Hi, I'm Liv! I'm an Ohio girl living in a California world with my baby boy, two fur babies and husband. I make videos on motherhood, fashion, beauty, fitness, and overall health and wellness. Some of my favorite videos to make (that you'll see a lot!) are baby essentials, haul videos, lookbooks, try on videos, and style/beauty favorites. I LOVE to shop, socialize, hang out at the beach, and spread love & happiness. I pride myself on being an optimistic person and believe life is too short to be anything other than your happiest self. Welcome! ♡

Thank you so much! I've traveled with my son when he was 6 months old, I was carrying everything and it sucked traveling alone. I was struggling, I was tired, and out of breath. I was so glade there were people offering to help me get on the plane as well as getting off. This time I'm gonna do it smarter, hopefully everything runs smoothly.

[@Janelle1991x]

Travelling in 2 month's from The Netherlands to Canada. Ty so much for these tips. Watch a lot of videos. Yours is the best!

[@kayleemarino9641]

Omg thank you so much! I didn’t realize I could bring a stroller and a car seat! I checked my airline and I can!!!! It’s tomorrow and I’m so grateful I found this !

[@KarynaCast]

Omg! This is such a helpful video! Thank you Olivia!!!

[@KenshoQuest]

Great tips, especially arriving early! My husband likes to wait to board the plane, whereas it's my personality to want to board right away. We've been traveling full time for the past 8 months with our one-year-old toddler and six-year-old. I find it's not as difficult as people worry it will be. We just pack a lot of snacks, those work better for us than toys, as well. 🌺 Heidi

You saved my day! My baby was having a hard time falling asleep and none of the methods I’ve been using so far worked. The lullaby playlist is the best. I just serched on music and played the first one.

I love your channel. As a new mom, I find all your tips very useful. Thank you!

Great video And great tips ❤️❤️❤️ I am still watching hehe 😜

[@Biomedica2012]

Great tips! Second board last! My 4-month-old screamed till we took off 🤪 Can I also add one? Have your husband board first (when they call families with babies) so you for sure get overhead bin space for your bags and he can easily pack the stroller/hand it over when boarding.

[@Cicooka]

TazoYork yes. I will do this with my family. Daddy goes first.

I recently watched another youtuber who suggested taking the stroller caddy on the plane and hanging it on the hinges of the food tray for extra storage. I ahvent tried it but sounds genial!

[@kristysue55]

I just watched this video to prep for my upcoming flight and realized my lap infant wasn't added to my flight! I called and got him added. Thank you SO much for this video and saving me some time and hassle for my 1 year olds first flight!! ❤

[@rachaelsimon8981]

How did u add him?

[@TheGreenchik]

Bad part of boarding the plane last is that there is no more room for your carry on

[@linnyjustice417]

Unless you’re traveling with a partner and they can board first set everything up and then you board last to avoid over stimulating?

[@shayneventer3376]

Hey thank you for this super helpful video! I am flying with my 1 year old son alone in a weeks time and this video really helped me feel more prepared and at ease. I just also have to add that in regards to toys: you can buy some new, cheap toys to keep kiddos interested a little longer while on flights and road trips. Also from my own experience, when we are going on a road trip I try and remove some of my son's favorite toys from his daily toy rotation and put them away. This helps the toys feel more new and interesting while in confined spaces.

[@daisyflores1736]

You can always get to the gate early and ask the gate agent if you can get early boarding since you have a baby with you! Sometimes they’ll go ahead and let you go with the disabled and elderly group before group 1 so you can get into your seat with no issues. Sometimes it’s just you and the baby and your partner will have to board in the group on their pass. But it never hurts to ask! Especially if you’re very nice and ask how their day is going! I was boarded first and got our seats changed because they saw I had a 3 month old and I had a full row so then I got moved into a row for just me and my partner! Always be nice!

[@teenprincess1119]

Thank you so much for this, my 8 month old is on flight number 3 and she has 3 more for the rest of the year. And we will have more, especially since I love traveling and we are military.

[@loweje2]

You should try those infinity scarves that also double as a cover up for nursing!!!

Thank you soooo much for replying me back i really appreciate 😍🥰

[@Bella-mj6qp]

Hi i love your videos and been watching it over and over for travel tips especially with toddlers😅 i just wanna ask, how do you pack clothes for the family on airplane trips? Do you use packing cubes? I've been searching for ways to pack that would be easier and convenient during travel. Thanks for the tips😍

[@rosebud7233]

I totally get the idea of nodding last, but do you just pack your carry on with the plan to have it gate checked? I always try to avoid having a checked bag, so I bring the max carry on allowance.

[@taylorhoepfinger5473]

I'm so nervous, single mom here, I'll be flying alone with my son for the first time (his first flight). He's currently 14 months old, it will be in June. Our flight is only an hour and a half but I already have a slight fear of flying (I've flown multiple times). I'm watching videos a month and half early just trying to be prepared. Hopefully my tall little man can do great with this.

