Hey! I’m Danii 🫶🏼

I started posting silly little videos on the internet when I was in the thick of twin motherhood and feeling a little lonely.

Somewhere along the way, those silly little videos turned into a beautiful community… and I completely fell in love with creating content. Something that started as a hobby, just for me, became a little corner of the internet that I genuinely love. 🥹

I’m told I’m pretty honest 😂 Maybe a little too honest sometimes… but I’ve never really seen the point in pretending everything is shiny and perfect.

I talk openly about my own struggles, the things I love, my interests, motherhood, ADHD and maternal mental health — and, more often than not, I’m probably having a laugh at the same time 😂

Being a twin mum is genuinely the best and hardest thing in the world, and I think life is a whole lot easier when we can be honest about the shit show that comes with it.

So, if you like real conversations, a bit of oversharing, plenty of laughs and people who aren’t afraid to show up exactly as they are…

come and join our little community of real, honest humans, happily navigating their own little shit shows. 😂🫶🏼

Things I thought were just “me being difficult”…

Turns out: ADHD. 🫠

And honestly, the diagnosis didn’t just explain my brain.

It made me question how many things I’ve spent YEARS judging myself for that actually had a reason.

Tell me your weirdest “wait… THAT’S ADHD?!” trait 👇

I’ll go first: repeating myself because my brain apparently needs to hear me say it twice. 😂

As a twin mum its something that truly hurts to the core to not be entitled to that time with both babies. you do miss a lot just being in survival mode and the cost is so hard on a family.
what's your thoughts?

If you're spending a small fortune on family days out, you NEED to save this one for next year! 🎃🍂

Our second year visiting Streamvale Farm in Dundonald and somehow it gets better every time! 🧡

From tractor rides, pumpkin picking and witches' discos to cuddling bunnies, bouncy castles and SO much more… the boys were entertained for hours and we STILL didn't get around everything! 🐰🚜

One thing I really love is that they cater for everyone, including quieter sessions for SEN families, so more little ones can enjoy the magic and make those special memories. 🫶🏼

Pram and wheelchair accessible, plenty of parking, food, coffee and donuts… honestly, what's not to love?!

As a twin mum, I want days out that are actually worth the money, and this one absolutely delivers! 🍂

🎃 SAVE this for next year's pumpkin patch plans!

Now tell me… where's the BEST pumpkin patch in Northern Ireland? Have we missed a hidden gem? 👇🏼

I love my kids more than anything… but sometimes this twin mum needs to fuck off for a few hours and remember she's an actual person outside of being MUM. 😂🧖🏼‍♀️

No snacks to fetch. No tiny humans climbing on me. No one shouting MUMMY every 3 seconds.

Just me, some peace and quiet, and a nervous system that's finally stopped fighting for its life. I NEEDED THIS! 💀😂

Mums, when was the last time you did something JUST for you? 👇🏼

Sweating like mad trying to get everyone ready and out the door on time and realising I've 5 minutes to get myself ready 🫠

Cosy & warm vibes for the pumpkin patch which turned out a really nice day 🌞🎃

Trusty Doc Marten boots, red & leopard will always be my fav 🫶🏼

Also fixed that hair before I left or I'd be going about like Krusty the Clown 🤣🤣

What's your favourite pumpkin patch?? 👇🏼👇🏼

POV: You get diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and suddenly SO many things about yourself start making sense. 🫠😂

Things I thought were just me being weird, awkward or a bit socially chaotic… turns out ADHD might explain a lot of them.

The more I learn about my brain, the more I look back and think… HOW DID I NOT REALISE THIS SOONER?! 😭

And honestly, I know I'm not the only woman who spent years thinking there was something wrong with her, when she was just trying to navigate life with an undiagnosed brain.

Tell me I'm not alone… does anyone else do this? 👇🏼

Follow along for more weird traits I didn't realise were my ADHD. Part 6 coming soon! 🫶🏼

@kfc_uki you've got my attention 👀🍗

Let's be honest, we all love a little quick meal for the kids or a wee snack box you don't have to think about when you're in a rush!🤭

Had to try the dirty loaded fries… but is it actually worth the money? 👀

The spicy ones definitely have a kick 🌶️😂

Have you tried them yet? What's your verdict? 👇🏼

Not an AD, i just love a bargain 🤣

One blazer. Three completely different vibes. 🖤✨

👟 Casual — running errands but still wanting to look put together.
👞 Office — giving the illusion I have my life together.
👠 Date night — because the right accessories change EVERYTHING.

Trying to make my wardrobe work harder without constantly buying new clothes because… we’re trying to be financially responsible over here. 😂

Which look is your favourite: 1, 2 or 3? 👇🏼

Twin mum confession… 👀👬💙

Imagine being twins and having different birthdays because you were born on opposite sides of midnight 😂

But genuinely… does it actually matter if twins have different birthdays? Or are they twins, so they should just celebrate together? 👀

I'm curious what other twin mums think about this one! 👇🏻

Mums don't pick soft play for the kids, we pick them for the coffee and the sitting down 😂

Twin mum life means finding places where my boys can burn off some energy while I get to sit down for five minutes and enjoy a HOT coffee because my boys are like labrador puppies that need constant movement and exercise ☕️😂

And honestly, a soft play where the kids can run wild while you sit, chill and grab something to eat? Sign me up!

This one at @airtasticni isn't massive and that's what I like about it, it's clean, well contained and I can watch my kids no matter where I'm sitting instead of losing them in 27 different sections.

Especially with the winter months creeping in and outdoor activities becoming less appealing and sitting at home sounds horrific 👀😂

Would you take your little ones here? 👇🏻
