Throwback Episode: The Beauty of a Simple Life with Sarah Battle | How to Manage a 5 Child Home

The Irish Mummy Podcast | Work Life Balance

"Today we’re doing a throwback episode with Sarah Battle from House by the White Thorns, who’s a mother, wife, and interior stylist. She has 5 kids, ages 5, 4, 3, and two 6 month old twins, which tends to gain attention from people, given that they have 5 kids that are all under age 6. We discuss different ways to keep the kids busy and whether it’s best to have them inside or send them outside to play. We also talk about baking and cooking, and how we manage our various meals, and then give ideas of different/simple recipes to make for your family. Sarah tells us where the name of her Instagram page came from, the top places she likes to shop for home decor, and then gives us 5 must-have items to make life easier.

“I try to have them out as much as possible –rain, hail, or snow. Our house is a bungalow, so we have no steps, stairs, there’s no levels in the house. So they can run straight into the kitchen dining area from outside the doors and straight back out.” 9:49
