Holiday Travel season is upon us. We know a lot of families out there travel for the holidays to visit relatives, and sometimes, that means a road trip. Let’s be honest, sometimes travel in the car for road trips, long or short can be cumbersome because you just don’t know what to do. You don’t want to pack a crazy amount of stuff and there’s only so many creative things you can think of to entertain the kids on your own.

Well...we’ve found a great tool that fellow mamas can utilize while in the car to help create memories and foster relationship building. One more tool in your tool box is always a good thing, right? Joining us on this episode, is JJ Campbell, toddler mom and podcast host of Along for the Ride, an interactive family experience designed for kids and adults to listen to together. Each episode is unique with games and activities and short burst segments that spark creativity and conversation. Tune in to this episode to hear how to make road trips more enjoyable for everyone!

Anyone else feel like they blinked and it's the middle of November? Same. In this episode, I share a little insight into real life with me, LoLo. What I've been learning to help you think about what you can do to be the best version of yourself during this busy holiday season. I mean, all seasons of motherhood seem full, but the holiday season just seems so incredibly full, gift buying, family get togethers, cleaning, cooking...just the list is exhausting. I'm excited to share a few practical ways I'm protecting what brings me joy and letting go of the unrealistic expectations I've put on myself.
