Is that even possible with more kids than hands? Actually is it even possible with kids full stop. No matter how many you have? I’m here to tell you it is! I’ve two sets of twins, and while yes there is chaos at times, I’ve truly simplified our life! I searched, longed, prayed for a simple life. The ones you see on insta, the ones you see in magazines. While I do t have sepia filters, and a pantry full of Milner jars (though that part is growing) I’m living a much simpler way of life. I’ve cut out the crap of motherhood busyness. I’ve rid my house of stuff (again this is something I work on often) I’ve cleared the negativity somewhat. If I can cut the overwhelm, simplify life with two sets of twins, a dog, a husband, a home to run and working two businesses did I also mention I’m on the pta & a director of a community charity event group too. If I can get to that simpler motherhood SO CAN YOU! Yes even you!! #mumsofinstagram #simplemotherhood #theeabisabiwayoflife #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodsimplified #mumlifeuk #channelmumvillage #taptotidy #multiplemums #morekidsthanhands (at United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_Tf9isC1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just sat here thinking about the school holidays that are on their way. 3 weeks left at school. Then a whole 6 weeks of adventure & chaos are on their way. I can’t wait for some simple days, exploring local, having micro adventures. We are all so ready for some lazy days. #summerholidays #sunmerschoolholidays #mumof4 #twins #twinstwice #morekidsthanhands #multiplemum #motherhood #mumlife #mumlifeuk #summeradventures #momentsofmine https://www.instagram.com/p/CfcI6XFMGRP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning mamas. Today is the day. A big day. I’ve put this off so many times, Like everything time is precious as a mum. As a mum of 2 sets of twins I know as well as most. But I found huge value in podcasts and YouTube videos. I’m not talking the “get it all done in a day” videos or the speed clean ones. Because actually they made me believe I was failing. But I found ones that gave ways to get me from #FML to # livingmybestlife With all this knowledge, skills I’ve picked up from jobs in the hospitality, entertainments & logistical sectors and from running my own business for several years I’m now able to help others on their journey to living the best life. Welcome to The Chaotic Mum podcast & YouTube channel. Coupled with two communities to be a part of. One - The Chaotic motherhood Tribe to continue the conversations from the podcasts and Youtube videos. https://m.facebook.com/groups/chaoticmotherhoodtribe/ And one - From CHAOS to Calm, a new way of navigating motherhood -https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctcmotherhood/ Exciting times ahead. I’d love you to come along for the journey of embracing those imperfectly chaotic moments as I believe that is where the best memories are born. Podcast can be found here https://anchor.fm/chaoticmum YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/ninaaspencer #podcast #mumlife #chaos #choaticmum #motherhood #multiplemum #mumsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce5R4Sds8a1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Most of the week I’ve been talking about leaving a legacy. Maya Angelou got it right. We need to leave a legacy that can’t be erased. But more than that we need to leave one that inspires our kids. That is leaving positive footprints on the world. It all starts with knowing what we value in life, what really sparks our fire. Creating goals & plans, having dreams to live your best life is a great place to start from. But what if we are struggling to see any kind of path In front of us. What if the load of motherhood is just too much to to even know where to start? Do you need someone to hold your hand, to be your champion, to give you some guidance? I support mums who feel out numbered by their kids. Who know they have to cherish every damn moment because all those posts tell you all the time. But are stuck in the chaos of being mum, running a house maybe even working. DM ME TO SEE HOW I CAN HELP YOU TAKE CHARGE OF THAT CHAOS. #motherhoodmentor #parentingdoula #mumoftwins #multiplemum #mumof4 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAsjFKsL17/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

