- Things took a turn I wasn't expecting, I'm nervous to include it but I had to stand up for what I felt was right for children. Oofff, a toughie.

About Me:
Hi, I'm Louise! I started this channel in 2009 after readers of my blog (also called Sprinkle of Glitter) suggested I give UA-cam a try. I was instantly hooked and have found my internet playground on here. I make videos about beauty & fashion, positive living, motherhood, lifestyle and occasionally have special guests (friends, kittens or my sweet Daughters Darcy, 8 and Pearl, 1). Hit the subscribe button to never miss a video again!
I try to upload every Wednesday evening and Sunday at 9am!
I chat every day on my other social media (linked above) so do come and say hi!
Big hugs,
Louise xxx

I was expecting you to ask Chloe what her new year resolution is! 😂 (Showing I’m an oldie but goldie there 🙈) xx
I'm impressed! I'll ask her next time! xxx
Me too!!
Yes!!!
Same here!!
Yes!
Why don't you and Judith do a whole video of you and her cooking something yummy together? Maybe even something sweet and something savory?🧡
SUCH a great idea! xxx
Would love to watch this!
Yes yes YESSS!!!
The kind of content I signed up for!
i would love to see that! :D
The way pearl shouted “daddy!” With a huge grin and massive cuddle when she see Liam. Oh my heart 🥺🥰
Think it’s a very powerful person who’s overcome childhood trauma and grown to be a very strong woman and loving momma who would confront that specimen at the pool, and I think you should be applauded for it.
What you did during the swimming lesson was right Louise. I work as a Nursery Nurse and it is actually everyone's responsibility in public to safeguard children hence why some children are failed by certain services as these things are often overlooked so it was definitely the right thing to do. Xxx
I work in child services and what she did was NOT right. When dealing with a nacissistic parent the last thing you should do - for the safety of the child - is confront someone who may have psychopathic tendencies. She put that child's safety in jeopardy.
Lou you did what’s best in my personal opinion!! Xoxo 💋 you are a gem to the world and I am absolutely proud of you for being a brave human and speaking up for someone who cannot properly defend themselves.
DO NOT let those with opposing opinions to
get you down and make you overthink your courageous actions. You are a lovely woman who just does not want history to repeat itself. Much love from Monica in 🇺🇸 ♥️
Pineapplex2 I also work in child services and perceive what she did to be correct, she wasn’t intimidating or shouting, we are taught that it is everyone’s responsibility to safeguard children, she shouldn’t have ignored the perceived injustice?
Pineapplex2 also you can’t just diagnose him as a narcissist haha
Sarah_Elizabeth psychopathy is I really mental belt problem though, when I was doing criminology we had a speaker on it, it was really o
Pearl running over to Liam and hugging him was the cutest thing🥺❤️
I blooming loved this vlog...when you gave Pearly a snack and asked her to say thankyou and she just walked off. They way your camera just stayed there aimed at the empty space was hilarious 😂🤣😂🤣 xx
Ahaha thanks bae xxx
Louise, I work in the safeguarding world and I absolutely agree with you, that situation must have been terrifying for the child. I agree with if that's happening in public what is happening in private? I would ask to speak to the instructor and suggest that she maybe monitors the situation and the child going forward. And report anything as relevant. Any disclosure/reporting is confidential.
You're a great mum and person! You'd have been commended if you were on that show x
31:42 louise! you can do a weekly or monthly cooking series with judith! it would be a win win situation for both of you :D judith could teach you and you can film it and boom :D you can get matching aprons too 👀
I'd love this so much!
I came here to say this too!! (not the matching aprons though, but that would be amazing) ✨
Please do it!! 🤞💖
Yessss!!!
I have been that child and I cannot explain how much I wish someone had done that for me as a child. I agree completely that if he’s like that in public he’s likely worse behind close doors and if he is making you and your child in anyway uncomfortable then you had every right and reason to say something.
Every child deserves to be defended, a good parent will appreciate someone watching out for their child. You were brave and kind, well done.
It was really brave if you to say something about the situation I wish more people would because he may not have realised how he was being and a stranger pointing it out could have made him realise xx
I'm 18 and I'm sat here open-mouthed and wide-eyed watching all the footage from the soft play I would've LOVED that as a kid, I've never seen a soft play like it!
