It is through these podcasts that I've realized how much depth Zach has & how intelligent he is. He is extremely articulate and expresses himself so well. I didn't notice this on LPBW.
I noticed it in the later seasons. Like when he skipped the BVI trip on principle...didn't want to go on a family vacation without his mom. Super sensible. Happy they have this platform to share their viewpoints separate from the show.
I love Zach’s take on phones for parents with young kids. He’s so right! If we tell our kids no screens and then they watch us sit and zone out on our phones it really does send the wrong message in my opinion. So glad he voiced that!👏🏼
It's so refreshing to see Zach understand people working in customer service may have a difficult time sometimes. So often people who have NEVER worked in customer service and had to deal with the general public everyday moan and conplain or get offended like Zach said about customer service workers but dont understand what it's even like .
Zach show so much tolerance, i just love this kind human being. How can some stupid people think that being a kid like Zach should not be here, such a sweet compassionate person. Tori is also a loving wife to her husband. Congratulations to you guys for reaching 1000 subscribers, i pray that you guys would reach a million before the end of the year.
I remember travelling with my kids to and from Europe from Canada to Germany on a KLM flight and it was wonderful as the Personnel took over my 7 and 5 year old and gathered all the kids on the flight together and gave them games and entertained them the old flight. They fed them first an fed me after so I could eat quietly with my 2 year old…It was like a dream when I think about it. They were different times. My kids are in their 50s now. I feel bad about parents trying to keep a child entertained on a flight. The kids also often suffer with ear ache on flights because of the pressure. Love kids….
Zach, have you ever thought about writing a book of common sense? You’ve got some good wisdom thoughts. I seem to learn so much on every pod cast. I unfortunately never had kids, I get thoughts to help a family. Maybe together you both could write a book of tips! You’re both are amazing! ❤❤
My parents are Cuban and were forced to leave in the 60’s and never returned. My mother, in 2018 decided to go back and I accompanied her. We went to her childhood home that the government took from my family and the people who live there now allowed us to tour the property and even take pictures. It was bittersweet but pretty cool to see where my family originated from. I’m glad you got the visitors that previously lived in your home. It’s a cool experience.❤
I love how realistic u both are despite being celebrities. You’re both so humble & down to earth. Love how you celebrate kindness, often that’s enough to contain a contentious situation. You can talk to kids about how to handle a situation but nothing better than actually living it
Oh My Goodness, I really love this chat!!!! You both are so awesome being so honest and REAL!!!! Zach.... you actually made me cry because your way of looking at situations is so refreshing!!! I feel like I'm the only human with a heart and common sense. I have been a Roloff family supporter from the first day on television, and your thoughts are inspirational!!! I feel God in both of you and I really appreciate your sharing so much!!!❤️❤️🕊️✝️🙏 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 ❌⭕❌⭕❌⭕❌⭕❌
You guys are super AWESOME 🎉and that’s why we are here! Just “KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE STRONG” I’m so sad seeing couples get notoriety and fall apart, so keep your eye on the prize (each other and your children). 😉 #Familyfirst
You can definitely tell she’s working on it ❤️. I honestly hate for anyone to say anything negative to either of them because I know, thru the years, they’ve heard plenty from social media. Couples can be bad to interrupt each other 😬 lots of us could probably work on that ☺️
Sometimes people say something over others without realizing that they are doing it. I have done it before but it's never been intentional.or being disrespectful on purpose..
My mom was 88 and sold her home, she died at 90 and after her memorial service we drove by the old house ..... someone was outside so I told them who we were and that we just wanted to drive by one more time . They were so kind and invited all 5 of us in AND even gave us a few things that my mom unknowingly left behind. They even let us video.
