Daily Vlog | Packing for an Infant, Myself, & Hubby for our 1st Trip + Festive Drinks 

Your living room looks so light and bright now. I absolutely love it! Have a good wkend

I’m the one that sent the munchkin pacifier wipes to you! Glad to see you’re gonna be using them❤

I love what Larry randomly cracks up about 😂 random things you say make him laugh and I love it!

Loving the tv unit but why is the Tv so high up ?

Hi Mindy! Btw I’m lactose intolerant and live in the dairy land (wisconsin) so I love cheese and milk. There are lactose pills you can take with whatever meal you’re going to eat that has dairy and it helps break down the lactose in your body so you can digest better 😊 they work very well for me

Larry I think you're awesome, you remind me of my husband always so laid back. Have fun your guys' trip and be safe. Mindy your brows look beautiful don't worry about it.

I hope you see this Mindy and Larry - I use the "Ziploc Spacebag"s and have never had a problem. They come in a lot of different sizes and I use them especially for travelling, but storage as well. I find them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Hope this helps.

Larry is so awesome laid back. You guys are perfect for each other!!!! Love yall

I’m so proud of you!!! I knew you’d be a GREAT MOM!!! ❤

Mindy I have vertigo so bad. I feel what you are saying about car sickness. I take motion tabs everyday. Here’s hoping all the sufferers can find a remedy.

I know you're not going to show baby Silas, but it's still so exciting to think about you and Angela meeting each others boys and seeing them interact together 😊 as much as they can at this age anyway lol

Hieeeee! I’m sorry but I chuckled when Larry told the Starbucks employee she doesn’t know what she’s doing! 😆 sounds like my hubby. 😅 anyway, enjoying the rest of the vlog! Much love! 🤍🫶🏻

Mindy I heard that if you tie a helium balloon to a baby's leg, it'll help them be more active

Larry… was a cop… for many years… AND HE HATES COFFEE?! Sir, how the heck did you stay awake?! My respect 😳

Hope you all have a great day sending lots of love 💚💚💚☘️☘️☘️

And you think traveling just to one state is hard, try packing fot a newborn baby when your husband gets orders to leave a foreign country to come back statewide and you have 3 days to get household packed, family and traveling papers for the baby so the baby can eave that country to come home to America. That's a nightmare in itself, but have fun with Angela ansher family and be safe in your travels.

Hello I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting a video thank you for actually the several that you have posted during these past few days we really enjoyed them me and my daughter especially enjoy watching them and we don't have Instagram or many other social media platforms so watching your RU-vid videos are always a joy for us thank you once again happy holidays and please keep the videos coming as much as you can may God bless you Larry and of course you're beautiful baby ❤️

Happy Saturday! Have fun on your road trip. Can't wait to see your video.🍂🍂🍂🍁🦃I'm heading to Florida in December for some relaxing time myself. 🤗

So I work at Starbucks for the IVF benefits as a barista! Red cup day is November 17th and the holiday launch for all holiday drinks was on November 3rd. If you go back on the 17th of November you will want to purchase any holiday drink for a free red reusable cup :)

❤🫶🏽

I also would pack a thermos with hot water for card rides/trips in order to warm my daughters milk. So helpful imo!

You are very blessed ....so nice to have you both home full time caring for your son.

It’s December 15th right now and we’re in the third day of Blizzard 2022 for our area, so I’m gonna catch up on your videos!! 🎉🤨 starting from this video I left off on (hopefully) up to the one you uploaded 4hrs ago 😮😅

I have only used the Ziploc brand vacuum seal bags and they work great. The plastic is a good thickness, the zipper is really tight. I have tried the Target Room Essentials brand vacuum seal bags. They are poop.

Hieee! Love you guys! Be careful with Dramamine! It could possibly dry you up, just do a ton of research first. 💙💙

I love those bookshelves around the tv!!!

Sorry if I just haven’t ever noticed this but the fireplace you have in the dining area, is that the one from the living room or was that always there? I know you mentioned moving it into the bedroom but I’m just curious. LOL (the dumb things I notice)

I have noticed you are driving a SUV now sorry if I missed the video if you have talked about it but I am about to trade off my Murano and currently looking for a new suv. I love my Murano and would totally get another one if they would change the transmission in them but they haven’t. I wish I would have done some research and known about all the transmission issues before buying it a couple years ago but it has stranded us the last two summer’s because the transmission gets to hot when driving for a long amount of time when it’s hot outside. After being stuck on the side of the interstate somewhere near Salt Lake City two summer’s ago we called a Nissan place and they told us what was more than likely wrong and said there really isn’t any way to fix it and said their are so many law suits with them but we didn’t qualify because we bought it used. 😢 anyway was just wondering if you would do a video about your suv IF you love it. Do you know if it has a CVT transmission?