I'm in hysterics in my hospital bed! "I needed something else in it though"
"what flavour?"
"yea"
and then the silence!!!
I'd have gone sick at him personally. You seem like you were very polite and I don't think I could have kept my distaste to myself. There are other children around, including your own, and his behaviour makes other people feel a certain way, not just his child.
There is a difference between judgment and sticking up for what's right. By doing nothing you allow evil to continue its better to stand up for whats right.
Your face when you were going down the slide, “quite fast” 😂😂
Loved Liam’s face when you asked about your cooking....😂😂
“Cooking food that my children wont eat, yeah” WORD!
True story 😄
So refreshing to see a woman cooking like a normal woman cooking. Always a breath of fresh air, Louise. A lovely lovely woman living her life. I hope you feel happy in the knowledge that when you look back on all of this you won't think about unflattering angles but how wonderful those moments were and what a great idea it was to capture them all.
I swear every time you show the hub you show something new that I’ve not seen before. It looks fab!
well done for speaking up louise, at least you’ll never regret not saying anything. i’m a teacher and we need to be the voice for vulnerable children.
Theres a HUGE difference between safeguarding and interfering. Thank you!
Thank you for helping that boy! I’m training to be a primary teacher and I think it’s been said but it’s everyone’s duty to safeguard. Although it was horrid for you you could’ve been the highlight of that boys day and even you saying soemthing could be the start of him knowing something isn’t right. We can only judge in what we see 💜💜
Was just watching an old Weekly when this popped up, yay! Perfect background video for essay writing ❤️
EDIT: also I think you were absolutely right to do what you did, it was in public and if Darcy said that she was uncomfortable then imagine how the poor child must have felt; you’re absolutely right to say something as a parent to your daughter & someone just generally looking out for other children. And as Liam said, if he was intimidating you and not having a problem with it then who knows what the child may have been feeling. Props to you for having the courage to say something x
Always it is the right thing to stand up to bullying especially for children who can't stand up for themselves. It sickens me that you had to go through that but GOOD ON YOU!!!!!!!!'
For anyone who is interested, I was in Peter Jones the other day and they have a whole kitchen set that matches these pans! Toaster, kettle, knives, more pans! Also because it's Peter Jones they were super discounted! Happy shopping :p
so proud of you for standing up for that boy! and you did it in such a respectful way, the mans reaction 100% reflects his character not yours 👏🏻 you honestly inspire me to be braver too even if it's uncomfortable
I'm very proud of you for standing up for that boy. (I hope that doesn't sound condescending - lol) If I were in your position I'd want someone to tell me it was right, too, and so I'm adding to all the other comments and saying you did good. :)
Oh Louise dont be embarrassed about your cooking! It breaks my heart to see people feel bad about developing a skill just because they arent a professional from the start! Be proud of yourself for doing anything at all in the kitchen, I think it's amazing that you're experimenting with recipes like this I'm so impressed!😊😊
Louise the cooking segment might be the best thing you’ve ever done. I LOVE it!!
Ahaha really? I can do more slightly crap cooking if you like?! xxx
I’m starting the Louise Pentland lip challenge! She’s just got the most beautiful lips and every lip colour suits her😩❤️
I would love to watch videos where Auntie Judith teaches you to cook things. 🤗💗
Just wanted to say you did the right thing for that boy, the swimming club or centre should have a safeguarding person and if you carry on being concerned you can speak to them for advice/ share your concerns and they should have a policy on how they follow this up.
louise you are so strong for standing up for that child. children need a voice and i can only imagine how you would have wished someone had that voice for you as a child when you felt helpless, scared and intimated. i am a new mom (to a 2 month old baby) and your strength as a woman is so admirable. trust your gut always. thank you for sharing.
Pearls little pigtails in pink bows😍😍 she's too cute
“The gratitude I get from my children is breathtaking” haha SAME! I really just felt that completely! My kids are the same... also the story about the kid at the swimming pool made me cry you were completely right!
