For the boys eating bland food, i was given the advice that most children go through the phase and do come out of it. They said to eat together and give them their bland food, but serve the food from the middle of the table and also have your food on offer to serve on the table. E.g main meal is lasagne and salad but they're only having chicken and chips, put 4 seperate dishes on the table (lasagne, salad, chicken nuggets, chips) and ask them what they want and serve on their plate what they ask for. Dont add any pressure on them, and eventually they'll phase out of it. They said keep staying consistent with it and keep meal times relaxed and stress free. They also said to remove any distractions around mealtimes, so no ipads or tvs. Just sit together talk and eat. Resources were from a organisation called Strong Start. You're doing a fab job all around guys! Love the videos
Fab, it’s ok to vent. We all need to talk about our challenges and get it off of our chests. It would be so hard trying to take care of two kids at one time. Especially when they are sick. Ell, you sure are dedicated to running. You go girl. I love it.
Eating for boys: this worked for me but it took a while. Give them a nugget, a smiley and a couple of crisps but put one or two little cut up sausage rounds, 1 carrot round, 4 peas (or whatever you like) and put these things on their plates every single dinner time. Don’t make a fuss about them eating the extras. Eventually they will. They can’t eat what isn’t on the plate, so offer something extra to their favourites. Don’t give them enough of their favourites that they won’t be a bit hungry for something else. Of course don’t let them go hungry but they could always have fruit to top up. Encourage them to try the extra food from time to time but not always. Don’t allow the throwing it though. Just say, ‘No no, just leave it on your plate and Mummy will take it when you’ve finished eating.’ Be consistent. It is a slow win for the parents, but if it worked for me, it might work for you.
Hi guys, Single parent here and it’s absolutely ok to off load and go through the hard times aswell as the good times, toddlers are adorable and an amazing age I love it but my god it’s challenging! 😂 but you are absolutely doing an amazing job both of you!
Little ones feeling unwell is one of the most difficult challenges. This year's cold season and the cough that comes with it is horrendous! I do hope your family and the boys are feeling better, bless them! Much love from Louisiana USA ❤
The best thing to do is have your meals together. Have the children eat the same meal helps a lot. Don’t buy the unhealthy foods and let them see there isn’t any in the fridge. The whole out of sight out of mind theory. Give it a little time but they will start to eat your dinners.Also little ones have the growth spurts so sometimes they are very hungry and those days they won’t eat they really don’t need anything. It’s a weird thought to wrap the head around but it’ll be that way through their first four years.
An old fashoined way to get them to eat other things is to grow them, get a mini greenhouse and get them involved watering and growing, strawberrys are easy, tomatoes, peas it worked with my son
I love watching your vlogs! I feel so bad for the boys. They really look so sick but they are still trying to have fun. That same sickness is everywhere here in the United States and it’s very strange because people will start to think they are over it and then it seems to come right back. I hope they start to feel much better very soon. You are doing so great on your runs Ell. You are so dedicated. You do a great job with taking care of the boys by yourself Fab. Yes it is a hard job, Especially when they are sick but that’s when they need you the most. You are a great dad and ELL is a great mom. I hope that all of y’all get well real soon. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida😎🌴🐠🌴😎
well done guys you're both doing great, Fab you're a great dad , vent if you like because looking after 1 toddler is hard so you're smashing it as a daddy xx Ell is just a bloody machine , how she does all that running I'll never know but well done girl you look amazing and smashing the healthy life style ❤ XXX
Well done Ellen..you are just amazing..it just goes to show you can do whatever you want once you put you mind to doing it..and Fab you are hilarious with your little boys so much love and lots of fun ❤❤❤❤
Love watching you guys! You're smashing it Ell! 🥳 Fab, do you realise you have Christmas music playing through this? 🤭 Hope the boys feel better soon 💚
Oh guys you are so good. Omg Fab it’s ok to vent and really you are both doing so well with the boys. It’s very hard with twins when they are sick. I have twin grandsons and they want your attention when they are sick and it’s hard you sometimes wish you could half yourself lol. Ell amazing wow girl you go for it. What a brilliant job with your running. Great that you are doing it for yourself too. Good for you. Hope the boys are soon 9n the mend bless them. Nothing tears the heart more than a sick child. Take care thanks ❤🇦🇺
Hey! just a little tip that worked for myself, I usually have really dry skin as I work on planes and a dermatologist advised me to not use a soap to was my face in the morning to simple just use water to rinse my face. That has massively helped with my dry skin on my face as regardless of what soap/cleanser you use it can be drying so I now don't use a cleanser in the morning and its worked wonders. Hope this helps xx
My goals this year is to add weights to my training. I do speed walk about 10 miles fives days a week which is what I’ve always done as I love walking but I think with weights I can improve my tennis game. I already eat extremely healthy. The last fast food or processed food was in 1986 but I do need to add more protein. Healthy living goals are the best goals. Ell your running is absolutely amazing.
