The last one has me in shambles 🥺 this really puts into perspective just how fast time is going by and how much they’ve grown. I highly reccomend doing a tradition like this with your little ones, I can already picture how competitive they will become when they’re older lol How many years does Harry have left before he starts losing this race!? 😂 Happy Birthday to my beautiful, wild and cheeky little boys Oscar and Brooks. The boys who made me a Mama and changed my world forever 🫶🏽 #twindad #cutedad #emotionalvideo #birthdaytradition #momtok #birthdaytradition #fyp #trending

No todo es color de rosas, uno de esos dias que no estaba de humor y eso tambien es normal, ser responsable y estar siempre presente es agotador. Eso no te hace un mal padre mejores dias vendran papá/mamá ❤️ #ToddlerConversations #LasOcurrenciasDeLosTwins #ParentLife #DadLife #TwinDad #Tired

We never thought we’d become “those parents” but here’s our honest thoughts after our impromptu no screen ban 14 days later… 1. Way less fighting and WAY MORE playing with each other! 2. Far less tantrums (like I mean a lot less)! 3. Less boredom. 4. Increased time outside 5. Much easier to get them to do activities and lastly, it’s actually made OUR lives easier as parents because we are dealing with less moody behaviour, happier boys and way less “stressed energy” (I’m not sure how to describe it but upon reflection I swear screens were just stressing our boys little brains out). It truly has blown me away seeing the difference and again I want to reiterate I NEVER EVER THOUGHT I would be talking about going no screens in our household because we used them all the time. It’s only when we took a step back and started reflecting on our use of them that one morning, entirely off the cuff we decided to cut the screens out indefinitely. We didn’t have a plan and truthfully thought it’d last until evening. However, the changes were almost instant and here we are, continuing to roll with it because the changes are so dramatic! For those of you interested in learning more about our no screen journey we’ve written a new post on our free Surviving, Not Thriving parenting newsletter (linked in bio)! As always we’re not judging anyone and just sharing what we’re doing and what is working for us!!

Oscar throwing up 🤮 his full dinner on the flight wasn’t fun 😅 but other than that…I think we nailed it! We are seasoned pros at this point and I am soooo impressed by the Brisbane Airport lounges and their helpful energy towards the strollers!

AHHH! were finding out so soon what our destination will be 🤭 Pro packing tip: when traveling with toddlers make sure you bring your baby gear like a smart monitor / white noise in your carry on in case they lose your luggage! Thise items are hard to replace in foreign country trust me 😅 Oh and I pack their toiletries / hygeine stuff in with our stuff x #packwithme #packingASMR #momtok #twinmom #travelwithkids #flyingwithkids #toddlertravel #twindad

Its Wednesday, the only date I have is with the back of my eyelids 🥱😂 Seriously though, social media will always do its best to make you feel like whatever you have is not good enough. In reality we are in our raising little kids era and maybe those big gestures and date nights will be for us again one day, but for now I am happy celebrating at home with my beautiful family 🖤 Did yours look more like this too?

Got too anxious and made Harry come with me for a test run 🤦🏽‍♀️😅 I swear I have to stake out a location like 10x before ever attempting to take the twins there on my own. I literally need to know every detail, step count, blue prints etc. 😅 Did anyone else experience outing anxiety with their little ones? Something I have massively struggled with and I’m hoping our new lifestyle will help me move past it #twinmom #dcdatwins #fraternaltwins #toddlermom #byronbaymums #dadtok #hotdad #cutedad #dadsodtiktok #twindad #boymom #outinganxiety #beachgear #beachwagon #sahm

Have you guys heard of New Caledonia!?

Lol what a sh*tshow our first 24hrs were with a newborn and 3 other kids under 5 was 🤣😵 Honestly, if you’re ever feeling like your life as a parent is a disaster just know you are not alone. In our experience, very little of it is actually “picture perfect” like you see on the gram. Most of ours is a lot like this 🤣😳 But the good news is, our boys are older and the chaos has slowed down slightly so there is hope! If you’re feeling discouraged don’t give up and know that you are definitely not alone… our boys are nearly 2 years older and the difference is crazy now! If you are a parent please send this to another parent who will get a good laugh and feel like they aren’t the only ones hanging on for dear life!! p.s. make sure you follow to join us on our journey 💙💪 #pov #twinmom #twindad #twinlife #boymom #toddlersofinstagram #parentlife #parentingmemes #parenthood #tantrums #twinmomlife #fyp #reallife #parenthumor #parentmeme #momlife