First trip is always hard. It looks like your ready tho!!! How often do you check the po box now?

*hi mindy! im new to your channel after trying to find some solace for my anxious thoughts around age gap relationships...you seem so confident in yours with Larry and I was wondering how you embodied that more and more, amongst the social stigma and the stares, not to mention own self jugements around the situation.*

FYI!! Starbucks Redcup day is NOV 17th and there are 4 styles of cute cups... I sent you the photo on your instagram of the photos of the cups.

Red cup day is November 17th this year! You were early :)

Woohoo! Happy Saturday morning video day! Thank you for the long video, getting ready to watch as we speak, lol.

I had the same exact problem with the magic bags!! I thought it was just me. I do have one that did stay, but now I'm scared to ever move it lol

Hope your trip goes well. Sounds like fun. I have taken many road trips and I always forgot something but there was always a Walmart somewhere in any of the towns we drove through. On our way home we would stop at the different Walmarts to see the different merchandise each Walmart carried. LOL It was a trip in its self. Have fun be safe.

Most babies just simply prefer one side over the other. They usually grow out of it fairly quickly.

I bought the 'Spacesaver Vacuum Storage Bags' on Amazon and they work so well. I have blankets in one that has been sealed perfectly for over 4 years. Highly recommend. They have 87 thousand 4.5 stars.

My daughters loved The Little Einstein’s toy. I highly recommend that one for anyone who is pregnant.

Omg praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus a calm afternoon & a new days in the life 30min vlog what is this early Christmas gift miracle haha LOVE YOU!

Mă bucur tare mult să te văd Mindy dragă. Văd că ai cumpărat jucării pentru copii .Când ai de gând să vi la mine spune.Cît mă mai duci cu vorba?Te aștept să vi cât mai curând.Al tău valentin

I never travel without my own towels! I cannot use hotel towels or towels belonging to (used by) other people.

You guys are a beautiful family and lil man he is so cute and so adorable and you are so beautiful and you guys stay safe

Believe it or not there are large vacuum seal bags at the dollar tree and they work great for me! I hope they work for you if you decide to try them.

Ok I don’t usually comment on a video I just make mental notes on the weird similarities My Hubby and I share with you and Larry. First off we have a 30 year age gap. Second we met in the most random way possible. Third we are going through the exact fertility steps with donor sperm and have now decided on ivf . Last but not least the eyebrows thing .. 😂 my husband has eyebrows that are so disturbingly long and thick and he picks at them to find the longest one like it’s a game .. Anyway sorry for the random comment love from the Ellis family in Milton, FL ❤❤

There are no vacuum seal bags that work in my experience.

Când îl duci pe bunic la Azil ,să vi la mine ok.Cît să mai ai grijă de el spune.

red cup day is November 17th

Enjoy your time with Angela and the babies meeting each other. you did good with the packing, love Liams bag , hope to see you travelling take care ❤️❤️❤️

Oh I thought you were uploading at 4pm! Yay ❤

From mom to mom, I always kept an extra change of clothes in my son's diaper bag. Socks, onesie, pants, jacket, etc. Never know what may happen ♥️

Happy Saturday Mindy ❤love your vlogs

Ce mai faci ,mai trăiește bunicul tău care aveai grijă de el ,sau a murit ,că erea slab rău de tot.

Red cup day is November 17 I believe.

When did you get a new car? Lol what am I missing

Anyone know what brands or where she got the makeup bag

Good morning Mindy 💕 Happy Saturday 🙃

Văd că a venit bunicul tău .Unde este soția bunicului a murit ?

My daughter uses those air tight bags and they have always worked. Maybe the brand you’re using are the issue. She used the Ziplock ones and she reuses them over and over again. Safe travels ❤

You guys are soo cute!!!!!❤

Love your videos Mindy :)💕 my fiancé and and his sister take lactate cause their tummy’s don’t like cheese either so hopefully it helps :) 💕

Have a great Saturday Mindy!

I have uses the vacuum storage bags from Amazon and they work great! Still sealed after a year!

You’re doing an amazing job ❤️

I always pack a lot more then I need for a trip lol

Ești din ce în ce mai frumoasă dragă

Hi Mindy Ma'am, 🌹 Good morning 🌞.

I use these vacuum bags and have had really good luck. I bought them on Amazon. Spacesaver Vacuum Storage Bags (Jumbo 6-Pack) Save 80% on Clothes Storage Space - Vacuum Sealer Bags for Comforters, Blankets, Bedding, Clothing - Compression Seal for Closet Storage. Pump for Travel.

Mindy! For your pump while traveling! Get a small separate cooler bag/cooler and use either use packs or zip lock bags of ice. When you are done pumping put flanges/bottles into a zip lock bag, and throw in cooler. I use the fridge hack for my flanges/bottles. I wash/sterilize them 1-2 times a day. It will save your sanity.

