I use to watch this family and stark contrast between the ones i watched around 4 years ago and now is unbelievable. I watched them as im from a simular area i live on the outskirts of the leeds area and im a emergency medicine consultant with twins under 2.
In terms of the children being home-schooled i have no issue with home-schooling however thats not happening her and its blatantly obvious its not. Sarah i know you read here and sometimes need content ideas. You seem to like redecorating your house but your visions arent working theres too many different styles your trying to implement.
Your kitchen if it was my kitchen. I would sell those silver velvet sofas and if i couldnt afford a new sofa i would move across the black corner one and put it with the tv/media wall. I would then try and sell that kitchen/dining table and purchase a new wooden style one and have it longways matching the way of the bifold doors (opposite to way they have it now. and redo that particular area too. In the space near thhe bifold doors in that corner i would get 2 built desks making it one large corner desk with some draws up against the wall with 2 comfy computer chairs. then i would make this Esme and Islas study space. I would then clean out each of my kitchen cuboards and sort everything i want and didnt want and then do a full refresh shop filling the fridge freezer and cuboards up and invest in some cook books to make healthy nutrious meals for my family especially with being at home all day.
In the living room i would probly purchase a wooden beam to go above the fire place and i would get a tv unit that fit the style i want. i would also
have two chair on the opposite side of the room that matched my sofa and them with a little table intween. i would probably also have some form of book case in the living room and some actual wall decor up. Make it an acutal home.
The landing and stars those vagina tables would be gone and the boot room would be sorted making it a more welcoming space.
I kind of like where shes going with the playroom. maybe invest in some actual board games.
In terms of upstairs the landing up there i would actually make it into a reading nook probably put bookcases there and actually fill them with books so the kids can choose books from there kind of like a little library section. and put those 2 chairs (if i had to) against one of the walls so kids can actually sit and read.
Finish the damn wardrobe room sort through all clothes and get rid of those that are ruined and wash and donate the ones that dont fit and are still in good condition.
Get jace a damn bed and if you dont want him out of his room put a saftey gate on his door but make sure theres nothing he can hurt him self with in his room. but for god sake get him a bed.
Milas room just reuse jaces cot and get it damn finished.
For the older girls sort there rooms probably islas make it more age appropriate with maybe even give her a double bed like esme and isla have and make it somewhere peaceful and relaxing for her.
Also heres a vlog lots will be interested in sort your garage out. Get rid of things you dont want or need anymore, whether is by bin, donate or reuse. weve all got a clutter place whether it be garge, draw cuboard ect. just sort it out.

In terms of educating your children at home. Having made the space in the kitchen for isla and esme id purchase 2 laptops, all new stationary and learning equipment. Id purchase CGP work books and guides alongside ks3/gcse level text books in the subjects esme wanted to learn. Id then create a schedule. theres online tools also such as mr hegety maths on youtube that can be great tools to learn. For isla id purchase the ks2/ks3 textbooks and learning resources such as textbooks in subjects that she wants to learn about. id research local trips to take at least once a week for example history coal mining museum or eden camp places local to you that you could take once a week. Id look at classes for example an art class for esme or music class or scouts or gymnastics even for example the day in the life class of nhs for isabelle which is happening near you sarah as i work near where you live somewhere they can go an meet people at least once a week. Id purchase isabelle the alevel psychology course from oxbridge learning at £745 you can pay it weekly or if you cannot afford that buy either the AQA PSychology textbook or edexcel version and get her the required textbooks that she needs to sit the 5 gcses she needs and 3 alevels she needs to follow up on her interest on psychology. Id use the nursery hours for jace to go to and develop and learn to play with others and get him some social activites and id take mila and jace to swim classes and such. Showing things like this on your vlogs would make you relatable again. Have a proper cookery lession where you actually make it from scratch so they learn mesurements and such. Get jace actual learning resources like full alphabet, numbers, learn to read. and let him partake in the baking. They need education, friends and routine to actually thrive in life and im sure they would appreciate that more in the long term especially when they grown up.

In terms of travelling. Stop the van nonsence get it cleared out and sold. and invest in a proper car that fits your family. If you want to travel accross europe use trains and planes. which train journeys accross europe is an amazing thing to do for example the train from milan to st mortiz is stunning. Having your children in a routine rather than a tin can would be much better because its clear to see on your face sarah you dont enjoy it neither do the kids but chris and his dumb ideas. If you want to travel for large periods do it in the recommeded time of the year for example europe in july and august is stunning (take it in the 6 weeks holidays) take 1 week breaks or weekend breaks to london or bath or liverpool and learn the history or book actually tourist things rather than spend money paying for tolls and petrol its not cheaper in the long run and your loosing out on actually enjoying the house youve spent large amounts of money on. Its time to get settled in life now and those kids need you to take control and do it. Id think they would appreciate better quality holidays which the memories would last a lifetime rather than the tin can holidays which they hate.

In terms of christmas gifts for the girls (because you said youve already got jace and milas)
Isabelle: concert tickets, maybe a spa day ticket (you can get these on wowcher for cheaper). vinyls, make up, perfume, ugg slippers quality pjamas, lush products, books, designer handbad (michael kors), jewellery, skincare, haircare. good pair of quality pjamas, pandora
Esme: quality art supplies, origami book, quality fabric, haircare, makeup, knitting books and supplies. Maybe an ipad and the producs used to draw designs on, a maniquin to use, art easel make a corner of her bedroom a creation station.
Isla: maybe some of the studio lab stuff, a microscope, a planetarium that you build and put on your ceiling, space kits, science kits. a trip to one of the mueums of her choice, some hair bits, some art/craft bits. books, things that she actually enjoys rather than underage tat, first bits of makeup.... AN IPAD,

Also go through your kids wardrobes get them all quality, decent clothes make sure they have a quality winter coat and winter shoes. Get rid of things that dont fit anymore. Get them in a dentist. Get them for Haircuts. Make sure they have quality meals. Not only will a routine help you sarah it be better for you all around you will get time to yourself too, your kids will have the required sleep, social, education and other needs met. Routine is important and valuable in allowing families to thrive in life. Look back sarah at 5 years ago your kids were at school you could go to the gym, have a coffee and generally get things done. the kids need you to step up and get some routine back into their lives. No one would comment on it actually they would praise you for it for putting the kids needs first. Mila will thrive, jace will become better behaved.
sorry for the bit of waffle, but sarah things like this would help your content get back to what originally made you and would make you relateable to your audience because thats why people watched you. Your audience wants to watch things relatable to them, so like christmas coming up maybe take kids to see santa, ice skating you live near south yorkshire go to sheffield ice rink near medowhall or doncaster dome or go bowling things that would actually interest your kids.
not to mention ‘ sweeeeeet clevaaaaa boi ‘
