Speaker 1: Mommy.
Emily M.: Okay.
Speaker 1: Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy.
Emily M.: What're you doing?
Speaker 1: Mommy.
Speaker 1: Hi guys!
Emily M.: Wait, stand back a bit.
Emily M.: Good morning guys, we thought we would blog today. 'cause we just got-
Speaker 1: [inaudible 00:01:31]
Emily M.: Are you Jackson? Yes.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Jack.
Emily M.: You're Jack Jack. So the two big boys are back at school. I've got the morning
with Jackson. And then this afternoon I'm going to London to record a podcast-
Speaker 1: Mommy no!
Emily M.: With Louise Pentlan. So I thought it was a good... Eyes, so. Its a good day
to show you how I juggle work, and... It might be difficult, because as you can see,
Speaker 1: I want an outtro!
Emily M.: Jackson is trying to take over my channel. Aren't you? He loves the camera.
Speaker 1: Hello!
Emily M.: Excited!
Speaker 1: Mommy!
Emily M.: Yay!
Emily M.: In the car now, and we're off out. It is raining, and we were supposed to go
to the gray ground to see, of course, the playground. But now that it's raining, we're
just gonna go to our usual coffee shop. It has a little Soft Play in it. And we go there
so often that they know his order. As soon as they see Jackson they get his juice out
and they get the cookie that he normally has out.
Emily M.: So we're gonna go there, but he does really enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I want to stomp my feet.
Emily M.: What's that? Stomp your feet? You're gonna stomp your feet? Right, should we go
and get a coffee?
Speaker 1: Yeah!
Emily M.: Yeah! Let's go!
Emily M.: Can I come in?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Emily M.: Okay.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Emily M.: I'm a bit big though, aren't I?
Emily M.: Right, we're at the self-play. Yeah, I let him get a lolli. I was picking my battles,
they've now got ice creams in here. Its like an all fruit one, so like, chill. Its only
10 AM. But he's very jetlagged.
Speaker 1: [inaudible 00:03:45]
Emily M.: What we doing now?
Speaker 1: Easter eggs.
Emily M.: Easter eggs? You're looking for Easter eggs? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Circle.
Emily M.: So Jackson.
Speaker 1: Me!
Emily M.: Right, so we're finished at Soft Play, and we've now come to our favorite little
café to have a tuna panini.
Emily M.: We're gonna share, aren't we? We're gonna share. No? We are gonna share, yeah.
Speaker 1: We're gonna share our lolli?
Emily M.: We're gonna share lollis? We're gonna share sandwich.
Emily M.: Jack's wanted to eat with a knife and fork. Cut it up.
Emily M.: You don't like touching sandwiches do you? No you're so much like your big brother.
Speaker 1: [inaudible 00:04:28]
Emily M.: So we just finished lunch, and now its stopped raining. So I might actually try
and take him to the playground. 'cause he really loves going. Jackson is talking so
much now, but, sometimes it gets us into trouble. He calls any elderly person grandma. So when
we were sat there at lunch, this elderly couple came in and sat down next to us. And he was
like, "hi grandma! Hi grandma." And she was like, "I am someone's grandma." And she was
actually really sweet, she was fine with it.
Emily M.: I'm scared he might say it to someone who's not a grandma. But anyway we're off
now.
Emily M.: Now that Jackson's a little bit older, he's hating getting into his car seat.
So while I put the buggy-
Speaker 1: I don't wanna go in a car seat.
Emily M.: In the boot, I put him in the driver's seat. And he pretends to drive for a bit.
And then, he then lets me put him in the car seat. So it takes a bit longer, but at least
there's no tears. He keeps turning on the hazard lights as well.
Speaker 1: Driving.
Emily M.: Are you gonna drive us?
Speaker 1: No.
Emily M.: You drive me home? Yeah? Coming then. Should we go? Let's try the playground.
Or do you think it's gonna rain again? It might, or it might all be wet.
Speaker 1: Or it could be sunny.
Emily M.: Yeah, lets get it sunny. Do you like sunny or rainy?
Speaker 1: Sunny!
Emily M.: Yeah! Me too.
Emily M.: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this way!
Emily M.: Yeah, lets go this way.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drive!
Emily M.: What do you want to play at the playground? You wanna drive? Should we get
you a car when you're a big boy?
Speaker 1: Car.
Emily M.: Yeah, get you a car. Let's tighten this baby up.
