊

[@andrejka_talking_out_loud]

Penn is so clever and Kim is so good natured : thank you two with blessing us with these skits :)

[@Piper79h]

We are going out of town for spring break and I appreciate this preparation tutorial. Very useful.

[@TheCoolCookieKitchen]

Kim and I are soul mates. I parked dresses on my honeymoon I hadn’t warn in years because - what if I arrived to my destination and I am completely different person?

[@elizabethstaszak5282]

It’s really funny. 😆 “I haven’t worn this dress in 10 years but…”

[@MrsRight1122]

The “my wife” videos are my favorite 😂

[@deedeewilliamson4162]

Oh this is SO me!! House has to be cleaned before you leave and definitely have to bring meds for anything!! 😂❤

[@Kat-oc3ov]

Exactly! I get eye rolls and snarky comments but suddenly it's "did you bring tums? My leg hurts, do you have Tylenol?" 🙄 Of course I do! I thought AHEAD for everyone's needs 😂

[@maryroberts589]

​@@Kat-oc3ovthat's me just prepping for a walk on the beach, for which I take at least 30 minutes to prepare. But who has the bandaids, tweezers, antibiotic ointment & bug spray when my husband needs it? Yup... it's me & I become a superhero.

[@RuariB-gp4jt]

I love it when penn acts out Kim. 😂😂 Sooo amazing( just like you guys)

[@cracked390]

but he needs to wear a wig like Dude Dad does when he impersonates his wife.

[@kimberlyreiter3213]

Guilty🙋‍♀️especially when it comes to having a "few of my things" in my husband's bag! Great video ❤

[@nancydulz1533]

The shoe packing is totally on point🤣🤣🤣

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

I know this one too well! My late mom used to lay out her and her husband's burial clothes before going on trips. Bright blessings. 💖

[@Kath-Erina]

😂😂😂 Nooooo not burial clothes lmao

[@c.a.parker5036]

Before vacation, my folks like to have what my brother and I call 'death dinner' so everyone has a nice last memory if the plane crashes.

[@elizabethstaszak5282]

@@c.a.parker5036WHAT is the matter with all of us?!?! It’s good to be talking about it because I didn’t realize other people were like this too. Sooo that’s a bonus!

[@audrey_CL318]

I love Kim laughing in the background. I am the same way, that I need to pack everything and getting teased that I included the kitchen sink. I love the part where Penn is holding Sunny saying should we her register as a therapy dog so she can fly with us.

[@elizabethjanetugby4695]

My parents have got a caravan and that means everything is packed into the car, bags and the caravan, which includes a kitchen sink, so when my parents pack, the joke is that everything is packed, including the kitchen sink!

[@marykaykillam7284]

You two are a total riot. I so love your videos. Thanks for providing me with delightful entertainment. You rock. Keep up the good work.

[@suekittrell995]

We need Penn & @dudedad doing a parody of Kim & Heidi! Oh please & these skits are hilarious

[@T-Money1]

I think everyone assumes they will be 💩ing their pants on vacation 😂🤣 right?!

[@meganofsherwood3665]

My mom started teaching me how to pack to visit my grandparents (using pictures and numbers) when I was about 4. The one time my preschooler/kindergarten self did not pack sufficient underwear was the one time I needed it. Never again! 😂

[@paulasaxon6238]

Yep. I never mess up my underwear at home, but I need extras on vacation!

[@thelawofficeofjbhilliard8666]

This is totally me...on a 3-day weekend trip. The toiletries alone need their own suitcase. And then there are the shoes... 🤣🤣🤣

[@marlaedington6471]

Me too! The problem is that if you don’t pack it, you are going to want what you left at home! I tried packing light one time and I hated it!

[@raea3588]

Oh help. I'm having flashbacks of my mom trying to prep for family vacations. Your little spin at 0:01 was so on point 😆 Sunny's face is always the perfect mood 2:24 "Do you think I could stay at a pet spa?! 🙄 Put me down you crazy vlogger" 😐...It was all gold 🤗Thank you for making my days brighter ♥

[@bridgetmckenzie6656]

Kim laughing in the back always cracks me up! Great job Kim and Penn and thanks for the laughs!

[@cuteybuppy3605]

Nobody: That one burglar: This house is nice and clean, and organized; I respect That!

[@elisewelge2134]

I laughed so hard on this one, I had to pause a few times! This one hit very close to home for me😂😂😂

[@lotuswildflowers]

This is comfy and this is sassy was the funniest bit of the whole video 😂

[@vanessasetford-smith8074]

You are so absolutely right. But packing two weeks before a vacation! I’m having a panic attack! Try two months it gives you time to unpack and repack multiple times. 🤣

[@Cindilc]

Yup! And I have to get to the airport at least 2 hours early

[@marlaedington6471]

Oops, not me, more like 2 days before! Because I hate packing!

