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, 2). 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
#MumLife #LouisePentland #MothersMeeting #MummyVlogger
First off, I'm a teacher. I have no children of my own and I absolutely COULD NOT do what you do. 6 hours of children, 5 days a week is more than enough for me. Second, having taught in lots of different areas, I see children from all different types of backgrounds and families and sadly, many of them aren't nearly as cared for or as loved as your lovely girls. I know as grown ups we always focus on what else we could be doing, but trust me, children don't see things that way. On Monday when Darcy goes to school and talks about her weekend, she'll tell her teacher that her amazing mummy dressed her and her sister in cute matching outfits and took them treasure hunting. She'll say that her mum drove her to a birthday party for one of her friends, even though it was a long way away. And at the end of the day, mum still had time and energy to snuggle before bed.
I know it's so easy to focus on mess or the to-do list (teacher-guilt is a thing too!) but when they're older, they'll remember the love, not the state of the kitchen or the garden. They won't even remember that tomorrow. Have a wonderful week, you're doing great.
Thank you for SD. This is the nicest comment and I needed to read that. Thank you for being such a lovely teacher and for taking the time to write that all out for me xxx
@@Louisepentland this is true 🙌 after Christmas of breaking my back making lots of memories and expensive toys my 5 year old told everyone about her baby sisters new climbing frame 😅
Pussy willows is what I think they are called what those flowers you bought in the green vase.
This is such a beautiful comment, wow! ❤️ I agree with it all. Louise, you’re doing a GREAT job! I love your upcycling!!!
Ok I love how she checks with darcy before putting her on camera. Many don’t do that with their kids and insist they’ll do it when they’re older 💕💕
Megan Lynch but she doesn’t know what she is consenting to. It’s a good start though 😀
Doesn’t really make a difference when Darcy doesn’t understand what she’s consenting to though. I get that it would make Louise feel better about using her kids for her content but it’s quite redundant
Cinders considering Louise has been doing this with Darcy since she was very small, this is part of life for her and she knows what she’s consenting to. There’s been times when Darcy has said she doesn’t want to be filmed and she isn’t filmed so I think she’s old enough to know the difference.. regardless of if she does or now anyway, she’s being taught the important of consent anyway
Kathryn Williams 94 I think you’re highlighting the issue here though. Because she’s been filmed and put onto the internet ever since she was a baby, she considers it ‘normal’, but that isn’t normal for the average child. I don’t think a child of any age can be expected to understand the true ramifications for being online her whole life, be it safeguarding or otherwise. I hope this made sense, English is not my first language
To be fair though 90% of kids are online nowadays. Yes it may not be UA-cam but pictures on Instagram or Facebook or twitter when your profile is set to public have the same affect and potential outcome as a UA-cam video.
Louissseee please don't feel guilty about not having a cooking/tidying segment in every single vlog! Yes we love them but we also love your charity shop hauls, hanging out with the girls and Judith etc. I also really love watching you talking about guilt/mental health stuff because it feels so genuine and relatable
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! I don't mind either! I love the mental health things, re-charging with the girls when her batteries are low, the general bumbling along on a cosy homey day, bits with the famalam etc!
"Do you think I'm cool when I say 'partaay'?"
"Not really."
😂
Kids are brutally honest 😂
She's savage isn't she haha xxx
“It’s not a piggy, it’s Auntie Judith!” That absolutely tickled me 😂😂😂
I just could not get over Louise's commentary about the Little Mermaid, while Darcy was blissfully enjoying the 'fairytale' ending. "Yaaaa there's a rainbow so that's fine... Off to a random place she doesn't know... WOO!"
Abbie Ransom they kissed for 24 hours!! 😂
I really like how you ask Darcy beforehand if she wants to be shown on camera. Its just a little thing, but it really shows how much you care about your children, especially in a time where kids being shown on youtube is being questioned morally. Thankyou for always asking for consent!
“I’m trying not to buy things unless I’ve got a specific spac.... ohhh hello” 😂 story of my life Louise! Xx
"That's not even the woooordsss muuuum"
Darcy calling you out made me laugh so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Louise, its so funny - when you said: do you know that energetic people; thats not me. Crazy how you appear the total opposite to me - absolute boss woman.
