*****🔥 Burnout 🔥 ***** What do you think burnout looks like? For me it was being frozen, too overwhelmed to even load the washer, it was not having the energy to fight, not having the energy to help my kids grow. Not taking care of mine and my children’s basic needs. We sometimes see memes and posts about mums having messy hair, running around overwhelmed sorting the kids, doing chores, working etc. At what point does the overwhelm turn into burnout though? Overwhelm is where we still have the energy to fight but we just don’t know how. Burn out the energy is gone. Overwhelm is where you know there is a way. Burnout is where you have lost all hope of a way out. I’ve been in the later. I’ve been the one who thought the only way out was to no longer be a mum! Imagine that. You waited 5 years, blood, sweat & endless amounts of tears were shed to get pregnant. Then reality hit, your a mum, the mum load creeps in, you have babies to care for, a home to run, and all the other things that press out time. And so all you can see is maybe you have made a terrible mistake, maybe those kids would be better in a different home. Sometimes I’ve felt selfish for saying this. Because I wanted to get back the life I had pre kids. But then when I hit burnout and finally got over the other side I could see those kids, those moments, the rock bottom had been sent to me, those shitey times had been given to me to learn. And. Learn I Did. I learnt how to love, how to be a good mum, how to stop getting overwhelmed with the overwhelm, how to let go of perfect, how to live better, for me and my family. Don’t let that overwhelm turn to burnout there is a way. There is a solution. #overwhelmedmum #muminoverwhelm #mumssupportingmums #mumlife #mumvillage #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodoverwhelm #parentsofinstagram #parentalburnout https://www.instagram.com/p/CT6btjVMiBv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today is #worldphotographyday apparently and well, I am so grateful for photography. I have self taught over the years, I did 6 months at college learning the basics but in all honesty I didn’t listen and I didn’t even follow the brief when it came to our project because i didn’t like it. I have always wanted to follow my own creative path and produce images that I love. I am proud that I’ve taught myself how to work manual settings, camera angles, use editing software and well basically most photography things I’ve taught myself. I don’t claim to be a “professional” as I’m still not entirely sure what I feel classes you as that really BUT I am so proud that I have made numerous brides and grooms happy with wedding photos, many families happy with their family shoots and well basically have built a business and blog business over the years thanks to photography. My photography love started in Disneyworld when I took a DSLR with me and started capturing things from a “candid” way... which at the time I had no idea was called candid at the time, but candid sounds a lot nicer than natural 😂 For me I see a LOT of self taught photographers and we get a LOT of grief from “professional photographers” because “it’s not about buying a camera and taking photos” and that’s so true, it’s taken years of practice and lots of self teaching lessons and I just love it. Photography is wonderful and our family photos on the wall and in our scrapbooks make me feel so happy and I’m proud that I’ve taken them all! Photographers don’t always require qualifications to be the best, if you have the “eye” and a heck of a lot of dedication then you can absolutely be a photographer. Blogging proves that, there are so many wonderful self taught photographers out there producing stunning imagery. Be proud! . . . . . . . . #photography #photographer #sotonbloggers #southamptonbloggers #southeastbloggers #hampshirebloggers #familytravelblogger #westquayshoppingcentre #westquay #candidchildhood #familyadventures #littleloves #summerwithlittles #southampton #hampshirebloggers #ourbucketlistadventure #mumvillage #channelmum #snaphappybritmums (at Westquay)

Mastitis round 4. 😢 Four times in two months. That's tough. Feeding through the pain, expressing and plenty of massaging to clear those blocked milk ducts once again and hoping to avoid antibiotics once more. I'll be honest, I'm persevering with breastfeeding because I love the closeness of it, because it's easier having the milk ready to go, but ultimately it's because I'm doing something amazing for my baby. But I'm so close to giving up. It's both physically and mentally draining me. It's always painful. It's time-consuming. It takes so much of my time away from my big boy. It's a constant rollercoaster for me. I know that Isabella will be totally healthy and fine if and when we move to exclusively bottle feeding, but I'm not emotionally ready to give up breastfeeding yet. So I'll keep doing this for my pretty girl a while longer. I'm taking one day at a time. The longer I go, the better, but if I have to stop, I know I tried my hardest. ❤ . . . . #breastfeeding #breastfeedinglife #normalizebreastfeeding #mastitis #fedisbest #BabyIsabella #9weeksold #babygirl #blueeyes #blueeyedgirl #mygirl #mumvillage #honestfaceofparenting

