In her viral video, TikTok user Hannah Carmack (@hannah.carmack) showed her followers what life is like as a mother of five young kids.

the TikToker, who already shared one daughter with her husband when her quadruplets came along, said they were conceived naturally and were a “spontaneous” addition.

She uses her online platform to chronicle her family’s life, which she previously referred to as “feral.”

One of her videos showed her quadruplets’ excited reactions to snack time.

“When your quadruplets know it’s snack time,” Hannah wrote in the clip.

The footage showed her four tots eagerly and quickly crawling towards the kitchen.

“Snack time is always one of our favourites,” the TikTok user told her audience.

Hannah’s husband and older daughter can be seen watching in amusement as the toddlers tear across the floor.

Her followers shared their thoughts on the busy family set-up in the comments section.

“It’s both beautiful and scary,” wrote one viewer.

“I would lose my mind if they all crawled up to me at that speed,” said another follower.

“I can’t. Immediately when they say: ‘[Are] you ready to go home?’ I’ll take one and leave the rest at [the] hospital, I went there to birth one baby,” joked a third commenter.

“They are so cute, they look like those baby turtles that make their way back to the ocean after they hatch in the beach sand,” wrote another person.

“I’d be scared seeing them crawling towards me, so cute,” said one viewer.

“Just like little ducklings, follow the leader,” commented another TikTok user.

More parenting hacks

IF you want to make your life easier as a first-time mum, here’s nine hacks you won’t want to miss.

1. Routine Charts

Create visual charts for daily routines. Use pictures and stickers to make them engaging for younger children.

2. Meal Planning

Plan meals a week in advance to save time and reduce stress. Involve your children in meal prep to teach them cooking skills.

3. Toy Rotation

Keep a portion of toys stored away and rotate them periodically. This keeps playtime fresh and exciting without the need for constant new purchases.

4. DIY Cleaning Solutions

Make child-safe cleaning solutions using vinegar and baking soda. It’s effective and keeps harsh chemicals away from little hands.

5. Time-Out Jar

Create a time-out jar filled with calming activities written on slips of paper. When emotions run high, children can pick an activity to help them settle down.

6. Educational Apps

Utilise educational apps and websites to make screen time productive. Look for ones that offer interactive learning in subjects your child is interested in.

7. Command Centre

Set up a family command centre with a calendar, key hooks, and a bulletin board. It helps keep everyone organised and aware of daily schedules.

8. Emergency Kit

Keep a small emergency kit in the car with essentials like snacks, water, first aid supplies, and a change of clothes. It’s a lifesaver for unexpected situations.

9. Label Everything

Use labels for clothes, school supplies, and lunch boxes. It makes it easier to keep track of belongings, especially in shared spaces like schools.

“I can’t handle one, you should get an award, mum,” wrote one follower.

“The way they crawl after each other is just cutest ever, man,” said another person.

“This is both the most adorable and terrifying sight ever,” commented one viewer.

“Stop, this looks so cute and funny at the same time,” wrote another TikToker.

“It’s beautiful to watch but how scary at night when they wake up hungry!!” joked one commenter.
