NEED TO KNOW PACKING HACKS 2022 | 12 HELPFUL PACKING TIPS | HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR TRIP

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Hey guys, I hope this packing video was helpful for you! Let me know down below which packing tip or hack you want to use the next time you travel?

[@benjyandhollybass2942]

Your hair is looking really good. It looks a little lighter and really compliments your skin tone with the highlights around your face especially! 👍

[@AP-gg7ep]

You genuinely have OCD. It's not necessarily a negative thing. So long as cleaning makes you happy 😁 Just don't be hard on your kids to be like you, their cleaning standards may not match yours and that's ok.

[@cathleenweaver6483]

My favorite is the paper links. My sons are grown with families of their own. The paper links is a genius idea for all those "are we there yet" and/or "how much longer" etc. questions. I am going to definitely give them this idea. They all travel by car quite a bit and I know my granddaughter will love this. Thanks Ashley for all the great travel tips 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@myluvs2931]

Love the rolling suitcases. I gotta get sims and having a toiletry bag already packed! Thanks Ashley! 😀😍

[@myluvs2931]

Also love your highlights! 😉

[@BarefootFarm]

Cleaning our house is always part of my “packing for a trip” routine too! There’s nothing worse to coming home to your house being a wreck!

[@MaraschinoMary1]

I can remember asking my mother why we had to clean the house before going on vacation. I’d say, we aren’t going to be here, why do we care whether it’s clean or not! My mother was a registered nurse in a hospital ICU, so of course, she saw the worst that could happen to people. Then I as a mother always told my own girls, if something happens while we are away, people may need to come to our house, and I wanted it to be clean for them.

[@cassharrington781]

Haha! Tyger peaking around the corner when you’re showing the pre-packed bathroom bag is the cutest!! My fav part 😁

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

He’s a cutie!

[@Lashlove16]

Great video …My packing tips. 1) packing list 2) keep an area with stuff you need to pack 3) dryer sheets in suitcases 4) use the hotel bag as your laundry bag 5) a few days before you leave figure out your toiletries….items that need to be packed the day of put in a shoe box in your bathroom and another shoe box in your makeup area 6) 2 panties per day of travel 7) put a fresh set of bedsheets so when you come back it’s just a nice feeling 8) check your fridge for any perishables and take out your trash from your home Car travel tips 1) pillows/blankets for kids sleep in the car comfortably ( even when not traveling) 2) plastic bag for trash 3) small cooler for drinks 4) baby wipes 5) Costco trip to get drinks / snacks 6) zip lock bags / binder clips for snacks 7) Costco has clevermade collapsible laundry totes that are great for your trunk for snacks to bring to your hotel 8) disposable utensils 9) sharpie to label your water bottles or snack bags

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Great tips, thanks for sharing!

[@millylarz]

Omg that puppers peaking around the corner when you were showing the bathroom toiletries was just too adorable 😍💕!!!!

[@kelligoodman1203]

I start packing months before a trip. It just makes the planning and waiting so much more fun. As soon as I'm back from one trip, I start packing for the next. I have my standard packing lists for Mexico, cruises, Disney, and even for our 2023 Ireland trip.

[@jarhead5974]

At 9:51 Tyger looked ADORABLE peeking around the corner while you were in your bathroom getting your pre-ready bag to show us. I LOVED that! Arlene

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Haha he’s a cutie

[@mimi_to_four7151]

Loved seeing Tiger peaking around the door! So cute! Love your packing tips, my mom taught me the same things your mom taught you! And great idea for putting water in a rolling suitcase! Oh my gosh the paper links for the kids to rip off is great idea! Definitely love coming home to a fresh clean home!

[@daynad8104]

You can also use a rolling cooler. That way you can fill it up at the hotel ice machine, and you won't have to make as many trips to get ice from the machine.

[@cathleenweaver6483]

Cleaning house before vacation is the best advice. Also when I stay at my sons' house when they leave, I wash all the sheets for them. Then when they get home they have clean sheets. I don't wash their comforter bc I don't want to ruin it so they may do that when they get home but at least their sheets are clean and their house is clean. Years ago my Mom would do that for me when she came over to watch our pets 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@dynasty5140]

💐Hi Ashley! 👍AWESOME TIPS! You are so thorough…love all your suggestions! Thank you Sweet Lady!😉

[@dawnbell681]

They were great tips!! Thank you!!! Enjoy your trip and stay safe.

Always great ideas and tips, glad you thought to share them!

Great tips, thanks for the reminders. 😊❤😊

[@janiceh4521]

Lol the clean house! I have been given such a hard time because my house must be clean all laundry done except what you wear out the door and I will go to the laundromat if hotel, beach house whatever doesn’t have washer/dryer. But I will come home with everything clean except again clothes on our backs. To walk into a clean house, no laundry to do, just unpack and relax before heading back to work next day! Love it

[@juliday9866]

This was a very informative video!! I enjoyed it. I hope your dance trip was fun and you relaxed…

[@StephanieHfaith]

[@sarahbeck4462]

When I was younger my mom always did the goodie bags on the hour for my sisters and I. It is such a fun memory and I have started that same tradition for my kids! Love all the tips

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

It will make for great memories for sure!

[@tamaraharris2512]

Such great ideas Ashley!! And cleaning the house before you go is a MUST for us!! We've been doing this for years so my kids alredy know & expect it. We love coming home to a clean & nice smelling home. And to know all we have to do is unpack & relax after a long trip is so nice!! 💕

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Yes that is the best feeling!