[@jessicaknowles1145]

How did it go ?

[@sulakshnaandotra7653]

same here but my two flights are 7 and 6 hours, what advise u want to give me

[@talinpilavjian6348]

Awesome video! Thanks for all the useful tips! I'm curious, which strollers do you recommend for traveling? Do you have a different one specifically for travel?

[@MrsMersburgh]

Wondering the same!!

[@melissaolinger6553]

I love this video! so many tips for our flight with our 1 year old. I did want to say, some car rental places will guarantee that you will get a car seat. Alamo is one of them, and its in bold when you reserve a car seat that they are clean, not expired, accident free, and GURANTEED. That being said its not true for every place and other are first come first serve.

[@yesiiventura4753]

Hello Olivia , I have a question .. what did you give your son for ear pain? I’m planning a trip next year with my family and I’ll have a year old by next year so I was wondering what would you recommend me for ear pain? Thank you!

[@aandwvideos4017]

Hi! You mentioned they will give you a pink tag for stroller. Does this apply to car seat strapped on a travel cart too?Thank you so much in advanced for your response!

[@meaganlowery4361]

I have a newborn currently, not planning on traveling anytime soon! But I love that playlist recommendation. Has anyone found a similar playlist but onto Spotify?

[@pewjosue1261]

Hi Olivia! Where did you get your back pack diaper bag?

[@guscarrazco7919]

Great tips!!! I tried the lullaby link but I get an error… would it be on Spotify or KZbin?

[@mikethemechanic7395]

When my kids were 1-3. Were forced them to stay up all night before the flight. They were asleep the whole flight almost. They only made one cry for about a minute. If you keep your kids on a regular day schedule. They will cry most of the flight or be awake. I would sleep for 2 hours when I got to the hotel. We also would ask for a bed sheet and put it in the floor in the hotel room. We did not want our twins playing on a Hotel bare floor. We also would keep baby Tylenol in case one got a fever. We leaned the hard way at 11pm at night on a vacation. Nothing was open to get medicine. Also. We plan ahead and get the nearest urgent care in case of an accident. Nice video!

[@llpeterson221]

Does gate checking the stroller work for international flights too?

[@0430amethyst]

Is a diaper bag part of personal item/carry on luggage rule? Or is it an exemption?

[@jjeyra1056]

Tomorrow is a flight for me & my 1y6m old baby boy.. Wish the best for me 😁

Next month my first travel with my daughter she is 18 months old too im soo excited 😁

[@memeeebimpabxj4126]

When it comes to toddler essentials I like to keep a low profile I don’t like using toddler cups because they’re just such a hassle for me so I like to keep a cup of warm milk and warm up monitor to warm up her milk and then after that I put in a baby bottle and then I put it in the fridge and then I let it sit and then the baby bottles ready to go. And if you’re asking how does it warm up for some reason she doesn’t like hot or warm milk I think cold milk is just better for her and yes I use a baby formula I don’t use regular milk

[@christinaflores]

I just got back last night from a trip with my 1 year old! I flew solo and was nervous about it😬 but I did most of the things you mentioned. Plus, flying during her nap times! We weren’t lucky on our way back...started at Lax around 830am and didn’t get back to our home until 230am due to bad weather and unplanned stop in South Dakota😳 but literally all those tips saved me!!!

[@anyssaj8315]

Do you have to put his snacks in ziploc bags or can you bring it in the containers and boxes it comes in?

[@yolandadespain2414]

My daughter (almost 9 months old) has traveled from Virginia to Orange County many times now. Flying home next week for the holidays and then a road trip back home in March. One good tip is scheduling a flight during their happy hours. For us, early morning trips are best because once the late afternoon/evening rolls around she is pissssssy.

[@couturecutie22]

This came at the perfect time! We’re going on a trip next week and I’ve been stressing about flying with my son. He’s about a month older then your son and very active. Only concern I have is boarding last. We are flying Southwest and it’s open seating. I’m worried if we do that I will be separated from my husband and won’t get a window seat. Any suggestions?

[@Meesam.]

The best thing is to board first in that case

It's nice to have help, but I never put my life on hold because of travelling alone with my now 2.5 y/o...I've helped so many women in the airport out whether I was with someone or alone.

[@jenniferharper5768]

Cicooka I always recommend buying baby their own seat if you can. They can sit in their car seat and relax or sleep but you can still take them out when the seatbelt light isn’t on. For me I find it much easier than trying to hold a wiggly baby the entire time. Lots of snacks and toys to entertain them for sure

Best tip is don't take them on planes at all. Show some consideration for the other passengers on the plane. Flights are expensive and the least I expect is to travel in comfort and peace and quiet. Airlines should put them all together in the back of the plane like they used to do with smokers and let them annoy each other. Its time the silent majority spoke up against these selfish and inconsiderate parents. Its ironic that these brats are on the plane for free but they make life a misery for fare paying passengers.
