Hey there, awesome parents and fellow life jugglers! 🌟
Let us introduce ourselves—the dynamic duo behind The Big Sisters Guide to Parenting! We’re on a mission to make the world a better place, one laugh, one heartfelt conversation, and one glass of wine at a time.
Between the two of us, we’ve got nine kids, two husbands, seven siblings, and a dog. Yes, you read that right. That’s a lot of little (and not-so-little) humans relying on us for advice, support, and the occasional “What were you thinking?!” moment. We don’t claim to be the best big sisters, mums, or wives, but we sure as heck are doing our best!
Life is a beautiful, chaotic dance, and we’re here to share our steps with you. We wear many hats: good daughters, loving wives, loyal friends, competent cooks (most days), and all the other roles life throws our way. But here’s what we’ve learned: the best thing we can give the people around us is our time.
Our siblings often just need 10 minutes to be heard, to know someone’s really listening. As big sisters, we might get things wrong (okay, a lot of the time), but there’s something about being the older one that makes them look up to us. Maybe it’s the wisdom, or maybe it’s just that we’ve made all the mistakes first!
So here we are, sitting with our glasses of red wine, staring at to-do lists longer than all our siblings’ arms combined. And you know what we’ve realised? Sometimes, you just need to breathe, pour another glass of wine, and remember that it will be easier tomorrow.
Join us on this wild ride as we navigate the ups and downs of parenting, sisterhood, and everything in between. Together, we’ll laugh, cry, and maybe even find a little peace in the chaos.
With love and a toast to all the amazing big sisters, mums, and multitasking superheroes out there! 🥂
Cheers,
Julia and Odette x