I guess thats the best prove how people can appear to others online but actually feel so much different... And also it may perfectly show how we underate ourselves! from a objectiv perspect you, and most of us, do so well. xx
Thanks Johanna
I really love that you ask Darcy if she wants to be filmed and included in the vlogs. I do feel sorry for the children of bloggers and vloggers and their privacy
OMG Louise i was in stitches at you describing the little mermaid movie. It was absolutely hilarious. I need you in my house as your sense of humour is just priceless. xx
Oh yes and Louise.....you are absolutely allowed to be exhausted. You have a very hectic on the go life and you manage to put in lots of mummy time, keep your home, be a good partner, attend events, write books, etc etc.... OMG you are definitely allowed chill days. Do not be hard on yourself. Your amazing xx
Oh my wow pearly has gotten so big! Blows my mind when I tune back in and people's kids have (inevitably) grown lol
Blows my mind that my own daughter is now 17months old 😮
Louise you're SUCH a breath of fresh air and this video is exactly what I needed, I've been going going going all week to the point everything seemed to be on fast forward until I stopped and had a breather with this vlog. Loved how pearl was having a giggle and then all of a sudden NO STOP IT. sometimes it just b like that.
"I am naturally a sloth!" Girl I have never felt more connected to you than in that moment lol
This wasn’t a low key day Louise you packed in loads!! You’d done all sorts and then came on and said it was 12.30. I thought wow!!! x
On my sloth days I set a 10 minute timer do what I can and once timer runs out that’s me done for the day. Louise we all get that guilt hun but we watch your vlogs for whatever you want to share, don’t put pressure on yourself. We all have sloth days too 😉 even the “super mums” who like to pretend they don’t 😂
💖
Fantastic tip to set a timer, and love the 'sloth day' concept!! I don't even have kids but sometimes need a chillout day when work is tiring and getting on top of me - think I'll try the timer for those kinds of days!
Gina Hill haha that’s cute Gina. If my kids tell me to hurry up I say “the more you rush the sloth the slower I go” 😂
Harriet Palmann I think we all need that chill out day parent or not because life gets so hectic we forget about our needs. Good luck with it Harriet. Would love to know how you get on. Laura x
"I love this fabric" "BAE" I almost jumped, I love your edit haha!
I want to echo what others have already said: You're doing enough and should not feel guilty for a "sloth day!" Your sloth day was still 10x more productive than one of my sloth days, and I'm 26! This vlog made me feel cozy and relaxed after a somewhat stressful week and feeling out of place in a new home. So thank you for continuing to share your life, even when you feel it's not "perfect" by the unattainable standards of today.
17.57 - 18.11
That is the face of a mum who is trying to ignore a tantrum 🤣
I have no kids and I'm 23 years old and I'm damn tired Louise. You're allowed to be I pinky promise.
That's why we love you! Cause you keep it real, I'm tired on days where I refuse to cook and just do take out and some days I'm cooking cleaning and doing it all. I feel guilty daily us moms will never get rid of the guilt. You are so loving and sweet and seem like so much fun and your girls will remember that! Not a tidy kitchen ☘😊☘ ps. Loved the vlog!!!!
I cant cope with pearls little run with the cat toy😍😍😍😍
Love seeing charity shops xxx
I always watch these Sunday night in New Zealand, perfect way to relax with a face mask 😇
Me tooooo 🙌🙌
Same!!
"I'm naturally a sloth" this cracked me up!! I am sloth-ing with you Louise
Watching your videos has always been such a comfort to me- you are such a wonderful woman Louise, keep doing you- what lucky girls you have having you as a Mum x
We love cooking and tidying. But we love love the charity shops.
Darcy correcting you about You’re Welcome to the tune has me cry laughing!!! She is the perfect blend of sarcastic and savage! Absolute queen!!
