101 | Surviving the First Month With 5 Kids Under 6 (Postpartum Life & Real Mom Survival)

The first month with five children under the age of five is intense, humbling, and completely life-changing. In this episode, I’m sharing an honest look at what the first month postpartum has been like in our home — how we’re surviving, what I’m prioritizing, and what I’ve completely let go of in this season of motherhood.I talk about how my husband taking two weeks off work made a huge difference, the importance of accepting help from family, and why lowering expectations is sometimes the most loving thing you can do for yourself. I also share how I’m teaching my older kids to be more independent — from making their own breakfasts to helping out while I’m holding the baby — and how that shift has changed our daily rhythm.If you’re in the thick of postpartum life, navigating multiple young children, or simply need reassurance that survival is success, this episode is for you. This is real motherhood, imperfect days, and learning to give yourself grace in the busiest season yet.I’m proud to partner with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Better Basics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a Canadian company creating FLOUR that is safe, sustainable, and family-friendly .