I really do just love your content Louise :) I'm only 20 and still feel like I can relate to you so well! Thank you for being so open about your life on the Internet. Lots of people don't understand how wonderful it is to be able to feel connected to someone you've never even met. You are one fabulous lady :)
I look forward to the Weekly's every Sunday and am super stoked about the new cooking portion (don't change the jingle, it was perfect the way it was heheh)!! Sending love from Canada xxx
Wait, we need to know if Chloe has a new year's resolution this year! I think it was two years ago she decided to make her bed every morning!? I actually copied her resolution last year and it was really nice to come home to a semi-decent made up bed every evening (even when the rest of the room was an absolute tip). x
And last year was not eating meat? I think? She wanted to be vegetarian? I can remember her cringe when Louise would as “The Question!” 😂🤣 when she’d break it ...because it wasn’t just Louise she was answering, it was all louise’s followers 🤣🤪 No pressure...
I started making my bed since late August of 2018 when we moved into a new suite that’s fully furnished and the bed was so nice. Had to try to keep it that way. Sometimes it’s not done, but 98% of the time it is.
I love your bravery in this video. So inspiring. From letting messes be in the background to cooking even when you're not fully confident, and especially standing up for the boy. Thank you for being authentic. I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend when I watch this ❤😘
You also showed that little boy that he’s not alone and that there are safe spaces for him. ❤️ you’ve encouraged me to do the same if I see something.
Everyone needs an auntie Judith, she seems like such a lovely woman 😭
also i love that you're sharing the cooking again! i just love it :D and am i the only one who doesn't know what bottom drawer means?
Ahh, so it's from the olden days when girls would collect home items in the bottom drawer of their dresser, ready for when they married and set up home with their husbands. So my grandma gave me a silver cutlery set from Viners for my 'bottom drawer'
We called it a hope chest here in Canada
Urska Erzen We call it a Hope Chest in America, like our Northern neighbors in Canada.
Always watch Louise when I’ve had a bad day, her videos never fail to cheer me up!
you are a hero to that child !! 33:33
Louise love watching how positive you are with your life. My kids are grown and I wish I had people like you to watch when I was raising them. Just be you because you are a fine woman. Best wishes
Oh my days. The cooking segment is my new fave. Just the 'SAUTE!' gestures had me creasing 😂 you're a good egg xx
Well done Louise I wish someone had stood up for me when i was little . Hope pearl has a fabby birthday 🎂 x
Louise you 100% did the right thing. I think it is important to stand up for kids / animals who don’t have the voice to stand up for themselves. The fact that he went off at you continuously after makes me really worried about how he treats his child. I’m so sorry that happened to you but thank you so much for standing up for his son. ❤️
I really needed this reminder because I have come to the point of shouting at my toddler in public because he is at that cheeky stage and I am constantly stressed out with juggling grocery shopping and keeping an eye on him at all times, and once in a while I get a reminder like this and it really makes a difference...
A 46 minute vlog is JUST what I need! YESSSSSSSSS xxxx
Great to go online and see new vid! Just what I needed today ! Had bad day at counselling,, then had to make an appointment at vet for my doggie and only appointment was at my daughters swim lessons - so had to listen to one daughter have a meltdown 🤪😬 other daughter was so sweet and understanding! So just sat after coming home n finished their homework ti have a cuppa and this sweet angel came up !!! Thank you my sweet louise xxxx
Sounds like you've had quite a day! Well done for juggling it all and making it all happen. A sit down and cup of tea are VERY well deserved I'd say! xxx
You did the right thing Louise. I was that child (well right up to the end of my teenage years really) and I hoped a person like you would have come along and helped me. I want to say thank you to you on that little boys behalf for doing what you did, we need more people in the world like you xxx
Since you're just starting at cooking I highly recommend getting a crockpot if you don't already (I think that's a brand name but it's a slow cooker). They're amazing you just throw everything in in the morning, turn it on low, and then at the end of the day you have a delicious meal. You can make all kinds of things in it too.
This was a really nice snapshot of life
Your vlogs never fail to put me in a calmer, better mood when I desperately need it!
You’re such a good mum💜
I found the fact that you’re going to be less worried about how you or look or seem really inspiring. I try and do this in my videos but when editing sometimes, as I’m sure everyone can, you find yourself worrying a bit. So this is really inspiring! X love your videos!
I'm still hugely worrying but I'm FORCING myself to do it until I just stop worrying. We are who we are and that's ok yanno? xxx
Yeah 100%, we’re all amazing in our own way xxx
There’s nothing wrong with what you did, it shows a lot of courage and so happy you spoke about it because it reminds people that everyone has to sometimes go out of their comfort zone for the greater good. Your vlogs just make me smile and thank you
You're are beatiful soul Louise, thank you for showing that little boy that it's not ok to be treated that way. I myself have done something similar and its very daunting but you did the right thing.
