In January we were fortunate to travel to Hawaii without kids for some great alone time, and then in February I went to Park City snowboarding with my co-workers, we live in paradise, I “should” have been so happy. I accepted help and have sought out more help (cleaning lady, nanny, meal delivery, grocery delivery, etc). I’ve also been working with an expert on some gut testing, hormone testing, nutrient testing, to get to the root of what’s been going on for so long. We found I had high h. Hyploi, hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, a few key nutrient deficiencies (low in D, omega 3s, zinc, etc.).

I love having the privilege of being able to afford quality care for all three of my kids (even if part time), and being able to work on doing something I am truly passionate about. To be a good mom is not synonymous with being a good housekeeper. To be a good mom is not synonymous with being a good tutor. I’m encouraging you to take more time being the good mom you are, and let someone jump in and help in the areas that aren’t your strength, or areas that limit you from being the good mom you are.

There are foods that help us grow strong, and there are foods that don’t, but it’s okay to have those foods sometimes too. We do fun taste tests and “challenges” with things that are junk food (Pringle’s, candy) but also fruit and veggies!! Experimenting, removing fear of trying new foods, a healthy relationship with food in general… is just as important, if not MORE important, than eating a carrot. It’s our role as parents to have healthy exposures to real food, offer it again and again… and for us as parents to ROLE MODEL those healthy behaviors 🙌🏻

Lion, Tiger and Bear started a few months ago on Instagram, sharing things that we as a family love. If you follow us on Instagram, the weekends are where we really have fun… sharing adventures like the Unicorn Festival, beach days, and dad being obnoxious at Costco 😉 We are so grateful for all of your love and support over the launch of our new Lion Tiger and Bear shop!!! None You can shop on amazon or target for everything… but sometimes, people like supporting the small businesses, the little guys trying to build something.
