It is a great Friday when Jen uploads a packing video. :)

[@damianrex8847]

I realize Im kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?

[@jacobyarlo9422]

@Damian Rex lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@LisainCalifornia]

We always bought our kids their own seats on the airplane when they were babies--it was just safer and more comfortable because you could strap them into their car seat on the plane. I really recommend it!

[@bethanythompson9909]

Get TSA Pre Check and you don’t need to separate or remove liquids through security :)

[@delle3955]

Bethany Thompson, yes, it’s such a lifesaver as we travel often with our 2 yr old.

[@WithWonder]

I definitely need to look into this!

[@AmyCT622]

Love your packing videos!!! I love packing too!!! You have helped with all my disney packing trips tremendously!!! I think you are the one that first gave me the idea of using packing cubes a longgg time ago....

[@WithWonder]

Packing cubes are life!

[@madisonjacobs5408]

I love packing videos too! The Tumi bag looks great and functional. Thank you for sharing and safe travels on all your future trips.

[@WithWonder]

It truly is! I love it 😊

[@sarahchetty3309]

Donny doesn't need to be 2 to buy him his own seat. You can get him one and put him in a car seat. It's actually significantly safer than having him in your lap

[@amielawson8344]

Sarah Chetty Yes!

[@Prokomeni]

Sarah Chetty how do you guarantee that the car seat will fit

[@sarahchetty3309]

Nasa there is an extensive list online of what car seats will feat, but we have an airplane specific one we bought called the Cosco Seneca. It’s very inexpensive and worked perfectly

[@noneya98765]

I have missed your packing videos so much!!! Thank you for bringing them back❤❤❤

[@AllisonMcPhail]

Ahhh! I always love to see you post a packing video! Your original Disney packing vlog from wayyyyy back is how I first found your channel! 😊

[@pinkcandystripes]

Can you do an updated car organization video now that you have CC and Donny? We are currently looking for ideas! Love your channel (long term subscriber💕)

[@SheWhoDares07]

I loved this video! Could you do a video or blog post on your reusable bag system? Your efforts on reducing plastic use are commendable! 💜

[@johannakline2899]

I fly in 3 days with a toddler and two 12 year olds. This is just what I needed. Disney is also adding water bottle fill stations too!

[@WithWonder]

Amazing! That can save a lot of $$ too

[@jmcklewis]

If you're like me and in sticker shock after viewing this bag on Tumi's website, ($400?!) Amazon has nearly identical backpacks for less than $30 and they're GREAT quality!

[@PKotlarich]

What is the name of it?

[@lions1310]

I am in Australia so they are over $600 here 😱

[@lanawilliamson760]

busy happy mama I so agree! 😱 there are so many other more affordable options!

[@knitterglee]

The Tumi also has some leather on it even though it's mostly fabric... FYI for people who are vegan and watch Jen's videos since her diet is plant-based.

[@delle3955]

Love these packing videos! I’ve taken several tops from you over the years. I’m looking forward to our first Disney trip with our toddler this fall so I’ll be definitely reviewing your videos about that as well. Thanks for all your details!😊

[@bridgette712]

Thanks for the video- great birthday gift! ;) Charlotte's bag is so cute. Target $1 spot is a great place for on-the-go new toys. Happy travels!

[@lauralee9041]

I love to pack too. My son is off to Chicago, he is 26 and can obviously pack his own bag but I couldn't help give suggestions...not sure they were appreciated but he would have forgot his bathing suit! So even when your kids are grown your packing obsession will be helpful!

[@lindaalberts8770]

Thanks Jen. I Love all your videos. I did get several ideas. Looking forward to more. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

[@kristenclarkin7662]

You could put the diaper clutch in the back laptop area to free up the main compartment if it'll fit. 😉

[@WithWonder]

Probably but stuffed with 4-6 diapers it gets kind of chunky and I think that would feel bumpy on the back.

[@cynthia6055]

Enjoyed Jen, thanks......and I hope we get to see vacation vlogs too soon!

[@WithWonder]

I actually didn't vlog on either of our trips 😬

[@cynthia6055]

@@WithWonder And which is great.....more time as a family and concentration on the trips.......good for you Jen! Family before vlogs!

[@fortheloveof4]

Just the right video. Love your packing videos!

[@perryandmichelle]

Rumpus bandaid?

[@readingteacher1168]

I enjoy your packing videos, in fact that is how I discovered your channel years ago. I don't have children, but I do have a husband that is Type 2 diabetic and needs to have certain snacks handy and of course he NEVER thinks to have this things on hand - but I do!!! I enjoyed the ideas you presented.

