Finish with a sweet slice of mango yuzu chantilly cake. Savor the tropics and save at Whole Foods Market. Hello and welcome to Made by Mamas, the podcast. I'm Zoe Hardman. And I'm Georgia Dayton. And this is your parenting safe space where no conversation is off limits. With five kids between G and I, we have seen a lot.
1:23Georgia Dayton: We really have. Each week we'll be joined by some famous faces and experts. And we'll chat about the brands and products that have saved us along the way. In short, we're the parenting podcast for you. Before we get started, hit subscribe or follow so you're the first to know when each episode lands. And they're on Tuesdays and Fridays. And it really helps if you leave a rating and a review. You can also find us on Instagram. We're on at Made by Mummies. But for now, George, should we get into it? It's Friday. How's your week been? You've been getting up early. It's been so fun. It is my, apart from the podcast, it is my favourite thing to do.
2:01So I've been on Heartbreakfast, Amanda was away. So I did last week and then I did Monday and Tuesday of this week. But it was just brilliant because it was sort of like the show was writing itself. like on Tuesday morning, Jamie overslept and tipped up 40 minutes late for the show. And it's the first time in 30 years of radio that he's ever done it. So we were just, I mean, you can imagine how much we dined out on it. It was brilliant.
2:22Georgia Dayton: Oh my God, I love that. That is actually so funny. And that's everyone's biggest nightmare, isn't it? Oversleeping. And I can imagine if you've never done that in 30 years, that is pretty good going. Right. That's what I said. But that feeling of waking up and seeing that it's light in your bedroom, it's happened Oh my God, you think the whole world is ending. But yeah, we just made a brilliant show off the back of it. And then they also got Gary the Stripper on from the Dream Boys. I've got to tell you the full story, but I'm going to wait until we're in the studio together because I think I need to see your reaction.
2:52I need to show you the photos.
2:53Georgia Dayton: Yeah, and we need to do a proper catch up as in like full how Easter was, how, you know, all of that kind of stuff. And we will do that when we're together, I think. So we're actually going to do a solo episode, just you and I for Tuesday of next week, I think. So wait for that because it's brilliant. But I know that we've had loads of questions being sent in over Easter and we're pretty rubbish sometimes when the kids are off with replying. So we thought we may as well do a bit of a catch up on here just with like a few questions that you've had and just general stuff, really. So how are you, George, before we get into it?
3:26You look very, is that your ski tan?
3:28Georgia Dayton: My ski tan. Look at your nose. I know. Do you know what? I honestly, I wore your goggles. I looked like I was wearing goggles for a week after. It was awful. I've never had anything like that before. That's what happens when you go skiing at Easter, George. Right, like white, all around my eyes and then like a full on tanned face and a white neck. So I look mental. I think it has evened out a little bit now, but I did look completely wild. But yeah, I actually, I mean. How'd you go with the skiing? I mean I don't love skiing you take that back right now I don't I don't what do you mean no one doesn't like it I do not like it I like everything around it I like the scenery I like the fresh air I like the drinking I like the food I love all of that I don't love going down the mounting on two sticks I don't love that that is that because it sort of reminds you of an OAP when you're doing it oh totally is it totally yeah totally you had all the gear you had the jacket how were the jackets love the jackets I didn't wear the snazzy jackets until the awards the end of the week because I thought I can't be rocking up to ski school in like this gold jacket and then being totally shit.
4:50Georgia Dayton: So I waited for the end. All the gear and no idea. I have got to a stage now where the kids and James are like one million times better than me. It's frustrating, isn't it? But I only want to get to the stage that I just keep Gigi skiing and then once she actually really loves it, I can duck out. So that's like the plan. Georgia, that is not the plan. It is the plan. The plan is that you're going to ski together as a family for the rest of your lives, creating beautiful memories in the mountains. It's not. I will create beautiful memories in the mountains. I'll take them. Sitting, drinking champagne, watching them come down.
