So this happened last night….
It never changes…including @eoincmacken turning up in pink dressing gowns.
Thanks so much to @redemptionpaws for hosting an amazing charity quiz, and seriously well done to @bradleyjames who was of course excellent at the helm, and steered the ship to a very successful virtual evening. Huge love to all the Merlin fans that joined us for it, you guys are the best 🙏🏼
Got so much love for these boys.
Knighthood on tv, a brotherhood in reality 💙
Freddie Hops, in my opinion, encompasses what life should be about. He doesn’t care about materialistic things…he doesn’t moan about having “this toy” or “that toy” for Christmas or his birthday.
What I adore about Freddie, more than anything, is the things he gets the most enjoyment out of in life.
Being outside, running, laughing for the sake of laughing, watching trees blowing in the wind like it’s the most naturally beautiful thing he’s ever seen, standing in the rain wearing….well, very little…and just letting it cover him till he’s soaking wet, just because he loves the feeling of it on his skin. Freddie appreciates all the free awesomeness in life that I know I certainly take for granted. I don’t take the time to enjoy those things because “life” gets in the way.
But every time I see him enjoying these natural moments that we’re given, he reminds me what this thing called life is really all about.
I always say to @laurahopperhops, and usually after a heated discussion about something that really doesn’t matter, as I watch Freddie running around outside giggling his little head off at the rain falling on his face…
“you know what beaut, we could all benefit from being a little bit more like Freddie Hopper”
It’s official folks! July 31st, we’re back!
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first ever Earth Locker Live! Plenty more to come! If you missed this barrel of fun with myself and my partner in crime @rozzymikes…dont panic! You can get get the full episode if you go follow @theearthlocker and watch it all on IGTV. Enjoy! We certainly did!
So @laurahopperhops makes the BEST dark chocolate coconut & almond flour cookies. I mean they’re meant for the kids, but I might sneak the odd one they’re so good😋
Absolutely zero sugar, and only sweetened with a little monk fruit from @lakanto.
I’ve actively noticed Freddie becoming less and less addicted to sugar and sweet things in general in the last year. Which a little over a year ago we thought was impossible to do for him, as all he wanted to eat was sugary processed food.
This cookie is made with 100% cocoa from @montezumaschocs, very little sweetness from the monk fruit, as we don’t want him to get too much of a taste for overly sweet things, but at the same time we want him to have treats! This is the perfect balance for Freddie and he LOVES them. His taste buds have changed dramatically, and he no longer desires the high level of sugar that once had a very negative affect on his little body. He’s doing so well, and I love seeing his beautiful face light up eating these. Dark chocolate of this quality has some really excellent health benefits for the brain and the body in general, so he’s winning all round with these👍🏼 So nice to give him a treat knowing it won’t give him a spike and then a crash, he stays level and that makes life a lot easier for Freddie…..and us 😅
#foodismedicine
We spoke about a lot on that Insta live and some stuff maybe got missed! I want you to know some of the amazing things I’ve discovered that help us. Here’s a round up and a few tips that I use in my day to day to make life easier and healthier.
Blue light protection glasses, big help to prevent overuse of screen time headaches! @baxterblue_
Sweet tooth craving -guilt free and actually healthy alternative.
Anti inflammatory Turmeric- get it without tasting it!
@myviome – here’s what it is!
Monkfruit explained! @lakanto @buddhafruit
How to make healthy foods you think are bland and tasteless a little more exciting, but won’t pack on the pounds like a sugary store bought sauce!
Big up @hunterandgatheruk
@primalkitchenfoods
Also…thanks @laurahopperhops for mocking my ability to get cumin instead of cinnamon out of the cupboard

🍉WATERMELON🍉- Lots of people are afraid of buying watermelon, me included until @laurahopperhops showed me how to cut up! It’s so easy to do, and it’s a great snack to have in the fridge for a small cost if you buy them whole! Super high in vitamin C and lower in sugar than a lot of fruits! Put in to a container or bowl covered in bees wrap or a BPA free container, it can be waaaay cheaper than buying it already chopped in wasteful plastic, and you make it last around a week for snacking! Boom! Enjoy! Kids will love it too
Join me LIVE today at 20:30GMT…
I’ll be discussing with Kirk Haworth (@kirk_haworth) a chef with the food is medicine mindset (🙌🏼) how we can stay as healthy as possible in these times.
From our own experiences, we’ll be talking about all the small changes and the bigger changes we’ve made in our own lives, that have massively benefited our physical and mental health. We’d love for you to join us for the chats! Big love to all! Hope to see you there today 26th April, 20:30GMT
This vid I’ve done myself as I’m talking about Freddie’s diet. I’m very passionate about food and health. This is part of our journey with Freddie. Big thank you shout to my friends at @myviome🙏🏼
@laurahopperhops
Workouts are tricky when we’re all at home right? Especially if we have kids! So I’ve teamed up with @menshealthmag to give you a another little Hopper hit! This will help keep you and your family active during the quarantine period. Even better, @laurahopperhops shows us the modified version to make it accessible for everyone!
Link in my bio! Enjoy!
Join me and @laurahopperhops LIVE this Wednesday at 8pm GMT where we’ll be chatting to Jeff and Amy, the Co-Founders of @hunterandgatheruk who are an innovative food and supplement brand with a focus on Optimal Health! 🙌
We will be discussing some of our top real food learnings that together we have gathered before and since Freddie was diagnosed with Autism, and how we have utilised real food to make a difference to both Freddie’s and our own lives.
If you have any questions that you would like to ask during our chat with Hunter & Gather, please pop them below in the comments or DM us!
Thanks @lovetheoceans for the nomination of the 2.6 challenge!
I nominate my Umbrella academy co-star and co-host of our new podcast @theearthlocker @rozzymikes…and my other co-host @thedungareedad although they hardly ever check Instagram so probably won’t see this! Wake up fellas!
Also @bradleyjames and @eoincmacken for trolling my Instagram live last night 🤨 You’re welcome boys 😁
Truly being chased in slow mo = Chewbacca….but slightly less hairy
So proud of my amazing wife @laurahopperhops talking about this. It’s been a huge struggle, at times, in our marriage. But, as always, she’s a warrior and is winning the battle against anxiety. ❤️
That time of the week again folks! Join us Live on @theearthlocker tomorrow night Sunday 17th at 20:30gmt!
See you there!