I think you are an incredibly brave and inspiring woman. Your daughters are so lucky to have you as a mother and I hope, when I am a mother myself, I am half as much of a mother as you are. Truly truly inspiring and thoughtful.
This has me in tears @Louise Pentland xxx you definitely did the right thing, it’ll definitely make him step back and think. That’s so true about what they’re like behind closed doors. My nana once stopped a lady in the town centre and shouted at her because she slapped her young daughter really hard across the face, we were in tears and everyone else just ignored it and carried on walking by. So so terrible, you definitely did the right thing xxx
consider the man's intimidating reaction when you called him out with his behaviour, I don't think that's the behaviour of someone who is 'just having a bad day'.
'Cooking food that my children won't eat' has been my motto for the last 23 years so just to let you know... it never changes :D also I find drinking the box of wine makes me a better cook so there's a tip. I was also waiting for the new years resolution question lol.
That soft play is AMAZING! We need something like that where I live. My kids would love it!
I think saying something was good, because even if he is calm and patient most of the time, chewing out your kid like that in public is humiliating for that child. I think to lecture or shout at your child in private is one thing, but in front of other people it would be so embarrassing
I don't have kids but I think that too. Plus it just makes you look like a monster and makes the kid feel absolutely awful.
Your kitchen looks normal to me. I didn’t even notice the background until you mentioned it. Also I am so for this segment!!!
That lovely tinkling intro tho🥰 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 (secretly wishes that played every time I stepped outside lol)
Even though my limit is french toast when it comes to cooking, I still enjoy seeing other people cook. Love the vlogs 😁
Hi beautiful! For most of us lay people, we don't even notice angles and lighting and what not. So when I watch your videos, especially your vlogs, I feel like I'm there with you in person! Just like if you had someone come over, you wouldn't sit them in a place where the lighting and angles are perfect! I like your videos because they don't feel overproduced (that's a compliment not a diss). It's homey and relaxing and REAL life! Love your videos! Happy new year to you and the fam! XOXO
I love this video SO MUCH it has everything!!!!!! Pearlie content, cooking, chatting, a happy free Louise!! It’s perfect 🌞
I'm such a vlog re-watcher and I think this is one I will re-watch often! You're amazing! ❤️
It was really brave of you Louise to speak out, I wish more people would do it. I found myself in a situation at a family event not that long ago and spoke out myself. Some of my family are now not speaking to me and some have praised me. I don’t regret it at all and I think if I hadn’t of said anything that would of got to me a whole lot more. 💕
CHLOE!!!!!! Oh my gosh what is her new years resolution and did she do good with her one form last year? I believe it was eating less meat? Oldie but goldie just enjoying another video from my favorite UA-cam friend :) also don't apologize for sticking up for kids! If you feel like you needed to say something, than you needed to say something! I have been there and it's not the best situation to be in, but at the end of the day you did what you felt was right and that's all that matters!!!
I’m sorry but that cooking segment might just be one of the best things I’ve ever watched!! 😂 I love how honest and normal you are Louise!
Absolutely loved watching this. So real, so me, so hilarious and so brave, well done! You are amazing.
Louise thank you for having the courage to say something. I am a therapist in the US and those type of poor kiddos come to my office or they come to me as adults. There is nothing more difficult than dealing with parents that want to point the finger at their kids or everyone else for their problems.
You definitely did the right thing by saying something! If someone had have stood up for me as a child I would have appreciated it so much! If they’re doing things like that in public, they’re most likely much much worse behind closed doors.
