We had so much fun doing the first #HusBanned episode a year ago, and hearing all your brilliant voice notes, that we've done a part 2! My hilarious friend Kristen Smith (AKA @whineorwine on Instagram) is back and this time we let her partner David and my husband Jesse into the studio as we give the boys their right to reply.We also listen to some more of your fantastic voice notes and seriously, some of these are absolutely hilarious! Thank you so much for sending them in and sorry I couldn't read them all out.Louise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_Kristen Smith: @whineorwineJesse Boyce: @jesse_boyceDavid Jenkins: @david_jenkins_1978 Hosted on Acast.

This episode was such a laugh to do! Not only because I was with the most hilarious mum I know from the school gates Kristen Smith (aka @whineorwine on Instagram) but because you guys sent in your absolutely brilliant #HusBanned stories, about the ridiculous things our husbands do that drive us up the wall!Thank you to Kristen for being a brilliant guest once again and to my husband Jesse and Kristen's partner David for being good sports (and for David's tech support!) and to you all for your fantastic voice notes. Sorry I couldn't read them all out but we will definitely do another episode for #HusBanned Part 2!Louise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_Kristen Smith: @whineorwine Hosted on Acast.

Sasha Louise Pallari is has recently gone viral thanks to her superb campaign #FilterDrop which is encouraging social media users and companies to drop filters from their posts, to create a more honest approach to what we see and upload online. She is a complete inspiration and her fierce and resilient approach to what she believes in has forced the Advertising Standards Agency to officially change the rules as to what companies and influencers can sell products online.She is not just a model, she is a role model who believes we can all be beautiful but we can also be more than that. Louise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_Sasha Pallari: @sashalouisepallari Hosted on Acast.

Everyone needs to know about award-winning Nessa Organics and the amazing Fiona Toomey, CEO and founder, who is changing the skincare industry for the better. We've all used products that have cheap and nasty ingredients in that do your body more harm than good, Nessa is the exact opposite and Fiona joins For Pod's Sake to explain why she was so determined to make clean, organic products, free of junk, that women can use during and after pregnancy AND are safe for your newborn too.She also talks about Bliss, the charity she supports babies who are born prematurely or sick, and their families, and her own story that led her to that organisation and how Nessa supports the charity too. Fiona Toomey (NESSA): @nessaorganicsLouise Boyce: @mamastillgotit_ Hosted on Acast.

AND she is soon going to be a mother.She tells me about how much she is enjoying being pregnant, what made her changed her stance on touching up Instagram photos and how being locked in a house with none other than Ann Widdecombe changed her outlook on life entirely. Ashley James @ashleylouisejamesLouise Boyce @mamastillgotit_ Hosted on Acast.

Whilst in isolation due to Coronavirus and with the help of technology, I speak to Jo Tutchener-Sharp, founder of Scamp & Dude, the award- winning superpower infused fashion brand for kids and grown- ups. Scamp & Dude is the stylish and comfortable brand that us mum's are loving living in whilst at home during lockdown. Jo has also started a competition for kids (and adults too) to design a superhero - and the winner will be printed on a T shirt, as well as so much being donated to the front line staff at the NHS.This is a brand that wants to make a difference? Why? Listen to Jo's incredibly inspiring and tear jerking story with how and why Scamp & Dude began and that Jo really is a real superhero.www.scampanddude.com@scampanddude Hosted on Acast.

In an ideal world, we’d keep makeup artist Wendy Rowe in our bathroom. Famous for making skin look luminous and beautiful for the likes of Victoria Beckham and Sienna Miller and crowed the 'master of nudes' I talk to Wendy about how she makes skin look so flawless, what we should look out for if we decide to have any treatments and if she has David Beckham's phone number. I have been lucky enough for her to paint my face so I know how talented she is and I want to pick her brains about her skin care routine and makeup hacks. I've already tried out her beauty advice and I can safely say it works! Wendy Rowe @wendyroweLouise Boyce @mamastillgotit_#ForPodsSake Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Annabel Karmel, the UK's No.1 children's cookery author & weaning expert has launched her 47th book 'Weaning made Simple' and it's brilliant! As I start to introduce my 6 month old baby to solids, the same questions echo between all parents, When is my baby ready for first foods? Should I be doing baby-led weaning? What foods should I give my baby? How much and how often should I feed him?  What are critical nutrients? How do I introduce them?  What do I need to know about allergies?With over 5 million cookbooks sold worldwide and 30 years of expertise, Annabel equips parents with cutting-edge information and the practical tools needed to make this a stress-free, enjoyable time. She has taught me so much from this podcast and her new book that I wish I could go back in time and do the same with my other two older children. The first tastes are more important than you think!Joining in the conversation;Annabel Karmel @annabelkarmelSagal @sagaleeyaaPaul @daddeliciousand me @mamastillgotit_Please subscribe, rate and review!
