THREE TAKEAWAYS FROM 10 MOTHERSDr. Jennie Zolman is an optometrist and owner of the Draisin Vision Group in Charleston, SC and is a mom to three. She serves as a chair of the American Optometric InfantSEE and Children’s Vision Committee. InfantSEE is the October sponsor for 3 in 30, and we are so honored to be partnering with this incredible organization. Dr. Zolman is sharing her top three takeaways about infant and children’s vision:  Early eye exams (between 6 months to 1 year old) get babies’ eyes ready for learning. For school-aged children, be sure to have a yearly comprehensive eye exam with your optometrist. Many learning problems can be attributed to vision problems, yet this is rarely considered.  Give your kids' eyes a break from screens. Remember the 20/20/20 Rule: for every 20 minutes on a screen, take 20 seconds to look at something 20 feet away.  http://www.infantsee.org (www.infantsee.org) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/infantsee/ (@infantsee) *** Mary Pugh lives in Draper, Utah with her five kids ages 7-15. She is sharing three key takeaways for how to let your child quit without feeling guilty:  Know what your top values are for your family. Make a list of the things you value most for your family, and see if the activity in question fits in.  Try something else, and remember there is more than one way to accomplish a goal.  Don’t compare your family to any other family.  Related Episode of 3 in 30: https://3in30podcast.com/captivate-podcast/stages/ (Episode 063: Mothering Children of Different Ages and Stages: Tips from a Mother of Seven with Vanessa Quigley) *** Alicia Schick lives in Colorado with her husband and five boys. She is passionate about helping families get the nourishment they need during the times when it’s also the hardest to make it happen. Here are Alicia’s three takeaways for making healthy food happen even and especially when life gets hard: Adopt the mindset, “I can do this,” one step at a time. A new baby may not be the best time to make any changes, but what can you do?  Invest a little time to learn.  Create your own nourishing minimal meal plan. A list of healthy recipes made from ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. Ex: stir fry, smoothie bowls, or instant pot soup.

Through her Instagram, she provides a safe place for women to talk about sex so they can live up to their privilege of joy and fulfillment in sex. Ariel is sharing three takeaways about how to find more joy and fulfillment in your sex life: Find ways to connect with your spouse or partner. Sex is a combination of the connection we feel on other levels of our relationship: emotional, physical, spiritual, mental.  Know your body. First: know and use the names in your body, and second, start to notice sensations in your body in your everyday life.  Expand the definition of sex to inclue: pleasure, connection, closeness, warmth, tenderness, excitement, joy, laughter, trust.  Ariel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladies.talkinglove/...
