Hey there! I’m Aypril, a 34 year old mom of five incredibly wild kids, and I’m so excited to finally start sharing our life with you. This is a space where I’ll be honest about the chaos, the laughter, the lack tears, and the moments that make each day unforgettable. Whether you’re a fellow parent, curious about how I manage it all, or just here for the humour—welcome to the ride!
Alright, gather ‘round. You’re about to hear the tale of my recent supermarket expedition that ended with a kitchen that looked like a scene from a disaster movie. Picture this: a big food shop that cost me a small fortune—fresh, frozen, laundry products, hygiene items—you name it, I bought it. My kitchen counters now looked like those TikTok videos where people go all “stock my fridge with me,” except mine was more “stock my fridge and have an existential crisis.”
Hello lovely readers,
If you think being selfish is a bad, let me warn you—you might need to recalibrate your understanding of motherhood. Sure, it’s a bit of a dirty little secret, but guess what? Selfishness, when done right, can be like wearing a cape on those tiring days when you feel like you might just float away.
Hello, lovely readers! It’s me again, your trusty guide through the whirlwind of parenting, bargain-hunting, and trying not to lose the plot. Ah, half-term— that magical period when the school gates close, the routine goes out the window, and chaos takes over like a squirrel on a sugar high.
Since the chaos of half-term has finally settled (well, at least a little), I’ve decided it’s high time to get proactive. Yep, I’ve donned my DIY apron—more like a paint-splattered uniform—and I’m here to tell you: I am making it work. Move over, Pinterest, because this week, I went full-on decorating mode—with five children at home, because of course I did.
As I sit down to write this blog post, I can’t help but eye the snack cupboard like it’s a treasure trove waiting to be raided. With five children running around the house like a stampede of miniature elephants, maintaining my sanity has become a full-time job. And let’s be honest—when the stress piles up, there’s nothing quite like a chocolate bar to offer that temporary solace. But is that really helping me? Spoiler alert: no!
Thanks for stopping by and joining me on this wild ride. Life with five kids is a never-ending adventure—carefully curated chaos, laughter, tears, and a whole lot of love. I hope you find comfort in knowing you’re not alone in the madness, and maybe, just maybe, laugh along the way.
Stay tuned for more sneak peeks into our daily chaos—because with Five Kids, there’s never a dull moment.
