Episode 24: Creating An Online Brand From The Ground Up - Work Ethic, Entrepreneurial Spirit, and Work Life Balance as a Mom with Lindsey Bomgren

This is the Dream It do it podcast, helping you create your own positive change while finding joy in the journey. Here's your host, Molly Asplin.

At the not so old age of 27, I found myself sleepwalking through the daily motions of my life. I was working hard in corporate America, but I felt this empty void. I was checking all the boxes, doing everything that looked good on paper, but something still felt off. So simultaneously, I just started working on me, both mind and body. And over the course of time, everything began to change for the better. I went from feeling burned out to actually being excited when my alarm goes off. In the Dream It do it podcast, you'll navigate the messy imbalance of the wild ride you are on. You'll light your spark again, find your courage, and you'll find joy in the journey. And maybe most importantly, you'll go after those dreams that have been tucked inside you all along. You're so much closer than you think. Welcome to the Dream It do it podcast.

Let's dive in. Welcome back to the Dream It do it podcast. I am super excited you're here today because I have a very, very special guest. You are going to love her. Her name is Lindsey Baumgren and I have followed her throughout the years. I've just seen her brand evolve and her evolve, and she is very prevalent in the health and fitness space. I have just, I've seen her grow. And you, as you listen to Lindsey today, you'll hear her mindset, you'll hear her work ethic, you'll hear her family values. And I connect with all of these things so much and I just really believe that the listeners will connect with that too. So with that, we're going to dive right in, Lindsay, share a little bit about yourself, who you are, your family and like, let's go into career and how that has just evolved for you a lot throughout the last few years. Yeah. Hi.

Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. And yeah, so I'm Lindsey Baumgren and I run a website, an online website for basically kind of like you described your audience, basically for moms who are busy and trying to fit in workouts at home. And it's called nourishmovelove.com and it offers free at home workout videos. I found my passion teaching group fitness and wanted to turn it into a business. And so fortunately, everyone knows what at home workouts are now. Like six years ago, when I started filming at home workout DVDs, when DVDs were still a thing, and now everyone's streaming from the pandemic obviously has changed things quite a bit. So. And how we all work out and operate. But yeah, I live in the Minneapolis area with my husband and two Littles. I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. And so it's. We're obviously we're busy, but it's. It's super great. I feel very grateful that my business has grown and I did start it before I had kids. So I had some, some roots in the ground to build off of as life kind of got crazier with kids. But having the flexibility to be a mom who can contribute to my family, but also be a mom when I need to. Me and Molly were just talking. My kids are home from school now because the pandemic and just having that flexibility. I feel like I would be fired if I was at any other job.

Yeah, I know what you mean. But tell us Lindsay, like, was this always in your plan to like be doing your own thing, you know, so when you're fresh out of college, like you. You went to college, got a degree. So walk us through that whole transition.

Yeah, I got a degree in organizational communications and marketing. So kind of in the business, the business space. I, you know, I always loved like journalism and advertising. Marketing was kind of where I thought I'd land and I did the whole corporate. Corporate job thing. And the transition from, you know, being I was a college athlete and just active lifestyle to sitting at a desk for eight hours a day was a really tough transition for me. Um, and so I, I knew I kind of always had like this desire to do something different than just sit at a desk all day. But I didn't know really what that looked like. I got into medical sales, which was really great. I love the sales atmosphere. And I think the sales atmosphere really lit a fire in me for that entrepreneurial spirit that I never wanted to sit at a des and you know, I feel like I'm a really hard worker and just be capped. Like, doesn't matter how good I am or how, you know, how much I work, I'm always going to make the same salary as the person sitting next to me versus the sales atmosphere. It was like I made whatever I worked for. And working on commission was actually really fun and it lit that entrepreneurial spirit in me. And I love health and fitness. I just always have an athlete my whole life. After college I got into marathon running and then I got into strength training and fitness competitions and things just kind of evolved from there. Got my personal training certification. Cause I Wanted to learn myself. But I really, truly found my passion in group fitness. Like, I actually was personal training people on the side. And I just, I didn't love it because I didn't have control over everything. I see people, like one or two times a week, and then they're like, I'm not seeing the results. And I'm like, I have no control over what you do out of the 40 minutes. I see you two times a week. And so it was really hard for me because I. So group fitness, I, like, everybody shows up in a room, there's no cell phones. Like, you get one hour to yourself, and everyone just gives their best effort. Like the energy in the room. I just loved it. But I realized how much of a luxury group fit fitness is once I became a mom. Like, it's really hard to go take a group fitness class. And I wanted to bring that atmosphere to moms who are at home or anyone that was at home and wanted still that like, group fitness experience. But maybe didn't have access to a gym, didn't have group, you know, they lived rurally, didn't have group fitness classes close to them, but just bring that energy and that training style into the home. And so that's kind of how Nourishment Love was born. I spent my life savings filming these workout DVDs. I don't know if I thought I was going to be like the next Tony Horton or I was like, I'm going to film these DVDs.