In 1986, my parents built a 5 br, 3 bath Log House with a GORGEOUS stone fireplace. My Dad and Grandpa did all of the interior walls with tongue and groove pine, and my grandpa built the kitchen cabinets! All of us kids got to polyurethane our bedrooms! A couple of years ago, the house went back on the market and my older sister and I got to go look at the house and meet the new owners! We gave them a book with pictures from the build and even gave them one of the saw blades that was used to build the house! My Grandpa was an artist and he painted different landscapes on each one! I still have the one my Grandpa gave me, on the wall at my house! They let us come do a walk-through after they were unpacked so we could see it decorated for Christmas! They are such good people! It makes me feel good to know they love that house as much as we do! So glad you got your time with the previous owner. Your home is a member of your family, and you guys are doing such a fantastic job of making your whole property accessible to your kids! Love your podcast so much! I was born with a unilateral club foot. My left foot was completely backward when I was born. I underwent several reconstructive surgeries but my club foot is 2 sizes smaller than my right foot, and my left leg is 1.5 inches shorter, which throws off everything in my hips and back. I can relate to some of what you, Zack, and the kids go through on a daily basis! Keep up the great work! Congrats on 100,000! Before you know it, you'll be adding another zero and a comma to your subscriber count!
This is an excellent episode! I hope you do more like this as your kids grow and you travel more places. We raised 7 kids and almost all our travel was by road... camping, theme parks, beaches, fairs, museums, events, zoos, everywhere. Especially for camping trips, I developed & fine-tuned a near exhaustive list of what to bring (and what NOT to bring), that I printed out & used every year, adjusting for kids' ages, pets, weather, etc. It made my life SO much easier. I also made a great list on a single sheet of paper that I kept up on the fridge titled "BORED?" that listed dozens of little activities (both small & large) that they could choose from if they needed it. Worked great! I still have it (works for my grandkids now too) - I wish I could attach pics of these printouts. I've shared them with a lot of other parents over the years. 🙂
I love Zach and Tori and their podcasts. I get to know more about them and their beautiful three children. God Bless them all always and forever 🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is a good idea to have a bag with a change of clothes to carry on the plane in case you get stuck somewhere. Have meds, personal hygiene and other necessities, baby wipes, toothbrush, toothpaste etc soap, washcloths.
Yup. I don't have kids but a puppy now. But that's how I have always traveled when flying. I sometimes will roll my outfits, usually a couple in a backpack for a short trip. Either wash there or when I get back home. I also wear the same outfit for both directions and less connection flights, early mornings or evenings and more than an hour layover. I travel by myself mostly. With my new puppy things are different. ATM. Adjustments.
I worked at the convenience store right next to TSA at PDX. What I would tell the cashiers is that the people coming here from security should be given some slack because their minds are going 6 different directions. We’re here to give them a smile and assistance and take one thing off their minds. You never know when someone might be traveling for a funeral or something upsetting and your 1 minute with them can make a difference in their day and possibly their whole trip. This mindset works when you’re dealing with fellow travelers too.
My brother and I stopped by our childhood home after 25 years. The man was very kind and gracious. He invited us in and we talked for awhile. He raised his kids and now the house has been sold to another family.
At my childhood home, 2 girls knocked on the door and said our home was their childhood home. They asked to come in. As soon as they stood in the door, they started crying, and then ran out the door.
I enjoy all of your episodes. Can you do an episode on your walk with Jesus and how God was there during the hardships you have gone through in your marriage and with your kids.
I agree with the majority of folks.....teach your kiddos how to behave at home and (for the most part) they'll behave in public 🤔 🙄 😊 P.S. You two make an awesome couple an parents ❤
Just being real and being you, like you both are, is what draws us to you all! 🩷😁 Blessings always in your current journey of raising your kids and enjoy this time! ❤
I identify as childless by choice but feel empathy toward screaming children and their parents (have also learned to tune it out having worked retail all through my 20’s and 30’s but that’s another thing 😂). Everyone has a right to exist and move about world, and that includes flying. We need to learn to self regulate and coping mechanisms if children screaming truly offends our sensibilities.
Y’all should get a RV! We got one and we are in our 50’s. Zach would get to camp and Tori you can glamp! Y’all have so many beautiful places you could go and sleep in your own bed!!
Thank you so much for the advice about the neighbors and the one the seat next to you. Also thank you Tori for your advice about being nice to the people around you.
This is such a relatable episode!!! My youngest is two and a half years old right now, and so he’s still in that tough age of being to old to be fooled by anything (screens) and too young to be good at sitting still for a super long time! 😅 the half empty bag is such a good tip- when it’s time to deplane, all I do is stuff everything into one bag anyways! lol
My husband and I road tripped from Louisiana to Yellowstone and tent camped with 5 of our children. Broke me from tent camping but the experience was one we will never forget. Over 30 years ago and we still talk about it. And Zach is very insightful into what airport personnel have to go through every day. Being kind is helpful in every situation.
