We all know about the three “Trimesters” of pregnancy. But have you heard of the “fourth trimester?” It is a term coined by Dr. Harvey Karp for the first three months of your baby’s life.

If you took a survey of all the people who have met me, I would like to think the majority of them would say that I am a “COOL” person. And if you ask me…Well, I think I am a VERY cool person!

My husband is a competitive triathlete, and keeping him fed is important. My two step-daughters also love to eat; one is pickier than the other, which is always a challenge, but they like most of the tasty meals that we prepare at home.

As homeschooling mama of three, my kids and I are used to being together and home. Obviously, we like to get out too, but being together is usually our norm. Here are some of the ways we incorporate learning at home, fun, and time together in fairly simple ways.

My husband and I recently enjoyed a three-day getaway to an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica, alone. Since neither of us had traveled to an all-inclusive resort, we decided to take a trip in February and enjoy a few days of sun, alone time, and tasty food.

I’ve had many clients over the past five years who were in my chair at 3D Brows and Wellness for a medical or mental health reason. I started to notice that they all felt broken in some way and that they had come to me for restoration. My biggest joy is seeing the positive transformations that my services spark.

So, now that we have an infant, my love for travel has not changed one bit.  What HAS changed?  My perspective & expectations!

The extent of my food allergy knowledge used to be that my brother couldn’t have strawberries as we were growing up. I’d never really run into any other food allergy situations that would affect my immediate life.

If our brains and bodies are stretched up to or beyond the breaking point, what kind of message is that sending to our children? Enter mindful meditation.

Taking a long weekend girls’ trip has become our annual tradition. This year, there were 10 of us—mothers, daughters, cousins, friends. Everywhere we went, people asked where we were from. (Austin’s a super friendly city, y’all!)
