Emily Norris: Today I thought I would show you what we're
making for breakfast. This is a new find, and it's Caleb's absolute favorite breakfast
now. It is these little cinnamon swirls. So, simple to make, you just pull them out of
the fridge, cut them into six, put them into the oven for 11 minutes. And you have this
amazing, fresh little pastries. Jackson randomly woke up, which he never does.
But he woke up for about two hours in the night. So, feel a bit rough today, so these
are needed with some coffee. And just like that, they're done. So the boys
are going to have these with some berries. And I had loads of people ask me on Instagram
where you can find these. I just found them in the fridge section, near the butter.
So we're just having breakfast on the couch today with this little one. Why did you have
such a bad night?
Jackson: Because I have... There was a monster called
a dinosaur and it was a rainbow and it had a rainbow tail. Had rainbow eyes and it had
a rainbow spikes and rainbow car.
Emily Norris: Oh my goodness.
Caleb: Say that again?
Emily Norris: So I think what he's trying to say is he had
a nightmare about a dinosaur last night, right? Is that right?
Jackson: Yeah I was having a dream of it chasing me.
Emily Norris: He was chasing you? Oh Bubba. Lucky you're
so cute.
Jackson: I'm making a house in Minecraft.
Emily Norris: Are you play Minecraft?
Jackson: Yes, Minecraft.
Emily Norris: So when Caleb plays Minecraft on the TV, Jackson
also has a controller, don't you?
Jackson: Yeah. We play...
Emily Norris: Oh my God. Did you build that?
Caleb: Yeah. We did.
Emily Norris: Wow.
Fraser is already in the front room on a virtual call with his school. They start registration
at quarter past nine, and then they do lessons online now, it's changed slightly. So he literally
has to sit there and do the lessons. So he's already set up. You can see all his little
friends. Teaching in my jammies. September-
Fraser: September, [crosstalk 00:02:16] yeah. I counted
there.
Emily Norris: You're such a good boy.
Fraser: It's so bad.
Emily Norris: That's so good. You could do like a shape
of eyes. Perfect. And like a big mouth. And yay, that's amazing Caleb.
So I now want to show you something that could really help you with homeschooling. And this
section of the video has been sponsored by Argus and Microsoft.
So massive thanks to them for supporting my channel and this video as well. And I'm also
so glad they got in touch because I didn't know that this product existed. It's quite
new. It's really helped us out in terms of making sure that everyone in our house has
what they need to be able to homeschool and to work well. So I wanted to talk you through
the Microsoft 365 Family software products, because it's really helped us out in terms
of functioning better. Because I don't know about you guys, but at the beginning of lockdown,
I genuinely thought this staying at home thing and homeschooling, would last for maybe four
weeks or five weeks. And it was very exciting at the beginning. It was very novel, but now
we are well over three months in, and it is our new reality. We are having to homeschool
the boys every day and try to work alongside them. And a big problem that we had was only
Matt in our family, so my husband, had Office 365 on his computer.
So you probably know Office 365. Basically they have rebranded to Microsoft 365 and they
are the ones that bring you products, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, all of those things
that we like to use and need. So only Matt had that on his computer. So if I needed to
borrow it for work, I would take his laptop and then couldn't work. If the kids needed
it for homeschooling, which was just increasing more and more, like more Word documents were
coming through, more PowerPoints as well, that they needed to watch. So then we were
taking his computer for that as well, and they were having to use it. And then again,
he couldn't work, and it was actually a bit of a nightmare. So this new product, which
is Microsoft 365 Family, is one subscription, but it's for up to six people. It's for the
whole year and it works on all different types of devices, and there's loads of benefits
to having this as well. So this is it here. You can pick it up in
August. For up to six people, for a year, on all kinds of different devices. You get
a huge amount of cloud storage and it's also got advanced security on it. So I wanted to
show you the benefits on the back. So of course you get Word, you get Excel and PowerPoint,
which are the main ones that we've been using. OneNote has some really cool features as well.
You also get Outlook, so you get your own email. And the cloud storage is just huge,
you get one terabyte. So that one terabyte of cloud storage really
stood out to me because you can store about 2 million photos on one terabyte of storage,
and you get that per person. So for me, it's amazing. Obviously I make videos, but equally,
if you just want to keep your high-res family photos safe, you could do that and you will
not run out of storage. Like that is so much. It also has a few other features that I really
like. You can do dictation. So you can dictate text using speech recognition. So if I want
to write something out in OneNote or in Word, or if I want to reply to an email, I can just
talk and it will write out the text that I'm saying. So if I want to brainstorm, or if
I'm struggling to write a caption or a blog or something, I can just talk away and it
will actually write the text out for you. Also, if you're replying to an email, you
can say what you want to say, even if you're holding a baby or like feeding a baby, or
like bouncing someone on your knee. So it's great for multitasking like that.
There's also a researcher tool which can assist with topics for schoolwork and there's even
a maths assistant. So if one of my boys writes out or types out a maths equation in OneNote,
they can then use the maths assistant to help them solve it. But not only solve it, it will
also display step by step instructions on how to reach that solution on their own. So
that in the future, they can actually do it on their own. So it is teaching them, which
is really helpful when obviously I've got the three of them to look after.
So yeah, those are cool features, really affordable as well. So I'll put all the links in the
description down below, if you guys want to check it out. If you also need Microsoft 365
on more devices, I'll put all the details down below.
So I've just come upstairs because homeschooling is actually under control at the moment. So
I'm also going to quickly tidy up upstairs. But because this isn't like a cleaning video,
I'm going to do it as if by magic. I wish it was this easy.