But who am I? I’m Nina A Spencer that’s who. Mum to two sets of twins, Nina A Spencer, Ninja to her friends is a mum to twins twice! Nina suffered through infertility, then eventually became pregnant with twins and found that motherhood wasn't quite the instaperfect life she had imagined. She developed Postnatal depression, found herself overwhelmed and lonely at times within motherhood. The house in ruin, relationships strained, mental health declining she had the "the mother of all panic attacks" on Christmas day 2014. This breakdown was the push she needed to get the right help, to build her "toolbox of wellbeing" They found they were pregnant with twins again. This time Nina faced her worst of times. She was diagnosed with #PlacentaPercreta, A rare, life threatening pregnancy complication. Using tools Nina picked up through life, within motherhood, mental health struggles & during her past roles: factory floor, hospitality, entertainments, and logistics she now mentors mums who are in overwhelm, hurtling towards burnout. She now holds the hands of these mums to help them create their own bespoke toolbox of wellbeing, give them guidance to take their home and relationships from breaking point to a life that is fulfilled and full of love and memories. #mumlife #mummyblogger #mumssupportingmums #multiplemum #mumoftwins#twinstwice https://www.instagram.com/p/CdsKiqtsVmI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

School run done! As always I’m the one carrying all the bags! Motherhood is a bit like that though isn’t it? All the bags to carry, bags full of chores, full of things to remember, full of chaos, full of who needs to be where when, full of ALL OF THE THINGS! It really can cloud your vision, make the path of motherhood a hard one travel at time. Getting clear of the baggage, getting a clear vision and action plan to where life is going so you can move from #fml to #livingmybestlife is such a great feeling. I’m offering a glimpse of the Wabi-Sabi Way of life program for a snippet of the cost. Wabi-Sabi Clarity is a 4 session mini program designed to get your head clear. This doesn’t have to just be in motherhood it can be business related or anything. This we will get clear on at our first session. I’m opening this just for 10 people. I want you all to get the best from it so keeping the group small allows me to add in for no extra cost a one to one with me. If this feels like it’s for you Or you want to know more DM me for more details or to book on. If you think a friend could Benefit from this tag them share this with them. #getclearonwhatyouwant #clarity #motherhood #mumlife #motherhoodthroughinstagram #mumof4 #mumofboys #mumsofinstagram #mumofgirls #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #twinmum #multiplemum https://www.instagram.com/p/CdV4NkErh_A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love an adventure. We’ve not had many over the past few months as priority has been about the barn renovation. I’m not gonna lie, it’s had a knock on effect to the rest of the house. Stuff being moved from room to room to make way for renovations, piles of office & craft stuff in our family room. And the kids getting a bit of cabin fever due to being stuck home while daddy fixes the barn. That’s why I joined the health club, to get us out adventuring again. That’s why I’ve really had to use my strategies to the max, to keep things straight in the house and not get overwhelmed by it. That’s why now we are starting to be able to permanently relocate my office, Chris’s office I’m going to be working through parts of my own program again to get back on top of the things that we’ve moved around. The strategies are always there to use at different times, even for me! Time to add adventures into the schedule once again too. Life is all about balance and it’s ok to tip the scale either way from time to time. #thewabisabiwayoflife #wabisabimum #motherhood #mumlife #mumoftwinstwice #twinmum #twins #multiplemum #mumofgirls #mumofboys #overwhelmedmum #mumsofinstagram #mumbloggeruk #mumsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CdFba4Ustoo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You’ve heard the struggles I’ve had before. But I want to know what you struggle with. What you feel like you are failing with. What parts of being mum make you feel like you want to pack and bag and run away? Let me know in the comments. Send me a DM if you prefer. But I’d love to know, because I’m working on some free work books to help you stop wanting to run away and start stepping into your very best #mumlife #motherhood #twinmum #multiplemum #mumsofinstagram #mumssupportingmums #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodthroughinstagram #mumsinbusiness #mumofgirls #mumofboys #mumoftoddlers #mumoftweens #overwhelmedmum #overwhelmedbylife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc4keC5sX-k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I said self care what is your first thought? Half an hour to read,a bubble bath, a warm cuppa? But self care is more than that. Self care is the foundation for everything. It’s Easter holidays in our house and a lot of others too. This means self care is often left until the kids are fed, until they have been entertained, until the house is clean, until we get done more money in. Right? But self care, like proper foundational self care is more than that, is needed before all those things. Because if you are going into half term, into your chores, into work, into stressful situations with no self care foundations you are going to crumble. Instead of self care I call it a tool box of well-being. The