[@sharmanmurphree-roberts4018]

Exactly! I was really stressing, because it was only 3 weeks before my trip, and I was sick and couldn't pack anything yet. 😂

[@24cts]

Love to hear your giggling as you are filming! I remember the first time I arrived in England. I was dropped off at the estate - I had a large red roller back. “Your from the States.. right”. That was the last time I was prepared for everything - now it’s a carry on and personal item no matter where I’m going.

[@MAnnytteGirard]

This is so relatable. 😂😂😂

[@DeliahAyala.2.14.91.]

This was hilarious 😂 Its ok to let the kids pack for themselves. Heres a trick. Mom used to write us a rough guideline list and tell us to pack. Dad would check when we were done. If we were missing things or had packed ridiculous things/stuff not allowed, we would have to do a few pushups and fix the packing. Dad was Navy and a backwoods survivalist instructor when he was younger. Everyone not having all their stuff and being prepared gave him like ptsd level anxiety

[@jennifer1424]

I can really relate to Kim- what a spot on sketch! I have ADHD and packing is a nightmare since it involves making most of the decisions for the whole trip during the packing phase. Decisions are already my kryptonite, and add in the packing for the kids (sadly my 3 aren’t yet able to pack on their own), and I become paralyzed. It’s easier to not make the decisions now by bringing the options and saving the decisions for later, when I have more info to inform the decision. The fact that we rarely go on family vacations may have something to do with this. Planning a big one though this summer to the east coast (from CA) for a family reunion and already stressing….

[@barbarateresarhiannonsreal1756]

Yes! This is me...I pack EVERYTHING for a trip. My grown daughter packs a bag (one over the shoulder bag) & she looks fantastic for the whole trip. How & WHERE did she learn this? I have so many questions!!!😂❤❤❤

[@beththecatlover]

🤣😆The ending where everything (cleaning/straightening up) has to be done before we leave. I do the same and wonder about possibility of not making it back home and people are going to see this or that of mine. 🤣 😆 PLUS there's enough to do when you return from a trip without all the things you left undone b4 you left. This started my morning off with a good laugh!!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤💟

[@carolea1629]

😂😂😂😂 *”A SOUP PARTY??!!”*

[@SDbooknerd]

I love Kim's response to them being the dame shoe. "One is comfy and one is sassy"😂

[@isaacparsons3036]

OMG YES I feel this to the core! We just went to Iceland with carry ons. I literally sat on my suitcase to close it. The flight person at the gate told me I would have to check my bag and I was like “nope it fits” and I slid it into the check box near the gate. It just fit. I mean it hesitated before sliding into place but luckily it was heavy enough to fall completely in. 😂🙌🏼

[@koricrobbins]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries about what the house looks like "in case I die on vacation!"

[@Brego100]

“If I die on vacation and someone has to come clean out our house, THEY CAN’T KNOW HOW WE REALLY LIVE! …Lived.”

[@Remerdre]

Every single thing said and done in this video is how I am when packing. I have been my way out the door, seen a pink highlighter on my desk, and snatched it up and put it in my purse as I leave, thinking, "yes, I might need this at the beach, so just in case..."

[@viv-rw7ub]

i love how they always bring the trumpet

[@JGinCa]

Nailed it. AND 18 loads of laundry because that 1 of 2300 pieces of clothing is somehow a keystone to the entire wardrobe. :)

[@erinmalone2669]

I love hearing the person recording giggling whenever you do these. I can tell so much of the videos are ad libbed. 😊

[@thelmaavanessian3637]

You guys are brilliant!🤩 You made my day🥰

[@kimtaylor3515]

I absolutely clean the whole house before we go on vacation. We have two cats that need checking on.

[@foxwaffles]

Thank god I'm not the only one who MUST deep clean EVERYTHING before i go 😅

[@Lina315]

I can totally relate to this. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️It’s really bad when we cruise, cause you don’t really have access to all the medical/medicinal stuff you might need. And when we go to FL in February (from NY state)… I have to pack for both climates cause you can never tell if it’s going to be warm the whole time or not.

[@FocusingOnChrist]

I always forget that there will be stores at my destination. I try to pack EVERYTHING!😂

[@hemaccabe4292]

Kim, you're such a good sport!

[@IceNixie0102]

Kim is correct on every one of those points. Packing cubes are magic.

