Parenting Twins Age 5 and Below: My Personal Insights Hi Mama, There’s this saying I’ve often heard – “The years are short and the days are long” – and trust me, it couldn’t ring more true when it comes to raising twins! The Science and Stats To kickstart our discussion, let’s look at some statistics to put things into perspective. In New Zealand, twins account for about 2% of all pregnancies. Interestingly, among these twin pregnancies, 75% are fraternal twins, and 25% are identical. For those unfamiliar with these terms, let me explain: Fraternal twins occur when the mother releases two eggs ..read more

I’ve seen it over and over again, with myself, my friends and my clients – when we dedicate some uninterrupted time to pursue ou ..read more

Hi mama, I’m sure you’ve heard of mindfulness. The word is everywhere now and it seems that everyone is doing it. What is mindfulness? One of my favourite definition is by a well-known researcher and ‘guru’ of this subject, Jon Kabat-Zinn: “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.” John Kabat-Zinn’s definition is short and sweet, although a bit dry. The best quote I’ve seen on this subject is from the Dalai Lama himself. He was asked what surprised him the most, and he said: “Man, because he sacrifices his health in order ..read more

One of my favourite quotes is “You cannot pour from an empty cup”. As mums, we tend to do everything for everyone and have ourselves on the bottom of the list.   However, we cannot run on an empty tank and most mums get to a point where they are exhausted, burned out and run down. One of the challenges we face as mums is knowing where our energy level is.   Unfortunately, we don’t have a battery symbol on our wrist that tells us how we are doing physically, emotionally and mentally. What do you do when your phone battery drops down to 10 or 20% – do you keep using the phone until i ..read more