Yeah. And.

But I'm glad I did because it led me down the path and it's been a long road and a lot of stuff has shifted and changed. But.

Yeah, so tell us a little bit about that, because I think a lot of people have ideas and they have, like, aspirations. They don't really know where to start, you know, but you started and you started with DVDs, and. Okay, that changed, you know, and your. Your platform has changed a bit, but I feel like maybe your mission hasn't. So how did it go about, like, just taking the messy action to start and adapt?

Yeah, yeah. Like I said, it was like a million and ten side jobs.

Okay.

So I basically, I did sales, and I decided I was gonna do sales and that I committed to for two years, finishing out my sales job and setting aside all my commission.

So I was like, your medical sales job?

Yep. So I was doing medical sales and I was like, I'm live off my base salary and I'm going to save my commission for two years and I'm going to set this aside and I'm going to start a business with it. And so I had like a nice financial backing. So I would like, knew that when I quit, I had salary to live off of for two years basically. So I had preemptively set myself up. And while I was doing that, I was putting the grassroots in for my business. So I got my certifications, I started like developing my website online, started connecting with people, was like kind of getting myself ready to launch. And then I got married. So I jumped on my husband's health insurance. Perfect. Now I'm going to quit my job. So I have health insurance, so I'm going to quit. So I quit my sales job and jumped full time into starting my own business. And that, like I said, it looked obviously I didn't generate any revenue with my business necessarily for like three years. So I was doing all these side hustles. I was fitness modeling on shop HQ at crazy hours. And I was, you know, meal prepping for people. I was grocery shopping and doing meal prep out of my kitchen for people. I was personal training people on the side, writing plans for other people, food bloggers. I was helping them create work workouts and I was doing every odd job I could get my hands on and freely doing a ton of freelance work. And then finally, as my business started to continue to grow and cultivate, I was able to slowly start to say no to all this freelance stuff. But the biggest thing was like literally just starting putting myself out there and consistently showing up every stinking day. Like I had a schedule and I was like, started with, you know, I'm going to put out two blog posts a week and you know, things adjust and shifted. But that, that consistency is really, I think what has. It's, I mean, it's with anything, right? Like working out, whatever it is, like, it's just consistency are the building blocks. Eventually it will grow.

And did you ever. Did you have doubts? Like when you're in the beginning, when you're like, you know, making pennies to the hour, it's like, what, where am I even going? Talk to us about like the mindset that it took to like persevere for sure.

Like, I didn't even have like two pennies. People are like, oh, you must shop at like Whole Foods. And like when I was meal prepping for people, I'm like, I can't even, like, I'm buying canned tuna right now. Like, that's the best I can do. I got. I'm like, we. My business is not making any Money and yeah, definitely had a ton of doubts or multiple times. I was so close to quitting and I'm like just throw it in the towel. I want the 9 to 5 lifestyle back and I want that stable paycheck back. But what really kept me going is I actually had like a person that we both actually quit our jobs at the same time and kind of she started her own blog at the same time and we really just, it's her name. Stacy from the Real Food RD is also local to Minnesota and has seen a great ton of success online. And we just really like were each other's support system on those days I wanted to quit and then finding that community of people who were ahead of me and could show me and like I was really had some really great mentors in the business that were able to show me like, listen, I know this is where you're at. They'd show me their analytics. So like at year three, I know this is where you're at, look at my analytics. But in two more years I promise you, you'll have that growth. And it was so true. You just gotta follow the algorithm and the analytics and you just gotta keep in it. Content creation is really like that five year mark is where the magic happens.

Yeah, I think that five year mark with a lot of things like and I think unfortunately a lot of people, you know, will maybe stick things out a year, two years and it's like what, like what's going on? And then it does like it's like short term and relatively speaking five years is kind of short term. Like it takes you four years to get a college degree. That's what I always think. So I'm like, okay, if I can work on what I'm focused on for four or five years, I'm probably going to get good at it for sure.

