Her latest video! She answers a question about trying to conceive and claim she she was told to take Folic acid due to being on the pill and therefore likely to be deficient 🤦🏻‍♀️ OMG she really is completely stupid. All women who are trying to conceive should take folic acid, it’s nothing to do with being on the pill. She’s a liability answering people’s questions given how utterly stupid she is. Also, tell me your traditions so we can start some 🤷‍♀️ Not sure she’s understood traditions there either 😂

This is my pet hate about bloody influencers. The very wrong and inappropriate advice many of them give that could have potentially very negative effects on the people who believe every word that cones out their mouth.
 
I don’t see an issue with open plan with children and other than asking for toy storage ideas and admitting she should have listened to her mum re a bigger fridge I haven’t seen her moan about things she would have changed. Is it just people in here who are saying she should have done xyz? I’ve not been keeping on top of Instagram since lockdown so I could have missed a lot.
This is what I meant about not really knowing what you’ll need for a child unless you have one. I wouldn’t have thought about toy storage pre children. I certainly didn’t own kallax units until I had birthed 3 of them 😂 why would you think about mundane things like that until you had to?
Obviously an architect can design a family friendly home, they’re trained to design projects so not really comparable 🙄

I was surprised that she didn’t fully understand ovulation, even whilst trying to conceive she was working off the base that ovulation occurred 14 days after your cycle begins, not 14 days before it ends (or less or more dependant on luteal phase but it’s typically 14). The folic acid is correct in that she would have been advised to start taking it but she’s obviously wrong in the reason why she had to take it.

She seems either naive or not very knowledgeable. For someone who lives her life on a phone, not sure why you wouldn't use it to Google or read up a bit on the baby stages or indeed motherhood in general.
It's fine to ask advice from family and friends, which I think she does, but she doesn't seem to have much of a clue about a lot of things.

respectfully I disagree about needing have kids to understand what living arrangement you need when having kids. That implies you couldn’t be an architect and design family home without having kids?? Even non parents can understand what space may be needed with kids.

Lily went completely open place. Even without kids, you can see that it would be an issue for storage and needing to keep the place clean and tidy all the time. Add kids in and all the stuff they have, its hardly a surprise the space doesn’t work unless you’re extremely naive and short sighted or think you’re going to be ‘different’ and not have a jumperoo etc. I have a relative who did the same thing to their house (downstairs completely open plan) and the kids stuff is everywhere. I don’t understand people that say they didn’t know they would need storage or an area for the kids to play. It’s so bloody obvious. The problem is people like Lily focus more on their Pinterest ideas and Instagram than practicality.

The point is, Lily has money and spent a lot on that Renovation. We are not talking about someone having to make do with a living situation they inherited and has no money to change it. She chose open plan so get on with it. I cannot seriously believe she didn’t have any understanding of what kids friendly living is, but even if she didn’t she‘ll have to get on with the space. She is the author of all her own problems and thats why sympathy is limited.

Let's also remember that Lily got gifted a ton of the stuff in the renovations - tiles, paint, furniture, etc. It was also her greed and lack of forward-thinking that made her choose the layout. Even though her sisters were probably advising her what to do and what not to do, because of the sponsorships, she couldn't be flexible with her choices. And, yes, of course having that perfect Pinterest home definitely outnumbered "kid friendly". Then remember when she got mad that photos of her home kept showing up on Pinterest?! LOL.

Totally agree. And probably her stubbornness that she knows best. If she was pregnant when she did the renovation she could have gotten some advice if she didn’t know what she needed. After all, she got a consultant in to style her frigging bed, so why be happy to get help in for that but not renovating your home which is a bloody costly exercise. Then you remember she had so much for free she didn’t need to take the care other people would over their plans and making sure it was future proof.

She’s done nothing but moan since she’s had it done as well. The black banister paint chipped. The downstairs toilet tiles discoloured. Nowhere to put Greys toys in that wasted no mans land between her lounge and kitchen. The bedroom wasn’t right so had to get a consultant in to sort that. Doesn’t know what to do with the bar cart. Had to change the dining table. Utility cupboards too deep.
In the garden she doesn’t know what to do, but she doesn’t want a shed. Even though surely Grey will have a bike and outdoor toys in the future. She will do the same again and renovate the garden and then moan Greys bright toys are spoiling the aesthetic. Because apparently thinking about storage is mundane or whatever and only something you know about after kids and even then you don’t know you need the storage until you need it. 🙄🙄

Just can’t deal with her levels of stupid. I’m extending my house, it’s costing a lot money (well to me anyway) and there’s no way I’m rushing into changing anything without ensuring it will work now and in the future. I’m thinking about where I will put furniture, lamps and store things. It’s not difficult but the difference is you care a lot more when you’re paying for it yourself.

Maybe is only me who used to live in a tiny flat or house, I find her storage at home is okay is not the best and definitely not the worst. She has storage even in Rich’s pink loo. And she has all those shelf in their living room and office. And half of them are either empty or fill with some HM craps. She is also a hoarder, and I totally agree with what all of you have said she is more about Pinterest than functionality.
 
Its not the worst but she doesn’t think ahead. Like putting in a shed isn’t going to make your garden Insta goalzzz but where else will you put your children’s bike, sandpit, other garden toys? She refuses to do normal tit like that.
Downstairs in the lounge and kitchen area there is not much practical storage for day to day stuff other than the shelves and two small cupboards round her fireplace which is more for decorative items really.
the other aspect is she works from home and probably needs storage for her work stuff. She had cupboard put in the guest room for her camera equipment. Maybe that was more obvious to her than storage for kids stuff 🤷‍♀️
I’m working from home in the lockdown and all the extra screens, laptop, cables and paperwork is annoying me, so glad I don’t usually have to have it at home cluttering my house. I would want way more storage in my house if I was working here all the time.
A lot of influencers are pretty savvy now and have bought their home in mind with working from home so have a dedicated office room with space to take photos, store all their clothes. Then again she only works 2 days a week or whatever so doesn’t really need that.

And "working" is spent on Instagram, plucking eyebrows, going up into the loft etc
Is the blog still being updated?

🤦‍♀️ oh Lily. If only you could, you know, give it away. (You know, like how you just (literally on your previous story) preached that we should all be doing with tinned goods and food banks. Or "sharing", as you called it.) Let the masses have something for free!

Was coming to share this 🤦🏼‍♀️ how do you not notice at checkout that it's more expensive than the cost of the three! She's such a knob.
 
Long time lurker of the Lily thread but I catch her stories here or there.
Cannot understand how out of touch and so bloody entitled she is.

I’ve never seen someone dislike their own child so much. I rarely see her drink so what’s the point in the bar cart anyway apart from aesthetic?
Don’t get me wrong, we all want our houses to look nice. I Reno’d my house when I was pregnant but had the foresight to add stuff like sideboards where I can hide toys and nappies and whatever.
As my sons grown our house has too, we have nicer looking storage bags for toys, his room has some nicer looking tubs but everything is accessible. I choose practicality over style but will pay more if I prefer the look (I do have to look at it daily!) but my main thing is that my son can have his toys to hand. I don’t want a show home. I want a home that looks good but I don’t want my son to grow up thinking he can’t slob on the sofa, or plan with his toys because they’re annoying or don’t go with the house ffs