Louise your comments on the little mermaid Made me laugh so much, I watched this with my daughter this weekend who is pearls age. I remember it being one of my favourite Disney films but watching it as an adult and a mother of a daughter gives you a completely different perspective. Still a cute film with mermaids in 😂🧜♀️
Louise- I look forward to every single upload, no matter what the content, and have for many, many years as an oldie but goldie
I just wanted to say thank you for being so real! I feel like I see a lot of myself in you, you need quiet time to renergise, you feel guilty a lot about similar things and you're just trying to do your best. It's so refreshing to have someone so relatable and honest. I really enjoyed this vlog because of this. Keep doing what you're doing, you're an amazing mum! ❤️
HAHA Pearl is so funny, first she suddenly turns annoyed saying "stop it" and then she calls Judith piggy ahahaahahahahah
Hi Louise, I think if you are tired your mind just caves in and that's why you feel you're not putting enough in your vlogs and have mum guilt. I am glad you are not making your home perfect, makes me feel like I don't have to put pressure on myself. I think you had a very busy day personally! They are your vlogs so put in them what you want to! I really enjoyed watching and always do. Please ignore any ridiculous comments to your vlog today xxx
Don't feel guilty about not doing a cooking or cleaning section. I honestly just like those sections because I don't want to do the cooking and cleaning in my own house 😂.
We love the vlogs no matter what's in it you could spend the entire day on the couch and we would still watch and love it because it's you we love!!x
This was the most relaxing way to spend my Sunday evening before school starts for the year tomorrow! Thank you so much Louise for making these beautiful vlogs, I love to see all the second-hand shops. x
I can't tell you how much I love the intro to this vlog! A relaxed vlog is exactly what we need this time of year
Louise, I love that you buy from charity shops as well as donating to them. It doesn't work if people only donate but don't buy, it creates a sort of two-tier system!
Louise, Louise, Louise. In previous videos you thought laundry was boring and apologized. We all said we loved the laundry segment. You thought your cooking wasn't good and apologized. We all said we enjoy watching it. You apologized that your house was a mess. We all said our houses were messy, too. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO LAUNDRY OR COOK OR CLEAN, WE PROBABLY UNDERSTAND THAT, TOO!!! Stop pressuring yourself! Just because we enjoy watching it doesn't mean we EXPECT it. Relax, Mama! You're doing a good job! And us oldies but goldies are here for whatever you're putting out. 😂❤️
Side note: I'm from the US and we spell it "apologized". I realise it's "apologised" in the UK. The same as our way is spelled with a "zee" instead of a "zed". 😜
These vlogs always make me so happy :) Please don't feel guilty, anyone can see you are the most caring Mum who does so much for her little ones xx
I'm glad you admitted that sometimes you just can't be bothered to tidy up. When I see UA-camrs like yourself with loads of energy I feel bad so it's always nice to know we're all the same!
Not a mum but a carer for my mother! And yes there are times I let things slide usually because of dodgy knee. I am slowly going through the house now and winning, as the last 18 months I've been on crutches etc with knee. We have to be our own best friend: if our friend said 'oh its terrible I haven't done this...' we would tell them not to worry; just relax!. Be kind to yourself and well as everyone else.
My flat is such a tip at the moment but I honestly just can't be bothered even though I really enjoy a clean and tidy place. I'm just worn out and I have a cold. It's not going to change the world if I do it now or next week 🙈 it's fine!! You're wonderful !
I’m sure those are called Pussy willow. I can’t believe how much Pearl has grown up so quickly!
Emma Moran yes! Scrolled until I found someone else who said this! They are pussy willows
As a mom, we all go through what you are experiencing once in awhile! Love you.
Stop apologizing! We all still loved the weekly even if you felt you missed a segment! 💖
Thank you for the loveliness 🤗
I really enjoyed this video. I've been feeling sorta down...or just not energetic lately. But this video gave me a push to go do a few things.
I really enjoyed your Charity shopping. I wish we had good stores like that here in America. Those teapots were amazing! I would have bought them all...to decorate for Spring/Easter.
Your little family is so sweet. You are very blessed. I just wanted to say, I really enjoy your videos. You are a ray of sunshine. 💜
I’ve had a rubbish week feeling ill! I’m going on 6 months pregnant and exhausted. This video was a moment of bliss in my week. I can just relax and unwind and catch up with my friend Louise x
The older I get the more I'm realizing I really really love all things springtime and Easter. My birthday is in May and from then on it's all new beginnings and new life blooming and sun shining more and more. And I just adore the decor. I used to kinda stifle that, feeling like it wasn't very "cool" what w all the floral and pastels and little animals. But I just don't care anymore, I looove ittt lol
Oh Louise this vlog was so much needed. I felt a bit overwhelmed with everything and it’s Monday morning and I just felt so stressed and sad that the weekend is over and then I decided to have a coffee first and watch your vlog with it and now I feel so much calmer and happier and like I’m capable to tackle this week.
