There’s a reason they say it takes a village.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hard as you may try to find it, there’s no guidebook filled with the answers to all your parenting questions: What should they be eating? Are they getting too much screen time? Am I even doing this right? (Spoiler: You are.) So, we’re here to help. We’ve asked your favorite celebrity moms for their tips, tricks and hacks that are guaranteed to get you through every meltdown and milestone.<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to E!’s Moms in the Moment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Christina Anstead<\/strong>‘s latest mission has nothing to do with design, backsplash or flipping houses.<\/p>\n

Instead, like so many moms out there, the HGTV star is trying her best to keep her family entertained during quarantine.<\/p>\n

In between her busy schedule that includes raising three growing kids and finalizing an upcoming furniture line, the Flip or Flop<\/em> and Christina on the Coast<\/em> star spoke to E! News exclusively about life in Orange County, Calif. during the Coronavirus<\/a><\/strong> pandemic. As it turns out, Christina’s children have been very busy.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been doing a lot of scavenger hunts,” she revealed as part of E!’s Moms in the Moment series. “Basically, we hide things throughout the house or in the backyard and the kids have a competition for who can find things the fastest.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Christina added, “I’ve been heating the Jacuzzi. I’m just trying to get outdoors a bit because it’s just kind of like, we’ll be on top of each other inside. It can be a little overwhelming.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

One activity that the entire family has been able to get involved in is cooking. After the successful launch of her book with nutritionist Cara Clark<\/a><\/strong> titled The Wellness Remodel:<\/a> How You Eat, Move and Feed Your Soul<\/em>, Christina has allowed her oldest kids to get their hands dirty in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: The results have been nothing short of tasty.<\/p>\n

“We’ve actually been cooking a lot more. We’ve been making a lot of recipes. The kids love to help doing that kind of stuff,” Christina explained. “I let them take turns picking recipes from the book. My four-year-old son Brayden actually loves to help too. He will get a little more messy but he’s really a sweet tooth.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Her oldest daughter Taylor is “obsessed” with gluten-free shrimp tacos with mango salsa while the whole family loves stir-fry. <\/p>\n

During the new normal, Christina has also noticed her daughter understanding the world a bit more than her younger siblings. As a result, the best-selling author has found herself adding teacher to her resume.<\/p>\n

“She’s in third grade and for all of a sudden to be Thursday and told that you will not be going back to your school, it’s a lot for their little minds to process,” Christina explained. “Sports are closed\u2026it’s been stressful for sure.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

But as much as Christina wants to give her love and attention to her family, she also knows the importance of self-care. In addition to following workouts featured in her book, Christina has been focusing on mindset and meditation work.<\/p>\n

“We all need to take a minute to reset our minds. That’s a really important part of the book as well,” she shared. “Obviously all of us are extremely stressed. This is a very unique time in everyone’s lives.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
