Christina Haack has been puttingher health and wellnessfirst after an unexpectedly trying year — and that means making her privacy a priority.

“I’m focusing on keeping our private life more private and just enjoying our time together and just being positive,” Haack, who shares daughter Taylor, 10 and son Brayden, 5, with her first husband andFlip or Flopcostar, Tarek El Moussa, and son Hudson, 1, with Anstead, tells PEOPLE of her current mindset.

“I’m focusing on myself and the kids and having fun,” she adds.

Because her life is often documented for bothFlip or FlopandChristina on the Coast, the designer says that maintaining privacy can be challenging — but it is possible.

The real estate expert addressed critics on Instagram in November, clapping back at those who said she didn’t post enough photos with her children — but that her kids' fathers, Anstead and El Moussa, did.

“Smh wake up people. I hardly post anymore … and I def do not want to post my kids every freaking day tomake it a contest of who’s a better parent🤦🏼‍♀️ f that,” she wrote at the time. “This doesn’t mean I’m not with my kids — it means the opposite — I am with them — I’m present.”

“Stop parent shaming people, stop choosing sides when there is no side to choose. My point being — when you see stuff on here take it all with a grain of salt,” she added. “There is a whole lot of filters and fake smiles. I’ve been guilty of faking it too. We are all struggling — some of us are just better at ‘masking’ it.”

Haack and El Moussa, who were married for 7 years,separated publicly in December 2016and finalized theirdivorce in January 2018.

Haack and Anstead began dating in October 2017and married at their homein Newport Beach, California, in December 2018.

“We’ve been here for three years and we wanted more of a coastal vibe, so we decided to sell and we’re looking at other properties now,” Haack says of her decision to move out and on.

“I just like a fresh start,” she adds.