You two are wonderful people. Have you tried having the kids blow up a balloon or chew gum. Our son had issues flying because his ears were plugged and screamed until the flight attendant gave him a balloon to help him pop his ears. God bless you all. Thanks for sharing your love of God
We do TV but no iPads at home either. I think that’s the way to go. When we travel, we let them do kids videos or games on our phones or iPad at least halfway or almost to the destination. So they need to entertain themselves for the most part but once everyone starts getting antsy halfway through the trip THEN we bring them out to have a nice quiet end to the travel day!
I was on a flight from LA to Paris with a connection in Chicago. The flight was delayed taking off in LA and upon landing in Chicago we had to run, a la the McAlisters in Home Alone, to catch our connection. Our bags didn't make it on the plane, and were sent to London instead. Unlike my husband, I had an extra pair of undies in my carry-on. Always carry an extra pair of undies!
I agree with everything you said Zach. You have great wisdom in so many areas. Ive seen this about you since you were young and this is why you have always been my favorite Roloff.
This conversation brought back a lot of great memories of when our kids were young and traveling. We camped, but sometimes the campsites were hours away. This was back when cassettes were the rage! Time goes faster than we think. Love watching your conversations!
ProTip: The difference between adult brains & kids' brains is huge. What works for adults to wind down before bed isn't always relatable to what works for kids. We never had a tv in the bedrooms (even though I was jealous of my friends who did when I was growing up!). One of my daughters has 4 young kids and she & her husband made a routine from the beginning to stop everything and read to them before bed every night. I'm super proud of them for keeping to that, because it can be challenging. Tablets & devices are used mid-day at "quiet time" but they're really good to keep lights & sounds from distracting & stimulating their young brains at night. P.S. - Zach & Tori, you're doing a great job with your continuing adventure to raise good humans! 🥰
Lollipops! Great for combating motion sickness and for helping little ones ears pop on planes. Mom would stock up on the big old fashioned ones before every trip!
If you travel often, always have a pre-packed bag with all the things you always need, like toiletries, so you don’t have to unpack every time and pack again, one less thing to think about! Thank you guys, I enjoy your show a lot, y’all make very good points, keep it up! 😀👍👍
Don't pack your schedule too full. We were road tripping thru PA. We pulled up to the motel and I said if we hurry we can make it to the last tour at the bologna factory! In unison they said, "why would we want to go to a bologna factory?"
Parent contact info on a sticker on their shirt, just in case, of course written in small print so people can't read or memorize the info, maybe placed on the side of their shirt, less in view. Or, attach an air tag to THEM. Kiddos are so quick and easily distracted and can disappear in a crowd so fast! I think like Zach, eye on the goal. From point A to point B. In between is what it will be! I won't get caught up in behaviors of others, so many people are just so angry and look for confrontation so they can erupt 🤷♀️ I'm not their therapist😂 Kill em' with kindness or put headphones on/in. You two are an awesome team with stellar kiddos❤❤❤ Enjoy your trip!!! I love seeing babies and kids of flights, I try to get them to smile 😁 Congrats on 100K🎉🎉🎉 yipppeeee
I have taken my three oldest grandkids on a "decade birthday adventure" when they turned 10. It has been an absolute joy to do that and get one on one time with each kid, without their parents, without their siblings. I highly recommend one on one trips, if you can swing it.
I work for an airline in customer service on the phone. Those airport and inflight crewmembers have THE hardest job! At least I don't have to deal with it face to face. ;) I would say 95% of the customers are AMAZING, but the 5% are THE HARDEST.
Give us all the tips and tricks on Disney!!!! 🎉Pretty please! 😊😊 I went when my kids were younger back when Disney had fast passes. That was complicated and stressful enough, but now it just seems extra difficult!! Maybe I am wrong though! 😊
i was told to never worry about adjusting to baby as baby will adjust to you. in other words, do what you normally do. if you go out to eat a lot, or travel, or do sports, etc, just like you did when you were pregnant or even before, it makes it so much easier for them to adjust to a specific lifestyle. oddly enough, when my older son wouldn't/couldn't fall asleep, my husband would take him to the bowling alley and after being there for awhile, he would knock right out lol!
