My Hashimoto's Journey Part 2

8/3/2023

A few months ago, I shared my diagnosis of Hashimoto's and the initial things I learned about the autoimmune condition. So, I thought I'd share what I've been doing to move my Hashimoto's into regression and how it's going. Overall, I have to say that thus far I am very pleased with treating and taking care of my body naturally.

Is a Compact Stroller Worth It?

I think to the rest of the world, or at least countries with tiny streets and cars, and regular use of public transportation, compact strollers are just regular strollers. But everything's bigger in America isn't it?

And when we were planning for our first family trip to Europe, I (thankfully!) realized we needed another stroller...

Why everyone needs to try a sound bath

Post sound bath: glowing, fulfilled, and utterly happy.
I recently had the opportunity to experience a sound bath. It's not something I had previously had any interest in trying. Admittedly, I even thought it might be a little too woo woo. But I am so glad that I had this experience, because I never knew I could feel this type of relaxation and peace...

I have Hashimoto's and here's what I've learned thus far...

Borrowed this infographic from Center Springs MD.
I recently learned that I have Hashimoto's, an autoimmune condition that can cause hypothyroidism. I'm actually not particularly surprised, but I think I'm still processing/figuring out how exactly I feel, because I'm mostly annoyed at my main doctors for brushing off my previous complaints and just telling me to eat less carbs and sugar, and work out more. So, I wanted to share a few things I've learned thus far, because apparently 10% of women in the U.S. have Hashimoto's and it's the #1 cause for hypothyroidism in the U.S. And though thyroid issues commonly affect women, it can also affect men.

Do Toddlers Experience Confusion When Learning Multiple Languages?

I knew since before I ever became a parent, I would want to raise my child multilingual. And like with anything parenting or motherhood related, there were always a few judgmental comments - usually related to speech delay or confusion. We experienced neither of these, but instead have only witnessed the incredible machine that is a toddler's brain. Here are a few fascinating things I've observed (of course, every child is different so this is just our experience).

The Unexpected Result of Cutting Down on Meat in My Diet

11/15/2022

If you're subscribed to my newsletter, then you know that I have drastically reduced my consumption of meat. It's a decision I made out of concern for the environment and my health. And long before I ever considered reducing meat in my life, I used to always think that I could "never" entirely give up meat, because I'd miss a good steak - especially my dad's steak. Or I'd miss other things like meat pies and I don't now, the occasional burger but...

Seeing My Words Come to Life

This week, I went up to San Francisco to visit the set of my first movie. And by my first movie I mean, the first that I've written. I've made a number of movies and been on a number of sets, but this time being on set was different. It was different, because I was getting a glimpse of my words coming to life for a special story. Even my friend and co-writer who rarely cares to go to set, wanted to fly up for this movie. There are no teasers or spoilers in this post, but I wanted to share this special experience with you.

5 Learning Shows on YouTube for Toddlers

6/15/2022

I constantly feel guilty for how much screen time my son gets. But often, when it's just the two of us and I need to get work done or do something around the house that he can't "help" me with, I need a little help from "Baby Bus" or "Leo the Truck." Sometimes I'm just freaking exhausted and need a few extra z's in the morning, so I let him watch while we cuddle or while he eats breakfast.

That being said, I have noticed that with the shows I let him watch, he is actually learning and engaging with the programs, and I think it's because they're designed in a way to teach kids. They're designed in a way to teach him in ways I can't or don't know how to. So, I wanted to share a few of the ones we enjoy at home, in case anyone else needs a little help from adventurous pandas or busy vehicles.
