She admits in the podcast that she was making comments about kids being a while away to fool her audience - personally I think that’s a bit off? Like fair enough, don’t tell until you’re ready, but admitting you’re actively trying to deceive your audience doesn’t sit right with me.

I wonder how long it took for Anna to get Mark to accept her frivolous spending on expensive, basic-ass clothes. Brother Mark, who loves a cold room and a hard mattress, sensible shoes and Uniqlo puffers, and whose favorite meal is undoubtedly plain bread with water. I would not be surprised if he actually prefers sleeping on the ground with no pillow (an unnecessary waste of feathers, if you ask him!).

How are we all? Are we expecting a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at 6pm? Or will little Fig Mark Newton stay in hiding for a while longer? *fooled you all, giggle giggle* Are you here for it? Good vibes only!

Oh my word, you guys, labour! What can I say, it was a whole thing, the midwife was like "we've got pain relief" and I was like "YES PLEASE! I AM HERE FOR THE PAIN RELIEF!" *giggle giggle* But let's hear it for this guy, Maaaawk was a champ: stayed in the Labour suite the ENTIRE LABOUR, is there anything this man can't do?

It’s a cult, I tell you. In a few months you’ll see Mark walking through Brighton, followed by a line of women all identically dressed in porridge-coloured shifts and black Birkenstocks (with socks, obvs). Listen closely and you’ll hear them all mumbling the daily prayer ... ‘It’s a Mark moment, we are here for it, swipe up for links. It’s a Mark moment, we are here for it ...’

Even now like who is hanging their washing out? Stingy mark not letting her have the radiators on? Or some stuff in the tumble? Like maiden’s are great because you can move them in and outdoors, I’m surprised she doesn’t have one of those heated rails from lakeland?

Wth! Who takes a polaroid of someone ready to put up the washing line. She is horrible and so annoying. Peg bag ...y is it so glorious I just don't understand.

As someone who grew up in a house with a huge garden and then have lived in tiny flats for the past 17 years, I can really empathise with their excitement over drying clothes outdoors, there’s nothing quite as fresh as wind blown, sun dried linen.

I also find it quite sweet she finds such moments worthy a photo. I believe they don’t often take polaroids but the format seems to be reserved for special occasions such as moving in days and other bigger events. I would much rather see her happy with a drying line, than pushing unattainable consumerist crap in her viewers face.

The peg bag was hand made by her grandma. There’s more value in sentimental pieces than money can buy.

She’ll say in a video or something “we had him secretly a few weeks before we announced, just to keep it private” giggle giggle giggle “was so nice to have that time before people knew or suspected” with lily being like “it was so nice being the only person to know Anna had her baby”

Hers or Mark's mum is definitely helping them full time. To have a newborn and go back to posting ads/content/editing/ brand liasions/ gifting items modelling situations - you can't do it so quick without a massive help of someone else( or more).
I bet 2 of their mums are there on rotation. Nice if you can pay them well, hopefully they will, or at least show gratitude in other ways (Waitrose & partners coupons etc.)
I think, and nothing wrong with that, if you have at least 1 solid hands on grandma, not to mention 2, you don't and shouldn't worry too much about being a mum/ working/ planning stuff and carrying on your premum life as normal. Anna seem excited and still looks happy and not too tired....Why not.

I think you may be overestimating how much work it takes to take a pic of a jumper and af-link it on a story.

Mark, the real MVP.

From the description box of today's video:

The one where I show you my new ‘routine’ - HA! Also sidenote, apologies this vlog is a bit choppy, we had a MARE with clips and this vlog took Mark three days to recover and upload. He is the real MVP!!

OK, I had to Google that to find out that she’s using MVP to mean ‘most valuable player’. In my job, MVP is ‘minimum viable product’ and I thought Anna was finally being honest about Mark.

In the podcast, Anna mentioned that a part of why she waited a little longer to tell people was because there were quite a lot of pregnant women in their industry at the moment. That makes sense as you definitely wouldn't want to steal anyone else's thunder etc, but the way she worded it surprised me. She couldn't handle it if anyone made a comment about "yet another one" because that would be directed at HER BABY. I don't know, I guess i'm just really surprised she couldn't have a sense of humour about that? She admits she/they are in the age bracket where lots of people will be having them, so surely there will be more after her too? So why get so obsessed/worried about the slightest bit of not completely positive feedback on yours? How could anyone rational let that affect their pregnancy experience? Seemed a bit like she wanted the perfect amount/type of attention for her big reveal and was a bit miffed she couldn't get it.

I have to admit, I think am very much like Anna. I like to keep things to myself until they're done, so I rarely tell people my plans, I will just tell people when the thing is done. This is mostly because I don't like being asked how things are going while I'm doing them and also incase things don't go to plan. I also, in a very ironic way, value modesty (I think it's the coolest thing ever) so always try to appear modest and "oh, little old me?" even though it's some what manufactured. Not a great personality trait I admit, I'm not proud of it as it's not modesty if you want credit for being modest lol. I feel like Anna is like this too.

I don't have an issue with Anna keeping things under wraps. I am a private person myself, so I actually completely understand this. The problem is that she actively lies in order to keep her secrets. She has done this a few times now, saying things like it is her 'dream to one day have a garden,' when she has just completed on a house with a large garden; or saying she has her period and talking about kids like they are very very far off in the future, when she is, in fact, pregnant. It's not that she's trying to keep things private that's the problem, it's that she actually seems to take pleasure in deceiving her audience. I mean, nobody ever asked her if it was her dream to one day have a garden. Nobody asked her if she had her freakin' period. She could say nothing on these issues - but she seems to like lying. That's the problem.

As for negative feedback. Anna does not do negative feedback. Somebody recently pointed out that her desk was facing the wrong way and she deleted the comment! She wants Good Vibes Only!

I think she's become pretty insufferable.

we’re having a baby sick down my top moment
Look at Mark, such a perfect dad. Mark putting together the cot. Mark knows everything about pregnancy. Mark was my midwife. Mark lactating.
