It would be wonderful to see a video look book of you talking through all the clothes you packed and all the outfits you wore during your holiday. What worked, didn’t, what you wore, didn’t. Etc. thank you.

[@wendykoc6404]

Hi Anna, one little tip, put your heavy bits - toiletries etc. on the bottom by the wheels - otherwise when you stand the case up they will all fall down and crush your clothes! Have a wonderful holiday xxxx

[@MultaniEisha]

I think having flip flops/house slippers to wear around your hotel when you travel is a must for me. We’re also a no-show household so we wear house-slippers.

[@rachael5029]

Tip for powders... Put them all in durable zip lock bags and you can label what they are, plus takes up less space. If you're worried about them breaking, store them all in a packing tube/toiletry bag etc.

[@kcolthurst]

As someone living in the Netherlands and the 'summer' we're having at the moment, the BRAVERY of only packing open shoes I was like 🙏🙏🙏

[@Ansi_Hagander]

I was getting so stressed about you forgetting underwear and pijamas, when you kept on going ooon and on about having so much space left. What a relief at the end of the video. 😄

[@unforgettablelex]

The speed at which my heart literally melted when you were talking about Ralph's excitment for flying. My heart is now beyond goop state, so precious and wholesome. thank you for sharing

[@maybe800]

Since Ralph loves trains I think there is a high speed train connection from London to Amsterdam that is as fast as an airplane if you count in the waiting times of the airport. 😊

[@melanieholmes5022]

If it rains you don't have covered shoes. Or if its really warm you might want a hat or a swim suit cover. With little ones as long as you have wipes, nappies and snacks to get you there everything else can usually be sorted. I'm a cronic over packer but mostly for myself.

[@victoriaevans2337]

Anyone else shout JUPE! At the screen?😂😂😂 so glad you realised at the end! Love this though definitely going to try this method next time I pack! x

[@CBCH]

Loving your content - hope you guys have a great getaway 🤍

[@niber2661]

People overthink packing and always pack too much! We are going on holiday for 3 weeks as a family of 4(adult+, 1y &4y), flying with 2backpacks+stroller

[@sebastianist40]

So helpful - thank you ❤

[@watkinsae]

Yes to this video!!! 💘

[@Deeno23]

A sticker book for Ralph at the airport/ on the flight. Found this kept my little one entertained. They get so bored with the waiting. No notes on your packing. Though bringing your powders and no mascara has me in a spin 😅

[@merelmetterademaker2624]

I’m so excited for you to come to my hometown! ❤🎉 it really is one of my favorite places!

[@lucymott4165]

Eurostar would’ve been perfect for Amsterdam! My friend just went with her kids and said it was great with little ones

[@leahsapaden_]

I’m watching this as I am packing to move to NYC! Thanks for packing with me 😂 ❤

[@veesvoyages]

Great video! Next solo trip I'm going to try this method😊

[@dee2085]

Love these pack with me videos!🙌 These are a few of my travel must-haves - I love the Melissa and Doug on the go water wow pack while travelling with my toddler. It's mess free and you can use it indefinitely I also like to carry my anker multi port charger + power bank on trips, one pair of weatherproof footwear. Hope you have a great trip!

[@jeanettey.7307]

Hope you all have an amazing holiday. Just a thought on the spf - it shouldn’t be decanted it could destabilize it.

[@bodhgaia]

Aw, my daughter is a great Maisy mouse fan! Such cute books! Have a good holiday!

[@gigantefan]

Do you have a small crossbody pouch for your passport, ID, etc.? The wide open bag is fab but I worry about you having your essentials lifted? Have a wonderful trip!

[@user-ps4pq7fz7p]

Love to see what you did in Amsterdam ! Pack a jacket ❤🇨🇦have a wonderful holiday!!

[@shelleyj210]

Yes to the Maisy books! My two year old went on his first plane in April and we read the Airport one and the Holiday one in the lead up. He LOVED the plane and was incredible. I hope Ralph loves it also xx

[@crashlikewaves]

I think you talked about this previously, but I wanted to say that I really appreciated how you have navigated motherhood on the Internet. I actually enjoy the stories that you share a lot more then I would than any photos or video.

[@evew5]

Your hair is just so beautiful I can't believe the journey since bob-cut Anna!

[@clothestohomevlog]

Where is your green beaded necklace from? love It! hope you enjoy your vacation!

[@muaythaigirl1612]

Baby wipes!! My littles are past the toddler stage but baby wipes are a lifesaver for sticky fingers (or a refreshing wipe on travel or humid days 😉)

[@Joysteib]

LOL...I was one of those people shouting what about your PJ's, toothbrush and underwear!!! So Glad you remembered ...haha Hope you all have a great time!!!