DOLLAR TREE VACCUM SEAL BAGS $1.25 Okay hear me out... I have tried alot of vaccum seal bags these are my Favorite so easy, straight to the point and have kept my stuff in great shape for 2+ years and easy to reuse. Its like scruches up insanely tight idk if its my vaccum but they work for me! Try one and see if it works, some dollar tree sucks but mines always have the Large bags!

I always overpacked when my boys were younger. My advice would be to pack what you think you’ll need and then reduce it by half. It’s a lot of work traveling with little ones but it’s good to have a nice process down. When you get home note what you didn’t use and what you felt you needed and make a list of your computer that you can print out next time :)

I KNEW you were going to hate those bags. I definitely fair warned ya. I have tried them for years and have sine trashed every single one of them. Thank you for showing us your packing adventure.

So excited to sit and watch you while feeding my little baby! ❤

Hi Mindy I enjoyed this video while my toddler is napping. 😊I also like your makeup bag, do you know where its from and if its still being sold? Also, that baby einstein toy was my daughter’s favorite last year when she was liams age and had to go to therapy too. Brings back fond memories of those days.

Also hahahaha I have to take drama mean all the time I'm so nauseous after having kids I have 2 boy and girl and drama mean saved my life!!!!

💛💛💛

Come to me ok

OH WOW YAY NICE FOR THE FIRST TIME I just saw your Cross hanging on the wall by the tv:)! Has it always been there?

Hi Mindy! Just wanted to ask about your mom’s drink on this video.. what exactly did they give you for “the strongest coffee” when you ordered. Lately I’ve been looking for the perfect drink that has the most caffeine lol

Red cup day at Starbucks is November 17th this year. Thats when you would get the red reusable cup

AND LOL when you were going through the clothes & numbers of them i thought, "and a partridge in a pair tree" lol .. is it pair?? AND is anyone else thinking these Christmas things yet haha God Bless you all in Jesus Holy name:)

Use the hefty brand of the vacuum sealed bags. I bought some XL ones to put our bedding in because I needed to put them in the shed and didn’t want bugs or anything to get in them and they have held up a month so far!

Just a little PSA! They do make breast pump part cleaning wipes. I personally really liked the “dapple” brand ones over the medela brand, but to each their own!

the Hefty vacuum seal bags are WORSE than those magic bags. I actually liked the magic bags lol

Hey Mindy I ordered an enzyme on Amazon that helps with dairy digestion its for people with lactose issues! It helps me alot! It's called Lacto. It's by Enzymedica.

try taking a enzyme called lactase...you can buy over the counter...see if it help when you eat dairy....

I found the magic bags were horrible as well. I had better luck with the ziploc brand vacuum seal and also the no name ones at Walmart. They were cheaper and worked better.

Most people who suffer from migraines, also get motion sickness. I also get sick if I read in a car, and I can’t fly without something for motion sickness

I live in canada and I've tried the zip lock brand vacuum bags. Work great. Bought mine at walmart.

Have you thought about traveling overnight? He will sleep in the car, regular night routine. It’s a life changer. Starbucks seemed to be just bad all the way around LOL - can you take the vacuum bags back? Get your money back!! I hope you have a great trip! Safe travels!!

I had a better experience with hefty seal pack bags from Walmart....if you don't like them you can easily return them but they worked great for me compared to the cheap "magic" seal bags

Try goat milk cheese, I can not eat anything with cows milk, I can eat anything from goat milk.

With my last child in developed a dairy intolerance. I have to stick wirh non daory products. And btw stunning family toy guys!!

Hay Mindy minx there are motion sickness glasses for when you're driving

Try taking lactose pills with limited dairy. I stay away from milk and icecream but I can do cheese with the lactose pills.

Sorry about your bags. I’ve had good luck with the original Space Saver brand bags. Haven’t used them in years, but they were always good. Enjoy your trip!

Good Morning ☀️ Thank you for sharing I always enjoy your videos :) sorry the bags didn’t work, when you mentioned that they lost their suction I ran to the closet to check mine I had sealed some baby blankets and they are still suctioned and sealed! So the brand I purchased was the ziploc brand I think I purchased at Walmart however I’m sure you can find them anywhere .

We took our daughter to the beach when she was right at 2 months old! The drive was not as bad as you would think! Yes we had to stop more but she slept all the way down!

I'm year postpartum and currently pregnant with my 2nd I never had dairy issue until after so I feel you 100%. Watch dairy and your grease intake. Have diary but watch how much you have.

Mindy Call the company of those stupid bags and complain see if they stand by their product they’ll probably reimburse you or send you more

My jeweler said to bend your finger slightly when removing your rings. He also said that water works better than oil if needed. I tried it and it works!