In conversations I’ve had over time, I’ve listened, retained & really got amazing peaks of information out of them. Twin Triage is no exception to that, Today I chatted the the beautiful @thechildrensnutritionist about simplifying meal times. Really helping parents to understand how to best help their children develop a healthy mindset when it comes to eating. Telling our children that they can have pudding when they’ve eaten their dinner starts to tell children that pudding is a reward. So then we associate “nice foods” as rewards later on. “One more bite then pudding”stops our children knowing what those different feelings in our bodies mean like hunger & fullness. So what are we really teaching our kids when we chatter to them at dinner. Sarah says maybe just saying nothing. Not having any chatter around what they should eat is how simple dinner time could be! Imagine that! Try it over dinner today. #childhoodnutrition #nutrition #mumlife #motherhoodsimplified #mumsofinstagram #mumvillage #ittakesavillage #mumofboys #mumof4 #mumofgirls https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGfFS_li2Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meal times can be so stressful. Making sure the kids get fed but then making sure they get veggies in them too. That is why I’m so excited about this week. Tomorrow 3rd May My first ever guest on Tuesday Twin Triage is the award winning @thechildrensnutritionist Sarah is a Registered Dietitian, ex NHS Consultant child nutritionist of 22 years and founder of The Children’s Nutritionist™ She’s going to debunk those generational habits that we’ve picked up from society about feeding our kids. Hands up who’s coming. 🙋🏼♀️ If you have any questions for Sarah pop them in the comments below. Or come along to the live tomorrow at 10.30 and get involved in the conversation.

Oh ehm Gee What a few days. The thing is about being stuck in the overwhelming chaos of motherhood is you miss so many opportunities. So many opportunities to grow, to connect, to love, to develop. To truly flipping live. What happens is you let life just happen, you get dragged into the under current of it instead of being gracefully travelling in the flow. Bee inspired,being part of the IATQB being a friend, client, fangirl of the bloody epic @thequeenbeedani and @creativsas and so many other infuckingcredible powerful, epic humans has changed my life. But only because I was able to clear my head, only because I got out of the overwhelm. I have had my eyes opened, I’ve learnt things I didn’t even think I knew I need to learn, I’ve laughed, cried, felt proud, loved, hugged, cried some more and felt truly at home. Bee inspired is more than just that though. It’s a family! #family #beefamily #wabisabiwayoflife #beeinspired #motherhoodoverwhelm #motherhoodunplugged #mumlife #mumvillage #mumbloggeruk #connection https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2prOPMUkU/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well they weren’t my actual words it was more like one word that started with a F and ended with k. When I found out another 2 babies were on their way I panicked. I felt like if made the wrong decisions. I got so overwhelmed. I felt like (and did) crying for weeks. But when I was faced with a life threatening pregnancy complication placenta accreta I knew these babies had been sent for a reason. You see the hand you are given is often only as bad or as good as your mindset. I faced what I thought was my ultimate fear. - death. In actual fact it wasn’t death I was scared of it was never truly living. It taught me life is short. It taught me life needs living. It taught me that I never want to go Back to feeling overwhelmed, not being present in motherhood, in life!! So my question to you are you ready to get out of that overwhelming chaos? If you want to make a start head to my links tab or my stories for access to the free weekly, email newsletter. There is a free quiz to do who doesn’t live. A quiz right? #motherhood #mumlife #overwhelmedmum #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #mumsofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #mumvillage https://www.instagram.com/p/CbsVL77sjXu/?utm_medium=tumblr

So many times I’d sit in the background. I’d sit anxiously watching my twins incase they fell, incase they ran off. I’d be thinking about the things that need to get done when I get home, what’s for dinner, what I need to buy, how much money I need to pay out, whether I’ve enough money to pay the bills, if I’ve enough time to wash my hair, walk the dog, water the plants. If they will sleep that night. Then something happened, I had a breakdown. I was overwhelmed, in search of the perfect life, always trying to think a million steps in front. I had a breakdown and lost who I was. Then as I got better we had a surprise second set of twins and then I had a life threatening pregnancy complication. It puts your priorities in order. Now I don’t recommend you having a breakdown, I don’t recommend you facing a life threatening complication I do recommend getting out of that overwhelm. What I do recommend is to start living! To get out of that overwhelm, to stop striving for perfect. Life is too short to be controlled by the chaos. #wabisabiwayoflife #motherhood #mumlife #mumoftwins #mumsofinstagram #twins #twinsofinstagram #mumoftwinstwice #twinstwice #overwhelm #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodoverwhelm #mumvillage #ittakesavillage #mumsnet #channelmumvillage https://www.instagram.com/p/CbrSMIRMBPB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I hope you e enjoyed getting to know me a little bit better over the past few days. If you are new here, new to my feed there is a ��this is me” highlight in my profile. I’m enjoying stepping into my superpower and leaning into who I am. So for anyone just stumbling across me. I’m Nina A Spencer - The Chaotic Mum. Mum to two sets of twins. & step mum to a 22year old. I support, mentor and calm the chaos in motherhood. Working with Multiple mums, mainly (#twinstwice) however all mums welcome as I know that motherhood can be a challenge with any amount of kiddos. The work I do I’m passionate about as I can see the difference it makes when you can see life with clear focus, I want you to feel embraced, heard & understood & less overwhelmed with motherhood & life. This then allows you to live in the moment and embrace the Wabi-Sabi way of life. #twinmum #mumoftwins #multiplemum #multiples #mumofmultiples #mumofboys #mumofgirls #mumvillage #mumlife #motherhoodoverwhelm https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRyqWNsCeA/?utm_medium=tumblr
