Daisy Upton - Five Minute Mum: Starting School

Daisy Upton is a Rock Star in the BestSellers Household. You'll know her better as Five Minute Mum, a former classroom assistant whose 5 min easy to set up games for kids have come to the rescue of many an arguing home and earned her over 250,000 Instagram followers.

Her latest book is her first targeted at children rather than parents: STARTING SCHOOL walks your child through what to expect in their first few days in a brand new environment and is packed with useful tips for children and parents alike.

In this episode Daisy explains where her five minute mum concept came from; how she's now judged by other parents and where her further writing ambitions lie.

We also talk Cocktails and Natalie mentions The Spirits substack by Richard Godwin, which she promised we'd link to in this synopsis, plus listen right to the end for Phil's story of a cocktail experience which ended in flames...!