Love ya ❤️
Such a cozy video, and so lovely to see your sweet auntie Judith. I love when you take us along to the charity shops, I love thrift shopping as well. The girls matching outfits are adorable 💖
I'm feeling super sick and watching this as it's comforting
5:57 Where I'm from we call those white fluffy flower things "weidenkätzchen" which means willow-kittens 😊 Always thought that was so cute!
love sunday mornings with your vlogs!
Mond that is cute!! we call them Pussy willows here lol 😂 so sorry it’s NSFW lol 😆
In the northeast of the US we call them pussy willows. According to wikipedia the term comes from a way to describe the fuzzy grey/white catkins (buds) on willow and sallow (genus Salix) trees that form in early spring before they flower.
Yes, pussywillows in the US. I have a paint color called Pussywillow and I smirk every time I order more. 😏
No Beauty Guru highly relatable!
No Beauty Guru haha I would too. Please tell me you guys have seen the movie serial mom and the part where she says pussywillows lmao 😂
Louise don’t feel guilty your a mum with two beautiful energetic girls I love watching your videos cause your so real and u don’t tidy up or clean before you vlog ur so real there is nothing wrong it’s your home you have it how you want u do u ur amazing mum and amazing person ❤️❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed the Disney vlog 😊 I need a trip to the Range for those artificial flowers 💐
I love these videos whilst cleaning my uni room! Keep on doing what you're doing Louise! Lazy Sunday's are the best Sunday's!
I get major productivity guilt too! I'm a uni student so I always feel like if I'm not working or writing essays I'm being useless, but the most important thing you can do is take a break. Not having a tidy house or doing some cooking comes second to you feeling your best, especially when you have two little ones to look after. Its taken me a long time to realise that there is next to nothing that comes above being well-rested and enjoying simple family time like watching the little mermaid! xx
I really love your variety of videos but in all honesty these chilled, more homey days are definitely my favourite!! Hope you are well and have a fabulous week next week. Much love xx
I really needed this video today!! Had anxiety all night last night and woke up feeling miserable😩thank you louise!!❤️❤️
I just like seeing you pottering around honestly, don’t feel guilty!
The pure joy when you spotted the half moon table in Homesense cracked me up! Best of luck finding a white one, too bad that one didn't work out.
That pink shell chair was made in my dreams I swear 😍 once we've moved out my child's nursery is going to be under the sea themed and I want a pink shell chair with a little white circular cushion like a pearl 🥰
I love these chilled out vlogs, please don’t apologise. I love seeing the normal day to day stuff xx
You’re voice is soooooo soothing ❤️
Hi Louise,
I'm 19, dont have any children yet but want to be a mum at some point. Please dont ever feel guilty about your house, whatever the state. A house isn't a home if its perfect, the joy of living is to be able to look at mess and say, its okay becuaee the mess created becomes memories, pearl playing with her toys is bound to make mess, but shes having the time of her life. and please dont feel like you have to have any specific segments. your vlogs are what make me calm and destress before the dreaded monday of work and i know that me a a lot of your audience just like to watch you and your style of vlogging. and i dont want to say we dont care 😅 but we enjoy your videos no matter the content because youre a lovely homey person that does a lot of good in others lives. you always call us good eggs, but youre also a good egg so dont feel guilty, because you will forever be a good egg 😊 hope that helped and thankyou for always being something to aspire to 💕
I have no kids, I work part time, I wake up around 1pm (on a good day 😂) and spend most of my time in my pj's on the sofa. Hope this makes you feel less guilty ❤
I don't even have any children and I feel dead at the end of most days. I am so inspired by how much you accomplish while also being a great mom!
I live in a small town and we have 10 Charity shops on the main shopping road. I love browsing in them and find so many unique items.