Speaker 1: [inaudible 00:06:13]
Emily M.: So it's so typical, we got to the park, the sun is shining, and Jackson is fast
asleep. So I've just come home, I'm gonna try and transfer him to the couch, and then
do a little bit of work as well and prepare for this afternoon. We're doing a podcast
this afternoon, and I've only ever done one before. So I need to just get prepared, and
think about what I might say. I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm sure it will be really
fun. So, yeah. Not ideal.
Emily M.: Right, so I'm on my way to London now. I quickly got ready, and Jackson was
still napping when I left. I left him with Matt. And I'm on my way to meet Louise. She's
so lovely, and she's always been so supportive of my channel. And I just love having her
as a friend, because she's been on YouTube for 10 years. She's the type of person I can
always like turn to and ask questions and opinions on and everything, and she's just
really lovely.
Emily M.: So I'm on my way to meet her now.
Speaker 3: [inaudible 00:07:07]
Emily M.: No. No I haven't. I should really.
Emily M.: I met Louise, just for her sake, so someone's gonna come and get me. As I walked
in, there were paps everywhere. And as I walked into reception, Kelly Brooke was there. And
yeah, I'm a bit nervous now. So yeah.
Emily M.: Right, I'm here.
Louise P.: Dun duh-duh! Dun duh-duh! I don't know why om doing a jingle.
Emily M.: There's the jingle! [crosstalk 00:07:33]

00:08:17]
Angela S.: I heard you're the hack queen babe, so I don't think I'd-
Emily M.: Right, so we're all done in the studio. Can I say that.
Angela S.: You can say that, it is a studio.
Emily M.: Okay, right. So.
Angela S.: We're keeping some bits under wraps.
Emily M.: Yes. Yeah, very exciting. So now we've just come for a little wander around
Coven Garden, and Louise is taking me to her favorite jewelry shop.
Angela S.: I don't know how- [crosstalk 00:08:36]
Emily M.: She's actually wearing some of it-
Angela S.: Oh yeah.
Emily M.: Right now.
Angela S.: These little earrings.
Emily M.: Yeah.
Emily M.: We've just had the weirdest experience ever.
Angela S.: The worst [inaudible 00:08:49] so that's my favorite little jewelry shop,
'cause I love the jewelry. [crosstalk 00:08:52]
Emily M.: Yeah, it does have some cute stuff.
Angela S.: It has beautiful product. Don't go there at Coven Garden[crosstalk 00:08:56]
Emily M.: Moving on. Yeah, don't bother.
Angela S.: But-
Emily M.: Right guys, I'm home now. And as soon as I walked in, the boys were just being
put to bed. So I helped put Caleb to bed, Jackson was already asleep. And Frasier went
off as well. So yeah. Right now I'm just gonna eat dinner. Matt has made a prawn curry, which
looks very nice. And he's just here.
Emily M.: And he's taking the mick out of a hat that I just ordered on Zara.
Matt: [crosstalk 00:09:21]
Emily M.: I thought it could look really nice.
Matt: I like it.
Emily M.: Its like a... you see them models, they look so nice in it, and just a dress.
Matt: What you said.
Emily M.: I thought it would look good on me.
Matt: And I've got a dress on.
Emily M.: I don't think I could pull it off. But yeah, you did a good job. I feel really
bad 'cause I left him the night. He had to do all the school run, and it was swimming
lessons.
Matt: I basically had to be a dad.
Emily M.: No. You don't mean like. Normally, you don't have to have Jackson in tow for
swimming. So. Sorry.
Matt: He loved it.
Emily M.: Did he, you think?
Matt: Yeah.
Emily M.: Oh, those kids.
Matt: He only got in the pool once.
Emily M.: Oh no, that's what's [inaudible 00:09:55] you can only do swim lessons from
age 3. So he's not old enough.
Emily M.: When we went away, and all of us were in the same room on holiday, Jackson
got in a habit of sleeping in our bed. With us. So now that we're home, its been really
hard. We've had a couple of nights with him in the bed with us. And then, Matt was like,
we just need to cry him out again. Control cry him, sorry. I need to let him make that
clear. Because people were worried that I'm just leaving him.
Emily M.: But we control cried him, and he went off, didn't he? Luckily I was not here
when Matt did it. But yeah, it will take a week, probably, to sort him out.
Matt: He's fine.
Emily M.: He's fine? Matt said he's fine. For him. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this
blog, and seeing what we got up to, on a mommy slash working day. And thanks so much for
watching, and I'll see you soon. Bye guys!
Emily M.: What do you think? Is this a yes or a no? Please comment below. I don't know.
I don't know if I'm feeling it.
