I remember the first time I got on a plane with two kids under the age of four.

And nobody told me what I think I probably needed to hear to be a little bit more prepared. And I think one of

the reasons nobody told me is I was one of the first ones of my group of friends to have kids.

And so actually people were saying, oh, it's going to be amazing. They're going to love the

plane, like all these things that I would seriously never say to someone. And I went in with the best

intentions. I mean my snack box that I packed, my coloring books,

my removable stickers. I was like, this is going to be four hours of fun. That's not what

happened. It's definitely not what happened. And I think part of the reason that

first flight was, I don't even know how to say it in a better way, just so awful, okay,

was how different the reality was from my expectations. I mean, there might have been a moment

of fun. I mean, I can't remember it. Maybe there was

one spark of a moment of that, but mostly it was difficult and totally different from flying

without children. Today I want to talk about traveling with kids because it's something that a lot of us do.

And while it is so challenging, there also are some things we can do to just make it a little bit easier.

And that's what I want to make sure I give you today.