@ Zach & Tori; I have an unrelated tip for you. When you all travel to Baltimore, if you'd like a great real local crab eating experience, I highly recommend L.P. Steamers. 1100 E Fort Ave Your kids will love it. It's super casual. They put butcher paper on the table top, expecting a big 'ol mess. It's so delicious and a very memorable experience. And, no this isn't a sponsored comment. LOL P.S. This video made some very valuable thought provoking points. Thank you for sharing. ❤
We had a grandson named his wife come to our house. His Grandfather owned the house when he was growing up. We found out a lot about our house & we gave them a tour & they liked what we had done to the house. It was so nice.
Agree with others, bring extra everything. Found this out when we got stuck in a city because of a strike for airport workers. Luckily the airport staff went through lost luggafe to get us diapers and stuff, since it was 1am and shops were closed. From that point forward, I had enough to get through 12 hours.
I love how sensible the two of you are, I wish everyone was this sensible And yes Apple air tags are a great way to keep track of kids, bags, and my elderly dad lol, he loves to travel and see his family but I do worry about him, so I drop an Apple air tag in his fanny pack and bag and I can see where he is when he’s gone, and he doesn’t mind he actually feels more secure
Regarding flying in general, if you have ear problems and fly , the pressure in your ears is painful!!! Kids will cry and scream because of the pressure, I just cried when my ears were hurting during a flight . Hate it !!! Now I have to take a decongestant several days prior to flying or even driving in elevations. Love Raising Heights ❤ congratulations on 105K+ subs 🎉🎉
Another great episode. Love all the advice and tips you gave to everyone. Traveling isn't easy with kids. Hope everyone has a blast and enjoys the trip. Blessings and love and safe travels.
I’m guilty of screen time before bed too BUT as a health care professional, RN with extensive peds background I can tell you there is a lot of research that supports not screen time before bed bcs the “light waves” disrupt a more deep and natural sleep
Good rant Zach! We drove everywhere with our kids no matter their age. Exploring was our thing. They had stuff in the back of the car to keep busy with ( no Ipads back then) and we played games, like I spy and how many punch buggies they saw (volkswagon's, lol), etc. So many good memories! When the kids got owly, we stopped and got out and did more exploring on foot!
I love the picture story! I'm in a group that finds old labeled family photos and finds relative to return the photo to. I have returned a few and it is so much fun 🙂
I sat next to a young kid on a plane that was traveling by himself and I helped the stewards to make him feel comfortable. He napped most of the way but when he woke up he was not feeling good and started throwing up. I did not mind helping him.
When the kids see the parents or grandparents on their phones all the time I find the chikdren see that as important. When I'm visiting my grandchild (2 yrs) if I leave my phone on the table she immediately gets it and hands it to me, I notice she also always does this to her parents. So she has realized you use that device alot and it must be with you. I say Nona doesn't need it right now but thank you for giving it to me. It's the same with the iPad. It's kinda scary that they see the attachment to an object that must be with you always. Always carry a change of clothes on the plane. And for the people who dint have children with them, be kind. It's difficult these days to fly so dint make this all about you. We are all trying to get somewhere and kindness always makes it better.
My grandmother grew up in Washington DC after moving there from Illinois with her mother. My grandmother was 12 at the time. Fast toward to me living there when I was in my mid 20’s. My grandmother came to visit me and I talked her into going to the house her mother had built when my grandmother was a teen. We were just going to look at it from the outside but the owners were doing yard work and so we talked. They were the same people who had bought it from my grandmother’s mother and remembered them! They invited us in and nothing structural had changed. I saw how emotional it made my grandmother and I was so grateful they gave her that opportunity!
Love this family. I really miss the family on the small screen, but I am so happy that you two are doing a podcast. I hope you get up to enough subscribers for a gold youtube plaque.
Love you so much! Have been watching and loving since day 1! This is my favorite episode so far. You are both so deep and so articulate. Excellent parents. Excellent examples. Just… fricken awesome job guys!!!! May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family!! ❤🙏🏼💕🫶🏼
The store reminded me of a funny story I experienced, I had already put my order on the conveyer belt when this guy tried to shove past me & throw his order in with mine. I looked at him and said, " if you are wanting to pay for my order, feel free, otherwise you're going to have to wait till I pay for order. He looked kind of shocked but stepped behind me, then the person behind me told him he was going to have to get behind them as there order was also already set up, & he finally got at the back of the line where he belonged.
