Next Episode: 5 things to do to make your healthy eating habits stick

Today I want to welcome my amazing guest, Catherine Ryan Gregory of to and fro fam.

Catherine is a family travel expert, and let me tell you, she definitely taught me a thing or to about meal prep & planning and made me more excited to travel with my young kids in the future.

Catherine shares travel hacks and kid-friendly destinations to de-stress family travel. She founded the family travel website To & Fro Fam and is the author of Virtual Travel Activities for Kids and Road Trip Games & Activities for Kids.

Inside this episode we are talking all about meal planning and meal prep for a road trip. Catherine's advice is real and gleaned from experience (she's a mom of two young girls herself, and is managing not only pickiness in her kids but some food intolerances as well, so she knows a thing or two about food.

Inside this episode we talk about:

>The real challenges facing families with young kids who WANT to travel, and actionable strategies to overcome these roadblocks.

>Rocking cooler packing tips to ensure what you need is where you need it when you need it (bonus, your car won't double as a gigantic trash can anymore either)

>How you can manage family preferences, intolerances, and hunger while also getting to enjoy a blend of eating out and in for a seamless food experience.

>How you can manage your time to have food ready when it's needed without planning every single second of your vacation.

>How you can meal prep a few things to make a world of difference in your vacation stress levels.

This episode was so fun, and Catherine really knows her stuff! I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting with her!

Hopefully vacations are right around the corner friends, until next week happy (vacation) planning!
