Hey Friends~ 

Ever wondered what it's like to raise kids with less technology and more nature? 

Today’s guest is Debbie Martin, she shares her experience of moving her family from the city to the countryside to give her two boys, aged seven and five, a better life. 

Debbie explains how living off the grid with limited Wi-Fi and screen time has made her children happier, more creative, and better behaved. She talks about the benefits of outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and building with Legos, and how these changes have helped with her kids' ADHD symptoms. 

Debbie's story shows the positive impact of less technology and more nature on family life.

Always cheering you on!

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
