<AD > We had a little Frozen party to celebrate th <AD > We had a little Frozen party to celebrate that Frozen 2 is now streaming on @DisneyPlusUK! My kids adored the first film, Oliver was nearly 4 on release and would sing Let It Go on repeat, and Alexander was a baby who watched and re-watched the film a million times over the years so we're all super excited to find out what sweet sisters Elsa and Anna are up to this time. Oliver's favourite character was the reindeer (random but cute) so he's looking forward to seeing him again and Alexander wants to know if Olaf is up to his goofy tricks once more. I personally want to see if Elsa is still in control of her icy strength and what moral guidance I'll seek this time from the twosome that taught us we can overcome any adversity with love supporting us. FYI, I transformed our lounge into a Frozen party (cleverly if I say so myself!) using wrapping paper as a table cloth and decorating the plates of cupcakes and chicken skewers with sequins and Frozen inspired crafts we made the weekend before with paper plates, felt tips and a solar system arts and craft pack. Easy, fun and 'pretty fantastic' as Xander would say. What are you most looking forward to discovering in Frozen 2? Will you have a party like us? Go on! #HomeofFrozen #Frozen2
Thanks so much to @studentnannies and tutor Sameer Thanks so much to @studentnannies and tutor Sameer for his brilliantly informative, dynamic and fun Zoom Science lesson with Oliver, this morning. I learnt a lot about the Solar System myself! Cambridge University student Sameer provided an engaging, interactive and nurturing lesson with live drawings, visuals and demonstrations in this hour of learning and I was impressed with Oliver’s know-how...If you’re not aware of Student Nannies, they help relieve the homeschooling headache providing we parents with online study buddies for our kids. Their tutors/nannies are top university students from all over the UK and can teach everything from English, maths, languages and science to singing, drama, music, astrophysics and zoology and sessions start from £10/hr. In these 1-2-1 sessions the Student Nanny explains tricky bits, answers questions, boosts confidence and encourages children on. They run the sessions leaving parents to work uninterrupted or you can join in, as I did! The students tutors are inspiring, relatable role models for children - and they engage effortlessly with your child, providing an emotionally safe and inspiring learning environment. Sameer who studies Natural Sciences said, ‘My degree encompasses a wide range of scientific content including modules in biology, chemistry and maths. 'I love teaching, because seeing someone grow in understanding and deepen their conceptual framework is extremely rewarding, and it challenges me to find new ways to think about the world.' Sameer has privately tutored secondary school students, taught younger students sciences at school, and coached public speaking and debating. He charges £15 for GCSE/A-level tuition, and £13 for early secondary and primary school teaching. Parents can discover, book and pay Student Nannies through the platform. All students are ID checked, background checked and interviewed. @studentnannies’ focus is on supportive sessions that put the fun back into learning for both parents and children. Parents can email hello@studentnannies.com or call 07876 391914 for a FREE bespoke matching service to find the perfect Student Nanny for their child. <gifted>
(Ad) If close friends were asked about my personal (Ad) If close friends were asked about my personality, I reckon 'mischievous' would definitely make it into my bio, now more than ever, when silliness and laughter is a welcome relief during this challenging time. I think it's safe to say that my kids have taken after me when it comes to loving a laugh and also having a sweet tooth, for that matter! Thank goodness for arts and crafts and yummy sweets then, to help us get through quarantine and homeschool. You see, delicious sweet makers, @maoam_uk, have joined forces with comedy duo @dickndomofficial creating an online Mischief Hub to help inspire us all to have a little more fun as a family. Bursting with mischievous arts and crafts, the site will keep you all entertained for hours. We made silly socks, wanted posters and sparkly spider’s webs! Check out how we made them on the blog (link in the bio) and enter to win one of 6 sweetie hampers that I have to giveaway too. #MAOAM #MAOAMmischief
Argh, what ruddy wonderful week it’s been (and I Argh, what ruddy wonderful week it’s been (and I’ve not had one of those in a LONG while in lockdown let me tell you) but I’ve seen more of my friends this week and projects I’ve been working on have come to fruition and to top it all off, one of my most favourite authors and illustrators in the 🌍, Lou Hamilton, creator of @brave_newgirl has broadcast episode 11 of her podcast @podstar_podcastpragency where she interviewed me (we clicked, we laughed, I cried) and she also drew me as the Brave New Girl character from my beloved book of hers, Brave New Girl: How To Be Fearless which you can see here 👉👈. Brave New Girls features over 100 beautiful drawings which empower girls and women to overcome adversity and become their most courageous selves. It’s a book I treasure and return to time and time again. It has held my hand through many of life’s challenges: loss, ill health and of course, the struggles in lockdown. And now Brave New Girl is a Mumboss. Lou, thank you for making me a Brave New Girl literally and illustratively ❤️. reative Mums   #womenwhocreate #womeninart #creativemom #creativemoms #artistmom #creativemommy #momart #momartist #womeninarts #womoms_create #mommade #momshop #creativemamas #creativewomen #mamamakers #mamamade #makermama #mamamaker #womenwhodo #mommaker

My latest piece for @fabulousmag is now live (link My latest piece for @fabulousmag is now live (link in the bio) as I share the surprising mum hacks I’ve picked up during lockdown. Extract below. Cheers 🥂! Key workers aside, we parents have been lumbered with one of the toughest jobs during lockdown haven’t we? Hi, my name is Vicki Broadbent and for the last 15 weeks that have felt like a lifetime, I’ve been working three full-time jobs with only one of those being paid. 1) I teach my kids every damn day in the homeschool classroom that I’m forced to be in – and feel like I’ve aged 20 years for the pleasure! It’s true what they say, “To raise a child takes a village, to homeschool a child takes a vineyard”. 2) I am mothering my kids 24/7 (cooking, cleaning, ironing, nurturing, Cinderella-ing et. you get the gist) and 3) I write. I’m lucky to sleep before 2am most nights and while I don’t need you to start getting the violin out for me (I’m well aware of how lucky I am to be healthy and coping – just), I do want to be honest with you. My blog is called Honest Mum after all. And the good news? Despite the fatigue, weight gain, moody kids from the tropical heatwave, the endless sandwich making and late nights hitting deadlines, I’ve accidentally discovered some mum hacks that might just change your life. They’ve helped me to survive and (kinda) thrive during this time. They’re simple, quirky, time-saving and bang on the money. You’re welcome. 1. Day-to-nightwear It sounds bonkers but after bathtime my kids, Oliver and Xander, aged 10 and seven, put on their clean shorts and T-shirts on to sleep in, rather than PJs. It means they’re ready and dressed in the morning, saving time and stress. Now I can take a few Zoom meetings first thing or just eat my breakfast in peace before homeschool begins. This quick hack (frankly, how different are PJs from actual clothes) cuts request and complaint times by half. All the kids have to moan about now is washing their face and brushing their hair and teeth. 2. Sweat it off I bought my husband a treadmill for his 40th birthday in May (which was really for me, wife of year award pending) and my kids run on it several times a week...

Only another 3 weeks of homeschool and 6 weeks of Only another 3 weeks of homeschool and 6 weeks of ‘holiday’ to go until the kids go back to school in September folks-argh 🤯🤯🤯😢😢. Anyone else planning a solo holibobs (FYI, I HATE that word but do find it 😂) the minute normality resumes-and yes, Karen, I’m on my period (thanks for your concern), and yes I love my family really (thanks again for your concern), but YES I need more space right now and feel like running away to be fair because Cinderella over here is shattered!
