Happy Tuesday! 🤗

I was thinking about what would be most helpful to share this week—and with so many families hitting the road (or the skies) for Thanksgiving, a few doable travel tips felt just right.

Whether you’re flying, driving, or sleeping somewhere different, these quick reminders can help make the next week a little smoother—and maybe even more enjoyable.

1. Flights: handle delays like a pro

• Download the airline app for delay + gate updates.
• Pack a “delay kit”: snacks, meds, chargers, wipes, water bottles, and one small activity per kid.
• If a delay threatens your connection, get in line at the desk and start a chat in the app.

Mindset: Expect one thing to go wrong, and be pleasantly surprised when it doesn’t.

2. Road trips: think in 2–3 hour blocks

• Plan one decent stop every few hours.
• Keep a small front-seat basket with wipes, tissues, chargers, and snacks.
• Decide ahead of time what’s worth pulling over for.

3. Packing: make it easy on yourself

• Give each kid their own backpack for travel-day essentials.
• Use packing cubes by person so you’re not digging.
• Pack a family “arrival cube” with pajamas + day-one outfits on top.

4. Sleeping somewhere new: keep it familiar

Bring a sound machine, a favorite blanket/pillow, and a nightlight.

Talk through who’s sleeping where before you arrive.

5. Budget: set your “yes moments”

Pick 1–2 things you’re okay splurging on, and then let go of the guilt.