[@stephaniex8776]

taking a kid to amsterdam for 1st holiday..thats balsy! :O goodluck and enjoy the netherlands! nemo museum in amsterdam is great for kids!

[@nicolapendleton]

What l-glutamine do you use? Been wanting to see if it helps my stomach but don’t know which to go for!

[@annasarnacka3809]

Hello Anna, I have one suggestion- put the powders into string bags. They take less space, especially once you use some of the powder and no washing up once you get back is also a bonus ☺️ have a lovely holidays! ❤

[@lazylainy]

If you're cycling, your floaty trousers will catch in the chain. Be careful! Have fun!!

[@brontec9769]

I definitely pack the same but in reverse, start with clothes and shoes - the hardest decisions and work back to the practical items :) P.S Amsterdam and air travel without closed toe shoes.. it could rain and be cool on the flight! Missing: closed to shoe, another pair of darker trousers (travelling with kids, the light colours could get food stains quickly etc). Looking forward to seeing your travel outfits!

[@nebneb255]

Anna, I just got back from Amsterdam (seeing Taylor Swift 🎉) and I heartily recommend Muiderslot Castle just outside the city. It’s in a really quiet town and as two grown adults we spent 3 hours there - I think a kid would love it!

[@effie5238]

It might be worth investing in some small @Stasher bags for your powders. Less bulk, lighter & they would take up much less space.

[@jeracollinge-iq5se]

Sneakers is a must!

[@julielepage1315]

We've been on our holiday we had a wonderful time We go to guernsey to see family You are so organised anna. I always pack far to many clothes. And always take to much makeup. 😊

[@LottyDotty05]

I was definitely screaming in my head, "Underwear Anna!!" 😂 Currently can't scream out loud due to newborn baby on chest, but I was going to make sure you had undies, lol

[@mariondmgl]

Living in Amsterdam, I can tell you the weather is driving us mad those days 😅 Dressing up is definitely a challenge at the moment 🙈

[@danagodfrey2979]

Awesome idea on packing but I can’t find ur list cheers

[@user-ii4rq5ko3x]

Where is your little white bedside lamp from? 🥰

[@tarlinsj]

If there was a chance of it being warm, I’d add a hat 😊 Hope you have a fab trip!

[@rachaeljones5767]

When my son was little I never travelled anywhere with out calpol and plasters x

[@lazylainy]

Underwear and pjs!!

[@sanghasheena]

Shoes! Underwear! Dirty clothes bag! 😂

[@sharonevans6261]

Bring a bag for anything that is damp. There are cute bags for that. Maybe even there? I bet they have lovely kids things in Amsterdam ❤ have fun

[@latteslettersandlife]

Put the powders into ziplocks and flatten them and put the whole lot into a safety ziplock. Space Safet galore 😉

[@mynameisnotcate]

I was about to comment that you forgot the (j)upe before the end of the video! 😂 Glad you didn't forget, that would have been grim.

[@Hiiii_holaaaa]

Where is your green clear toiletry bag from?

[@marley022010]

I think Space NK have similar ones. I have a small one from John Lewis but it’s white leather which doesn’t work with my makeup well.

[@KrisEngel71]

❤

[@princessannabelle16]

Beach towel? Hat in case it is a heatwave? ❤

[@Abyabalos]

Laundry bags but then again you can use your tote bags (maybe) *scrunches face*

[@sallyannc3176]

We always add a couple of carrier bags to put our dirty laundry in to bring home. For shoes too.

[@laurajanelaw1295]

Kids like their own bag on planes but rarely want to actually carry them through airports or out and about. Prams obvs help, but when older just save your own back and have a nice backpack per parent for drink bottles etc! X

[@laurajanelaw1295]

And a bit of screen time for them on a plane gives you a chance to listen to a pod for a bit! X

[@stephaniex8776]

why are you taking a rattan bag when its going to be cloudy and rainy :O wont that damage the bag? and what about trainers/sneakers? you dont want to walk around amsterdam in opentoe shoes?

[@natashaingram2416]

Socks & flannels! X

[@dianeargentino1320]

I would be curious if you have ever done the eyebrow blindness in ticktock?

[@danielabatista]

Did you put underwear ? Didn’t catch that 😂

[@danielabatista]

Oh got it ❤

[@JuliaChapman-u5x]

underwear, pyjamas

[@JuliaChapman-u5x]

sunhat

[@sallyannc3176]

Why does it matter if there's something under your case on the bed? Your case isn't that dirty, and the top of your duvet doesn't touch you!

[@jmartin1037]

The powders in a plastic bag....a just imagine your case being thrown by baggage handlers and one exploding in your case....is unlikely to happen but would be annoying if it did!

[@sallyannc3176]

Open toed sandals on a plane - nope, wear some trainers.
