Travel Essentials For Moms
Traveling with kids is… a sport.
You deserve to enjoy the trip too — not just survive it.
This section is not about diaper bags, entertainment bins, or snack logistics.
This is about you feeling like a person on vacation — not a cruise director with a backpack.
Mom Tip #1: Your Comfort Counts Pack the hoodie you actually love, the socks you’ll actually wear, and the lip balm you guard with your life. We are not suffering in silence on vacation.
Mom Tip #2: Plan One “Peace Treat” a Day Not self-care. Nervous system-care. Examples: A 10-minute coffee alone. A shower that lasts longer than 45 seconds. A walk. A deep breath where no one touches you.
Mom Tip #3: Protect Your Energy Like It’s Part of the Packing List Traveling with kids means you need to stay cool, hands-free, and one step ahead — literally. Small things… big difference in how you move through the day.
Mom Tip #4: Drink Water and Stretch Your Shoulders We are not getting through vacation on iced coffee alone (even though we will try).
Mom Tip #5: Wear the Comfortable Shoes Do not let Instagram convince you otherwise.
Mom Tip #6: Bring One “Non-Negotiable” Comfort Whether it’s your favorite face wash, your airflow pillow, or the coffee pods you trust with your entire personality… pack it.
A happier mom = a smoother trip for everyone.
Mom Tip #7: Pack Your “Always in My Bag” Favorites A few tiny lifesavers go a long way — reusable makeup cloths, ginger drops, salve tins, or a mini fan. Small things… big sanity.
