About Me:
Hi, I'm Louise! I started this channel in 2010 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, 9 and Pearl, 3).

Oh haaaii!! In the video I've said World Book Day in March 21st. Ever so sorry, it is MARCH 4TH 2021! Pinning this so you can see! You can tell I'm a frazzled mama can't you! xxxx
It’s this Thursday what is Darcey dressing up as? Or are the school not doing dressing up this year? Didn’t she dress up as coco Chanel once!? X
😀
@@aboveitmama2052 schools aren't back to dress up this year 😞
@@katrina28061 thought they may do it over zoom 😂 the teachers are in the school I’m placed at x
One of my favorite things to do with my oldest now that we don’t read together at night, is to pick a chapter book together that we will both read separately. It’s like reading a book together and we can talk about it. Also not much commitment or effort for me because it’s a much quicker read for me than it is for them.
Does anyone else who used to watch Louise's vlogs when she was pregnant with Darcy just feel so proud of her? You're raising such beautiful children and it's been an absolute delight seeing how far you've all come. Darcy is a whole child now and Pearl is talking in complete sentences! So proud of you. Keep going - you're doing really well!
When Darcy says "she's such a funny mummy" - my heart can't take it 😍
the sweetestthing ever
I know! I thought I’d love my son to say that about me
@@LauraGardnerYoga same with my daughter, I hope she thinks that as opposed to "she's such a shouty/grumpy mummy" 😅
i came to the comments to see if anyone else had noticed, what a sweet girl!
When your child politely tells you they hated your meal lol
In my opinion, your homey vlogs are so much more honest than the ones where the person just goes all day. I don’t think what’s what people really do all day every day. I know I don’t, maybe we are the odd ones out but I don’t think so. Thank you for keeping it real if you will!!! 💕💕
Education student here: children who are read to every day before starting school have an average of one million more words in their vocabulary than those who are not read to! Reading to children is so important.
I dont have children but I read to my girlfriend each night before bed. Shes quite dyslexic but wants to read and I wont read unless theres a noise in the background. Its very fun talking and joking about the book we are reading or talking about what we think is going to happen next. We just finished reading the testements from margaret Atwood
That’s the most precious thing I’ve ever read
@@emf263 thank you, it's a situation that works for the both of us and it gets me off my phone before bed anyways. I cant wait till I'm allowed to see her again after lockdown
This is so lovely. We sometimes read to each other with my sister.
I don’t watch you as much anymore since I have no kids and can’t relate as much, but I do still watch from time to time to “catch up” and must say it still amazes me what a good mother you. Those kids are so lucky to have you and are absolutely adorable. You are truly amazing and meant to be a mom
Me too!
I love a good old Louise catch up shes always been one of my faves
Being read to makes children aware of emphasis in speech, tone, and expression ( if you do all the voices etc...) plus vocabulary development, imagination ( what do you think will happen next?) and talking about the pictures/characters/plot. I regularly read to the nearly 6 year-old boy I nanny, it is one of our favourite things to do together. I also work on letter sounds with him and he is really keen to continue learning to read! As a child, it was definitely a quiet moment to bond with my mum, as with 3 younger siblings, there wasn’t much time during the day. Even when I was reading chapter books, sometimes she’d read me the first chapter to get me started!
If you're getting a trampoline I thoroughly recommend getting an area of the garden gravelled or barked to put the trampoline on. Otherwise you'll be forever moving the trampoline around the garden to save the grass underneath!
I love that you and darcy are both enthusiastic about the jewellery, but when pearl told you to say eat more chicken just so she could say she tricked you... how sweet is she...
Ahh that intro music gives me the warmest feeling in my tummy ❤️
Your daughter's are such a credit to you! They are both such lovely little people and it shows what a great mum you are x
Love that you’re teaching the girls business skills (it’s like a whole new class in the homeschool curriculum) Sprinkle of Glitter style!
These are extraordinary times, Louise. The first world wide pandemic is certainly a reason to not feel positive and peppy. I'm SO glad you are honest because I know I am feeling the same way as you. If a vlog shows the perfect life, perfect family, a perfectly clean home.... THAT is not REAL!!
My absolute favourite thing about Louise's vlogs are that when her children have something to say she actively encouraged them and includes them, and pauses her vlog to listen to them.