We NEVER thought we’d be saying this but as always, parenting is a journey where you are constantly learning and after 4 boys and seeing the impact of the ipad we really do believe life is better without them (for both your kids and YOU as a parent) 🙏 It sounds crazy because even when we look back part of us believes we needed the ipads. They always gave us relief and a kept our kids occupied when we needed some time to ourselves. However, last summer we thought the ipads were starting to cause more harm than good. Even though we thought they were making our lives easier I really think they were actually making them much harder. They were constantly changing shows, would prefer to watch the ipad instead of playing, were always asking for them, and moody without them. That’s when we decided to just take them away. We truthfully thought it’d only last a day or two but 9 months later and they have barely been on. Actually, the only time they have had them was on a recent flight to Turks and Caicos and although it did give us some peace and quiet on the flight, it also reaffirmed taking them away was the best decision because the moment we landed at our hotel in paradise all they wanted were their ipads. As always, parenting is a journey, you learn as you go and it’s never easy. Ipads might not seem like a big deal now but again, in our experience we think our kids are better off without them. Watching our kids be imaginative, creative and playful kids was the best morning reminder ever 💙 Now our next test is to cut TV out during the mornings on the weekdays… We’ll see how it goes and report back 🤞 If you have any questions about how, why or thoughts on this please ask or share! No judgement just trying to share what we’ve learned on our journey 😊🙏 #parenting #toddlers #parentlife #ipad #parenttips #realisiticparenting #twinmom #twindad #boymom #fyp

Realistically we need a vacation from the travel day 🤣🤪 But seriously for any parents who have had nightmare travel experiences let us tell you from first hand experience it does get better!🙏 This was by FAR our best travel day ever. I’ve added a few notes and thoughts below as we’ve noticed a few big changes since we started travelling with our kids and are feeling more inspired than ever to continue travelling with them. 1. Yes, the travel suitcase scooters were a hit. They do fit as carry on luggage and the boys loved packing their own bags and scootering all around. We’ve linked them in bio (and they are on sale right now) 🛴💨 2. We are still on a no screen ban but did reintroduce the ipads JUST for the flight and as expected they worked. Our boys were sooooo good but truthfully, our plane had TV screens so I am not sure it was even necessary to bring the ipads but it definitely did keep them occupied and quiet. Brodie also had some colouring books and lego toys in their bags which interestingly enough they probably played with half of the flight time. We are noticing a huge shift in them since taking away screens and will continue the no screen policy indefinitely (except on flights)! 3. Ashton was amazing but had zero chill 🤣 We knew he’d be the hardest one to deal with and kept us on our toys the entire flight (literally) 😅 He definitely didn’t want to nap and just wanted to explore the plane. I think this is totally normal for a one year old 😎 4. As always travelling with kids is going to be tiring. I think there’s no two ways about it but I also think if you can push through the travel day, no matter how bad, the end result is so worth it. The smiles on our boys faces are the best reminder that life is short and now is the time to make memories 😁💪 Any questions about our travel please ask away!!! #parenting #traveldaywithkids #twintiddlers #twinmom #twindad #boymom #travelday #parentlife #fyp #infant

If you see us on your next flight just do yourself a favour and cancel it to save yourself from the suffering 🤣😵😱✈️ lol this is our 3rd consecutive travel fail. I am SO thankful Brodie has the patience of a saint because there were a few times I just wanted to give up. But if Brodies taught me anything in parenting it’s that you can’t control the uncontrollables so there is absolutely no point in wasting energy complaining about them. Instead, just focus your energy on controlling what you can and staying positive. p.s. thanks to all the new followers and I hope you join us on our real parenting journey! #traveltip #parents #travelfail #realistictravelday #aircanada #fyp #travelwithkids #toddlers #parentfail #twinmom #twindad

If you’re a parent seeing this and have been feeling unmotivated and blehh you are not alone. Parenting is HARD but I can promise you, from our own personal experience, parenting while unhealthy makes every aspect of it 10 times harder. It comes down to a simple mindset change and reminding ourselves that we have the power every day to “choose our hard”. If you want to parent from a place of high energy, low stress, lot’s of confidence, good moods and happiness then choosing to prioritize yourself daily is the only way we can make it happen. Here’s a few ways Brodie and I CHOOSE our “hard” every day… - Prioritizing eating a minimum of two hours before bed time every night (this ensures our quality of sleep is much, much better)🥬⏰ - Consciously making the effort to be in bed by 8pm, no scrolling our phones and Netflix off by 9pm (so no matter how early the kids wake up we will still have had a decent nights sleep)😴 - Working out for 20-30 minutes 4-5 times a week (even if we workout with the kids we understand whatever we get done will be better than nothing)😅💪 - Making time to walk together a couple times a week (a great way to connect and destress)🚶🚶‍♀️❤️ - Making the effort to eat healthy, nourishing meals 80% of the time (keeps our energy levels up while keeping us healthy)🌯🍳👌 - Continuing to show up even if were tired, stressed, or anxious (these are actually the most important days to get our workouts done and the days we feel the biggest changes) These are a few “hard” things we constantly and consistently choose to do. Sure, it probably won’t be pretty, our workout with our kids will be filled with interruptions, we’ll have days where we are exhausted and stressed but the reality is if you want to feel your best you have to make the “effort”. Life will never change if you don’t take action. If you want to get motivated and make a change once and for all please join me! My 21 Day Lean Reset challenge is the perfect place to start (I also have 7 other challenges to choose from) 💪 DM me or click link in bio to get started today 🙏 p.s what are you choosing today? #workoutmotivation #twindad #twinmom #twinboys #healthydad #fitdad #homeworkout #parentlife #parenting