5:25Georgia Dayton: That is what I will do. I do actually love the whole ski holiday. I do really get it and I really love it. But I do not love the ski part. Fine. Okay, so maybe just let them do it and you can soon get pissed. I'll stick to green slopes and champagne and that will be me. I love it. We're doing a Q &A today. so when ask us anything um george kick us off um let's start with a big one how to juggle returning to work and being a present parent god such a good question it is um so i think georgia and i always say that it's not about the hours that you spend with the kids it's about the quality time that you spend so i.e if it's 20 or 30 minutes at the end of the day and you are totally focused on the kids at that point or even not totally focused but you're with them and you're you know giving them a little bit of one-on-one time that is enough and I think we put so much pressure on ourselves where we think we've got to have you know this big career or we've got to do x y and z but then we've got to be totally 100 % there for the kids it's just not reality and I think that's going to take a little bit of getting used to and I understand why this person is feeling you know a bit unsure a bit anxious about it but really if it's 20 minutes at the end of the day and you read a story with them or you play a game or you let them you know tell you about their day that's all they want I know they just want to be seen don't they yeah exactly and I think you know we've just on a practical level like we always say this and I think it was actually that Toby Azari it was her advice that before before you do go back to work put all of the child care and all of your like logistics in place before the actual day that you return so you can almost like get all of that out of your head so that's not whirring around in your head and have like a week of like pretending almost to go to work yeah and then that part is then not the mental load and then you just focus on like getting back into the getting back into the job the logistics are sorted out and then you can work out where your like times are going to be with your kids or your child or whatever because yeah like Zoe said it's not quality not it's quality not quantity um yeah and I think you know as the kids get older as well you notice that more like you don't have as much time with them because they've got their own interests as well but you just have to carve it out and I do think you have to be strict like you have to be really strict you know we're all accessible at all hours of the day now so you know you've got to put like your phone away or like your work head away even if it is just for half an hour yeah and please try not to feel guilty we we also this is our big message about this guilt that we feel that if we're not working we should be parenting we've got a parent 100 we've got to work 100 we've got a friend 100 it's like that is not reality you know like it's amazing that you're going back to work if that's what you choose to do or you have to do and it's like good for you so pat yourself on the back make sure you're carving out special time across the weekend and give yourself a rest like we're we're human yeah Yeah, exactly.
8:32We are human beings.
8:33Georgia Dayton: We are. Right. I'm going to go to Zoe. We need a boob update. From settling back into a new job to Zoe's tits seamlessly. It's such a good question. I'm not sure where I'm at with it anymore. And I'm taking some time to think about it because lots of things have been coming into my head recently. Like it's quite a major operation. It's another general anaesthetic. Is my body going to reject them? I'm feeling a bit more anxious about it. I don't know. I've suddenly gone from definitely being like, I'm 100 % going to have it to there's a chance I might not have it. Also, you know, my boobs are now on the driveway, which is new.
9:18They're in the garden, which is new. They're in the kitchen, which is new. So every time I save up enough money to get them done, I have to just put them somewhere else, which is slightly frustrating. So I'm just having a rethink. I wanted to debut them this summer, 2026, the year of the boobs. But maybe it will be on pause.
9:34Georgia Dayton: Yeah. What do you think? I don't know. I don't know. I feel like I only see bad boob jobs. But it's because you don't see good ones because you don't know they're done. And I think that's the problem, isn't it? That you see some people and you're like, oh, Jesus, I would not want that. But then you don't know the ones that are good. You don't know them. the big thing is the running and then it sounds ridiculous but I love you know how much I love running and I love sprinting but also sleeping on my front that is how I sleep I sleep on my front how will I sleep on my front yeah but then I tussle between sleeping on my front and then the good tit banks that I could do so it's like oh my god it's a real dichotomy I'm sorry but that is going through my mind next question please next question she's so judgy look how look how judgy georgia's got judgy georgia you're judgy georgia now um any insight into deferring a school year for an august baby absolutely zero no i mean axel is august like is an august baby and i never thought of deferring um i i think it just depends on your child and like i think you can really worry like when axel started school he well you know he was three until he turned four two weeks before he started school and so i know yeah oh yes yeah yeah yeah exactly so like all in the lead up he's three to start his no no i thought they started at five you start at four yeah luna would have just turned five as soon as she started and axel would have just turned He was two weeks after he turned four that he started school.