You learn. And I like I said my biggest thing that I always told you know, my parents were really nervous. You have to have the job, the 401k. Even my husband, I mean I feel very privileged. We were able, he was able to continue to help support me and be on his health insurance. So obviously none of this would have happened without him. But you know, I kept telling people the worst case scenario. So I go back and I get my, I get a corporate job. I will have learned more in these three years of business. Like I teaching myself, watching all these online tutorials, like no one will ever care about your business as much as you. And so I invested so much into growing it that I have learned so Much that I feel like I'd be a huge asset to any company if it didn't work workout.

And it teaches you a different level of work ethic too, I really think, because you're like, there's. There's no 9 to 5 and it's probably like, you know, 5 to midnight, but. Okay, so talk to us about that. Like, naysayers.

I don't.

I don't know of friends or family. Like, did you have people from the outside that were like, what are you doing? And because that's. That's something that holds a lot of people back too, is just like, outside opinion, for sure.

I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure there was a lot of people, right? Like, I guess I had, like, blinders on. I was so focused on, like, knowing that this is what I wanted to do and pursue. And I'm the type of person that, like, when I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it, and I'm kind of all in. So I knew I was like, super committed. And I think, I'm sure, like, I'm so fortunate. My husband was like my biggest cheerleader and, you know, he kind of knew. He knows my work ethic and was like, if anyone's going to work hard at something, it's going to be you. So. So I trust that you're going to, you know, figure this out.

Right.

But I think, you know, I'm like, I feel like I'm sure my parents are even, you know, my. They were definitely leery at first. They were like, you're. We just. You just went to college. You need the 401k, the job stability and, you know, stuff. So definitely that.

But.

And it's scary putting yourself out there, like, literally. And still, you know, I, like, I put my life on public display, but I very much get to be control of, like, you know, I don't. I keep the. I try to keep it very business focused because that's what this is for me.

I love it. Did you ever feel reservations of I'm not using my college degree? Because people will tell me that too. Like, well, I went to, you know, I went to school and paid a lot of money for my college degree. Like, I need to use that. Tell me your thoughts on that.

Yeah, I mean, I guess I very much feel like it's kind of funny because I look at, like, I was definitely an athlete, but a nerd in the sense. Like, I went to yearbook camp in high school, and writing has always just been a Passion of mine. Something I was always really good at. I was good at writing, I was good at English, terrible at math. And so, like, I was always really good at writing. I love journalism. I love English. And organizational communications is, like, really broad. What even is that? You know? And so I feel like I'm definitely. I'm using the communications degree part of it, but I feel very fortunate in the fitness space to have a business mindset. I feel like a lot of people go into the fitness space with a kinesiology degree, which is great, but they're so focused on, you know, they're so good at personal training or fitness. But there's such a business side to everything, right? And so I feel really fortunate to have had those business roots. And I got into business, and I was in sales and all that, so I had this business roots matched with fitness, which I think marrying the two is really great for me.

And I think you can make that case for any degree that we have. Like, college education is great. I have an accountant degree. I'm not sitting here doing debits and credits every day. But I understand business, I understand revenue, and I can look at how my business is going, what's going on in the background, and I can know where to spend my time because of it. So, like, I just feel like. And if you had, you know, a medical degree or if you're a doctor, like, you can use all those strengths in whatever it is you're trying to create, and I feel like it can actually give you a leg up for sure.

And I think it's all about being resourceful, even if you don't have a degree. For me, like, I was taking all these free women. Venture is like a free organization here in the Twin Cities. It's a nonprofit. I took a bunch of their classes, Financial classes, cash flow classes, all that stuff. In the beginning, how to set up an llc. I had no idea what I was doing. Fortunately, now you can learn so much on Google and YouTube. I was literally like YouTube, but I took so many free classes. Skillshare. I was using, like, all these random apps to teach myself how to build a website, how to set up a cash flow and a P and L report.

Yeah, really cool. Okay, so bring us to Today you have nourish. Move love. How did, like, how did you refine your brand? Did that come natural or, you know, because I feel like some people are so broad, and I feel like you've niched down in a way that, you know, really fits the needs of your people and the Needs of you. Tell us how you went about that.

