I recently spent 4 days at a friend's lake house. Came home and unpacked; truly half of the clothes were still clean and folded. Plus I came home with two new dresses. Didn't even think to pack the trumpet, though.

Cleaning and getting random things accomplished before packing is spot on

I seem to pack EVERYTHING. I make lists, and double check everyone's stuff to make sure we have everything. Packing usually starts a week or two before, so I put the stuff in, as I go. Overpackers Anonymous for me....

My suitcase: 99% stuff I think I need 1% stuff I actually need

I HATE to pack. I mean, how am I supposed to know what I’m going to want to wear on any given day? 😩

The gym/fitness/exercise clothes is so true. Taken them on nearly every vacation and used them about 5% of the time.

I want to hear the rest of his poems from childhood. The ADHD is working for him because he is fun to watch and I want to see his creative mind as a kid.

Dear Kim, please get out of my head!!!😂😂 Truly one of those “Yay, it’s not just me!” videos. Love you guys!

Whenever a girl buy the dress and someone says they like it, the very 1st thing the girl says if oh thank you It has pockets

Can you guys do a mini series called "penn's poems" and read a poem from 9 yr old Penn each vid (at least till u run out of them)hahaha Love your video it felt so relatable.

I totally do THAT before leaving.....clean out allll the drawers, make sure fridge is cleaned out (“Y’all better come eat all these leftovers!!”), do allll the laundry (“curtains need cleaning, too, duh!”), take stuff to Goodwill, alll the things. 😂😍

We are taking a break from packing to watch this video. I feel much more productive now with the “mind break”! Glad I’m not the only one with packing dilemmas.

Just got back from a campout where someone did, in fact, bring a trumpet. I could hear him playing while I swam in the lake. 😂😊

I always make a packing list with the goal of staying light. I get so nervous when my husband runs around doing a million things besides just getting ready to go prior to a trip, so I can totally relate to that.

I used to be a housekeeper and please please don't make your bed at the end of the stay. Pulling all linens off for housekeepers is much more helpful, along with leaving a tip on the nightstand or table if there's a kitchenette. I've only been tipped twice and those times it was really thoughtful (and helpful as a college student)

So me!! 🤣 The peach gown looked great on you by the way.

Only thing I can relate too..is I too clean up and straighten room for house keeping. There job or not, I don't feel right leaving our mess for someone else. I clean up mostly everything so all they have to do is vacuum, sanitize, and collect the linens that I leave in a nice pile. I pull the bed linens though.. not make the bed so they know it was used.

Lol, Yes packing winter coats/ jackets in the middle of summer is an absolute must!! My mom always has a coat in the back of the car and water. It's just a given essential.

Literally just taking a “brain break” from packing right now. We’re camping, and honestly I wish I were packing for a hotel right now…so much stinking prep! And I’m obsessing with the weather, like checking it several times a day is going to change the rain forecast?

I do overpack. I bring like 5 pairs of under wear for a 2 day trip, like what do I think's gonna happen I don't need 5 pairs of underwear while I'm home

I’m actually the opposite I love to pack and I have to pack today to go on vacation

Her: “You never know when you might need a crimper” Also her: Holds up a straightener *Me: Wait, ....... what?*

Contradicts another video where Kim had to get all the laundry done to go on a trip, but Penn was like "Yeah, I'll just grab clothes from the hamper...still good."

You can hear Kim toot around 1:15 when she sits down LOL!

So funny!!! This is so true, When I pack I always end up not using more than half of stuff!!!

I always pack WAY too much food. And clothes. You never know when it will snow. 😅 Well done, Kim and Penn! 👏

sunny the dog jumping off the couch with kim got me laughing 😂

That bike thing is something he needs to discuss with his therapist.

So true . I mean I've packed Cardigans and hiking boots on trips to the beach before .

