Shawn Johnson East, the Olympic gymnast and mother of three, is navigating the challenges and joys of raising her expanding family. With a daughter and two sons, Johnson East and her husband are adjusting to the dynamics of having three young children.
Partnering with MorningStar Farms, Johnson East has found a convenient solution for busy mornings by incorporating the brand's vegan BBQ 'riblets' into her kids' breakfast routine. She appreciates the protein content and the kids' love for the flavorful meal.
Mealtime in the household involves catering to her children's preferences, with a focus on exposing them to a variety of foods despite their inclination towards toddler favorites like macaroni and cheese.
The recent addition of their youngest son has brought changes to the family dynamic, but Johnson East is proud of how well her older children have embraced their roles as older siblings, showing love and protectiveness towards their baby brother.
Managing parenting responsibilities with three kids has required a shift in approach, with Johnson East and her husband dividing tasks equally to ensure each child receives attention and care.
Looking ahead, Johnson East is open to the idea of expanding their family through adoption, although she feels content with her decision to likely conclude her own pregnancies.
Excited for a summer trip to Europe with her family, including a visit to the Olympics, Johnson East is eager to create lasting memories with her loved ones.