toolbox of wellbeing is that life jacket you are told to put on first. It’s the teapot you need to fill before you pour into everyone else’s mugs! That’s why I created a micro course. Just for you. Let’s get Self(ish) is my toolbox of wellbeing builder. A micro program to help you go from empty teapot to full of overflowing mugs. To create your own toolbox of wellbeing copy the link below or follow the links in my stories to get the micro program today! https://lifeimperfectly.teachable.com/p/lets-be-self-ish #selfcare #mumlife #mumsofinstagram #mumoftwins #twinmum #motherhood #wabisabiwayoflife #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #motherhoodunplugged #multiplemum #selfcaretoolbox #wellbeing #mumlifeuk #overwhelmedmum https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb61QtrMHvt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Feeling very “cup filled” after the weekend. Yesterday I got plants & candles, and more cards than I have children. As they had all made one each at school, at the craft club, at church & bought one too. This year I feel even more grateful for Mother’s Day. I’m aware that some of my friends spent the day without all of their children at home for one reason or another. On Saturday I soaked up the amazing sunshine by starting the day in the hot tub, and enjoying my cuppa outside at “club” while the kids played on the park. I’ve got through many pages in my new book - it’s amazing. I’ll be chatting about it once I e read and digested all of it. This morning I’m starting the last week of this school term with a full teapot. #mumlife #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #mumsofinstagram #mumoftwins #twinmum #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #twinmum #multiplemum #mumof4 #mumofboys #mumofgirls #wabisabiwayoflife #mothersday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cboys5RswDB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I talk about wabi-sabi life all the time. Embracing imperfect, taking control of the chaos so it doesn’t control you. But what does Embracing 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙖𝙗𝙞-𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙞 𝙒𝙖𝙮 𝙊𝙛 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 look like? We’ll take yesterday for example. I knew that if I put all the shopping away I wouldn’t have time to have a quick dip in the hot tub. So, I put away the fridge & freezer stuff then left the rest for after the school run. For me the wabi-sabi way of life is create a life that doesn’t overwhelm, a life where you can truly be in the moment, where you embrace those imperfectly chaotic moments. Where you decide the rules! I know when you are feeling controlled by the motherhood chaos it can be hard to find a way out. It’s my mission & my passion to get you from controlled by the chaos of the motherhood load to taking charge of it to live your best life. If you fancy a chat about how I can help you get unstuck DM me Chaos Call let’s see if we can get you from motherhood chaos to motherhood calm. #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #mumlife #mumsofinstagram #mumoftwins #mumsofinstagram #mumlifeuk #mumsuk #mumofboys #mumofgirls #mumof4 #twinmum #multiplemum #thewabisabiwayoflife https://www.instagram.com/p/CbeiJgms24Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Life is full of ups and downs. When you are in one of the dips it can be hard to see the way out, hard to see that this is a bad moment not a bad life! Knowing that it’s just a moment is one of the keys to embracing the wabi-sabi way of life. Embrace the imperfectly chaotic moments in motherhood as that’s where the best memories are made. #itsabadmomentnotabadlife #mentalhealthawareness #momentsofmine #wabisabiwayoflife #twins #multiplemum #mumlife #motherhood #momlife #mumquotes #mumsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbcfn_HMJX6/?utm_medium=tumblr

4 years ago. My first article in the paper. Sharing the story of my pivotal moment in life. Back then I knew I wanted to share my story to help others. I just didn’t quite know how. I spoke from the wound rather than the scar. Now 4 years on from this article my story reads very much differently. I’ve put in the work to heal. I’ve put in the work and investment to make my story one people can find comfort in, can find value in. Life isn’t all rosey and perfect. The journey isn’t always straight. And that’s the best part about it. Embrace the wabi-sabi way of life. Today I’m going to be chatting in an inspire and connect group, Wednesday I’m talking to Amy of @the_beauty_rebellion and I’m applying to speak on a very special red dot. Among the other places I’ve already shared and the places that come along in the future. Now I share my story from the scar not the wound. #speakfromthescar #mystory #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #twinmum #multiplemum #timehop #waybackwhen https://www.instagram.com/p/CbW2TrisPBQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
