⭐️ New business alert!!! ⭐️ As a mum who t ⭐️ New business alert!!! ⭐️ As a mum who took the leap and started a business during the last crisis over a decade ago, I can relate to feelings of fear and uncertainty most of us are feeling right now. 🤷 How can you take the risk out of building a business to make you feel secure during uncertainty, without having to; 🙁 Sacrifice spending quality time with the family 🙁Juggle so many tasks that it makes your head spin 🙁 Spend endless months or YEARS trying to figure out how to put the pieces together to make it a success, and by that time you've missed your opportunity... It doesn’t have to be that way! Being a parent has its own challenges without trying to navigate through the obstacle of building a business on your own terms. Now more than ever before, mums are taking that leap to get off the hamster wheel and build their businesses online. I was where many mums are years ago. For me, figuring out what life would look like post-baby was one of the hardest parts of becoming a mum. That, coupled with the lack of flexible working and high childcare costs was limiting. But taking a risk and starting a blog changed my life. I discovered that I could have my own career AND still have the flexibility to be the mom I wanted. And you can too! I've helped thousands of women follow their dreams from doctors to entrepreneurs, TV presenters, authors, teachers and stay at home parents. What I’ve learned over the years led me to create Confidence To Go For It, a complete system that walks you through step by step how to turn your creative passions into something profitable and meaningful by harnessing the potential of your phone and social media to build that 6 figure business that fits around your family. It's YOUR turn to learn all of my previously unseen tips and strategies. In my course, you’ll discover ✅ How to monetise YOU and what you do ✅ Building a personal brand on social media and be paid for being you! ✅ Becoming a supreme mother-juggler to create structures that work for you and your family Link in my bio ❤️

These two have realised quite how lucky they are to have to have one another lately, so much so, Xander jumped into Oliver’s bed for a cuddle before he went to sleep and my heart melted 💔. These days sure are bittersweet. Stay well everyone ❤️ #kids #kidsofinstagram #honestmum #cute. (Bedding gift ad).

Just look at their happy faces! These two are clea Just look at their happy faces! These two are clearly LOVING homeschool 🤪🤪🤪🤪. To be honest, we have been having fun together but it’s been a bit of a tipsy turvy ride so far: a good day (chilled, homeschool flows, the kids get on) followed by a stressful one where they bicker, don’t want to learn and I become Shouty Mum. We’re all finding our way though, right. We’re more anxious, our kids’ routine is completely out of whack, we’re at home for the majority of the day so we need to cut ourselves some slack. Today I’ve been more relaxed, I’ve taken the pressure off myself to be Mary Poppins and I’ve taken the pressure off my kids to replicate a full school day (which is impossible, so we’re just trying our best juggling a few hours of work with exercise and movies) and most importantly, living in the moment more. Less shouting, more cuddles. Sending love to everyone trying their best too as we navigate this new way of parenting together. #homeschool #parenting #honestmum #mumboss #momboss #parenting #motherhood #mom #family #kidsofig #windsor #brothers #siblings #blogger #momaofig #siblings #lockdown #children #homeschooling #homeschoollifestyle #homeschoollife

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).

I’m teaching the kids about managing money durin I’m teaching the kids about managing money during this homeschool period with the new Revolut Junior app @revolutapp. It’s vital children learn financial skills as early as possible so they’ll grow up to be adults who are live within their means. Over on the blog, 3 readers can win annual Metal accounts worth £120 each. Head to Honestmum.com. Good luck 🌟 (we are also on the app homepage which Oliver said was, ‘super cool’. So cute 🥰! #revolutjunior #ad #juniorfamily
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