Yeah, you know, it's funny, like, I look back and I still like, laugh and actually we're logging into a bunch of stuff and I still have my very old like it started as moxie strength and nutrition, which was like, you know, I just feel like I have always had that kind of like moxie, go get it type of spirit. But yeah, nourishment, love really is just born out of like I think three big parts of my life, which is it stands for nourish your soul with God's word and your body with real food. Move your body and create movement in your life and love yourself and others on unconditionally. And those are just like three big pillars. And I was like, if I can build, you know, kind of these are the values of my life. If I can build my brand around these values, I think that'll really keep me anchored and good. And as my grand is as my brand has like grown and shifted and changed, I'm still really, I still really love those things and it kind of is great to come back to. And I just never wanted to name, name it after myself, I guess because I never wanted the brand to be about me or like, you know, I never wanted to be about me. I just wanted it to be about like creating this basically. I just, I just wanted to film workouts for a living and share that with women because I know it makes me a better mom, wife, person. And yeah, I love what you have.

On your website, Lindsay, about like, I don't film workouts like for you to get six pack abs or a tight butt. I film them because it makes you better in all areas of your life. Because I feel like really that's probably what most of our listeners are looking for. And then as a byproduct, yeah, you might get a six pack or something, right?

Yeah, like, I think like I was just looking at the fitness industry and there's so many of those sweaty selfie six pack pictures and all these transformation pictures. And I was like, I just wanted to be different in the sense of like this isn't like for me, fitness has just been such a huge part, especially as I've gone through motherhood and postpartum and just like it's been such a huge mental. It's been so great for my mental health more than anything. And I think just sharing that with moms, like, I know that when I feel strong and empowered, I'm just like a better wife, a better mom, a better everything. And so that's the ultimate goal.

Love it. Okay, let's talk about work, life, balance and you know, balance if we want to air quotes that. But how, how is it working for you? Like talk to us about what kind of help you have or even what you've had throughout the years because I'm sure it's changed. But this is just such a hot topic with, you know, moms wanting to do bigger things, more things, but they're like, oh, like there's no time for sure.

So when I started my business, obviously I didn't have kids. And so that was like I was just, I mean by nature I like to work. So working was like my thing. And I was totally vested in this business. I was saying yes to everything. I was just going for it. And I had like two years before I had kids of just like really focusing on my business, which was awesome. And then when I had kids, obviously things shifted, but I was thought I saw these, what I thought were moms who were like running businesses while raising kids full time. And I was like, I can do that. And so I was like, yep, I'm just going to, my son's not going to go to daycare, he's going to stay home with me. And basically we hit the six month mark and I was literally like, put me in a loony bin. Really, really bad postpartum depression, trying to do it all. My husband was traveling for work a ton. I, you know, just like my, it was just a bad mixture about a storm. And so I knew I needed help. And that's when we started setting up like alternative measures daycare. And so at the time, like my goal is always my kids won't go to school unless I can fund it through my business. Right? So like I'm gonna be able to, if I'm working away from them, I need to be able to pay for that. Right?

Yeah, I like it.

And so I had help. Help. Very fortunate. Like my, my parents did a day, my mother in law did a day and then he went to school like two days a week. Slowly my business grew. He went to school three days a week. Slowly my business continued to grew. I have had another child and so they were both my kids were going to school part time until like about a year ago. Then we committed to full time because I just was like, okay, I had some bigger, bigger contracts coming my way and I was like, if I sign these, I need to commit to full time. And so it's always been this like trying to find this balancing act and I think as a working mom, you'll always question, am I making the right decision? But for me, I love wearing my business hat, having that productivity. And then I really said, like, if I'm committing to sending my kids to school and they're going to go to school full time, that means that I'm with them in the morning, I go to school, they go to school, I work my butt off. And then at night. So it was like, I really. Having my kids go to school was probably the greatest thing for me because it allowed me to set boundaries for my business. Before, when my kids weren't going to school, I had no boundaries because I was constantly trying to work, trying to manage kids, and I was just kind of going crazy. But now my kids go to school and I could set boundaries. Like, these are my work hours. And of course, there's busy seasons where you have to work outside of that and you make it work. But having the kids go to school really helped me set boundaries. So that's really great. But, yeah, I think it's always going to be a balancing act. I'll always have seasons where my business is thriving and I'll feel like I'm failing as a mom who forgot I dropped my kid off at school and I forgot it was show and tell today. I forgot it was, you know, wear pajama day, whatever. Like, and I'll feel like a total failure. And then I'll have seasons where, you know, the pandemic hit and I was home full time with my kids and my husband was working and I was just working late evenings where I was like, I am super mom, but my business feels like it is falling apart. So I think, I mean, you'll always have those seasons. They'll never be a perfect.