Now that homeschooling is done for the day, I'm going to pack up some food and we're going
to go out for a picnic. It's a beautiful day, and we're trying to get out more often now
because we were finding that if we spent days and days at home, then when we try to go out,
the boys will actually fight us on it and they won't be so keen to go out. So we're
trying to get out every single day now. So I'm going to pack up some food and we'll take
you with us. Jackson's wine glass.
Fraser: Can I have the bubblegum? Bubblegum.
Matt: Bubblegum, bubblegum.
Emily Norris: Jackson you've got your lolly?
Jackson: Yes, blue and orange.
Emily Norris: So we're on our way home from the park and
we had such a nice time. It was just so nice for the kids to sort of, run around together.
And they all would like playing on the Segway and stuff. And now they've gotten ice cream
because there was an ice cream truck. And yeah, it's just little things like this that
make me feel like normal again. It was just so nice to have a bit of an outing and everything.
But it was getting really hot, so we're going to make our way home.
Jackson has just been loving playing with his Peppa Pig toys, and we got him this little
Lego Peppa Pig set. But I seriously need to have a toy clear out because it's just getting
out of control. So now I'm just going to wrap up a present
that I got for my friend's little girl. She just turned five and I love to get these books
as gifts, so I thought I would show you the ones that I got her.
Yes, so I may have showed you these before because our boys have a few of these books,
but they're the Little People, Big Dreams books. And I got her the Coco Chanel one,
and they're just beautifully done, like the illustrations throughout. I also got her the
David Bowie one, which looks really cool. And then I also got her the Greta Thunberg
one as well. So I'm just going to wrap that up and probably just drop it at her doorstep.
There's so many that you can get though. We've got the Muhammad Ali one, we've got the Gandhi
one. You can get Mother Teresa. You can get whole collection on just women in science.
So, they're really nice to get for little girls, as well. We've also got Stephen Hawking
ones. There's just some really great ones. Tonight for dinner, we have homemade tuna
fish cakes, some chips, and raw veggies. Right, so the boys are just playing outside.
I haven't got around to de-cluttering the toys like is was going to. But I quickly thought
I'd grab Matt because so many of you guys have messaged me on Instagram and in the comments
on here, and asked me how he is. So I thought I'd just ask him. How are you?
Matt: I'm alright. You alright?
Emily Norris: How are you cop-
Matt: I'm fine... [crosstalk 00:12:17] from having
children.
Emily Norris: Sorry, the label in Jackson's shorts was really
big, so-
Matt: That is annoying though.
Emily Norris: ... End of the world. But anyway, I've cut
it out and sorry. So how are you?
Matt: I'm alright.
Emily Norris: Okay.
Matt: So yeah. I'm alright-
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: You just get on with it our way.
Emily Norris: You're quite, you're enjoying it, aren't you?
Matt: Yeah I'm enjoying the time with the boys and
you. Yeah, it's like the new normal. But yeah, a bit worried for small businesses.
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: I think the High Streets, in general, in the
UK were struggling anyway. So I think this might see the end to a lot more businesses
than people realize.
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: It's worrying, like self-employed, et cetera.
They've got a lot on their plate at the moment. And I think, a lot of the businesses are okay
for the period up until now. It's which ones are allowed to open as well now. And then
going forward, just because they're open, doesn't mean they're going to survive.
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: Is the government going to help some of the
businesses that aren't even able to open now? Who knows?
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: I'm sure there's a lot of people in the same
boat.
Emily Norris: Yeah, that are just, yeah. Suffering.
Matt: Yeah-
Emily Norris: A lot of people.
Matt: I feel for you.
Emily Norris: Yeah, it is really bad. And then, the other
night, Matt got really annoyed because loads of businesses obviously aren't opening, but
then football's back.
Matt: And they've all got fresh hair cuts.
Emily Norris: And they're all literally so groomed-
Matt: Yeah.
Emily Norris: ... That they've obviously had haircuts.
Matt: It's one rule for one and different for others.
I get it, they've probably all been tested. I think they get tested twice a week or something
fabulous.
Emily Norris: Yeah.
Matt: So they probably aren't, they haven't [crosstalk
00:13:59] got the virus. It's principle
Emily Norris: It wouldn't set a good example. If they all
looked, if their hair was all bad, everyone would be like, "They're just like us".
Matt: Yeah.
Emily Norris: So yeah, he's doing really well.
Matt: Yeah, I'm brilliant, apart from that.
Emily Norris: No.
Matt: And there is football on tonight, so happy
days.
Emily Norris: Again, it's been on every night.
Matt: Well, you're lucky we haven't had the European
Championships, they got canceled, so.
Emily Norris: Lucky me.
Matt: Got a little bit of Premier League, just every
game.
Emily Norris: Yeah, no, Fraser's happy. It is nice that
it's back because it's something to get excited about. [crosstalk 00:14:26] For you, yeah,
I can chill out.
Matt: "You haven't got to talk to me."
Emily Norris: You can watch football. Oh, he's back.
Matt: You've got a little what?
Emily Norris: Okay, anyway.
Whoa.
Fraser: I like doing this.
Emily Norris: That's really cool.
Fraser: Wait, I can't remember.
I go like this, and then I go.
Emily Norris: Whoa. Yay.
Fraser: What's he doing?
Emily Norris: That looks so cool.
Alright guys, so I think I'm going to sign off here because it's bath time and I've just
quickly blitzed the downstairs, but I didn't film it because one of the boys was being
a nudist, it's so hot today. But anyway, thank you so much for watching this video, and of
course the links are in the description to the Microsoft 365 Family. And yeah, I'll see
you in the next one, bye.
