Frequently Asked Questions
If you still have more questions after reading through these, you are welcome to email us – we’d love to hear from you!
What can I expect?
To start, you’ll schedule a consultation at a time that works best for you. We set aside 45 minutes but don’t typically need the full time.
Based on everything discussed and the type of meal plan being curated for you, you’ll be advised of the production timeline (typically two weeks, but expedited packages are available).
Your meal plan will be created by family travel expert and homeschooling mom of four, Colleen Carswell, and delivered digitally for you to begin using right away!

Do I need to purchase/pack anything extra?
Weather you like to pack your instapot, crockpot, and rice cooker when traveling or prefer packing as little as possible, we’ll curate a custom meal plan that best fits you and your travel style. And if you don’t know or need best practice suggestions, we can chat through those as well to identify what would be best to pack – and what can be left at home – to make sure you get the exact on-the-go meal experience you’re looking for!

I know someone who would love a custom meal plan! Can I purchase as a gift?
Absolutely! If you know a family who travels a lot and/or has an incredibly packed and busy lifestyle, this would make a fantastic gift! We suggest purchasing the 3-day or 6-day meal plan package. This includes 2 snacks and 3 meals per day as well as the consultation, custom meal plan, and pre-done shopping lists (so all they have to do is hit “purchase now” and all their ingredients will be immediately scheduled for delivery). You’ll also receive a digital e-gift card to print or send digitally.
How much does it cost and should I spend the extra money to have a custom plan?
This is entirely up to you, but we can certainly give you all the information you need to make a decision that’s best for you. If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to first check out the hotel family meal plan to get a good understanding of everything you get with it. You might find that this is exactly what you need!
But if you’re looking for something a bit more curated – a meal plan that takes into account your favorite foods, dietary restrictions, allergies, picky palates, number of travel days, shopping preferences, travel accessories, and more – then opting for the custom meal plan will likely be the best fit.
While the custom meal plan is at a premium price, it will be an exact fit for your family and can be used for years to come, both on the go and at home (see FAQ “can I use this meal plan when not on the go“).
To start, there is an initial consultation investment of $87. From there, the final package cost is determined based on a set of custom factors, most notably the number of meals desired. We have clients wanting plans for just a few days to others who are embarking on a three-week road trip.
Here’s a breakdown of total package costs:
3 Days Snacks & Meals – starting at $150
6 Days Snacks and Meals – starting at $225
21 Days Snacks and Meals – starting at $575
Keeping the above price points in mind, if you have a particular budget you’d like to stick to, we’ll discuss during the initial consultation call so we can make a plan forward that best fits both your meal and spending preferences.
Keep in mind, too, that over time this investment will pale in comparison to the amount of time, energy and money you will save over the years thanks to your custom meal plan!

Can I use this meal plan when not on the go?
Yes, absolutely! Between busy sport seasons, work, and all that falls in-between, many families use their meal plan when traveling and at home.
During our consultation, we’ll discuss how important this component is for you and your family – as well as the generalities of your lifestyle and daily activities – so that the final meal plan meets your every need perfectly, be it at home or on the road.

How much time and effort will be required of me?
Honestly? Very little. The initial consultation is scheduled for 45 minutes, but we don’t typically need all this time (of course it’s yours if you want it!) After that, it’s in our hands. We’ll work diligently and swiftly to curate your custom meal plan within the timeline discussed during your consultation, and then deliver to you ready to use whenever you need it!

FIRST STEP: Book Your Consultation
The consultation is the first step to discovering how to create a meal plan that best fits your unique needs. We’ll discuss things like how many people this meal plan is for, if there are any dietary preferences or restrictions, and what equipment, if any, you like to travel with to cook food on the go. If you have kids, we’ll discuss their unique needs as well (bottle-fed baby, picky eater, etc.).
From there, family travel expert and mom of four, Colleen Carswell, will do all the work associated with building out your custom meal plan and shopping list that fits your exact needs and can be used over and over for years to come!
NOTE: An invoice link for payment will be sent after you have scheduled your consultation and must be paid prior to your call.
