I’m a mum-of-seven under three including twins & quads, going to the store is a mission – people always ask how I manage
A MUM has been praised online after showing the way she takes her seven children to the store.
Lena took to TikTok to share a video of herself taking her brood – three-year-old twins, an 18-month-old and five-month-old quadruplets – to the local shop.
“We did not get a full grocery haul today but we got a few items, and this is how I do it when I have the wagon and cart by myself.
“My husband is at work Monday to Friday and my two oldest kids are at school, so I baby wear my 18-month-old, the twins will walk or go in the trolley, babies in the wagon.
“And I attach the wagon to the cart with these large clips.
“I keep my right hand on the wagon handlebar and my left hand on the trolley and then we just walk through the store getting some bits.”

Lena added that she keeps her kids fuelled with snacks, and always takes them somewhere fun after the “boring” job of going to the store – like the park.
She also wrote in the caption: ” I baby wear my 18 month old, and then attach the cart to the wagon with large clips and push both.
“My twins will either walk or go in the cart, whatever they are in the mood for.
“Of course lots of snacks and a fun kiddo errand after mum’s boring errands.”

People were quick to praise her in the comments section of the video, with one writing: “but HOW?!
“I have a newborn and a 2 year old and I was overwhelmed the first time I was on my own for 3 hours…”
“Baby wear that newborn! That’ll help a lot for sure,” Lena replied.
“You are Amazing!!” another wrote. “I dread on going places with my 2 month old because she cries so much on car rides or wants to be carried around in the store.”
While a third added: “Honestly you are awesome. I have to build my self up for like a day just to go out with 1 toddler.”
