Remembering I'm more than a mum of multiples.
THE MOTHERHOOD ROLLERCOASTER: Sharing weekly highs and lows of raising twins and the mindset that is getting me through it all.
Why Preparing for Baby Isn’t the Same as Preparing for Motherhood Recently I was chatting with a colleague who had mentioned they’d just found out a friend of theirs is pregnant. As we talked, they wanted to know how to support their friend. I said knowing what I know now as a Mum of 18 […]
The last couple of weeks have been a big season of parenting and life over here. Sickness (my Man, the kids, me). Babies waking early from nap time and joining me on coaching calls. Dreaded phone calls from preschool. Juggling work with kids home. Getting organised to go to auction to buy a house that […]
Before I had my babies, I expected sleepless nights. I expected to be spat up on. I expected my day to look very different. I didn’t expect to wake up one day and not recognise myself. To not feel at home in my body. To feel a complete loss of freedom. I missed the version of […]

She sent me a big list of questions to ask on our visits. It covered things like: […]
My twins starting preschool (and me going back to work) is the biggest shift I’ve experienced since becoming a Mum. I’ve gone from being constantly on alert to my girls to having three days a week where my nervous system can shift down a few gears. I’m no longer parenting 24/7. It’s been a relief. […]
When my fiancé and I first found out we were having twins, my first thought was that I’m never sleeping again. Now they’re over a year old, I can confirm I have, in fact, slept again. And now sleeping through the night (bliss!). Even though my fear of a baby always being awake didn’t quite […]
The last year as a first time mum to twins has been challenging, miraculous and truly life changing. Naturally as my girls turned one, I’ve been thinking about the last year and everything I’ve gone through. What have I learnt? What did I wish I’d known a year ago? What am I glad I didn’t […]
