Camilla Luddington shares easy snack hacks for busy family life with two kids

Camilla Luddington is getting candid about her laid-back approach to parenting, sharing how she navigates snack time as a self-described “Type B” mom while balancing life with two energetic and picky eaters.

The Grey’s Anatomy star, 42, opened up in a recent interview with People, promoting her partnership with Get’ems! Squeezies from Gerber, a new grab-and-go snack option designed for busy families.

Luddington, who shares daughter Hayden, 9, and son Lucas, 5, with husband Matthew Alan, said her biggest challenge is finding snacks that don’t turn into negotiations — a daily reality for parents of picky eaters.

“I’m a mom to two really fussy eaters,” she explained, adding that convenience and simplicity are key when managing their routines. 

She described the ideal snack as one that requires no extra effort and avoids the usual back-and-forth at mealtime.

The actress said Get’ems! Squeezies have become a family favorite thanks to their versatility and kid-friendly appeal. 

Available in flavors like Cherry Limeade, Peach Apple Twist, and Apple Sweet Potato Splash, the snacks contain no added sugar or artificial flavors and can be enjoyed either frozen or as a smoothie-style pouch.

Luddington shared that her children each prefer a different way of eating them. Her son enjoys the “pouch” smoothie version, while her daughter prefers the frozen “ice pop” style, making the product a simple win in their household.

As summer approaches, Luddington also noted that family life is set to get even busier, with sports activities filling most of their schedule. While vacation plans are still undecided, she joked that the season will largely revolve around t-ball, softball, and plenty of sideline cheering.

Beyond parenting, Luddington has previously spoken openly about mental health and her efforts to normalize emotional conversations at home, reinforcing her commitment to honesty and openness with her children.