Totally. I just did an episode all about work life balance as a working mom, and I feel like I repeated what you just said, so I agree. And I just feel like when you have space to do one, like, it gives. It makes you so much better at that one, and then you have space to do the other one, so. And I know, I know daycare is a privilege, too, so I always want to be clear about that. But I know some people do, like, kid swaps, like, even if it's for a couple hours or, like, you can get resourceful with that, too.

Yeah. When I first started my business, I was literally, like, nanny sharing. Like, I dropped my kid off with a girl who was actually starting to do contract work for me, and we had, like, a nanny watch both of our kids for like 13 months bucks an hour, we'd go to a coffee shop and work for four hours and then go pick up the kids. And like, I mean, it was very creative in the beginning.

And you get really good at rocking out those hours. When you have focused time as a mom, you're like, okay, what needs to get done? Let's go.

Yes.

Okay, what, what advice would you give a busy mom who wants to take more chances and create more fulfillment? Like, maybe they're in a job that they're like, man, I don't want to do this forever. But like, like, what would you tell them to start something?

Yeah. I mean, I think it comes back to evaluating. Right. For me, I said, if I'm going to put my kids in school. And I knew this, this is kind of before I had kids. I said, I want to do something I love because I love to work. I really do love to work. I get fueled by putting on that business hat. But if I'm going to be away from my children, like, it's going to matter. The work I'm going to do, I want to be super passionate about. I couldn't sit and trade, you know, just a 9 to 5 desk job. And while my kids were at school.

Yeah.

So I was like, if I'm going to work and be away from my kids, it's going to count, it's going to matter. I'm going to be really good at it. And so I would say just evaluating that and making sure that you feel like you're in the right seat. And if you're not, you know, how do you get in that right seat? And I think it really comes down to just, you know, figuring out what you are passionate about. And maybe it's not running your own business, but helping someone else or whatever role that is. But I just think, think, like, I truly, like, do love my job. That when I do have to turn back on, you know, of course I don't want to work every night, but like, I'll get caught up. And all of a sudden three hours go by and I'm like, it's 11 o' clock at night, I got to go to bed. But I truly do love what I do and I feel very fortunate to get to say that I do too.

I always say, like, it's. I feel like what I do is so addicting. And I'm just like. And I'm like obsessed. And I'm just not afraid to say that anymore because I'm like, well, I'm also obsessed with my Kids. But, you know, it's like, I just think it's the best of both worlds when you can find that. And I do think everybody has it in them, but it really takes looking at what do you want? And, like, how do you want each day to feel?

For sure. Yeah. And just. Yeah, really think about that. Like, I knew when I became, like, I want to be at every sport. I want to have the flexibility to be at every single sporting event when I have the flexibility to take my kid to the doctor when I get that call from daycare, but also want to be able to walk into, you know, sit on a call yesterday with some really, really talented people that I'm surrounding myself with that I'm constantly, like, learning, growing, and it's so cool.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Okay, the last question before we dive into the very last lightning round. What? How do you get through the hard seasons? Like, I know anyone who follows you will say, like, her energy is so good. Like, she's always positive, like, happy. And obviously we know it's not all butterflies and roses. So how do you, like, how do you channel your energy and, you know, get through the hard days, too?

For sure, there are definitely hard days. I think it was like the book Big Magic or something. Like, we all have to eat sandwiches that we don't want to eat. Basically, it was like, what the moral of the story was. But I don't love certain parts of my business, and fortunately, I know you'd mentioned this earlier, I've been able to finally, as my business has grown, outsource those parts of my business. And I do have help. This is actually the first year. It's been on my bucket list for so long as a mom of young kids to have help cleaning my house. And this is the first year I've been able to do that. And it has just. It just. It's amazing how much joy it brings to me to not have to clean in, to have a clean house.

Wonderful.

Right?

Congrats.

Thank you. It's like having those little. And celebrating those little successes. So for me, I'm someone who's always focused on the next big thing, always pushing ahead. My husband will say, like, we'll look at our. You know, I'll review some of my business analytics with him. And I'm always like, yeah, but.

