We think that we can help a sister (or brother) out making those travel plans with expert advice from our esteemed travel blogging guest, Meagan Wristen!

Meagan is a travel blogger who has explored 29 countries, road-tripped more than 100,000 miles in the United States alone, and surveyed hundreds of cities worldwide. She offers travel tips, reviews of hotels and restaurants, activity suggestions, itineraries, and more on her travel blog www.mommytravels.net. Meagan is a featured writer for 10Best, USA Today, Travelocity, and many many more! She is a native Odessa, TX girl currently living in Dallas, TX as a single mom to Noah 21, Eden 19, and Jonah 15.

Meagan offers our “flies on the wall” travel recommendations for the budget friendly, aka camping, to the bougie, aka elite ‘spendy’ hotel/spa experiences. She also has recommendations for Apps for anyone looking for show tickets in NYC.

Epidsode 3: Roam Ranch & Force of Nature Meats

I can’t believe spring is here and how incredible this weather has been. Everything is starting to bloom, and it’s just gorgeous. Speaking of seasons, I have been looking forward to sharing this interview with Marshall Seedorff since visiting with him in the fall. Marshall is the VP of Sales for Force of Nature, which is a regenerative focused meat company that works with different farms and ranches to provide nutrient-rich food that not only feeds consumers but the environment as well. I was lucky enough to meet with Marshall at Roam Ranch, which is actually owned by two of the three co-founders of Force of Nature, Taylor and Katie. They specialize in raising grass fed and free range bison, turkey, chicken and ducks year round. It was incredible to see and photograph the bison herd and learn all about their regenerative practices. And all I have to say is if you aren’t hungry now before listening to this episode, you will most likely be craving a bison burger after. And if you are hungry now, well good luck to you.