[@Mrs.NRalphs]

My mother in law started packing at least a month before our family vacation. We all had to bring a carry on bag and check our bags. Granted she was bringing things for a destination wedding but she definitely had snacks for the entire week and any medication needed.

[@Holly-lz7dm]

Hysterical!! Made me laugh so hard! 😂😂

[@sarasue1971]

I only laughed so hard because this is me! We leave for Spain Monday and I'm already losing sleep over what to bring 😂😂😂

[@anninwhack1998]

Kim is my soul mate. This is me every time I go anywhere.

[@AlohaLowah]

I one million percent insist on changing the sheets on our bed before we leave. I want to come home to clean sheets, and go to bed, in our bed, nice and cozy and clean! It's the best.

[@DS11129]

Love this. We are in states for my daughter's wedding and I packed like this. 5 of us and only two checked bags for 5 of us. I stuffed 5 carryons with gifts for family and friends plus 5 backpacks. Going home this weekend and trying to stuff everything we bought in our luggage. I did get a game for when we go home. ;)

[@staceyharvey2750]

Nailed it 2:30- wide: I got everything in my carryon bag??? … just so know, I put a few things in your luggage- turns around to see a pile of ladies clothes still on the hangers sitting on top of luggage. Skip the hangers & that IS exactly what happens when hubby & I pack for a trip 😂

[@jssmith1608]

I'm a minimalist, so between Penn's humor and Kim's abundance of stuff ..er, I mean, well-liked items, this is hilarious!

[@pielucas439]

Love hearing Kim laugh from behind the camera😂

[@lovelyday04]

The whole medicine cabinet! I get that! 😂

[@katlyns3471]

This is how me and my mom pack BUT she went to Iceland and forgot spare glasses and of course lost hers the first day in Iceland.

[@wendya1250]

Laughed so much at this. It is great to come home to a clean house but also I do think of what my family members will see in the event I don't make it home lol

[@maryroberts589]

That pink strapless at 0:46 may be the most uncomfortable dress you own Kim @holdernessfamilylaughs, but I think it's the one you wore for the the Amazing Race finale party in FL & you looked fabulous! (I was lucky enough to be there!) You should pack it for every trip no matter where you're going.

[@marlaedington6471]

This is so me! Does anyone else get so stressed out from packing (because I don’t want to forget anything, and I always change my mind about what I want to wear and hate all the clothes that I packed) but then it takes me less than a half hour to unpack everything when I get home and put dirty laundry in the wash. Unpacking is so easy compared to packing!

[@meghansb76]

I too clean before I go on vacation. But I do have a person coming in to check on my cat daily

[@MGons2002]

That's me!! Especially with "letting the kids pack on their own."

[@meganofsherwood3665]

Trick is to start them young with a picture-based checklist! That way they learn what they need, and the consequences of not bringing it! 😂

[@ginnieashmore988]

Several years ago we went on vacation, and I drove my family crazy cleaning the house before we went. Well as it turned out we had plumbing issues while we were gone so the plumbers had to come in do stuff. So, I told my family "THATS why we clean the house BEFORE we leave, do you really want strangers seeing your dirty underwear lying in the bathroom" They understood after that and never questioned it again lol

[@Kreinhardtfam]

I say the zame thing whilst cleaning the house before vacay.😂😂😂

[@zaynamoore]

Hehe, thanks for the mid week giggles. :D

[@elementarystemwithms.crosm5345]

My daughter made lists and packed on Sunday for a Thursday trip. My son waited until Wednesday night and said he didn't have enough clothes. He finally pulled some outfits together, opened the suitcase and said, "Hey, look! I guess I put some clothes in there on Sunday when you asked me to start packing!" Guess which one has ADHD. However, it is one of his superpowers and it showed once we made it to the Robotics tournament!

[@lupereyes3665]

So relatable… Me and my husband 110% 🤣🤣🤣

[@jessicaellefson4204]

My husband and I must be oddballs because he's the one who needs the big suitcase while I'm the one who says, "I can totally wear the same pair of jeans two days in a row". Also Kim, you think those wedge heals are comfy?!? 😳 Even your flats looked uncomfortable to me. 😏 My idea of being girlie is wearing mascara. 😁 I'm 47 and also in perimenopause. I have an electric blanket plugged in next to a fan on my nightstand so that I can easily switch back and forth.

I am sooooo the opposite of this! I once took 5 kids to an out of state dance competition packing everything in backpacks only (including several costumes, make up and hair supplies, clogging shoes) and still had one whole backpack just for breakfast foods (poptarts, muffins, cereal) because I knew the competitions would start before the hotel restaurant opened for the day.
