We feel this is something that could be applicable to everyone. It could be an unconscious thing that’s happening, which you’re not even aware of, but it’s good to become aware of it. Marriage is basically the biggest commitment we can make and it’s easy to take for granted because it’s just there constantly once you’re married. Your marriage is where you have committed to give it your all and that can take extra dedication to real...

Today we wanted to discuss the concept that your children’s foundation all starts within the home. “It starts at home. Fueling their minds, watering their thoughts, showing them grace, and asking for forgiveness when we’ve fallen short. It starts at home. Building healthy relationships, teaching them manners, showing them the power of kindness. It starts at home. Using words with honour, speaking life into our situations, refusing ...

All of the boys, and the boys particularly, love talking about potty stuff. Something we’ve come to realise is that your first doesn’t notice it too much because they don’t have siblings. They might interact with it a little bit at school, but it doesn’t consume them, but then as you have more kids and they start to speak about it among themselves, it begins to gain momentum as you have more and more children. Our 5th kid just love...

Adam heard something very interesting on a podcast the other day, which said often they see couples all around them, who are in their mid 40s, get divorced over the 10% of things that frustrate them, or annoy them, or that they wish were different, etc. and they set aside the 90% of things that they love about their spouse. “It is so easy to get fixated on someone’s 10% if you’re frustrated with your own life.” In preparation of ta...

Today we are meeting with Ellanee Wilson, the Sleep Coach Mom, and the purpose of this podcast episode is to help moms feel confident in whatever sleep choices they make. Rosie and Ellanee discuss the differences in how touchy your children can be and how this will influence their ability to sleep with you or on their own. Newborn babies often have fairly abnormal sleep patterns after leaving the mother’s womb, so it’s quite normal...

We are so excited for this topic because we feel the first year of motherhood is so special, so intense, it goes by so quickly and we become a whole new person in a short period of time. Jenna discusses how she was both ready to be a mother and follow a career in nursing, and the challenges that has posed, but also the satisfaction she has experienced as she just decided to go for being a mom after her first year of working as a nu...

Today is a short, but very specific episode, which is something that we’re seeing unfold as our kids get older. We have 5 children at this moment, including an 11 year old boy, 7 year old girl, 5 year old boy, 3 year old boy, and 2 year old boy. Something we’ve been observing the past few months is how much the oldest two adore the baby. We have come to realise something important and maybe useful for those who are trying to decide...

We feel a lot of people struggle with this issue where they are ambitious, goal driven, and a little overwhelmed, and then they bring that home and it interrupts the flow of family life. The difficult thing can be when you are going a hundred miles an hour at work, and then you come home only to bring all that to a complete halt and the transition can be a little jarring. You can turn a blowtorch on your family if you’re not carefu...

In today’s episode Adam and Rosie are talking about the importance of giving your kids responsibility as opposed to putting pressure on them, especially for older children. Why they thought about this topic is because there is quite a big gap between the eldest child and the youngest, and Adam has found himself leaning on the oldest for help, but he’s still trying to find that balance between treating him like a boy and young man.

We are so happy to have Mike and Megan Knorpp with us today to tell us all about their amazing life journey with their family. Nearly a decade ago Mike and Megan decided that being afraid wasn’t a good enough reason not to do something. If they couldn’t come up with any other reason but fear keeping them from a dream, then they had to jump in and do it. Following that philosophy has taken their life from normal to amazing. Join us ...

We apologise, Rosie got sick last week and lost her voice, so this episode will sound a bit like a whisper. We don’t know what it was, but on Sunday Rosie would just be staring at something and randomly begin to cry, and it wasn’t like little sniffles, but full on convulsing and sobbing. Rosie didn’t know where this was coming from, but then she realised that she was thinking about her mum constantly and that maybe she was now unle...

What are you fixating on to the point of an obsession? Or what are you incessantly thinking about, speaking about, or acting upon? Is it a career, a relationship, food, a material item or place, your body? Can you make it your intention to acknowledge and master this subtle distraction in your life? We all can get obsessive over all kinds of things and for various different reasons, some of which will be more healthy reasons, but o...

We really wanted to do this topic because we feel that sometimes we think we can avoid certain things in our life, such as patience for example. Sometimes we make life choices, thinking that we can avoid having to be patient when actually patience is something that life is constantly trying to teach us, and it’s kind of our choice how and where we learn it. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we just have to endure and g...

In a marriage, you each are your own individual person, and then there is the whole unit that is you both. You both have different needs at different times, and sometimes at the same time. Adam mentions that he is terrible at being really tired and not wanting to take naps, but then not wanting Rosie to take naps because the idea of having the 5 kids is overwhelming, so neither of their needs are met. We have to consider how many t...

Infertility to Triplets with Shelby Stewart | Realising Your Mothering Doesn’t Divide, It Multiplies
December 12, 2023 • 63 mins
When Shelby was 15 years old, she was diagnosed with cancer, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and she ended up undergoing chemo, radiation, and surgery, removing a tumour off of her heart. During that treatment, the chemo she received really did a number on her reproductive system. Because she was a minor, she wasn’t really given the option to preserve her eggs or do any kind of fertility preservation, so she later had a lot of difficulty fa...

Is Commenting & Analysing Ruining Your Peace as a Parent and in Life? | Switch to Doing for More Joy
December 7, 2023 • 17 mins
In this episode Adam and Rosie are talking all about how to be a better doer, not a better commentator or analyser, the answer to more joy in parenthood and in life. This is a funny and ironic topic to bring up because Adam says he does both those things, which are equally great and annoying. The doer can be annoying, but the commentator is 100% annoying. Fear, fatigue, and frustration are all things that can cause you to procrasti...
