<⚡️Competition, ad>. Win an annual membership <⚡️Competition, ad>. Win an annual membership to premium online family members club @thevestaclub worth £900 on the blog honestmum.com (link in the bio)...I came to know about @thevestaclub , a new online family members club via its big sister brand, @dazzleandfizz , an immersive events company founded by sisters, Charlotte and Christie which I’d seen featured on TV and online many times over the past few years. Highly sought after (they have lots of famous fans) due to their attention to detail and ability to create the most magical of children’s parties, I knew that their new business venture Vesta, would follow suit, offering a stunning, slick, easy to navigate, useful and entertaining platform for all of the family. heir brand partners also span some of the worlds’ finest hotels and country houses such as The Savoy, The Dorchester and Coworth Park. Vesta helps inform and connect you instantly. There is such a plethora of child-related sites online, it can feel hard to know where to start. This is where Vesta stands out and comes into its own, making it easy for parents like me, carers and children, to safely explore and discover meaningful content (curriculum based content, arts and crafts, printable, recipe videos, fitness content for all the family) as well as garner advice and services, quickly, without any fuss. The kids and I made arts and crafts together, I had a yoga lesson online and they worked out to age appropriate workouts in the lounge. There is also a comprehensive section for Grown Ups on Vesta’s site which I found inspiring and motivating, with key presenters such as celebrity hairstylist @nickyclarkeuk, fitness guru @lawrenceprice_ , Michelin starred chef @stevedrakefood, Model Louise Boyce (@mamastillgotit) and @dillycarter who has been billed as the Marie Kondo of London by the press, at hand to help you with all your beauty, food, fitness and home decor needs.

Thank you to renowned family law barrister Paula R Thank you to renowned family law barrister Paula Rhone-Adrien @familylawguruuk for her vital guest post on my blog, ‘How do I talk to my child about racism?’. Read an excerpt here and the full post at honestmum.com. Things must change. Thinking of the tragedy of George Floyd, heartbreaking. Thank you Paula for your piece. Racism may just not be an issue for you. It simply isn’t something you regularly discuss. Or at most, it may be a topic that requires a nodding acknowledgment from you when it arises but that’s it. So when the alarming killing of George Floyd occurred on 25th May, with the subsequent fury that enveloped thousands of people around the world, you must have had questions yourself about how or why this has all happened. What if you have a child who was also asking you questions? What could you possibly say to explain the anger, hurt, and destruction that was being beamed into your home? If your child is asking questions because either they have seen or overheard something then please don’t shy away from answering, be brave and tackle the question head on. If you don’t have an answer then admit it. Children have a sixth sense for sniffing out a response given to either shut them, or a topic down. If you give them that impression; that there is something to hide, shy away from or be embarrassed about, then that is the impression that they will be left with. This would be wrong, particularly when history tells us that it is those who fail to question or challenge wrongdoing that permits such wrongdoing to fester. In any event, if you don’t give them an answer, they will look somewhere else and who knows where that will lead! So what is racism? Basically, it is the belief that members of other races are not as good as the members of your own race. You believe that your race is superior and that you should be treated better than those who are not of your own race. Children are being taught about race all the time, even in nursery they are taught to describe themselves, their family and their community. They watch TV and will notice differences far more than we give them credit for. READ the rest of the piece on the blog. Link in the bio.

AD. On a weekend we like to jazz up our breakfasts AD. On a weekend we like to jazz up our breakfasts a bit here (because life is slow in lockdown, right). The kids are loving what they've named 'cheesy squeezies' aka @primula_cheese tubes which take me back to my uni days and quick breakfasts on the go (I might have been known to eat directly from the tube)! Did you know that Primula was founded in 1924 and has a unique charitable ownership with ALL of their profits going directly to good causes. Have you tried them? Even my fussy eaters love them. #PrimulaLovesToShare
My husband @peter_broadbent isn’t a fan of socia My husband @peter_broadbent isn’t a fan of social media but it’s his 40th today so I’m sharing a pic of his face on a vegan choc cake I commissioned @theberkshirebakesmith to make, along with few pics (scroll 👉👈) I’ve forced him to take over the years (he’s not a fan of the camera either-opposites attract, right)!...Calm, stoic, cerebral, funny, handsome, considerate and kind, a lockdown birthday is definitely Peter’s kind of party (chilled) 🎉 . I forgot the birthday cake candles so he blew out this big one of mine, and the peonies are really for me under the guise of the lounge party 😹. Thanks for the bubbles @lucygriffithsdotcom too, I’ll be drunk after 1 glass as per (yay) 🍾 😘! ...Love my P and still can’t believe we met at 23 💝
Did you catch Leila @swanny and I on @skynews this Did you catch Leila @swanny and I on @skynews this morning every hour, on the hour (still screening) discussing lockdown. Inevitable digitisation has accelerated due to the corona crisis and there’s now a real opportunity to create flexible, remote and financially-secure careers online. This is a chance to upskill and potentially thrive. Strange not being back in the studio but I created a makeshift one in my bedroom! Thanks for my beautiful 🌈 necklace @the.jewellery.makers -gift>.