11:26Georgia Dayton: So I think when your child is three and everyone around you is talking about starting school in September, starting school in September, if you've got an August baby, you do feel like, oh, my God, like, what? How are we here already? but I would say it depends on your child and how you think they'll cope but I I think the majority of the kids do cope and you know the teachers know that they're an August baby and that they might take a little bit longer to settle in but I would say most of Axel's mates are all born in July and August which is really funny and they're not you know they're not struggling like across the board it's sort of evened out Axel's the opposite he's absolutely excelling yeah he is you have to take it child by child I think it just really depends but again like just across his peers now in year five you wouldn't know who was born in September and who was born in August necessarily do you know what I mean I think the worry is this stage and it just depends I think um yeah but in terms of in terms of actually the the doing the deferring you 100 just go to go to any resources ask chat gpt you know just do some investigating around that but i do think sometimes we put um you know this sort of feeling that they're definitely definitely going to be far behind and they're not going to be able to catch up but i think you know your child and also um it's okay if you decide to defer that's that's also you know you get your kid for an extra year and you give them a chance to, if they're already sort of struggling or you think they might struggle and being away from you, then just defer them.
12:58Exactly. That's what happened to me. I just did it a bit late. I went really, really early. And then I caught that year up when I was 12.
13:06Georgia Dayton: Oh, right. Okay. So I had that year. I repeated my last year of prep school at 12 because I just couldn't catch up. I was dyslexic. It should have happened a lot earlier. And it was quite hard for me because all my mates had gone on. But I did actually repeat that year. Oh, well, there we go. That's what I mean. I think it just really depends. But yeah, I think that is usually the pressure, like when you're thinking of your three-year-old starting school, that feels a lot. We'll be right back after this short break.

The produce section is bursting with pineapples, mangoes, and kiwis at their juiciest.

14:09Welcome back to this episode of Made by Mamas. Now, where were we? What else would need to happen to make you look back at 2026 and say, what an awesome year? That's from Sarah. What an amazing question.
14:22Georgia Dayton: That is an amazing question. Go on, you go first, George. I mean, there's like a million things. I'd love to win the year in millions in 2026. But, you know, that's a pipe drink. No, but I mean, yeah, where do you start? But I do think like this year, I... God, that's really difficult. I'd love to have another, you know, some lovely... Baby? No. No! Oh my God, can you stop this? I feel like people are manifesting this onto me. I really... Really? Is anyone else doing it? Because I'm just doing it just to pull your leg. Loads of people are doing it to me. Oh, that must be horrible for you. I'm sorry.
15:00I was only teasing you.
15:02Georgia Dayton: It's not. It's not that difficult. Really? Are people doing it? Who's doing it? What friends, family? Yeah, I think, you know, I'm 37 in May and everyone's like, oh, this is like your last chance. And I'm like, all right. Oh my God. All right. Cool. Great. great for you um anyway so that's that not having a baby in 2026 would make it great I was gonna say in general I just would like to have another couple of lovely trips it's more time with friends and that's it really for a great 2026 uh I feel pretty settled and that would just be the cherry on top how about you brilliant I love that oh where do you want to start obviously I've got a list as long as my arm but the big ones are I really we really want to take the kids to Australia and do Bali Australia yeah I want to do that we're thinking about doing it for Christmas this year as opposed to going to Kenya but that would mean sacrificing being with my mum but I just think it's such a great time to go so I would love to do that to finish the year um I really want to get a prime time BBC One show presenting so I've got to get on the sofa somewhere or I've got to get on I'm trying to think we're working angles at the moment so that is my big focus for the year on mummers I uh we've got some exciting things coming up yeah we'll fill you in when we know and and obviously our cereal brand Shiki Pete's that we've sort of partnered in we want that to be in every single supermarket in the UK actually yeah if anyone's listening who works in that sort of side of things like at Ocado or Sainsbury's or whatever please get in touch um because it's very new for us but it's such a good product um yeah there's the big sale we're so excited and michelle obama how many years have i been saying it for on the podcast please michelle obama on the podcast also anyone who works with her um if you're listening then please get in touch good well done we've done our sales pitch we have there's a lot of messages here about tell us about changing schools please desperate to know about the new school g did you find the brown shoes would love to know more about the decision to change actual school being nosy go for it there is no big deep secret message reason it was literally a lot of axel's friends go to a school that's really close to our house um and it is a quite an academic school