I LOVE THE COOKING SECTION!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I cant cook at all! Like I have sandwiches for dinner if no one else cooks! I’m 27!! I’m learning so much and love this!!! More more more 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
you did the right thing!!!!
always remember you are an inspiration, and I wish more people, parents were like you!
i really enjoyed this video! as a single parent i don’t see it as ‘mess’ i see it as life as a parent and it’s so refreshing! 💕
Lou, you did the right thing, safeguarding is so important, right or wrong, you don't act that way in public. I've caught a few parents doing that and I've given them such disproving looks that they shut up! You're an angel. Love the cooking 'portion' I'd love to come and cook up a storm for you! Lol. Much love x
Yay loved this weekly as always!! Loving that you're "caring less" in the sense of trying to make things look perfect as honestly I wouldn't have even noticed the stuff in the kitchen if you hadn't pointed it out! So you're definitely saving yourself time rather than spending time cleaning the background to keep the minority of people that would comment on it happy! Also loveee how you're making a proper effort to get into cooking more and it's so nice sharing the journey with you, that alongside sharing your daily to-do lists not only satisfies my nosiness but also makes me motivated to have productive days too if I feel like I'm doing it with you, so thank you!! So awful to hear about the swimming situation but I 100% agree with what everyone said, I could empathise so much with your reaction and conflicting thoughts because I get exactly the same when I've been in uncomfortable situations and just having a million thoughts at once so I hope you're feeling better about it now. Something really heartwarming though after that segment was how you went down to your beautiful family where there is so much love and happiness, and it made me feel super proud of you and excited to have a family of my own one day, an environment full of pure love for each other that you can feel safe in after being in situations like that! Lots of love xxx
I live in Oxfordshire and yet seriously considering visiting the hub so my child can experience what looks like the most glorious soft play ever
That soft play is honestly beautiful ❤️ I want to be a child again 😭
This was a great vlog! Pearlie is so cute! Love hearing all her talking. And your new cooking segment...loved it! I can't wait for more! What you did at the swimming lesson...good job. I wish more people stood up for kids. 💜
"do you want one of these?"
"Oh that's a yes"
*Hands snack*
"Say thank you"
Pearl ignores mum, takes snack and runs
Pearl is my kind of gal 😂, snacks before chats 💞
If these vlogs ever stop I might have a breakdown ✨
Hannah I want a T shirt that says “snacks before chats” now
Definitely think you did the right thing, as a kid the few times other adults challenged my mothers behaviour was really affirming to me and meant that I still had some trust in other adults growing up even if I couldn’t trust my mother. I think it was really brave of you to say something as well, especially because of your history, because seeing that happen to another child can really bring you back to when it was happening to you and make it so difficult to say something so well done and thank you for standing up for that kid ❤️ also the pasta with Philadelphia is one of my favourite meals! So quick and easy and delicious!
I think you have a kind heart and I think that it is beautiful to have moments of sympathy like these that stem from awful things we went through in life. Maybe nothing will ever make us feel like going through those things was "worth it," but in this one moment perhaps you were able to make a difference in that little boy's life and in his parent, all because you could see yourself in the little boy's shoes.
You may not see this comment as I know I’m a day late , but honestly Louise thank you for being so real! You’re so inspiring and I can’t wait to be a Mum like you. So real, so honest, so naturally beautiful and selfless . And I most definitely signed up for satisfying avocado shots ! xx
Oh what a lovely treat on a cold and rainy monday evening
These vlogs always provide such a nostalgic escape for me whisky being at uni and away from home it's nice to have these to snuggle down with after an intense day!! ❤️
Very brave of you! It’s uncomfortable to correct another parent but if it feels wrong then it probably is, even if he didn’t realize it. But now he does! If I were doing something to make my child feel intimidated I would be appreciative if someone put me in check and brought me to their perspective. Praying that was the case and not an ongoing matter 🙏🏻❤️ Proud mommy moment for sure!
Toddler village kitchen is better equipped than mine!
Haha I know right!!! xxx
Love these vlogs, you are a wonderful mum and you absolutely did the right thing at the pool ❤️
Hi Louise ! I'm absolutely loving your intro - honest cute time lapse ! How are you? Also , any tips on improving happiness / I'm stressed with school and want to know how I can become more happy when I'm at home after the school day xx . Thank you for reading xx
Find joy in all the little things. Once you have an attitude of gratitude, life feels much better
Louise Pentland , thank you so much ! I'll definitely give that a try from now on xxxxxxxxx also hope you're all ok ☺️
I've been really really enjoying your podcasts :) I've been binge-listening to them at work! 😊
Happy birthday to Pearl (and me) tomorrow! ❤️
I’m so proud of you for standing up to that parent! Xxx
What you did was the right thing to do. You are, first and foremost, a wonderful Mom and, we Moms have a gut instinct. I have done the same ... and I would do it again.
