Our top 5 must-haves for traveling with a baby (under 12 months), toxic positivity & creating the ultimate playroom

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re sharing our top 5 must-haves for traveling with a baby (under 12 months)! Tate’s officially been on a TON of flights, and we’re finally feeling like we have it down. From our new 20-minute buffer rule (the stroller ALWAYS sets off the alarm) to maintaining routine with a few key constants, this list is fully battle-tested after 3 straight weeks of travel (ps. yes, we are happy to be home). We also talk about the playroom updates (spoiler: we might be going a little overboard, but it’s truly magical) and other home updates (how many times can I say Sherwin-Williams Pure White?? lol).  Plus, we revisit last week’s convo about the power of perspective—and unpack the difference between reframing and toxic positivity. In Things We DMed Each Other: an overemployed remote worker with a wild secret, TSA FINALLY ending the shoe removal policy, and a quick “Fail of the Week” involving a barbershop mishap (s/o to the very patient barber— but also, drop your thoughts on Harrison’s half-finished haircut 😂). WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