Like little Pearl talking about her chicken! Mummy first, vlogger second ❤️❤️
Pearl and Darcy are so wholesome! Taking some quiet time for myself and I love coming over here, it’s so relaxing! I love how honest it is. I work in a library so books are such a big part of my life. I’ve always loved the Wilde books because it reminds me that we all need to be kinder to ourselves and just be ourselves. Love to you and the family Lou ❤️ thank you :)
Reading is one of the most valuable things to do with your child. A child who reads or is read to for 20 minutes per day will learn over a million words per year. Whereas a child who only reads for 1 minute per day will be exposed to 8000 words (approx) per year.
I love it when Sunday’s come around I get to sit in bed with a brew watching Louise, couldn’t ask for a better Sunday
Just an idea you can get the trampoline built into the ground and it will look less of an eye sore you just have to make sure that the hole underneath is big enough. Ps omg Darcy has grown up so much so has pearl why does time go so fast!😭. Xx
Second this! I had this as a kid and it was amaaaaazing
My sister and I have the same age gap as Darcy and Pearl do. She's 11 and I'm 17 and we are super super close. It's a really great age gap I think, because I can take her to places and give her lots of advice, and she's always super smiley and optimistic, and really cheers me up and gives me a bit of an escape from anything I'm stressing about. We are so glad to have each other. I love her to bits and I'm sure Darcy and Pearl will have a really special bond too
Pearlie with her necklaces and rings reading a book to Mummy is so darn adorable! I just love your relationship with your sweet girls.
"She's such a funny mummy"....said with such love, my heart melts!
Darcy saying “she is such a funny mummy” haha! Love love love the floral jumpsuit Louise, you look great!
The chicken bit with Pearly really tickled me!! Loved the jewellery segment with Darcy, that looks like such a fun hobby to have together ❤️
I think a "Darcy recommends" book segment would be lovely, I'd love to hear what books her age group are liking.
Another great "homey" day! You brightened my day, and yes, the struggle is real. You are allowed to NOT be okay. Loving your natural "you did it " hair.
Whenever I’m chatting with the children in my family I always ask them what they’re reading. They love reading and they’re all different ages so read such different things! My favourite is when they are reading something I read as a child because then we can have a chat that I think makes them feel like they aren’t the baby in the conversation but that they are a person who’s opinions are very welcome in the conversation!
I literaly can’t believe how grown up Darcy has gotten. When I first started watching you she experienced her first snow, and now she’s a little lady. Can’t believe it! I also think you seem to be a wonderful mother. Thanks for sharing your life with us ❤️
Oh the music❤️❤️❤️ Oldy but Goldy's felt a hug through the music today🎵
i can’t cope with how grown up Darcy is 😭 you’re doing an absolutely INSANE job of bringing them both up, they’re so lovely ❤️
My mum obviously hasn’t been able to see the kids so every night over face time she reads to them witch is lovely x
Darcy is such a lovely polite little girl what a gem 💗
We read to our daughter every day, often several books because she doesn’t understand the concept of “only one more” 😂. I love the projects you do with your girls! Such a fun mom ❤️
I hope you remember this comment when you feel your vlogs aren’t “exciting enough”: your homey days spent having quality time with your girls will become core memories for them. I’m 26 now, and I’ve had a fun childhood but I cherish most, the days spent with my mom. In our garden or having chats or cooking together, etc. You will never regret simply spending time with your children. Plus your audience, me included, seem to enjoy the home vlogs anyway (: don’t be so hard on yourself
Love your homey vids, so calming to watch with breakfast ❤️
Going through my Nana's old jewellery was my favourite thing as a child, thank you for reminding me of those beautiful memories
So lovely to see the girls, they are growing up fast and are so wonderful. Louise, you are such a lovely mummy to these beauties. Stay blessed x
I absolutely adore it when the girls are laughing and happy 😊 it makes me so happy and I smile with them!
I think most of us watch your videos because we've come to think of you as a friend and we don't require you to be all up and "ON" all the time for our entertainment. We're just enjoying you touching base with us and sharing the bits and bobs of your life.
Also, we're all experiencing pandemic fatigue. You're definitely not alone.
There is nothing better on a poor mental health day than a video from Louise ❤️
I'm not a mom nor do I want to be one.But i just enjoy your content! And the patience it takes to be a mother, i just don't have the stuff to do it. Also makes me a bit upset that I didn't have a mom like you are to Pearl and Darcy. It's like filling a void in my life.
Super excited to hear the new journey you and Darcy are starting!! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for when you start up and I think Darcy had a brilliant idea with the stuff you don’t want to sell by itself, bulk some of the things together if they’re still nice/good condition and sell them for cheaper! You never know who’s style it could be and I’m sure they’d sell, brilliant idea by her☺️
The part of you all dancing has melted my heart🥺🥺so cute!! So so happy you get to make memories that you can forever look back at❤️
As a teacher I can tell you that reading with your child makes such a huge difference to their learning. It helps with their vocabulary, phonics, their spelling, writing, comprehension and understanding. It also helps with their listening skills and idea generation too. Children in my class who have parents that read with them daily are much more confident with reading and spelling compared to those who either read alone, or don’t do it!