I bloody LOVED this vlog. It's like a cosy old school homely weekly 💫❤️
I love the range can’t believe you was a range virgin 😂 although I only go for the craft section.
Xx
After your video at the charity shop the other day I loved the "Uh, is that half-moon table" hahaha.
Dont feel guilty for having a day of ‘getting by’, i don’t anymore. We are all blagging this parent thing, getting by is a good day in my book 😘😘😘
Don't feel guilty at all , no one is perfect, we don't watch these vlogs to see how tidy your house is we watch because it's a family feel and it's lovely, I feel like I should tidy my room more but it's just making the effort at times , it's human nature ! We all do it 💜
I'm sure we're all sitting here with untidy living rooms and dishes unwashed and meals uncooked because we're tired, or just can't be bothered right now. And that's ok, nothing bad will happen if we don't, that's just how life is sometimes. Other days you'll feel like the energiser bunny and want to tidy and cook and do all the things. It comes and goes in waves, no point in pushing yourself if you don't feel like doing it :) Also at 5:57 I've always called these pussy willows :)
A Sunday without Louise, is no Sunday 💋
That up cycled basket looks lovely in rose gold 😍
First time I've heard pearl speak properly Louise and it's lovely to hear her talk
Louiseeee give yourself a break!! I love your videos for this exact reason because it’s real life and it’s so nice to watch :) just do what u want to do! (Or don’t want to)!
I loved watching Pearl play with the ice cream station, I would have loooved that when I was little xx
You're doing great. And you're doing what you can for your family and children. Even though you are a mother, you're still allowed to feel human and express how you feel, whether that be to all of us, Judith, Esther, Liam, or whomever else.
You're doing great, and the fun part of the weekly is that it's a calming video where we get to hang out with you. Your oldies, but goldies are still gonna be here, regardless if you tidy your kitchen or hang out with your friends. That's just the way life it. It's ups, downs, and you have chosen to share it with us. We enjoy it because we enjoy you. :)
I know it's hard to not be hard on yourself because you're a perfectionist of trying to improve your content, but it's alright to be a human and not just a creative robot. We love and appreciate you either way.
And someone at work yesterday starting singing, "Guess who's back?! Back again!" And I only knew that reference because of you, not the Eminem song. lol
Loved this! I properly laughed out loud so much! 🤣🤣🤣 “Is that a half moon table? Sweet mercy of God I think it is!”
I think auntie Judith needs her own socials, she’s my fav ❤️😄
Also darcy is such a little sass queen now and I love it
My favourite way to start a Sunday, I feel so homey now and ready to put things in baskets 💖
I am addicted to DFB Guide videos! Darcy has good taste 😉
I’m with u Louise! I feel guilty for the same reason u do. Ur not alone ❤️
Loving your UA-cam site! It brings me back to my years as a mother!
Heyy, I love you're weekly's soo much I always find myself smiling throughout the video without even knowing it hahahahahaha :))
You’re so lovely. You always make me feel better. 🙏🏽❤️
@30:42 “bae” I DIED wow that was so funny to me I don’t know why but I’ve gone back and watched that about 10 times 🤣
We love you no matter what type of day youre having 😘🥰💖
Yes !! So relatable When You were talking about not always Everyday Having the Desire to be cleaning the House 100% N just feeling kind of over it lol
Enjoying the charity shop bits! Gives me inspiration for the next time I get to go to one.
I always feel all the Mum guilt for all the things you mentioned... You're not alone 💗
When I am asked by my children to tell a story, I often tell them Disney tales so that I don’t need to make anything up. When I tell them about the Little Mermaid, I describe it in the EXACT same way. It’s ludicrous for her to leave everything behind for a boy she had never spoken to when she made her decision. I deeply enjoyed you and Darcy’s commentary on that part.
Love this style of video! You did a great job pushing on through the tiredness! You go girl!
the range at christmas is the best!!!!!!! the christmas decorations are always so cute and really cheap too!
I totally feel you about naturally being a sloth - I am too & it’s so tough sometimes as a Mum because kids always have energy 🤪😩 x
Well done Darcy my phrase of the month is BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE BAD AT SOMETHING NEW trying is what counts 🥰❤️❤️👍
