LEANSQUAD

#ad #AD Solo parenting is not for the weak… So much happens before 9:30am so I need all the energy I can get and that's why we love the CLIF BARS! 10 grams of protein, taste so good and a great source of some quick energy which we are always in need of! Just beware, our kids love them so make sure you always pack extras! #CLIFPartner

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

As parents to 4, we thought walking up feeling like we’d been hit by a dump truck was normal…. turn out it’s not and mouth taping has made the impossible possible💤🙏 The benefits of mouth taping are literally live changing and we’ve listed a few we’ve experienced and also measured below. If you want more details on how it works and why it can change life click link in bio!! Benefits: - deeper sleep every night (our restorative sleep time which combines time spent in REM & Deep sleep has literally doubled since mouth taping). We wake up feeling WAY more energized now 💤⚡️💃 - no bad breath, dry mouth and cracked lips in the morning (mouth breathing causes air to bypass the natural humidification process that happens when you breath through your nose. Your mouth then drys out much quicker leading to dehydration and a feeling of thirst) 💧😊 - way less irritable with kids and each other (poor quality sleep leads to far greater irritability)😁 - less binge eating (Your hunger hormones get out of whack after poor sleep and we would binge eat on crappy food all day long. That’s nearly been eradicated now and we feel so much better)!!🥗🌯 - facial muscles strengthen and tighten (literally breathing through your nose helps strengthen your jawline and facial structure)💪 There are soooo many more benefits and we are so proud and thankful for everyone’s support who has supported us with @tapehersleep this week!!💙💤 #mouthtape #parents #sleepdeprived #sleep #scienceofsleep #improvesleep #sleepdeprivation #tiredmom #tireddad #healthyparents #healthylifestyle #fyp

If you’re struggling on your parenting journey right now here’s a few simple things we do on a daily basis that make our parenting journey “easier” ☺️🙏 Although we know parenting will never actually be easy, these certainly help cope with all of the challenges we face as parents on a daily basis and the good news is this are realistic things I wish we were taught before becoming parents… We hope they help 💙 p.s. our life changing tapeher sleep tape launch is tomorrow, May 22nd at 10am!!💤 It has literally transformed our sleep, doubling our restorative sleep time. We wake up with more energy, feeling more refreshed and so much happier. We are so proud of this and know it’s going to help change your sleep and lives too!

Healthy Protein Muffins your kids will ACTUALLY eat (so long as you don’t tell them they are healthy) 🍪💪 Full refipe below! Follow for more! These cottage cheese protein muffins are a much better alternative compared to your store bought muffins. I used the 1% nordica cottage cheese. It helps provide some protein, as well as a source of vitamin d and calcium which is sooooo important for our little ones. I also used peanut butter for some healthy fats and more protein, semi sweet chocolate chips to help minimize the sugar but still keep them tasty, and the best part about these is you just have to literally throw everything in the blender and then into your muffin tray and the oven! Leangredients: - 1/2 cup cottage cheese (I used 1% Nordica cottage cheese) - 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup - 2 eggs - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour) - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt - 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips - Peanut butter, for serving Leanstructions: 1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease 16 muffin tins or line them with paper liners. 2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, mashed bananas, peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla to the blender. Blend until the bananas are mostly pureed, leaving a few chunks for texture. 3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the blender. Blend until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix! 4. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips. 5. Scoop the Batter: Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins. I like to use an ice cream scoop for this. For an extra treat, add a few more chocolate chips on top of each muffin. 6. Bake: Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the muffins are just set. Serve them warm with a drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of sea salt on top if desired. Trust me, that combo with the melty chocolate chips is beyond good! Your kids will never know they are eating a healthier muffin! 😎 Follow for more healthy recipes! #healthyrecipe #highprotein #yummy #kidsrecipes #proteinmuffins #cottagecheese #nordica #recipeforkids #healthyrecipesforkids #fyp #parentlife #toddlerrecipes

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! As always, keep on Surviving Squadies and click link in bio for the full recipe 🍪😎 #parenting #EasyRecipe #twinboys #twindad #twinmom #parentsofinstagram #toddlers #parentsbelike #struggling #parentingtips #twintoddlers #parenthumor #fyp

If parent influencers showed you what road trips with your kids actually looked like…👀🚙🤣😵 Lol but seriously, a lot of what you see in the parenting world on instagram is simply the perfect stuff. You are not alone if your kids have bad days, throw a tantrum, argue with each other, refuse to wear their shoes, their clothes are messy more than they are clean or drive you crazy 24/7 for days on end. This. is. normal. We could have easily cut this video to show the PICTURE PERFECT road trip but I think normalizing the hard side of parenting is also super important because if you always see perfection you can fall victim to feeling like you aren’t a good parent and your doing something wrong. Comparison is the killer of all joy so I just want to remind you that behind every perfect picture and video is a kid just like yours!! So good luck to everyone road tripping this summer and if it feels like sh*t hits the fan just remember there’s probably a million other parents going through exactly what you are! P.S. These clips and road trip was from 2 years ago when the twins were 2 years old, Hudson was 4 and Brodie was also pregnant. Fast forward to now and we just did the same trip with all four of our boys and it was so much smoother. We found this period one of the most challenging but the good news it passes so keep surviving and I hope you follow us to join us on our parenting journey 💙🙏 #parenting #twinboys #toddlers #realisitic #familywalk #twinmom #twinboys #boymom #boydsd #parentsofinstagram #parenthumor #dadjokes #momjokes #july4th #roadtrip #parentproblems #fyp

Two months in and here’s what a realistic morning looks like with NO SCREENS and our 4 boys… and honestly, I would have called you a liar if you had told me this is what it’d be like 2 months ago before cutting out screens 🤯😳 And for any parent on the fence about cutting screens please just know we were scared and thought there was zero chance we’d last this long because honestly we’d been so reliant on them for so long. The truth is though it’s been amazing and actually made our lives as parents way easier. If we can do it you can definitely too!! p.s. if you click link in bio we shared a full post and breakdown of going no screens, why and how. Check it out if you’re interested and please follow if you want to join us on our realisitic parenting journey where we are surviving and learning one day at a time 🙏 #parenting #noscreens #realisitc #notv #screentime #parentingtips #parentlife #fyp #twindad #twinmom #toddlerlife
