Heather Rae El Moussa Shares Her Most Valuable Parenting Lesson Ahead of Mother's Day (Exclusive)
Heather Rae El Moussa is sharing how her blended family approaches Mother's Day The proud mom also tells PEOPLE what's been the biggest parenting lesson she's learned so far and how her toddler son has become a bit of a picky eater The HGTV star shares her son Tristan, 2, with husband Tarek El Moussa and is stepmom to his two kids Taylor, 11, and Brayden, 9Heather Rae El Moussa is sharing what a typical Mother's Day looks like for her blended family. Ahead of Mother's Day on Sunday, May 11, the Flipping El Moussas star, 37, spoke with PEOPLE about her new partnership with Orgain and shared what traditions her family does every year. El Moussa shares her 2-year-old son Tristan with husband Tarek El Moussa and is stepmom to his two kids — daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9 — whom he shares with ex Christina Haack. "Usually — and I'm thankful for Christina that I get to spend time with the kids — we'll do a brunch with the kids and then she'll do something else with them later on in the day," Heather tells PEOPLE. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "And we get together with my side of the family, Tarek's side of the family, we usually do a brunch. I try not to cook or do anything at the house because I don't want to clean up," she continues. "So it's like getting out of the house, celebrating and then coming home and just sharing the day with Tristan and Tarek after the kids go to Christina's house." Now that she has two years of parenting — and about three years of step-parenting — under her belt, Heather has few lessons she's learned to make the journey easier. "Patience. Definitely patience," she says of the biggest lesson she's learned. "And then you got to be selfless when you have children and they come first no matter what." "But the biggest thing I've learned is how much I love being a mom. I absolutely love it. I thrive. It's my favorite thing in the world. I love being a step-mom," Heather continues. "And then that took me into wanting to have my own baby. And Tristan has been such an amazing gift in my life and I just love it more than I thought I was going to." With such a busy schedule balancing three different kids, her career and her relationship, Heather says she's loves leaning on Orgain's nutritional shakes. "Orgain is great because they have a variety of drinks for everybody and a lot of options," the proud mom, who has been drinking the vegan shakes since she was pregnant with Tristan, says. "As a busy mom to two older children, I have a husband, I was a mom to a newborn, I needed something that was really easy and they're packed with minerals and nutrients." "Health and wellness is really important in our life. Tarek is a [two-time] cancer survivor, so I'm really big on making sure that the kids are healthy, Tarek is healthy, I'm healthy," Heather continues. "It's just a very natural partnership that is really near and dear to my heart." Even Tristan drinks the shakes — and Heather admits it's not always easy to get her toddler to eat. "He's so funny. The doctors would be like, 'Oh just eat with them and they'll be interested in what you're eating.' No way," she says. "This kid does not want anything. He has his staples and he likes what he likes and that's it. But I am lucky that he loves smoothies." "He loves the chocolate peanut butter Orgain protein, so I can mix that in. He loves fruit if I put in fruit so I can kind of get things in there without him knowing what he is actually having," she says. "But he is picky, yes. I never thought I would have a picky child." "And I'm like, 'Oh, he's going to be eating vegetables and this...' No, he loves grilled cheese. He loves peanut butter and jellies, smoothies and fruit and pretzels."

Orgain protein powder sale: Stock up while it's more than 20% off right now
If you're in your protein era, listen up. My favorite protein powder (Orgain's Organic Vegan Protein Powder) is on sale as part of Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You don't have to be a Prime Member to shop the weeklong sale and if you're not in the market for a vacuum or new fancy Shark hair tool, it's a great time to stock up on those non-sexy household essentials you may be running low on. Things like toilet paper, all-purpose cleaning spray and batteries are all on sale right now, including my go-to protein powder. Learn more below. Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder 4.4-star average rating from 70,634 reviews on Amazon I'm really picky about protein powders so when I say that this one is great I really mean it. I hate when formulas are too starchy or chalky — I want something that's gentle on my stomach, something that blends in seamlessly and something that doesn't have a lot of filler ingredients or sugar in it. In a perfect world, I want to forget that whatever smoothie or baked good I'm making has any extra stuff in it. Orgain vanilla protein fits that bill and since first trying it years ago, I haven't looked back. The plant-based protein has 21 grams of protein (and only 1 gram of sugar) per serving. It comes in a big container with a scooper so I can easily portion out the right amount I need. I'm partial to the vanilla flavor, though it comes in various other flavors and size options, some of which are also on sale right now. It blends in really nicely to my smoothies, too, I never find big clumps or weird tasting bits, which I appreciate. 'I've exclusively bought Orgain protein powder since 2019,' says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin who's also a fan. 'It's the first one I tried that doesn't taste like artificial sugar, and that comes in a ton of flavors, so I can buy a new one whenever I get tired of the smoothie I drink pre- or post-workout. It makes my shakes super creamy, and I mix it into muffin batter, overnight oats and cereal milk, too.' What is Amazon's Big Spring Sale? The weeklong sale runs through March 31 and is open to Prime members (and non-Prime members) alike. You can get discounts across every major category including beauty and tech. We found some of our favorite brands on sale, including Ninja, JBL and since deals are changing daily, if you see something you like, I recommend checking out quickly. Why trust NBC Select?