As a former teacher specialising in reading & literacy skills, I must agree with you. Developing language skills forms the foundation of all educational learning.
It's lovely hearing you talk about world book day. It is so important to me that every child owns a book and something interesting - when I went to confirm my daughter's birth at the register office in October, The Book Trust had a set up where every person got a canvas bag with 2 books and 2 card finger puppets with a relevant nursery rhyme on the back. I thought that was so brilliant and I don't know if it's the norm or if it's because the city and nearby towns are some of the poorest in the south of England. Either way it made me so happy to see. My step mil has very kindly bought my daughter 4 of the world book day books so we feel very lucky this year ☺️
Loved when the three of you were dancing those are precious memories. You'll be so glad you filmed them!
Will definitely have to watch this twice so violet can see her "friend" aka.. pearl ❤
I'm obsessed with vintage jewellery. I've got a slowly growing collection of art deco rings I adore
We need a disclaimer next time before you ask Alexa to play the fart song!! A snoozing baby and then our Alexa being as loud as can be confirming she will play the fart song was not what I needed to be jumping off the sofa for to mute her 😂😂😂
Oh no I'm so sorry!! xxx
Yaaaay my favourite time of the week! It’s as if the kettle just knew to boil in time for this. Happy Sunday Louise 💕
These two little girls have gorgeous, pure hearts.
Well, we all heart you, too. Thank you for this loving glimpse into your home life!
Pearly and Darcy are looking so alike now 😍 can’t believe how big Pearly is! Been rewatching her birth and new baby clogs recently x
I feel nostalgic - so much of the jewellery is like my mother's, and I gave it all to charity when she passed away. Darcy is a real gem, such a pleasant, caring young lady and a credit to you Louise x
I’d recommend getting the trampoline dug into the ground, loads of our friends have done it, safer and much less intrusive on the eye. xxx
My mum is encouraging my niece and nephew to read. They read 5 times a week now over FaceTime for £2. But it’s pushing them to read and help them. My sister has seen a huge difference in my niece now (9) talking about the stories and what’s happening at dinner and that. It’s really nice to see them reading and enjoying stories. Abi is reading my Sheltie The Shetland Pony series, I read at her age.
The girl's love for each other is just
Lovely to see so sweet 💗
I remember anxiously awaiting for news that Pearl had arrived, it's so lovely to see her little personality really bloom! I love these homey day vlogs, it feels like being on facetime with an old friend! 💕
Hello Louise,
I have a little boy, that reminds me of your youngest. I read with my son everyday. He actually requests me to. I also sing read to him at bedtime. Sing reading is where you sing the books. Warning you be asked to it all the time. You remind me they way in which to talk to your child. Sprinkle glitter everywhere everyday. X
The little jewellery section really reminded me of antiques roadshow! I used to love watching that as a kid ☺️
I love how close you all are as a family 💙
Reading expands the vocabulary and makes children like books, both very useful for life!
Awh, the goodbye cuddle and kiss between the girls melts my heart 🥺 I'm sure they have their sibling squabbles too but they really are the sweetest siblings 🥰
I love love love the M pendant and have been looking for one for so long!! I’m excited to witness yours and Darcy’s business venture ❤️
Your style of vlog is so influential to me 🌻 It doesn't feel like you're go, go, go for the sake of content. You show those parts of motherhood and daily adult life that are real. I really appreciate your style of vlogs ✨
This was so comforting to watch ❤️ and yes reading to your children does SO much good. It's amazing that you have so many books. By reading to them, you are modelling good reading, you are introducing them to so much new vocabulary, you're helping their imagination and their knowledge of words, sentences, genres. Basically, reading to your children is incredibly beneficial to them x
I love your honesty.... don’t ever change xx
I’ve read to both of my daughters every day since they were newborn. Our eldest daughter was premature and I read story after story to her in the incubator. She is now a healthy, happy 7 year old and LOVES books and is reading way beyond her years - her school teacher says. Both of my girls have the same love for books and stories as I do. I studied primary teaching and getting children to have a love of reading was my passion! x
I love how ‘normal’ and natural you are Louise! You can tell you haven’t changed since you’ve started UA-cam and that’s quite rare to find nowadays!