It is through these podcasts that I've realized how much depth Zach has & how intelligent he is. He is extremely articulate and expresses himself so well. I didn't notice this on LPBW.
I noticed it in the later seasons. Like when he skipped the BVI trip on principle...didn't want to go on a family vacation without his mom. Super sensible. Happy they have this platform to share their viewpoints separate from the show.
That's because the editing wasn't flattering for him at all. Like he's the black sheep of the family.
Seriously, I'm not kidding.
You're correct TLC showed him and his mom to be difficult to deal with.🤔@@SharonThib-o-dew
I agree! I would much rather watch this than the show any day!
Amen. Love the show
I'm so impressed with Zack s common sense family leadeship.
I love Zach’s take on phones for parents with young kids. He’s so right! If we tell our kids no screens and then they watch us sit and zone out on our phones it really does send the wrong message in my opinion. So glad he voiced that!👏🏼
@@calliehaynes8845
YES! That was an EXCELLENT point he made.
It's so refreshing to see Zach understand people working in customer service may have a difficult time sometimes. So often people who have NEVER worked in customer service and had to deal with the general public everyday moan and conplain or get offended like Zach said about customer service workers but dont understand what it's even like .
Completely agree with you Zach about putting your ego aside to not bring in toxic situations into your household.
Zach is so down to earth and practical, he is wise,great job mom and Dad.
Zach show so much tolerance, i just love this kind human being. How can some stupid people think that being a kid like Zach should not be here, such a sweet compassionate person. Tori is also a loving wife to her husband. Congratulations to you guys for reaching 1000 subscribers, i pray that you guys would reach a million before the end of the year.

My sister-in-law arranged for me to visit my childhood home for my 50th birthday! Best gift ever!

Oh please, she's allowed to talk... people do it all the time, talk when someone else is.
Sometimes people say something over others without realizing that they are doing it. I have done it before but it's never been intentional.or being disrespectful on purpose..

This is an excellent episode! I hope you do more like this as your kids grow and you travel more places.
We raised 7 kids and almost all our travel was by road... camping, theme parks, beaches, fairs, museums, events, zoos, everywhere. Especially for camping trips, I developed & fine-tuned a near exhaustive list of what to bring (and what NOT to bring), that I printed out & used every year, adjusting for kids' ages, pets, weather, etc. It made my life SO much easier.

Lol I bring everything but the kitchen sink!😊

Well said : I don’t seem to be a very tolerant person , something I need GOD to help me overcome, along with all the other faults.
Zach, your philosophy and logic is so amazing! I admire you so much😘 Tori you are an amazing mommy 😘

No...that was compassion....not passive aggressive at all...another mom totally gets it as they HAVE been there & done that ❤

You two are wonderful people. Have you tried having the kids blow up a balloon or chew gum. Our son had issues flying because his ears were plugged and screamed until the flight attendant gave him a balloon to help him pop his ears. God bless you all. Thanks for sharing your love of God
Travel in your PJs especially when you’re a kid makes everything more comfortable and TSA is so much easier in crocks or slippers than tennis shoes!
We do TV but no iPads at home either. I think that’s the way to go. When we travel, we let them do kids videos or games on our phones or iPad at least halfway or almost to the destination. So they need to entertain themselves for the most part but once everyone starts getting antsy halfway through the trip THEN we bring them out to have a nice quiet end to the travel day!
Because we all love you guys
I was on a flight from LA to Paris with a connection in Chicago. The flight was delayed taking off in LA and upon landing in Chicago we had to run, a la the McAlisters in Home Alone, to catch our connection. Our bags didn't make it on the plane, and were sent to London instead. Unlike my husband, I had an extra pair of undies in my carry-on. Always carry an extra pair of undies!
Kids are a true blessing from God!
GOD bless you , yes GOD told us to go fourth and multiply.
I agree with everything you said Zach. You have great wisdom in so many areas. Ive seen this about you since you were young and this is why you have always been my favorite Roloff.
