This will come as no surprise to parents but resea This will come as no surprise to parents but research confirms that kids snack more than any other group, and that children’s intake of sugar remains well above national recommendations. Worryingly so! A recent study from @arladairyuk’s Arla Explorers found that children consume around 63 grams of sugar a day, which is more than double Public Health England’s daily recommended maximum intake of 24 grams (five-six sugar cubes) per day.WOW! But here's the thing: Arla Explorers also discovered that children actually enjoy humble, simple and natural foods just as much as sugary treats anyway! Yay! As part of the Arla Explorers study, they conducted a behavioural experiment, which saw children aged 6-10 complete a series of tasks to find out their true preferences when it came to snacking. When tasked, 8 out of 10 children chose a healthier option with strawberries, watermelon, apples and carrots being loaded on to plates than sweeter, less fibrous options. It turns out when given the choice, children make the right one. Thank goodness for the Arla Explorers range bridging the gap between what parents like me, want their children to eat and what our children want, with a range of yogurts, packed with naturally sourced ingredients and at least 30% less sugar than other products on the market (and my kids love them).

Big shout-out to @picklelondon who sent me this Ha Big shout-out to @picklelondon who sent me this Happy 🌈 sweater the other day, helping to bring the sunshine in. We all need happy-making bold clothes now more than ever ❤️. It’s tough times right now but these kids of mine are helping me feel happy and strong. When I had a full-on throat operation two years ago which took over a year to recover from, it was my children who taught me that parenting isn’t one-sided and that you can lean on your kids during difficult periods, that they can offer you strength and gift you with lessons. Children live in the moment and guiding me to do the same. Try stay happy people ✌️. (These sweats and tees are designed to raise awareness of the importance of talking about our mental health and raise vital funds for @mindcharity). Earrings c/o fab @trend_tonic ❤️❤️⚡️. #gift ad #picklelondon #happytotalk #mindcharity #mentalhealthawareness

So much going on in the world right now but I want So much going on in the world right now but I wanted to share that my business partners @lucygriffithsdotcom @jackfreud have spent the best part of a year developing a digital video course business: The Working Mother’s Company and Academy that will upskill parents in digital skills providing them with everything they need to know in order to launch a succesful online business/ work online. Oh, and we launch this week!!! We hope the various courses and membership community will help mobilise a great many mums in the UK and US. Across the courses, I share in video and worksheet format, all that I’ve learnt in the past decade pivoting from being a filmmaker and TV director to blogger, vlogger and author, to help others follow suit. WARNING from now: you’ll be seeing a LOT more of me online as there’s a big ad machine behind it all across social media and news sites (so apologies in advance that I’ll be clogging up your timelines/ newsfeeds) but I truly hope this new biz informs and empowers a lot of people. Now more than ever, we can see for ourselves the power and freedom of working online. I’m embarking on some online courses myself over this period indoors. Stay safe and well, people x⁣ ⁣