[@katiekamm89]

I love your packing veidos!!! I miss them I am pretty sure it's how I found you and stated my love of KZbin about 8 years ago..... Thanks for sharing your sweet family!

[@juliaodgers2962]

Thank you for posting this! I got this same bag during the TUMI sale and had been debating if it would work on an upcoming trip because it seemed smaller than I thought it would be. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

[@WithWonder]

It looks small but it holds a TON!

[@kerryrice7143]

Love this video! Side note, your arms are looking fantastic!! You go girl :)

[@WithWonder]

Thanks! So many planks lol 😅

[@doandroidzdream]

I've loved the Tumi brand forever.

[@linnsoltwedel]

LOL! My father-in-law cleans out bags as well, but he cleans out those bread bags, that have no closing type. But then again, he lived thru the war in Europe in the 1940s so that might be the reason. They have a little more respect for food and things than younger people do.

[@amielawson8344]

Donnie doesn’t need to be 2. You can but his seat and use his actual car seat. It is actually MUCH safer!

[@simplysilent2980]

Love this! Love the snack bags. Great video.

[@Patty4580]

If you ever need to free up some space, what I usually do, is bring just one kind of wipes, (the unscented/allergen free kind), and liquid hand sanitizer. If I need to sanitize something on the plane I just squeeze a bit of the hand sani. on a wipe and use that. 😉 Just a thought. Thanks for the vid! 💖

[@WithWonder]

Great tip!

[@myviewfrommycouch2721]

Jen u really shouldn't put ur kids names on backpacks or clothes. I know ur an amazing mom but things happen and a stranger could call Charlotte name and she would go to them cause they know her name. It's just safer to not put full names so no one can call them by their names. If u want to label their stuff u should just put their initials and not their full names. But great video, I love ur packing videos

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

I was just coming to make that comment too. It might be ok while travelling because they'll be together all the time anyway but it's generally not a good idea. Especially once they're at their destination and people know where they're staying.

[@valerielovestabi]

I always love your packing videos. I currently carry a tote bag but the backpack looks like a great option.

[@kn781]

Do you still use this bag? You should do an update on the backpack!

[@Jinxyisms]

Thank you for this video (and all your others too). I love the Bumkins bibs too, they're great. I know this isn't the point of your video, but I'm totally going to order a couple of the towels from REI just to keep in my purse to use everywhere. I am trying really hard to get away from single use things and remember years ago being at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium (your kids would love it, you too) and some company had a booth setup trying to get people to start bringing reusable towels with them so they wouldn't use the paper towels in restrooms. I didn't do it at the time, but now I carry straws and bags so why not a very small towel?

[@jadeconran1]

Great video thanks so much for sharing Jen I always enjoy your packing videos. We pack every similarly the only thing I would add is an extra top for mama. You just never know and it’s so handy to have just in case !!!

[@WithWonder]

I did that up until my babies weaned

[@LashleyAnder]

My name is Lauren, and I love packing. ❤

[@crystalestey6262]

Check out stasher bags they are a great replacement for ziplock bags

[@susanm9824]

You are one organized girl! Love it!❤️

[@yvettekennedy1114]

Thanks so much for sharing this, Jen! I went ahead and got the tumi bag for myself and I love it. Charlotte’s bag is adorable. Would you be willing to share a video on CC’s school things - backpack, lunch box, etc. that you’ve been liking?

[@CheekyMissy]

Please please please don’t carry your passwords around in a notebook! If the book is lost, your entire life will be open to access by others. There’s a lot of apps you can get now that will secure your accounts and details. My favourite is 1Password and I’ve been using it for the past 7 years. If you lose your book, and someone takes over your accounts, they can take over your identity...

[@arwensaffron]

Have you heard of 1Password? It's an app version of your password book. It will also generate random letters and numbers for you if you can't think of one yourself.

[@ChocolateTeapot93]

I use LastPass. Carrying a book of passwords isn't a good idea.

[@user-ir9ym5gp5i]

Great video and ideas, thanks so much for sharing! 😊

[@RDens4d]

After several years with your Carson bag, are you still using it? Has it held up?

[@organizedmama78]

Awesome, Jen. I love the backpack. A little suggestion based on a friend’s previous experience. Pack a T-shirt for yourself in your carry on. You never know when you’ll need one in case of spills or God forbid, if your child gets sick on you 🤢🤭

[@amielawson8344]

Hydro Flasks are amazing!

[@cdavis0627]

What is a rumpus band-aid?