This conversation brought back a lot of great memories of when our kids were young and traveling. We camped, but sometimes the campsites were hours away. This was back when cassettes were the rage! Time goes faster than we think. Love watching your conversations!
Zach rocking that farmers tan hella hard! Lol 😆 love you guys!
Great video! Love the topic. Congrats on the 100k subs. Well deserved. Safe travels 🌸💕
You forgot your wrapup tip to be last on the plane. Loved that one
Zach, You Have such GODLY Discernment & Practical Wisdom. You ARE So COOL !! Your Family is so BLESSED : )
ProTip: The difference between adult brains & kids' brains is huge. What works for adults to wind down before bed isn't always relatable to what works for kids. We never had a tv in the bedrooms (even though I was jealous of my friends who did when I was growing up!). One of my daughters has 4 young kids and she & her husband made a routine from the beginning to stop everything and read to them before bed every night. I'm super proud of them for keeping to that, because it can be challenging. Tablets & devices are used mid-day at "quiet time" but they're really good to keep lights & sounds from distracting & stimulating their young brains at night. P.S. - Zach & Tori, you're doing a great job with your continuing adventure to raise good humans! 🥰
Lollipops! Great for combating motion sickness and for helping little ones ears pop on planes. Mom would stock up on the big old fashioned ones before every trip!
In awe of the amazing man, husband, and father Zack has become. I've watched since you were a kid. ❤
Enjoy your podcasts from Virginia. Your children are ADORABLE!
If you travel often, always have a pre-packed bag with all the things you always need, like toiletries, so you don’t have to unpack every time and pack again, one less thing to think about!
Thank you guys, I enjoy your show a lot, y’all make very good points, keep it up! 😀👍👍
Don't pack your schedule too full. We were road tripping thru PA. We pulled up to the motel and I said if we hurry we can make it to the last tour at the bologna factory!
In unison they said, "why would we want to go to a bologna factory?"
Parent contact info on a sticker on their shirt, just in case, of course written in small print so people can't read or memorize the info, maybe placed on the side of their shirt, less in view. Or, attach an air tag to THEM. Kiddos are so quick and easily distracted and can disappear in a crowd so fast!
I think like Zach, eye on the goal. From point A to point B. In between is what it will be! I won't get caught up in behaviors of others, so many people are just so angry and look for confrontation so they can erupt 🤷♀️ I'm not their therapist😂 Kill em' with kindness or put headphones on/in.
You two are an awesome team with stellar kiddos❤❤❤ Enjoy your trip!!! I love seeing babies and kids of flights, I try to get them to smile 😁 Congrats on 100K🎉🎉🎉 yipppeeee
Love this episode! Zach you were right on with so much on this podcast. Thanks for the insight.
I have taken my three oldest grandkids on a "decade birthday adventure" when they turned 10. It has been an absolute joy to do that and get one on one time with each kid, without their parents, without their siblings. I highly recommend one on one trips, if you can swing it.
So sweet I love this!
I love this! I don't have grandbabies yet, but I do have grand nieces and nephews! I do believe a new tradition is born!
Thank you!
I work for an airline in customer service on the phone. Those airport and inflight crewmembers have THE hardest job! At least I don't have to deal with it face to face. ;) I would say 95% of the customers are AMAZING, but the 5% are THE HARDEST.
Ya’ll are the sweetest parents ❤️
Give us all the tips and tricks on Disney!!!! 🎉Pretty please! 😊😊
I went when my kids were younger back when Disney had fast passes. That was complicated and stressful enough, but now it just seems extra difficult!! Maybe I am wrong though! 😊
God is good to all your families who love watching you guys cheers
i was told to never worry about adjusting to baby as baby will adjust to you. in other words, do what you normally do. if you go out to eat a lot, or travel, or do sports, etc, just like you did when you were pregnant or even before, it makes it so much easier for them to adjust to a specific lifestyle. oddly enough, when my older son wouldn't/couldn't fall asleep, my husband would take him to the bowling alley and after being there for awhile, he would knock right out lol!
I love you two.
Thank you Zac and Tori
@ Zach & Tori; I have an unrelated tip for you. When you all travel to Baltimore, if you'd like a great real local crab eating experience, I highly recommend
L.P. Steamers.