it's very small they only have 20 in a year and you can never get a place like it just doesn't happen um and then someone was leaving and obviously because lots of his friends go there they were all like oh Axel you could join you could join you could join and um I was like oh yeah I mean I guess so that that's what happened we had a meeting this was on the Thursday and on the Tuesday we had a meeting with the head and he was doing his assessments and all that kind of stuff and then Thursday he decided he wanted to leave his current school and Friday we told them and he left so it was very um very quick but essentially like it it's a more academic school and he's in year five and I think that becomes more important as they get older and I think you realize certain schools are suited more for different kids like I would never send Gigi there like not right now like never because it just wouldn't suit her whereas for him it would but I did find the brown shoes and brown shoes are really hard to find um Georgia how exciting and you know what I love about this whole thing is that he's been really fluid it says so much about him as a boy and him as a person you know that he can just get up get on with it make a choice and go and smash it and he'll do this for a year and then he'll go on to then you'll go into secondary school but yeah it's all new all changed to school drop I can't wait to see him in his uniform and one thing I have to do packed lunch every day you do not i do oh fuck my life that would be the deciding for me on them on the cons list we sat and did a pros and cons list that was the top con that was oh would you like another ham sandwich seriously what the hell what the hell yeah so there we go exciting times george yeah um oh tips for hair curling please you both always have such beautiful curls that's from holly so my my top tip for hair curling is not to give yourself a straight out blow dry beforehand rough dry your hair yeah make sure that you use um I use the kerastase I put a little bit of the oil on and sometimes if I want to do more of a beachy wave I'll put like a texture cream in yeah and then I just grab pieces and then just rough curl them I'm gonna I have got a tutorial on it but I always have a little bit at the end.
19:53So a tiny bit at the end if I want the beachy curls. And if I want a big bouncier one, then I'll blow dry my hair straight and then go in with a big, essentially like a big GHD wand I've got.
20:03Georgia Dayton: Yeah, it depends, doesn't it? Because if you want like a more beachy look, you don't want like really polished to begin with. But yeah, I actually rarely curl my hair now. I just use the Dyson Airwrap. Yeah, you like a Dyson Airwrap, don't you? Yeah, I just sort of, I don't really know why. My tongs broke on the way back from Cyprus and then I haven't been able to find a pair that I like to replace them. The GHD ones are amazing. No, but that's what I bought. I had the GHD ones before with the clamp and then now they've got these new ones and they're just nowhere near as good. Oh, get the GHD call us.
20:36Georgia Dayton: I know. We'd like to try them all. I know. I feel like I bought two pairs and neither of them are the same. But have they not got a clamp on the new ones? No. Oh, that's annoying because then you burn your fingers. Yeah, I need to go back and just buy an old pair. There will be an old, like someone will still stock. the old set your hair always looks gorgeous tips for postpartum style been dressed like adam sandler for too long love that abby uh postpartum style george you were the queen of it postpartum style well it sounds like yeah gangnam style um it's a difficult time really isn't it because you know that your body's going to keep changing for a little bit so you never want to like invest in anything that's too fitted because you know week on week your body can change especially if you're breastfeeding like and hormones and all that kind of stuff so I would go for like smart but comfortable so I think it's all in like the the materials so we go on about it all the time but like a varley tracksuit or like something that feels lovely on your skin but you'll still feel like nice in apparently I haven't I haven't seen it but FNF have done an amazing copy and in that I've got it have you yeah I've got it in that lovely fabric yeah so I would look for things like that fabrics like lovely jerseys and cottons and stuff and then I think when it comes to denim it's quite a good time really because people are wearing baggier styles of denim anyway so you've got a bit more wiggle room if you buy the size that you would feel comfortable in right now but you know whether you fluctuate either way after it's not going to matter so much and maybe also grabbing a pair of wide leg but drawstring you know like for example we've got georgia and i georgia influenced me these great pair which we got from m &s but they're from hush and they've got a drawstring waist their leopard print they look great with a t-shirt they look great with a crew neck jumper they look amazing with a shirt you know all of these really versatile pieces but actually if your body is changing because you're postpartum it will work for you you can wear them with you know trainers to the park or boots or you know sandals in the summer I really think they are the most versatile piece in your wardrobe and also just like Georgia said it's listen we're postpartum we're not thinking about the catwalk we're thinking about things that make us feel a bit more alive and you know just we'll work with lots of other things in our wardrobe.