Thanks for the mid vlog extra realness. It always blows me away at how vloggers are so ‘on’ all the time.
Yay I love and have missed the homey vids. There is just something about them that makes me smile and warm my heart. Thank you - been very missed x
Lovely video of you all together. Thank you you brightened my day 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Your homey vlogs are my favourite!! So lovely! 💛
Those pendants and treasures fill my heart with pure and utter elation! Can’t wait to see what bits and bobs you and Darcy find and display! 😍
Just had to pause this to comment that I am 4months pregnant with my first and your dance party made me me cry happy tears 😂 I just though it was a beautiful family moment and reminded me of my mum. ♡♡♡
Also yes you are the Louise domestic goddess endless energy superwoman but also very real and relatable. Love watching your videos ♡♡
I think how you feel is very normal and how many people are feeling. Love your vlog because it's real life. Can't wait to see garden development - the garden is what's keeping me sane 😘
Why can't every young girl can be like Darcey, such a treasure ! I'm sure that Pearl will be brilliant also. You are so blessed.
Darcy really reminds me of my cousin. They both have the same kind of soft, intelligent vibes. I haven't seen my cousin in a long time because of the pandemic so seeing Darcy makes me smile.
I love the homey realness of your vlogs. You are such a good egg and the girlies are so adorable and sweet! Sending lots of love to you all from America! ❤️
Louise Darcy should watch high school musical it's amazing 😀
Yay - I’ve missed my favourite part of Sunday’s! Lots of love to you all 💗
That like mother, like daughter necklace set from Claires is so sweet 💕
‘She is such a funny mummy’ 🧡🧡🧡
Blaenau Ffestiniog is my fave place in the world!! Was a mining community I think so there's some really interesting ruins that make a lovely (fairly gentle) hike. There's also a zipwire in the hills now too :D you could actually board the train last time I went. And a fair few lovely village charity shops for treasure hunting 😀
I absolutely adore Pearl and her chicken....LOL. Loving how involved Darcy is in the vintage side hustle! I love seeing how you involve your girls in important lessons, but tailored to their age and stage of development :)
I just love all Pearls comments off camera, so cute ❤️. My kids might not have played with toys for years but as soon as I decide to donate them they are suddenly their favourites again haha.
Always love the homey vlogs. I love how you are with the girls. I agree that reading is so important at a young age. My mom read to me a lot and I read a lot as I was growing up. Loved seeing the natural waves in your hair...would love to see how curly it gets.
I feel so lucky, had a mum life read in the bath,and then I saw a new video was up! The best way to spend my sunday 💕💕💕💕💕
This was a joy as a massive book worm loved the world book Day segment! Thank you for helping me start my Sunday in the right way ❣️
idk about anyone else but these kinda homey cosy vlogs are so fun for me! i much prefer these than going out ones
You've got this beautiful mamma! 💛 I've been up and down most days too. Crying then laughing, can't keep up lol. We're all in this together 🥰 xxxx
I love vintage jewellery and pretty bits and pieces.
When I was about 13 or 14, I was helping my neighbour buy some vintage charms and jewellery for her sister who is into vintage stuff and there were two bits that I really loved. One was a little cat brooch that had shiny colour bits on it and then the other was a spherical charm covered in sparkly multicoloured pastel gems. She bought them but I thought they were for her sister until my birthday came and she gave them to me. They're so sweet and I still have them in a box in my jewellery box.
I don't own much vintage stuff but I would love to buy some more stuff.
I have my eye on that train pin as we're Welsh and my grandfather is obsessed with trains (especially old Welsh trains). It would make such a fantastic gift for him 😍
This was such a nice video. Something I needed. Thanks for keeping us all entertained and cheered up. Can't wait to see your little vintage store. What a fun hobby to have with Darcy. 💜
"She is such a funny mummy" broke my little heart!!!
Louise, I've been watching all of your old vlogs, namely the ones from when Pearl was born, as they comfort me. My baby boy has just turned 6 months, and new motherhood is lonely, so your videos make me feel less alone! It's so so lovely to have an up to date cosy homey vlog, it just feels like being on facetime to your best friend, is that weird? 😂 Hope you've had a fab weekend 💞
I read my first ever book because we got a free one on WBD at school. From then on I became an avid reader. I graduated in 2018 with a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing and am I currently writing my own novel. Such a worth while cause
The girls outfits are just so adorable! also love the jumpsuit too Louise,there’s never such thing as “too much”!!
I know I’m going to absolutely love this🥰love a little homey vlogs. Darcy is so sweet “she’s such a funny mummy!”💜