Yeah, but.

He's like, stop saying, yeah, but like, five years ago, you would have been so happy. So I think my husband is just so good at reminding me of how far I've come. And to celebrate those Little successes. But running is a huge mental release for me. On those days, I'm super stressed out. I'm like, I need to put a podcast in or maybe just put some music in or maybe nothing at all and just run and think. I think as a mom, there's very few times where I feel like I just get a chance to let my brain think and dream and create, and it's when I'm running. So I'll just, like, put on nothing at all, and I'll just go for a run. And I'm like, what is my next thing? Like, what do I want to do? What's going to bring fresh breath into me, fresh air into me if I can focus on, you know, a new project or something like that. So I think we're always going to have those hard seasons, and sometimes it's just a grind, but, yeah, I've always come out of. I always come out of those seasons learning something, though, too.

You do. And it's like, if you didn't have any hard days, then there's probably no growth, so.

Right.

Yeah. I connect with. Connect with the running and the podcast a lot.

Yeah. Sometimes you just need to, like. Yeah.

Okay. Before we dive into the last thing, Lindsay, is there anything else you would like the listeners to hear? Like, something you wish you would have known or just if you could do it again? Like, you. I wish someone would have told me this.

Yeah, probably something. I think kids just in general have taught me just to, like, just relax more and enjoy life more. I feel like each child has chilled me out. After my first, you know, I feel like I was still probably my second. Really chilled me out more and more. And, you know, you just learn so much as you go. But I think just like. And everyone always says this, like, it's going to all work out, which it really is. And, like, you do what's in your control and just stop worrying about all those uncontrollable things. Like, as a mom, the mental load is just so stinking heavy sometimes. Right. Like, you know, you're doing everything. And sometimes it's like, my husband's always like, you got to go. Go. I'm like a productivity aholic, but when I am at my best is like, after I come off of a weekend recharged, and that's where comes asking for help. Like, yeah, having, like, a cleaning lady on my bucket. Bucket list. And, like, having that, like, it has just been so amazing.

That is wonderful. Yeah, you have to slow down to go fast. I heard that quote once, and When I first heard it, I was like, man. But I know. I'm like, now I get it. And I think it took motherhood for me to get that.

So.

Yeah. Okay. Dream do love. I always end this. End the podcast with my guests. What's a dream vacation? A habit or a ritual that you do that you're proud of and then something that you're loving. It can be a product. It could be summertime, doesn't matter. So dream vacation.

Oh, dream vacation, Hawaii. I've never been. It's just always been on the bucket list. My husband went when I was 39 weeks pregnant, he had a volleyball tournament, and I was supposed. And I was 39 weeks pregnant, and I was like, oh, but it's on the dream bucket list.

Good thing you didn't have the baby.

Seriously.

I know. Okay. Something that you're doing. Habit or a ritual that you are proud of.

Yeah. I would have to say prayer. For me, it just, like, coming back to. I actually just posted. Started posting kitchen sink prayers above the kitchen sink. I feel like I'm in one of those. Those seasons of life where I'm strapped for time, and it feels like it has to be this, like, morning quiet time or meditation or whatever you call it or want to do with, like, this hot cup of coffee and this picture perfect. And, like, that's just not my life in this season. And so that quick kitchen sink prayer has been my, like, saving grace right now.

That is really cool. So do you have it like. Like, do you have something physically posted there or just, like, the ritual when you go to the sink?

Yeah, it's physically posted, so there's like, I follow Risen. Risen motherhood, and they have these free printables, and I printed them off and cut them out, and I just stick one up there and I switch it out once a week.

Okay, that's awesome. I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna do it.

It'll just make me mindful when I go to the sink, you know?

Right.

Okay. And then something that anything that you love.

Oh, man. I do have to say the silver lining of COVID has just been all the more family time and family, family time. My husband's been home a little bit more, and just the kids getting to be with them. I feel like it is such a gift of time that got wrapped up in a little bundle, and we've got to spend so much time outside together, which has been fun.

I love it. Well, and even last year, like, with the holidays at home, like, we were at home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm like, this is cool. Like, we're not in the car traveling to all these place places. Like, it's just. It seemed like time literally slowed down.

Yeah. I feel like it's just been a huge gift of time. Like, I feel like I got to nurse my daughter longer than I would have because she was home from school, and that was really cool and.