I'm in my 40s and I just planned and executed my first SPONTANEOUS vacation, WITH my family (also a first). I packed almost too little - we would have been exactly fine, but my partner insisted on dressing our son in his going home clothes for the trip TO a waterpark (instead of in his bathing suite, as was my plan). So we were one outfit short and my son hates wearing the same thing throughout the day even when it's clean so that was fun, but other than that I highly recommend it. All the stress of the packing I usually do all the week long prior, nagging others to do theirs, just crammed into one day and over with. No "I can do it later' from the fam (and they never do it, it's always left to me anyway) and I got to drill-sergeant a list and have them run around and grab everything in real time instead of them coming to ask me every 2 minutes where something is. Magnifique!

We are leaving on vacation today and this was totally me yesterday. I would rather unpack a hundred times then pack once.

I hate packing so this is me procrastinating as much as possible. I think clothes are the worst because you might have to do a load if laundry before you start.

Anyone else think that Kim was taken over by Penn's ADHD? ❤️ This was like watching a Kinn or Pem mashup! I felt this so much because I do all the packing, cleaning, loading, tetrising, and driving for my family and my ADHD wants me to go buy dresses with pockets!!! + Of course you need a coat! 🤣 I actually just went on a two night trip to the beach, and I was lost at what to bring because it was just me 😂

I have a checklist that I copy and check off each time I pack for a trip, and that has served me very well. It's weird, though, to realize that I haven't gone on a vacation trip of that sort since late 2019. Yikes! I need to change that...

KIm...one of the gardening gloves is on backwards-the rubbery part goes on the palms. (Silently taking Team Holderness off my list of plant sitters...) Happy travels!

Packing is always a big chore. 👝🧳🎒💼👜👛👓🕶🌂🧢🥾👠🥿👟🩴👞👡👢🧤👗👙🩱👔🩳🩲👖👕👚🥼🧥

As a vacation rental cleaning business owner please strip the bedding if you want to help, start dishwasher. Emptying the trash is great and I won't complain if you were to vacuum 😉

My family: going for a trip for 3 days. Also my family: has the entire truck trunk full. Me: /:

This is me RIGHT NOW..... on my "brain break" 😄😆 so relatable! Thanks for always making me and my insanity feel normal! 🙃 So what if I haven't touched it, seen it, worn it in.... forever maybe never but this will be it's moment! 🤔

Hey, girls - I think we can all agree: pockets(!) are worth the diversion.

LOL! The trumpet! It all hit a little too close to home!

okay but my mom literally every year before we leave for vacation does 1 million chores and its hilarious to watch XD

Lol! The exact opposite of me. "How little can I get away with taking and how small of a bag can I take with me?" I just came back from a 5 day trip where I used one of those tiny roller bags that can fit on Spirit airlines. That's it. No handbag. No backpack. Just that little roller bag. And I was mad at myself for bringing too much. =D =D. WHY did I break those tennis shoes? All I needed was the flip flops. =D.

Here for the poetry! So cute!

This is SO me at the beginning of the video...I always procrastinate when it comes to going on trips anywhere. #lastminutepacker I agree that packing is stressful! I hate it.

I’m 100% the mom that empties the hotel trash cans and straightens the bed before leaving 😂 I have 4 kids, I don’t want to freak out housekeeping.

1.39 gotta bring the trumpet. You never know when you'll have an impromptu street performance :)

I have packed tons of stuff just incase. However last few times I decided not to do it. I was so wrong. I had everyone needing stuff.

Oh no. Not me. I am like throw everything in the bag starting 30 minutes before we leave to the airport. Be that business trip or 2 week vacay. My husband on the other hand has been shopping for like 3 months for a new wardrobe for our next trip.

@1:14 the cut with the dog. Oh my god ♥️♥️♥️🤣🤣🤣

Cracked up at the poem…thanks I needed a real good laugh

The first part of cleaning random things is my husband when we're getting ready for guests to come over. Overpacking strange things is me on every vacation. Thoroughly cleaning up almost everything where we stayed on vacation...both of us.

Yeah, we're going to Guatemala for almost a month. All of this is me along with the freaking out about making sure i learn at least a tiny bit of Spanish, find a house /pet sitter and make sure we absolutely don't forget anything that we can't easily get there. I felt this to my soul lol

What's a vacation without a trumpet? 😃 lol!

I’ll start packing. But first I gotta hit the bar, see a ball game, play some guitar, and play Mario Party.

