Meet Laura!
Laura is one of those amazing people who makes motherhood and running a company look effortless. She has 5 kids, ranging from 4 to 16, and moved to Weston from Kansas less than 5 years ago. On a 3 week trip to India last year with her best friend from college, their interest was piqued in the centuries-old Indian handicraft of wood block printing, and from that emerged their new company, Nani Pani. Nani Pani offers everything from scarves to dresses, and is unique and authentic, much like Laura. Laura’s favorite holiday is April Fool’s Day (not surprisingly, she values a good sense of humor tremendously in friends), loves the daily NY Times mini-crossword app, and is the youngest of 12 children which made for some pretty embarrassing moments as a child. Keep an eye out for Laura; she is the real deal, and visit Terrain anytime after January 22nd to check out Nani Pani’s newest line of hand block printed bandanas, designed exclusively for Terrain!

Meet Heather!
For anyone looking to start 2018 off right, Heather is your girl! A Westport mom of three (including twins!) who loves skiing, sailing, and all things running, Heather started her own Food and Nutrition program, The Food Fix, which helps people with a variety of goals learn how to take control of their diet and body – for the long-term. If taking only three weeks of maternity leave with each child is any indication of her passion for her work, you might also be interested to know Heather runs marathons (mostly) for fun (she’s at 10 now!), swears by R+F lash boost and the Health App by Apple. Despite her passion for her work, she values nothing more than family time, and aims for at least three technology-free family dinners a week to keep everyone connected! This mom’s got it all together, and she’s even offering a special offer for WestportMoms interested in trying her DIY or group program; thank you Heather for helping us kick off the New Year right!
