Stephanie Jenkins, based in the U.S., frequently posts about her and husband Drew's day-to-day life as a family-of-six on her TikTok account, where she has more than 88,000 followers. 

Recently, the mom - who is pregnant with her fifth child - took to the video-sharing platform to share a time lapse of how she and her partner utilize their small space. 

In a viral video, which has so far amassed more than 10.6 million views, she admitted that she and Drew have a one-bedroom apartment for their family-of-six - going on seven - and one cat.

Stephanie also ruffled some feathers when she disclosed that she and Drew slept in the only bedroom while her four children shared an air mattress in the living room.

The mom-of-four captioned the clip: 'You do what you got to do in small space living, especially when you have a larger family.' 

Stephanie shared a time lapse of her and her family prepping their small space for bedtime. 

The text overlay read: 'To an outsider our environment appears cluttered, disorganized, what have you. 

'But frankly, after making do for three years now, I have nothing but a grateful spirit for the roof over our heads.'

In the video, the mom was seen cleaning up the living room and picking up her children's toys.

She shared footage of herself moving their dining table out of the way so that she could place an air mattress and foam toppers down. 

While their children snooze in the living room, Drew and Stephanie sleep in the one bedroom, complete with a bed, two TVs and a gaming console. 

'As the kids grow older that means we have to constantly adapt our space to give them more privacy,' she said at the start of the video.