[@jeanieme764]

Loved the Video. I am a list maker. I finally Laminated mine as I find I take some of the same things. And the same for my kids, husband, and menus for vacations. I keep the lists in their luggage and the Menu I tape it to the top of the bin. I check off with dry erase marker and wipe clean when packed and then cross off again when we pack from the destination ... Just because I have forgotten a special pillow or blankie! 😜

[@christinaamezquita84]

[@cristolhouey8519]

Hello Ashley, hope you had a great mother's day. I also like coming home to a clean house after a trip. I make sure that there isn't any trash left in the can, and leave an empty bag. Nothing worse than coming home to smelly trash. 😒 love that bag that goes over the suitcase. Super handy. I'll be trying that out for our trip next month. Thanks. Have a great week

[@RaisingHalfaDozen]

Doing a lot of traveling is seems this year so thank you!!!!!

[@jos-1994]

Great tips Ashley. Its as if you were in my head. We share the same tips. Your last tip (cleaning the house before you travel) is 1x of the most important tips. After a short but especially a long trip, it is such a great, welcoming feeling to come home to a clean home. There are so many tips but if you plan head, it won't feel overwhelming leading up to your travel day. Great video. 1x of your best👌🏼 😊 ✈️ 👝👜😎

Thanks for the great tips! I make a packing list and a to do list of things to get done before we leave. Just ordered the collapsible hamper for our trip to MN. Driving from AZ! Will have a cooler for water and snacks. Will use my weekender back for our overnight stops during the drive so we don’t have to drag the huge suitcases in to hotel. Thanks for sharing!

We have such similar ideas. My mom always taught me to come home to a clean house. Laundry, dishes, clean counters. I organize my dirty clothes too separate for ease when we get home. And I also have the extra toiletry bag always ready to go. I have done that with charge cords too. I have an extra bag of them so I don’t forget anything!

[@joycehobbs7564]

I worked for an airline for 40 years so your video is spot on. Make sure you also have any medication, stuff for contacts, etc is also in your carry-on bag. You don’t know how many times we had people that put their medication in their checked bag they needed them & it was in the belly of the aircraft. Also very important- DO NOT put your bags on the beds in case they have bed bugs. It will get on your bags & you will bring them home. Hotels have luggage carts to put them on.

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Very good tips, thank you!

I take a reusable laundry bag when I fly. I also take a kitchen trash bag to line the hamper. When I’m packing to leave I cinch the trash bag and toss it in a suitcase!

[@RaisingHalfaDozen]

Travel size/card games to play while waiting in the hotel for things to happen. On flights, Request cup and lid for yourself if you have a child. A 7 yr old next to me (my son)may or may not have spilt 2 out of 3 of my ginger ales on me today!🙃 3rd time my stewardess brought my a lid and straw. 😅

I don't think I could function going on a trip without lists. And I always have one bedroom where I put things I'm going to be taking with me so I'm not running around all over the house. I completely agree about the carry-on luggage and have essentials with you just incase. I've experienced that firsthand and it sucked. Lol. My son gave me several of the packing cubes that goes inside luggage for Mother's day which I've heard great things about. You gave some wonderful tips. Hope you have a great week.

[@4our2ks]

I keep a list of what's in each pre-packed bag, inside the bag. That way the kids don't tear apart the bag looking for something that isn't in there. We bring a smaller suitcase inside a bigger one if we check in bags for free. We tend to bring home more than we brought. We didn't have a car on one trip so we took an empty suitcase to the neighborhood store for water bottles. The hotel sold water bottles for $3 each! It was Vegas in summer, so we would have gone broke just at the gymnastics/acro meet we were there for. Each of our girls had their gym bag with their name in it for the meet. We designated one rolling carry on for those irreplaceable items. The girls put their cheer bows on their bags so they could find theirs in the mass of everyone's bags at the competition. I found a couple travel bags that have see thru compartments and roll up to carry and have a hook to hang in the closet open during the trip. Time saver for meds and over-prepared items. Small scissors, tape, etc. I also bring a few Surge protectors for the car and the room. I use the label maker to make sure we have all the cords when we leave the hotel. It helps in the car too. We use a cigarette lighter adapter for the first outlet, and run surge protectors all the way to the back of the van. If we are in the car ready to go everyone should have their charger in, or by the outlet. It's the worst when you are packed up and ready to go and someone says, I don't have my charger. Thanks for all of your tips and tricks. Most people don't know that many smaller bags will slip onto the handle of the suitcase, that's a game changer.

[@anndenton5260]

I like that you keep toiletries under the sink nearby for travel. Where do you store you luggage in between trips? I find putting outfits together to wear days before and after the trip helps also. Thank you

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

We store it on the top shelf of our closet when we aren’t using them. Thanks for watching!

[@theblackeyedpeawithtams701]

I traveled with three small kids and dollar tree sells these road trip games on a dry erase board. The games were like when you see a fire truck circle it or a stop sign etc love those !!!! We also played the ABC game where you start with the letter A and find a word on a sign or something you're passing but you just say A in Antiques...whoever gets to Z first wins. It could not be words off of cars it had to be on road signs billboards etc. then we chose a color and count how many cars we see in our color choice and whoever gets to 100 cars in their color first wins ..time flew by and kids loved these games ..heck I would play too :)

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Those are awesome games! We’ve done the car bingo boards from dollar tree before and loved those

[@cthompson654]

Another tip for trips is to ‘hold mail’. This is one thing many people forget to do. More so for safety while you are gone. Have your neighbors look out for packages at your front door. Grab it and store it until you return from your trip. Iron school clothes before leaving at 2 days worth. No stress when you return.