We never thought we’d be able to go no screens but we have survived over 30 days screen free and here’s what we’ve learned so far 💙🙏 Firstly, if you want the full debrief on our why, how and what we’ve learned since going screen free we’ve written a full breakdown on our free Surviving, Not Thriving parenting newsletter. Just click link in bio for the post! Secondly, if you had told me screens were a problem for our children a year ago I would have scoffed. However, since going I really do believe the changes are profound and so dramatic that I encourage any parent to at least do your own research, reflect on your own use of screens and just consider trying it. Again, I never, ever envisioned being a “no screen” proponent but I think the amazing thing about life and parenting is we have this ability to continually learn, adapt and change if we are willing. For us, and most importantly our boys, this has been one the best experiments ever and we’re excited to see where it takes us and if you’re nervous just know, if we can survive doing it, YOU CAN DEFINITELY DO IT TOO!!

If you’re thinking baking with your kids is a fun wholesome activity consider this your warning…it’s not🤣😭🤦🏼 The iPad will do just fine next time 🤪 ps this was from one year ago! Even though the recipe was a disaster I’m still happy we tried. Parenting definitely makes even the simplest tasks sometimes almost impossible but it’s the effort that counts. If you’re feeling discouraged don’t give up and know that you are definitely not alone!!! The difference between baking with our boys today vs 1 year ago is crazy!!

All this food before breakfast…🤯😵 what they ate: - 4 eggs - 3 blueberry protein smoothies (without blue berries)🤪 - half a pack of bacon - 1 pack of raspberries - 2 ounces of 3% milk - 1 apple - 3 pieces of almond butter toast - vitamins (vitamin d, fish oil, vitamin c, and calcium) - water (plus a splash of my electrolyte drink)🤣 We always wonder why we’re tired at 9am and then we remember it’s because feeding our four boys is the equivalent to working a full shift at a restaurant 🤣 So if you’re in the same boat, remember you are not alone! Being exhausted at 9am is a parents right of passage 😜 As always, follow to join us on our parenting journey!! #parenting #realisitic #whatkidseat #toddlerlife #whattoddlerseat #feedingkids #feedingtoddlers #twinmom #twindad #boymom #momlife #tiredmom #tireddad #parentjokes #fyp

You know you’re on “vacation” with kids when the clock hits 9am and you feel like curling in a ball and going to sleep for the next month 🤣🏝️😵 But seriously, we’re having a blast although we could REALLY do without the 4am wake up calls. Vacationing with kids is always going to be a challenge but watching our 4 boys swim, play and enjoy their days from morning to night makes this soooooooo worthwhile. This by far has been the best vacation ever and we’ll be sharing the full details on our free Surviving, Not Thriving newsletter (link in bio). Let us know the details you want to know and we’ll be sure to include 😄💪 Otherwise, to all the parents out there keep on Surviving… were told one day it’ll get easier 🤣 #vacationwithkids #parentlife #twinmom #twindad #parenting #parentingsupport #fyp #parentsoftiktok #parentsbelike

1 5:30am wake up, 1 breakfast, 1 beach visit, 3 meltdowns, 2 pool visits, 1 lunch, and absolutely ZERO chill time… I think it’s safe to say vacations with kids are more like business trips with extended work hours 🤣💁‍♀️😵 If you have any questions just fire away we’ll do a full recap of our thoughts on our holiday once we’re home 🏖️👌 #reallife #parentlife #realisitic #familyvlog #turksandcaicos #beachesturksandcaicos #twinmom #twindad #toddlers #boymom #travellingwithkids #fyp #familyvacation

Day 30 of ice bathing with my boys… there’s a great quote from James Baldwin that says “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them” ☺️🙏 As parents I think it’s sometimes easy to rely on our words to try and get our kids to do things like be polite, eat healthy, exercise, embrace challenges, be fearless, etc… But the truth is, if you truly want all of these things for our kids then it’s up to us to SHOW THEM WITH OUR ACTIONS. YOU have to be willing to show them repeatedly how to do all of these things… it will definitely be a whole lot harder but I can promise you, before you know it they will be following in your footsteps.

If you don’t end baking cookies with toddlers on the verge of a mental breakdown did you even really bake?🤯👨🏼‍🍳🍪 P.S. our boys actually like (and eat) these healthy cookies so long as we don’t tell them they are healthy cookies 🤣🤦 So warning, don’t make the same mistake I did and tell your kids you are making healthy cookies 🤣🤪 Full recipe is linked in bio so you can tru them!🍪 Brodie and I are TRYING our best to swap out ultra processed snacks and instead give our boys healthier alternatives like these healthy cookies versus store bought cookies. It’s definitely a work in progress and we are by no means perfect but since this video (over a year ago we filmed this recipe) we are getting to a better place! As always parenting is a journey and our attitude is survive one day at a time and when possible try to make little improvements along the way as you learn. We notice a huge difference when our boys are eating well, lots of protein and home cooked meals!
