Mama’s Gonna Make It — 50.

This week on Mama’s Gonna Make It, Sarabeth, Anne, and Producer Tim dive into the wild world of traveling with kids, from Disney planning and overpacked suitcases to unexpected memory-making moments, bed bug paranoia, and audiobook mishaps at the mechanic. Anne shares stories from an epic multi-stop family/work trip involving galas, beaches, Disney, and a Georgia farm… all packed into one oversized suitcase she immediately regretted bringing. The conversation quickly turns into a real-life survival guide for parents trying to vacation with little ones while keeping everyone fed, clothed, entertained, and emotionally stable. Spoiler alert: as one wise friend put it, “With young children, you don’t take vacations. You take trips.” In this episode: Why lowering expectations can actually save your trip Packing strategies that make travel less stressful The genius of “go bags” and dedicated travel chargers Traveling with babies vs. older kids Budget-friendly ways to create “magic” family memories Practical bed bug precautions for hotels and rentals Medication and emergency travel prep tips Why kids remember the most random traditions forever The accidental Bluetooth audiobook story that absolutely sent everyone over the edge Whether you’re planning a big Disney adventure, a quick mountain cabin getaway, or just trying to survive travel with toddlers, this episode is full of practical advice, solidarity, and plenty of laughs.
