With summer around the corner, today we're sharing our best tips and tricks for traveling with kids. From packing an extra pacifier (in a different suitcase!) to always, always, always packing plastic bags—these travel hacks are, of course, inspired by personal experience. We also share our favorite mantras, lessons we learned the hard way, and the travel MVPs we've added to our bags of tricks over the years. Plus, you'll hear Ashlee and Katie gasp in disbelief at Jill's gross-but-heartwarming story about something a stranger did for her at an airport. This episode is sponsored by our favorite travel MVP of all time: SNACKS. (Just kidding. We have no sponsors. This episode is brought to you by our Patrons. As always.)

Whether you're heading out for a long weekend or an international adventure this summer, we hope you have a memorable time! Don't forget: just say no to supersize Gatorade.