Ellen Sti…… oh we don’t need to do that? Ok, 😂 great vlog guys. Parenting toddlers who are poorly is hard but I can only imagine how much harder it is when there’s 2 of them. Our whole household caught fluenza A over the Christmas (I came down with it Christmas Eve) and by NYE we all had it including our 21m old and we had to rush him to hospital at 1am because he wasn’t breathing properly 😭 they thought he had meningitis. It was so stressful and hard. I’m pleased we are all on the mend now but it’s been an awful start to 2025 for us xx
@ oh and he had tonsilitis from the flu but couldn’t treat it because the flu is viral not bacterial so it wouldn’t work anyway 😭 but as silly as it sounds I’m pleased it was “only” fluenza A and not meningitis because that outcome is too much to bare. Thankful for the small mercies x
My daughter's 2 twin boys who are 4 are exactly the same ...you two are doing an amazing job!...when one twin gets a bug the other gets it then it does the rounds ...you guys are amazing ..great tat fab!❤
Bless you all ,,aw Ell you are the double of my daughter, she's an absolute beautiful soul just like you ,any vligs are fine my darling, love you all ❤
Aww bless the boys! I’m glad you’ve gotten over the worst of it though FYI when removing the second skin on tattoos always remove while in the shower and pull up not away like you would think and it’ll come off so easily, leave to dry and only moisturise when it feels dry, don’t over cream and don’t ever remove dry Hate that mince comes in that packet it’s just mush now! Would love to see a how to get into running video or TikTok 🥰 trying to do the same myself atm and can’t seem to get going Love you guys 💗
My friends daughter works at centre parc and she was saying they have had a bug there week before last and she kindly brought it home. Kids don't stop sharing with you no matter the age 😂 hope you are all feeling better
Hope the boys are all better soon. I remember the horrendous sickness bug where schools were closed in the uk for disinfecting. My eldest three were little and all had it. It was dire! I’ve been a single Mother to five for twelve years. My youngest is fourteen. Well done on the run, Ell 👏👏👏 bloody brilliant 🎉 I’ve been nicotine free for five days! I gave up smoking years ago and vaped but now I’ve on my fifth day of no nicotine 👍 Lots of love ❤
Don’t plate up there dinners sit them with a snack plate and an empty bowl and let them help themselves, this is normal in the end a fed child is a full happy child , you have years to address this some kids just notice taste now and don’t want any flavours , even kids that loved fruit n veg suddenly want bland beige food , just buy the healthiest nuggets that you can buy , and possibly take them to the shops just to choose things for them and pick up 3 healthy crisp and let them choose you pick up a few snacks and let them decide which ones from that , and if the snack cupboards a problem turn it into a arts and crafts cupboard with just a few healthy bits
Fab, rant away. It’s so needed at times. Ell I stopped using that mince, it had a weird smell they must use something in the stealing process. If I use supermarket mince Morrison’s all the way!
ELL good for you running that far..Good luck when you run your marathon. The boys are really growing so fast!! I think every kid goes through the fussy eating phase. My grand girl who is 23 still is SO PICKY with food. I don't think I have ever seen her eat potatoes cooked ..no go...lol
For the boys maybe make minced beef shepherds pie deconstructed on their plates.chicken and roasted potatoes to dip in sauce. Fresh veggies to dip. PB and j sandwich. Also try less snacking before meals so they're hungry and less fluids also. Hope this was helpful good luck
Oh bless them, I cannot imagine how hard it is when you have two poorly boys, oh bless poor Fab so funny, El, you are doing amazing on your long runs I feel for you, but the end result is amazing. Think of that medal 🥈 I am so excited for your behind the scenes as I think it will help me ☺️great vlog guys, keep up the great work El you are making it look easy xx
Hi my x husband ran the London marathon three times so I know how far you have to run in training I take my hat off to you as I can’t run up stairs.brilliant m video ell your amazing xxx❤❤❤❤❤
Ell you should get the book deceptively delicious , simple secrets to get your kids to eat good food. there are lots of good recipes for children, its how she got her children to eat good, and you might want to sterilize the kids pacifiers after they are finished with their colds.
I need sickness clean up tips and how to deal with young kids puking up. What do they puke into? Anything? I'm home alone a lot with them and it's such a big fear of mine because I have no idea how I'd deal with it
Here in the US President Trump mentioned Tick Toc will be allowed. I have never watched it but I hear many people depend on it. This vlog made me tired watching it!!! You are such active people. I am 78 and most think I am in my 50’s because I stay very active and I will be looking forward to what you having coming soon about fitness,please include Senior’s!
