What a special morning I’ve had @langham_london for brunch with a preview into Together, @hollywilloughby’s brillant new @youtube lifestyle show bursting with celebrity interviews (hello @stanleytucci), real life stories, food, fashion and more. Her warmth, grace and decades of TV experience made for a brilliantly funny and engaging trailer. I can’t wait to tune in! Thanks for having me. I absolutely loved chatting to Holly, fellow creators and the press, as well as her good friend @shishib about the music and film world! Now back home to my far less exciting mum life! From Downing Street to brunch with Holly in one week, it’s time to take the time my role as family taxi driver and entertainer. I can’t be boujee all the time 😂! #brunch #hollywilloughby #youtube #fyp #tv mums

I attended a farewell leaving party for the Prime

I attended a farewell leaving party for the Prime Minister @keirstarmer , on Tuesday the 14th of July, in the gardens of @10downingstreet . It was a privilege to firstly be invited (after an on-going collaboration since last October highlighting the government’s policies helping lift children out of poverty) and secondly, to be present to listen to speeches from those Starmer has helped and supported, firstly in his role as an MP for Holborn and St Pancras and prior to his entry into politics, as Director of Public Prosecutions.
A few things of many he’s achieved in 2 years:
The social media ban for under-16s, workers and renters’ rights, upgrading sick pay and parental leave and ending no-fault evictions and fixed term tenancies in England.
He also raised the National Living Wage to £12.71 and settled multiple public sector strikes early in his premiership. He established Great British Energy, launched landmark overhauls of the SEND education system, and scrapped single-headline Ofsted grades in schools.
The NHS waiting list is down by 400,000 with ambulance response times quicker and 200 more GPs in the sector.
There are also 5 million extra NHS appointments, and 4500 more secondary, FE and special school teachers in schools. Knife crime down by 10%. 500,000 more children are eligible for free school meals and 500 more free breakfast clubs open, a subject I interviewed the PM about.
..It was a joy to finally meet @deborahmeaden who has championed my work since I first interviewed her for this blog in 2018. We both said we felt we already knew one another and couldn’t believe this was the first time we were meeting in person. I really value our dms on Instagram and the support and advice Deborah has given me. Super to meet @phunphonics_and_magicmaths and her 5 week old!
I also discussed football with superstar @officialdavidseaman (I used to work for Talk Sport and am slightly football-obsessed) who shared that he still supports Leeds United as he started his career there. What a champ! He predicted England would beat Argentina but it wasn’t to be.
What a memorable day and memorable premiership.

Did you know a British woman named Dawn Brooke is

Did you know a British woman named Dawn Brooke is believed to be the oldest woman to give birth naturally without fertility treatment at the age of 59 in 1997. Brooke gave birth to a son by caesarean section at Princess Elizabeth Hospital on the island of Guernsey. Wow! I had my daughter here at 40 and my consultant had a 50 year old in his care at the same time 🫶. #newborn #babygirl #beingamom #motherhood #parenting momtomom pregnancy pregnancyfacts biology relatable facts research babies twins babyboy geriatricpregnancy

Ad. I’ve frustratingly suffered with gut health issues for what feels like years, whether post-antibiotics or food poisoning and often feeling triggered by even healthy foods. The anxiety that comes with not knowing what will trigger your IBS symptoms can be awful.

However, the past 3 months have shown a huge difference in my health thanks to Sonomono Natto capsules by @livingalphalife so I wanted to share the benefits with you all.

But first, I want to tell you what’s in these capsules:

Sonomono® Natto Powder Capsules contain freeze-dried natto (traditional Japanese fermented soybeans, an ancient Japanese superfood) made from non-GMO Japanese soybeans along with a spore-forming probiotic which survives stomach acid where other conventional probiotics often do not.
There are so many benefits.

They help with
• Gut health-Supports digestion
• Maintaining microbiome balance
• Providing natural probiotics
• Promoting digestive regularity and comfort
• The heart health-Natural nattokinase enzyme, produced during natto fermentation in it, is commonly associated with cardiovascular support.
• They also support bone health as they contain calcium.
• They have naturally occurring Vitamin K2
• And since it’s a vegetable capsule it’s vegan-friendly to boot.
• No strong odour
• No strong flavour
• Easy daily capsule format
• Faster and more convenient than preparing natto foods

I feel and even look better (hello glowing skin and long hair) as the gut affects your whole body including your mind and haven’t suffered digestive issues in as long as I can remember thanks to them!

Starts from £48 per month
• Free UK standard delivery
• 30-day money-back guarantee
• Subscription discount available

A mother’s genetics determines how clever her children are, according to researchers, and the father makes no difference.
Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these, while men only have one.

Despite taking into account several factors, from the participants education to their socio-economic status and beyond, the team still found the best predictor of intelligence was the IQ of the mother. #study #research #dad #iq #intelligence didyouknow factsdaily facts motheranddaughtertime momanddaughter momofthree girlmom boymom science