23:07So we'll post a few links for you. Yes, definitely.

23:48Welcome back to this episode of Made by Mamas. Now, where were we? Do you have any advice on how to keep up energy levels? I'm so tired all the time. That's from Charlotte. Or you and me both.
23:59Georgia Dayton: I mean, if we had the magic answer to this, then wow. I went for a nap yesterday and my nap lasted four hours. That's not a nap. That's a whole sleep cycle, isn't it? That is a whole sleep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so. I think, I mean, obviously, apart from the usuals, like getting enough sleep and eating well and all that kind of stuff. I don't know about you, but I do think my energy levels have changed since I've started drinking electrolytes. And I know there's probably no scientific evidence and all of that kind of stuff. but I genuinely really feel, especially when you're busy and you might not be fueling yourself properly, having that in your drink.
24:34Georgia Dayton: Which one are you drinking? I use the Arta. It's called cellular hydration. Okay. I just put like two. Should I get some? I think it's brilliant. I really do. And my parents, when we were on holiday last summer, I was doing it for them every morning. And my mum was like, this is really making a difference. I don't have an energy slum in the afternoon. So who knows? Like, I don't know if that is scientifically proven or not, but anecdotally, I genuinely feel like it makes a big difference to me. Okay, I'm not taking electrolytes, so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. Yeah, I think it's just because we rush around and then you just don't drink enough or you need those extra salts or whatever it is.
25:16I've got a good couple of tips. Firstly, if you are tired all the time, go and get your hormone levels checked. That would be my first bit of advice. And you can speak to your doctor about it. You can get it on the NHS. They will do the blood test if you go in and say, I'm exhausted. If you're exhausted because you don't know, you might have a problem with your thyroid. It might be something to do with iron. So definitely, definitely go and get checked first. then tips for me I always carry a banana and some mixed nuts in my bag and various other dry snacks but I have to keep my energy levels up that way because I'm quite as we know quite bad at I'm I'm a meal I can be a meal skipper and if I don't eat or hydrate enough like you said George I can get tired very very quickly I don't do it on purpose just because I'm busy so I think that's a good tip and then just try going to bed 15 minutes earlier just I've started doing that so as opposed to get you know going up at like 9 30 and by the time I've faffed around and watched you know turning off at 11 I'm going up much earlier now and reading and then trying to wind down that way um because I think most people like the average time people go to bed is like midnight oh god I mean it gives me gives me heart expectations just thinking about it so just try and get your bedtime to 9 30 and go from there that's where I'd start yeah and you know
26:35Georgia Dayton: what one other thing I work from home and sometimes I don't move all day and then in the evening I just feel like foggy and tired and I just think getting some actual sunlight like daylight and even five minute walk around the block can change that the whole way you feel and I know that you feel like oh god moving when i'm so tired i just want to lay down but actually sometimes it's like the opposite because you're feeling sluggish rather than just tired okay yeah i hear you good advice george thanks um if you could go back to the days when your kids were younger minor one four and five what would you do differently knowing what you know now i'd love any wisdom you may have oh well you know I've been thinking about it so much because Isla is going to be 13 next month 13 I feel like it's gone I feel like and it's it's okay that it's gone but she's not a child any longer she's a young woman and it's hormones and boyfriends and It's all happening for her.
