Nadia Sawalha and her husband Mark Adderley went live on YouTube on Thursday to share a very exciting announcement with their followers – they are releasing a book together! The couple shared the news in a live stream on their channel, The Sawalha-Adderleys, and revealed they already have big plans for its launch.
Admitting that some of their fans had already guessed what they had been working on, Nadia and Mark revealed that the book will be on homeschooling, following their decision to educate their daughters Maddie and Kiki-Bee at home five years ago.

The Loose Women star previously shared some of her homeschooling secrets with HELLO!, advising parents not to put too much pressure on themselves. "I'd also advise parents not to get bogged down with the idea that school has to start at 8am and finish at 3pm," she said. "Forget the constraints of the clock. You need to be flexible. When Kiki told me she needed a bit more sleep, I said: ‘Sure,’ and we started work later. "If you’re working from home, start early and let the kids sleep in,” says Nadia. “Teenagers study better after they’ve had more sleep."
We can't wait to see what other tips they have to share!
