Embrace the Crazy

We get asked all the time how do you do it with four? This provides you some insight into the challenges and joys we have with four time everything. Yes it is mayhem and the volume of everything can be overwhelming but there are some silver linings that we experience that makes it all worth it.

Planning and Organisation = Sanity, or Does It? looks at what we do to try and build in a fraction of structure to our crazy lives. The things that work and the things that don’t and how we work through it when it doesn’t work.

Embrace the Crazy podcast talks about consistency in parenting. From modelling good behaviours, managing outbursts to fairness with your children. Dan and Kristy talk share stories about their parenting and how they work towards consistency with their children.

Dan discusses the key ingredients to maintaining a good exercise and self care schedule focusing particularly on the importance of a good network, a flexible approach and consistency. Kristy speaks frankly about the limitations imposed by kids on ones self care and the importance of joining a gym with a creche. Both reflect on how their relationship has changed with children but also why the need to invest in each other and its payoff!

It is so easy to believe the Insta life but scratch under earth and you see quickly the craziness of a parents life raising 4 kids. One of the keys to our success is our partnership. It's tough almost everyday but we have each other. That gets stretched pretty quickly when tensions rise and so knowing when that is going to happen, understanding each other and having strategies in pace to help each other is a massive factor in getting through it. Dan and Kristy share how they manage the tough times, look after each other and keep their family happy and strong.

Dan and Kristy talk about how amongst the crazy of their life they try and get balance and wellness. From juggling kids and their businesses the couple find time to be together every Friday. They have a baby sitter that they use regularly to have focussed time amongst help from family. Importantly they talk about it regularly knowing when they need time away or together. List to how this busy family make it work for them.
