Something has to change 😖

I wasn’t planning to post during Allergy Awareness Week, but today nearly tipped me over the edge.

We were turned away from two eateries in a row - because of confusion around food allergies.

This isn’t about being difficult.
It’s about safety.
It’s about inclusion.
It’s about children being able to take part in everyday life.

Right now, too many families are navigating misunderstanding, inconsistency, and fear when eating out.

Something has to change.

I’m not sure what the solution is yet - but I do know that awareness and education are part of it. So I’ll keep sharing what life as an allergy parent really looks like.

If you’re a parent in the same position - you’re not alone 🤍

And if you work in food service or hospitality, taking the time to understand allergies properly truly matters.

🍽️ School dinners are back in the headlines and I went live on to discuss it 📺

There are plans to limit fried foods (and ban deep-fried foods) like chips and nuggets, reduce sugary desserts to once a week, and make sure meals include more veg, fibre and wholegrains.

As a dietitian, I see this as a step in the right direction - but it’s not the full picture.

Yes, improving school meals matters (children can eat up to half their daily intake at school!), but we also need to remember:

✨ It’s about overall eating patterns - not banning the occasional treat

✨ Food still needs to be appealing, or it simply won’t get eaten

✨ What happens at home (and on the way to school!) matters just as much

If we over-restrict foods, we risk making them even more desirable - especially for older children.

For me, the goal isn’t perfection… it’s helping children build a healthy, balanced relationship with food for life 💛

What do you think - is this a positive move or going too far? 👇

Thanks for the fun interview & 🎥

Easter Sunday Photo Dump 📸🐣🌷

I love hearing how other families spend special days, so I thought I’d share ours… we’ve had such a lovely, chilled day with family, including the kids’ cousins!

The day started with prepping a roast at 10am (to eat at 1pm), before hiding (plastic) eggs all around the garden ready for the hunt after lunch. The kids loved racing around, and before they came in, I set out little yellow baskets (found in a charity shop yesterday!) filled with goodies… free-from for H, of course.

I didn’t go overboard with decorations - just the kids’ Easter trees (a tradition passed down to me from my wonderful Grannie) and a few other trinkets dotted around the house that I’ve collected over the years.

All in all, it was a day filled with fun, and I’m very grateful the hailing stopped and the sun even made an appearance!

How was yours? 💛

Two weeks in and I had to share the tips above before they become a distant memory - can you add any more? 🏡🌿

We honestly feel so happy and settled in our new house and are already making plans as to how we can make it our (forever) family home 🏡 .. I’ll share what we do along the way, but I’m most excited for a kitchen - diner (we need to knock a wall down!) and a boot room .. I’m blaming IG for me wanting one of those! It will only be small, but it will be enough for wet coats and muddy shoes! 👟

Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend - hope you have some fun and can also catch a little break yourself too! 🐣🍫

A personal post to mark the end of an era - 11 years to be exact 🥹

If you’ve noticed that I’ve been quieter than usual on Instagram recently, now you know why… on Friday we said a final farewell to the first house we made a home.

I still remember getting the keys back in March 2015 - and after 3 months of renovating, we moved in. Most of what you see though was actually done over the last 5 years or so… including a second kitchen, new decking, and even a fancy fire with a false chimney breast.

Renovating is such a learning curve, and in our new home we’ll be updating as we go - putting everything we’ve learnt into practice.

Do let me know if you’re into interiors?! I’d love to share more if there’s interest… although I’m definitely no interior designer - I’ll be referring back to my many saved IG posts for inspo 😁

I’ve got so many moving tips to share and will pop these over on soon… but first I have to say a huge thank you to our amazing removal company . If you’re based in Yorkshire, I can’t recommend them enough - the team were so efficient and friendly and made the whole day as stress-free as possible.

Have you ever moved house before? I don’t think we’ll be doing it again!

When I was in primary school, I had four adult teeth removed and a single wire brace that expanded my palate and moved my front teeth back. I was probably around 10 years old at the time.

Nowadays, thinking has shifted. With earlier intervention, orthodontic treatment can sometimes reduce the need to remove adult teeth later on.

I recently spoke to .daniel.orthodontist at about and why some parents might consider braces earlier - he explained some of the key reasons👇

• Preventing dental trauma – children are around 3x more likely to experience dental trauma if they have an increased overjet (when the top teeth stick out), as the lips don’t protect the teeth as well. 🛴

• Expansion – in younger children, the palate is still in two halves, meaning it can be gently expanded to change its shape and create space for adult teeth to come through, reducing the likelihood of extractions later on. 🪥

• Growth modification – while children are still growing, orthodontics can help guide jaw growth, potentially reducing the chance of needing jaw surgery later in life. 👨‍⚕️

• Underbites (this isn’t present in our situation) – treatments like protraction face-masks work best between 8–10 years and can reduce the chance of needing jaw surgery later by around 3x 👏🏻

• Bullying – both patient reports and research show that children with noticeable malocclusion (such as a large overjet or overbite) are more likely to experience teasing or bullying. 🙁

So here’s to prevention rather than cure… and bringing on braces next month, I’ll report back! 🦷✨

Has your child had a brace? Any tips for us? 🤔

My 4-year-old may be small, but my word is she a cute little force to be reckoned with 👀 I mean 🥰

Here’s a little insight into our (her!) world… Barbies, dolls, hearts & pretend coffee shops ☕️ ⤴️

I keep telling my husband we have to cherish this age because although it’s bloody hard work and she can be a little whirlwind at times, she’s the cutest little thing - with the most amazing imagination and a real love for role play.

So here’s to enjoying this chapter before the tween years arrive … what’s your little one like?! Or do you already know what’s in store for us?!

PS Swipe through to see how our little girl has taken over our entire house with her toys 🙃

Christmas Camera Roll x 10 📸

Hope you’ve had a wonderful festive break so far ✨ Thought I’d share some highlights and a few of the gifts the kids have absolutely loved. I had so many DMs after sharing stories of the kids’ electric ride-on cars in action… they’re brilliant, and I’ll share some proper videos on the grid when I get a chance to film some without smiling faces in them 😂

2️⃣ P loves her ride-on unicorn and carriage from 🦄

3️⃣ H delighted with his F1 kart from 🚗

4️⃣ The biggest and warmest faux fur coat for a blue-sky Boxing Day at my parents’ house (not new - I got PJs, slippers, lipgloss & snow boots!) ❄️

5️⃣ P very happy with the new additions to her new and box 🩷

6️⃣ Loving the Julia Donaldson films on - we’d never seen Tabby McTat or The Scarecrows’ Wedding before! 🐱

7️⃣ A lovely weekend at (our cosy Airbnb in the Yorkshire Dales). We walked over the hills to Settle and both kids did so well (great food at too) - back along the highway path for ease 😅🌹

8️⃣ Stunning views of Pen-y-ghent on our walk (spot H!)

9️⃣ Saturday night at the cottage attempting a bit of (red light mask & teeth whitening ✔️) ✨