Ahaha, the air fryer was a killer!😂😆🤪

IT IS SCARY HOW ACCURATE THIS IS! I do end up taking everything I need but that's staying up all night packing. Hahaha!!! And why do we feel the need to leave everything clean when leaving??? Its more work!!!

We are about to go on vacation and this is my parents right now 😂

Best part of the video is Penn’s Best Poetry

True story, I overpack, always did! One time, when we went to Florida, I packed everything, but forgot underwear! Luckily, there was an outlet and I got some! 🤣

Um, that teal dress looked great on you and had POCKETS! IMO that was absolutely a vacation necessity!!

I did the exact same thing this year! Sorted photos by year, removed duplicates to a separate pile and read grade school writing assignments. Lol

1:15 that poor dog looking at her like 'what on earth is this crazy woman on about?!'

Oh man, this brings back memories. My mom would always WAY overpack , "Because you never know". 😁

I'm procrastinating on packing right now, and I have to have all of my packing done tomorrow.

I’ll just vacuum us out the door….lol.

I need more "Penn's Best Poetry"!

I love it when you talk to your dog and your dog stares at you. So funny

My brother-in-law is often like this. lol. Not the same things Kim is doing, but he just finds random things that he HAS to get done before leaving.

The gym clothes were spot on! I've packed a couple of sets for a week vacation, and I'm lucky if I go to the gym ONCE! But I'm always hopeful. 😉

I strip the bed so it's easier for them To recognize the bed has been used and saves them a step in cleaning. I also always wipe the tub the last day with my towel because I have love hair. And hair in the tub is the worst cleaning thing ever.

My brother was sweeping on our way out of the rental beach house too,, just had a laugh 😂

Those ballgowns are supreme though!!

Ballgowns with pockets....... I'm in love!

Omg-this is me! I come up with the most random things I have to get done before a trip.

Love the poem!

😂 This is hilarious. Love it.

This is so me. Just got done packing. I hope I actually have something to wear when I get there!

My husband and myself 😂100% 😂😂😂😂

I clean before I leave!!! LOL

Anyone else jealous of their wine rack?

Brought the air fryer out of storage for the trip 🤣

I never go anywhere without my Air Fryer but then again, I own a Motorhome which makes it a much more reasonable item to add and so incredibly efficient. I do need to buy an Air Fryer especially for the Motorhome which makes more sense than taking the one from the kitchen each time I set off. Luckily, I have always been a great packer which I learnt from a very young age yet not from my mother!🇦🇺

Made me chuckle 🤭

Omg yes! I always feel the need to clean the rental before we leave and pack way too much 🤣

Penn's poem was the cherry on top I didn't know I needed 😂

I love it when she talks to the dog so realatable because I talk to my cat & I had a betta & I talked to it

So totally the opposite! The moment I make plans for vacation, I immediately start planning what to take. Usually, I’m packed up two days in advance. 😆 But once I get back, it takes forever before I unpack.

So, obviously, pack lite means pack light bulbs...

Not me at all. I have mastered the art of minimalistic packing years ago. I can be gone for an entire weekend bringing only my small PackSaf purse with everything I need.

The sudden need to do a whole bunch of home projects before you leave... lol! TY!

I've gotten so much better at packing for trips over the years, but the first part of this video felt like a personal attack, lol.

I always wanted to be that person who did yoga on vacation!!!😂😂💗

Definitely live out that bike thing!!!

Kim packs like my sister. If we go anywhere for 2-4 days we really need a sherpa to lug her stuff. I bring one bag. If I need anything, I buy it. That has only happened twice. Once for toothpaste and then a hair brush.🤣🤣🤣

The one thing that you forgot is the suitcases was to heavy to get on the plane😂😂

Just got back from vacation and I didn’t pack any Jackets and the kids was cold every where we went. We had to go buy them jackets. 😂😂😂

We recently went on vacation with our three teenage daughters, and yes, half my husband’s bag was mine and the girls’ stuff. 😂

Forgot, it's 3AM and we gotta be at the airport at 7! Time to start packing!

Totally me... Love you guys!! Keep safe and healthy!