[@Lauralineluttringer]

Thanks for the advice on plastic, I sure need to pay more attention to that. Also I've tried for the past five years to reduce the amount of time I take the plane. Now I take it every other year tops ! I think it's important we all make little steps towards the environment. Thanks for sharing Jen ! :)

[@dianna2911]

You are so thorough! Wow, thanks for sharing! :)

[@krissyannedesigns]

Love that bag!! 😍😍

[@sunflower7089]

Great video! Love it! Please check into using a password app like Onepassword to protect all of your passwords? It’s so dangerous to carry them with you if someone were to get their hands on your bag. 🙂

[@WithWonder]

That's probably a good idea

[@bubblebuffy]

We've always bought a seat for child #1 from 7 months old. It's been great! With #2, we thought we'd be cheap and have her on my lap. Big mistake. We can only fly at night due to destination, airline etc and I got zero (and I mean zero) sleep flying from New York to U.K. Ugh!! She has her own seat on our next trip 😊 (she's 1) PS Thanks for all the product ideas for reusable totes, Diplock's etc! 😘

[@priyagln]

Hi Jen, please can you tell us how you are consistent with your organizational abilities. How do you go about organizing a thing/space. I try set up something but unable to maintain it forever. I have ocpd. So I could use your tips to keep my overwhelming feelings down. Thanks for being inspiring.

[@WithWonder]

For me, I know an organizational system isn't working if I am not naturally inclined to stick with it. Trial and error is how I find the systems that work for me

[@MrHannna]

Hi Jen, thanks for sharing!! Would you use the Tumi bag as your everyday backpack? 😘

[@lisahughes2336]

Hi there! I love your videos! Just a heads up that the link to the Cartier bracelet in the info box doesn't go any where ("page not found"). Not that I should be buying one ;) I just figured you went through the trouble of including it, so you'd want to know.

[@sarahchetty3309]

Where did you get those snack bags with the blue tops?? They look awesome

[@WithWonder]

Re-zip - on Amazon, at Whole Foods and Target

[@yvettekennedy1114]

Thanks for sharing, Jen! I always love your packing videos. This is somewhat off topic but I thought I’d share...have you ever heard of Beyond Meat? They make the BEST vegan friendly “meats” and they are so tasty! Try it out if you haven’t already. I love Beyond Burgers, which you can order at most restaurants.

[@WithWonder]

I have heard of them. I'm personally not a huge fan but I think it's great there are options like this readily available now.

[@shellygayle4657]

Where did you get the little password book? Would love to have one,

[@CASue1]

Love your packing videos. Do you still have your old, purple backpack? I was hoping to bid on that one during your charity bag auction. Safe travels! Sue

[@WithWonder]

I do! I've used it for so many years. Not sure I'm ready to part ways with that one just yet

[@iulia1985]

I love your shirt!

[@chantaldrouin-charters2956]

So, I love you and your videos, have been watching for years. But I must say, as I laugh, that I loved the backpack you showed and I clicked the link, and it's $475! OMG. Why do you tease me like this?! I understand that it's a splurge, but, wow. I'll be putting it on my xmas wish list :)

[@allielouderback6893]

Where did you get your reusable grocery bag at the end? Does it say the brand? I have spent probably $50 ordering failures from Amazon haha. I’m looking for good capacity and long handles. The long handles are the hard to find part, yours looks perfect!

[@melissafriedel3061]

Jen- what are your thoughts on using that Tumi bag as a diaper bag for a newborn??? thanks for all your videos!

[@Enjibre]

Donny is getting so big!

[@litabears]

Omg! I was so excited to see this video. Thank you and i appreciate you using less plastic with other reusable options. Most KZbinrs are still not taking that approach.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙

[@wellarmedwife166]

Our boys are now 36, 35, and 33 as of yesterday...yes, that =three boys under 4 at one point...my husband( now a disabled Veteran) was still a Soldier back then...so, deployments meant me being sole caregiver to three boys under 4 😂. BUT, on to "packing"... When husband got stationed in Germany, they were 1, 3 and 4. He was sent a few weeks earlier, while he arranged post housing, I closed up housing here...no biggie...I was a Marine daughter and thought I could handle anything the US Military threw at us. Until, that day I headed to the airport... With three boys aged 1, 3 & 4...and realized I was making that 12 hour trip alone.... I would have spent any amount of money to make it " easier"...this was pre tablets, laptops and DS's... And to this day wish I knew the names of the people on that flight that stepped up and assisted with my boys.... Would have been October, 1991, Atlanta ..New York, forget mid stop, Brussels, Vilseck... If you were on that flight...you were a savior who taught me a lesson...

I don't really see what's wrong about it. You name kids out loud in public as well, you register a crazy amount of times.....
