<Ad> We’re working with @forduk for the next 6 m <Ad> We’re working with @forduk for the next 6 months and they’ve kindly gifted us this gorgeous hybrid Ford Kuga (in my fave colour-very jammy I know) so I can bring you the lowdown on this economical, environmentally-friendly 5 seater family car 🚗. I’ve always been obsessed with cars (thanks to my Dad @georgepsarias) and car blogging and vlogging has become a big part of my career over the past few years (I’ve become an accidental car expert-I think). Anyway, I’ll be sharing more over the coming months! P..S. What shall we call her? The boys can’t decide between Nellie and Daisy 🍎 #ford #fordkuga
Oliver had a haircut and I can’t cope, he looks Oliver had a haircut and I can’t cope, he looks so grown up, I feel like it’s his wedding day 😭🤣
Thank you for interviewing me @natjanderson on you Thank you for interviewing me @natjanderson on your brilliantly frank and empowering podcast @officialcapsule. We discussed inequality in the workplace and maternity rights as well as juggling working in the media and motherhood. It was made even more special by being back in my hometown of Leeds. Thank you Natalie ❤️
Caption: #Ad I love Savlon’s Advanced Healing Ge Caption: #Ad I love Savlon’s Advanced Healing Gel because it helps me feel prepared for all the little bumps and scrapes of every day life with two kids. Poor Oliver hurt his hand on the train door the other day but thankfully the gel quickly soothed and helped heal his injured skin. It also prevents scarring too. Savlon Advanced Healing Gel has made everyday injuries worry-free for generations. I remember my own Mum using it on me. Have you used it on your kids too? #SavlonAdvancedHealingGel

Alexander, 7, truly has the sweetest heart 💓 . Alexander, 7, truly has the sweetest heart 💓 . I’ve yet to met a more caring child. Biased I know but everyone who meets Xander says the same...I do think boys are so often confined by limiting stereotypes, I see and read it daily and it really makes me sad. I see it with girls too but as a mother of sons, I’m exposed more to the societal/media pressures of toxic masculinity which start young with assumption boys are generally immature (Oliver is more sensible than I am), will thrive at sport, or enjoy rough play etc etc (mine don’t and whilst your sons might and that’s fine, I’d like more diversity in the way boys are represented and for assumptions to be questioned, more). My sons are thoughtful, artistic, kind, they love to read, play tennis (eldest hates football), they adore all sorts of movies, are tactile, like playing the piano and love to bake and cook. They’re soft and strong, resilient and emotionally intelligent and I hope that peer pressure as they grow won’t change who they are. Luckily, most of their friends are similar to them. Let’s stop limiting boys (and girls) and simply let kids be kids ❤️❤️ I feel so lucky to be a mum to my two darlings ❤️❤️

(Ad) Thanks to BT_UK's fab new app, Digital Dash, (Ad) Thanks to BT_UK's fab new app, Digital Dash, Sports Day 2020 isn't cancelled-yay! This new fun and engaging game (which has educational elements) has been helping my sons, Oliver, 10, and Xander,7, improve their digital skills by training their own athlete avatar, teaching them about physical and emotional resilience and strength. The game has even inspired the boys to race one another in the park! The countdown to BT's live virtual Sports Day event is over! Today at 16:30, kids across the UK will race their own avatars with a chance to win free tech for their schools. The event will be hosted by Middle Distance Runner and Olympian Dame Kelly Holmes and Broadcaster and Presenter Reggie Yates. Get involved by downloading the game on AppStore or Google Play and tuning in to BT’s YouTube channel! Find out more from the link in my bio! #BTDigitalDash