27:49And the relationship has changed and there aren't any hugs any longer. And, you know, it's changed and it's hard. I find that really difficult. So I'm grieving a bit of the young her. I'm still in that sweet spot with Luna and Kit, but I know Luna's turning 10 in September. I know. And Axel's 10 in August, right? I know that it's about to change for them. So what I'm really trying to do now is all those times that I was desperate for bedtime time to be over all those moments where I just couldn't wait for them to shut up and stop talking and be like oh you drug me mental because I was tired and exhausted I'm not looking back and beating myself up about it but what I'm trying to do now is give them those extra moments like when I took Kit in last night he said oh mommy please will you get into bed with me and even I was through the floor because I've been up doing breakfast since 4am and all that kind of stuff I got into bed with him and we just chatted for 15 minutes and I just gave him that moment and it fed me and it fed him so yeah I don't I wouldn't change anything but I'm trying to top myself
28:49Georgia Dayton: up with things that I might have missed yeah no I'm so with you on that and I think mine's really similar I think I look back at how we were trying to do the right thing the right thing the right thing all the time you know like make sure they're in bed by 6 or 6 30 and make sure they've had their meals and and I really would not I would go back and like not do as much of that um it particularly with not sleeping in bed with us you know like oh my god I know that I really think oh why did why are we such sticklers for that and like obviously it has its benefits like to you know sometimes when you get them into a good routine and then you get your time but now looking back you know that is such a short time I think it's the rules it's all those rules that maybe you put on yourself that they should be doing and you shouldn't be sleeping in the bed with them and you they've got to be doing this and they've got to be doing that I would ease up on that a lot we we at the time George we were like we are not co-sleepers we weren't judging anyone that was but we were like absolutely not and now if they ever come in and get in they stay for five minutes and they go I'll go back to my bed now please stay just stay oh don't I know and I keep keeps asking me can I sleep with you and I actually Doz is going away he's going to Ibiza on the 20 I want to say 29th of April and I said to Kit mate you got four nights in the big bed and I cannot wait for it it's going to be amazing we're going to have movie night we're going to do I just yeah brilliant actually I'm going to rotate one kid one kid one kid one kid it is that that is the thing isn't it although I did let Gigi do that the other night and she punched me in the face in the night.
30:33Georgia Dayton: And that was not fun. Okay, great. Not so great. Maybe it's not. Have we got time for one more question, George? Yeah. Where should we go? Oh, here we go. Let's end on a high. Let's go to this one. Three-day Ibiza itinerary for 40-year-olds. We're going in May. Day parties, preferably. Off you go, Zoe. Here we go, ladies. Okay, first up. Where should we start? Day parties. Okay. Well, if you want to go for less of a sort of day party vibe, but one of my favorite beach clubs to go to is Calabasa. Calabasa, they do the best sushi. They do the best drinks. You can get beds on the beach. It's a really beautiful bay and they play music, but it's not like, it wouldn't be your ocean beach vibes.
31:19It's a bit more, it's a bit classier than that. So I love Calabasa. It's always on my list. You have to go to a Shweier because you've got to tick that box. A Shire starts at around three or four in the afternoon and goes on till 11. If you've got second wind, you can then go from a Shire, walk across the road and go to high for a dance. Cause let's be honest, that's the best place. And they've got the Bogs of Joy, which are DJs in the loos. And it's just, you're having a wee and someone's playing some music and it's the best light of your life. So those are my two absolute top tips. I'm going to be DJing in August at Universe which is the new super club I'm doing Deep Getters Night again um sorry not August did I say August July 17th I'm there um that is worth a little pop in because it's just the biggest club in the world so I think everybody has to go and experience it where else in the day do I love um let me just think what's a good oh really I think Blue Marlin because it's kind of it's famous and they get some really good DJs there it is a little bit money but it's quite kind of showy and flashy and quite fun so that's always a good shout and experimental for sunset
32:28Georgia Dayton: look at that you don't need to do anything now you've got a full eye to send me send me a message and i'll send you a breakdown of more places that i love that's great i'm going in like three weeks see you there that's me there we go you might be there at the same time exactly um thank you so much for sending in all of your questions for today's q a we absolutely loved answering them As always, we'd love you to rate, review, subscribe and please give the podcast a follow.
