Jamie Yeo’s Post‑Pandemic Mood: Kids, Café Treats and Sticky Fingers
When the lockdown doors finally creaked open, what jumped out of the pic‑y‑pic chaos in Jamie Yeo’s life? Her six‑year‑old motorbike‑haired son, Luke—who’s just turned three—and his adventurous sister, the ten‑year‑old Alysia.
Working from Home: A Juggling Act
- While the world was stuck in Zoom‑land, Jamie was juggling live streams and script‑writing, all while keeping Luke from turning the kitchen into a circus arena.
- “Luke can be a little naughty—he throws tantrums, screams, and laughs at the same time. It’s a wild ride while I’m still on a live feed!” she admits, shaking her head in disbelief.
- She’s still on the front line, whipping up content for her audience while constantly checking the kids’ snack meter.
New Colours on the Horizon
During the peanut‑to‑dirigible days, Jamie launched Lula J Jewelry, her own line of accessories that glitter as bright as her kids’ cheekbones.
She even cracked a joke: “When preschool reopened on June 8, I felt like I’d reclaimed my life. I even remember that exact date—call it a superpower!”
School’s Back, Dreams Resume
Alysia went back to home‑based learning and did her homework in her own little kingdom. Jamie said, “Her schoolwork was intensive. She spent hours in her room, luckily with a great teacher on Skype.”
Health & Healing: The Home‑School Health Protector
Despite the lingering fuzz of Covid‑19, the Yeo household has kept the sniffles and colds at bay. “Even when they get the tiny sniffles, they bounce back in a day. Beyond grateful for that!”
Jamie’s secret? A nutritious, balanced diet that keeps their immune system fireworks brisk.
Fueling the Little Grown‑ups
- Luke is a connoisseur of all things potato‑ish—be it mash or sweet–potato fries.
- Alysia, though, was born 10 weeks early and used to have a digestive roller‑coaster. From the beginning, her tummy’d say: “I’m not ready!”
- She’d vomit or find herself in a cramped, “poo‑panic” that made both mother and child grumble.
- But now, with a great diet seasoned with yogurt, probiotics, and veggies, those tummy tantrums have vanished.
Jamie jokes, “If Luke keeps eating those mashed potatoes, I’m scared I’ll see him explode—maybe I need to stop feeding him my lunch?”
Bottom Line:
With a daughter who learns and a son who’s a culinary star, Jamie’s life after Covid has turned into a daily recipe of laughter, healthy meals, and a whole lot of love—plus a dash of jewelry that’s ready to sparkle!
How Jamie gets her kids to eat better
A Mom Hack That Turns Kids Into Tiny Artists
Jamie’s latest parenting trick? Letting her kids build their own food masterpieces on the plate. Kids feel like the boss of their meals, and Mom secretly wins.
All About the Green Stuffs
- Veggies & fruit aren’t just tasty—they boost immunity too!
- Jamie encourages her kids to pick colorful veggies like spinach, bell pepper, and mango.
- Since the kids get to “decorate” their plate, they’re more likely to eat their greens.
Probiotics: The Silent Superhero
Jamie doesn’t just settle for vegetables—she adds a daily dose of Enterogermina Probiotics to Alysia and Luke’s routine. It’s a simple, to‑go solution that:
- Is tasteless and odourless, so no one even notices.
- Can be slipped into water, milk, or juice—no extra fuss.
- Works wonders for a sensitive tummy—no more tummy troubles.
Keeping Sugar On the ‘Low‑Low’
Jamie keeps a tight rein on sugary drinks, especially because those sweet drinks trigger:
- “Sweets rush” that leaves the kids buzzing and hard to sleep.
While her kids love the sugary probiotic options (and why wouldn’t they?), her rule is:
- “Every day? No thanks.”
- “Timed sugar fixes—just enough to keep the excitement, but not the chaos.”
Balanced Life: Sweet vs. Safe
Jamie takes a middle‑ground approach, knowing that an overly sweet diet can be a “cage.” She says:
“Kids should have a few sweet treats now and then. If we squeeze them out altogether, they’ll go over the top when they’re older.” – Jamie
Why It Works
By giving kids power over their plate, they’re more engaged and willing to try new flavors. Add in a no‑or‑less probiotic boost and a conscious sugar strategy, and you’ve got a recipe for happy, healthy kids who actually enjoy their meals.