1100 E Fort Ave
Your kids will love it. It's super casual. They put butcher paper on the table top, expecting a big 'ol mess. It's so delicious and a very memorable experience. And, no this isn't a sponsored comment. LOL
P.S. This video made some very valuable thought provoking points. Thank you for sharing. ❤
We had a grandson named his wife come to our house. His Grandfather owned the house when he was growing up. We found out a lot about our house & we gave them a tour & they liked what we had done to the house. It was so nice.
Agree with others, bring extra everything. Found this out when we got stuck in a city because of a strike for airport workers. Luckily the airport staff went through lost luggafe to get us diapers and stuff, since it was 1am and shops were closed. From that point forward, I had enough to get through 12 hours.
So impressed with the kindness and respect they have for each other ❤
Zach is the best!!!! He is adorable!
I love so many of Zach’s philosophies on life! Both of you are amazing people and parents. ❤
I love how sensible the two of you are, I wish everyone was this sensible
And yes Apple air tags are a great way to keep track of kids, bags, and my elderly dad lol, he loves to travel and see his family but I do worry about him, so I drop an Apple air tag in his fanny pack and bag and I can see where he is when he’s gone, and he doesn’t mind he actually feels more secure
Zach! Yes! On point 🎯
Really enjoy how positive and wise Zach is about life. Exactly how I strive to be every single day. Thank you, Zach! ✨
Regarding flying in general, if you have ear problems and fly , the pressure in your ears is painful!!! Kids will cry and scream because of the pressure, I just cried when my ears were hurting during a flight . Hate it !!! Now I have to take a decongestant several days prior to flying or even driving in elevations.
Love Raising Heights ❤ congratulations on 105K+ subs 🎉🎉
Another great episode. Love all the advice and tips you gave to everyone. Traveling isn't easy with kids. Hope everyone has a blast and enjoys the trip. Blessings and love and safe travels.
I’m guilty of screen time before bed too BUT as a health care professional, RN with extensive peds background I can tell you there is a lot of research that supports not screen time before bed bcs the “light waves” disrupt a more deep and natural sleep
Good rant Zach! We drove everywhere with our kids no matter their age. Exploring was our thing. They had stuff in the back of the car to keep busy with ( no Ipads back then) and we played games, like I spy and how many punch buggies they saw (volkswagon's, lol), etc. So many good memories! When the kids got owly, we stopped and got out and did more exploring on foot!
I love the picture story! I'm in a group that finds old labeled family photos and finds relative to return the photo to. I have returned a few and it is so much fun 🙂
I sat next to a young kid on a plane that was traveling by himself and I helped the stewards to make him feel comfortable. He napped most of the way but when he woke up he was not feeling good and started throwing up. I did not mind helping him.
When the kids see the parents or grandparents on their phones all the time I find the chikdren see that as important. When I'm visiting my grandchild (2 yrs) if I leave my phone on the table she immediately gets it and hands it to me, I notice she also always does this to her parents. So she has realized you use that device alot and it must be with you. I say Nona doesn't need it right now but thank you for giving it to me. It's the same with the iPad. It's kinda scary that they see the attachment to an object that must be with you always. Always carry a change of clothes on the plane. And for the people who dint have children with them, be kind. It's difficult these days to fly so dint make this all about you. We are all trying to get somewhere and kindness always makes it better.
My grandmother grew up in Washington DC after moving there from Illinois with her mother. My grandmother was 12 at the time. Fast toward to me living there when I was in my mid 20’s. My grandmother came to visit me and I talked her into going to the house her mother had built when my grandmother was a teen. We were just going to look at it from the outside but the owners were doing yard work and so we talked. They were the same people who had bought it from my grandmother’s mother and remembered them! They invited us in and nothing structural had changed. I saw how emotional it made my grandmother and I was so grateful they gave her that opportunity!

The store reminded me of a funny story I experienced, I had already put my order on the conveyer belt when this guy tried to shove past me & throw his order in with mine. I looked at him and said, " if you are wanting to pay for my order, feel free, otherwise you're going to have to wait till I pay for order. He looked kind of shocked but stepped behind me, then the person behind me told him he was going to have to get behind them as there order was also already set up, & he finally got at the back of the line where he belonged.
What a great conversation. I hope everything goes well. God bless you all. 😀👍👍👍
