Manage Your Time with Kids
As a mother, managing time can seem like an impossible task. With little ones constantly demanding our attention, it may seem like the days blend together and time slips away. 
However, I have found that with a few simple adjustments, managing time can become much easier.


First and foremost, it’s important to create a schedule. This may seem daunting, but trust me, it’s worth it. Plan out your entire day, from waking up in the morning to getting the little ones to bed at night. Allocate specific times for meal times, nap times, and play times. By doing this, you’ll find yourself with pockets of time throughout the day where you can get things done.

Now, let’s talk about those pockets of time. As mothers, we’ve all heard the phrase “sleep when the baby sleeps.” 

While this is great advice, it’s not always feasible. Instead, use those precious moments to tackle something on your to-do list. Whether it’s folding laundry, washing dishes, or responding to emails, use that time wisely. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish in just a few minutes.


Another helpful tip is to involve your children in your tasks. Give them a small task to complete, such as putting away their toys or helping to set the table. This not only helps you get things done, but it also teaches your children responsibility and independence.


Of course, there will be moments when everything seems to fall apart. You may have a sick child, a last-minute appointment, or simply a day where nothing seems to go right. In these moments, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to take a break. Give yourself permission to take a step back, breathe, and regroup.


As mothers, we often put ourselves last on the list of priorities. However, it’s important to remember that taking care of ourselves is just as important as taking care of our children. Make time for yourself each day, even if it’s just a few minutes to read a book or take a hot bath.


In the end, managing time with children is all about finding a balance. It’s important to have a schedule and be productive, but it’s also important to be present with our children and create meaningful moments. 


So, embrace the chaos, relish the touching moments, and remember to find humor in the craziness that is motherhood.

Meet Heather Martin

 
The sterile scent of hospitals, the hushed, hopeful whispers, and the gnawing fear that lives in every waiting room – these became the unwanted backdrop of my life. It wasn't a single event, but a relentless series of challenges that slowly, profoundly, reshaped my understanding of health and ultimately, my purpose.

It began with my own daughter's cancer diagnosis. The helplessness I felt was amplified a thousandfold. As we navigated her treatment, I scrutinized every aspect of her care, seeking not just survival, but thriving. I began to ask different questions, looking beyond the conventional to see how diet, lifestyle, and a holistic approach could support her body through the immense challenges she faced.

Then, the world tilted on its axis with my beloved father. His terminal cancer diagnosis was a crushing blow, an unyielding reality that traditional medicine, for all its marvels, couldn't alter. We watched, we hoped, we grieved. In the midst of that raw pain, a seed of curiosity took root: Was there more to healing than what we were being told?

My own body then sent a jarring message. I experienced a hemiplegic migraine, an terrifying event that starkly mimicked stroke-like symptoms. The sudden loss of function, the fear, the uncertainty – it was a profound wake-up call. It forced me to confront my own health, which I had unconsciously neglected while caring for others. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I truly understood the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

I realized then that I didn't just want to heal; I wanted to understand why we get sick and how to build true, resilient health from the ground up. I wanted to change the trajectory of my own life, and more importantly, my family's life, away from chronic illness and towards vibrant well-being.

This intense, personal journey ignited an unshakeable passion within me. I devoured knowledge, exploring functional nutrition, mind-body practices, and the profound impact of lifestyle on health. I became an integrative health practitioner because I couldn't keep this newfound understanding to myself. My deepest desire is to guide others through their own health challenges, to empower them with the knowledge and tools to create their own new beginnings, and to help them rewrite their family's health story, just as I've strived to do for my own. It's not just a profession; it's a calling born from love, loss, and a relentless hope for a healthier future for all.
