It becomes my job to find activities that keep everyone engaged and interacting, from the 11-year-old to the 60-something-year-old. There's one activity that never misses: cooking.

Travel Snacks: For Families on the Go

What to pack in your purse when you travel - with or without the kids.
gerbersnackI once won a spa package at a business lunch for moms because I had a crayon in my purse. I was with a group of women, all executives, all packing pacifiers, Wikki Stix and other kid paraphernalia without our kids in tow. When I went to Orlando as part of the travelingmom retreat, I met a fellow blogger at the airport who wanted to stop for a snack. I saved her with my traveling food stash.
