About me

Honest Mum

Hi, I’m Vicki, mum of two, blogger, vlogger, author and former filmmaker and TV director.

I recently won Inspirational Role Model of the Year at the MPower Awards as well as Best Baby and Parenting Blog for Honest Mum at the UK Blog Awards 2019.

I often pop up on TV as both a presenter and parenting expert (regularly appearing on BBC News and ITV) and I’ve spoken about maternal rights and flexible working as well as perinatal mental health in the House of Commons.

Career highlights include interviewing superstar actress Kim Cattrall and pop group, Westlife.

If you’d like to work with me, please email me at vicki@honestmum.com.

Instagram post 2187315765345801437_537862275 My new column is out in seriously gorge glossy @berkshirelifemagazine’s festive edition with mentions for @katiepiper_ @meatlessfarm @rspublichealth @itvnews @skynews @thejellylounge and @fafaspitauk.

Buy it as always, in all good supermarkets in Berkshire and Buckingham or subscribe...Oliver was excited to see it on the tills of our local M&S today when we popped in for bread ❤️. Well done @sarahrodiedits on another stellar issue, I love writing for you guys 🙌
Instagram post 2187099065774105623_537862275 We love our library 📚 so much and not just because they have a copy of my book MUMBOSS in there 🤪! Photo here from my morning homeschooling Oliver in the children’s area (what I don’t know about the Tudors now nobody knows let me tell you) and beautiful baby Grace @maricabamboo @bambooflowersuk joined us too. Look at the cuteness here as Oliver reads to Gracey. He just loves babies and keeps asking for one (and a dog)! I’ll miss my boy madly when he starts school again soon but we’ll always have the precious memories of the past 3 weeks together. What a resilient, caring and self-motivated child. (More about what’s been going on, on the blog honestmum.com 💻). He’s definitely taught me more than I’ve taught him ❤️
Instagram post 2185740104860920631_537862275 Christmas reading sorted. Thanks to my book editor @jillianlefort @piatkus_living for these thought-provokers 📚 out soon! (#gift #ad). What are you reading at the mo?

Instagram post 2183812400553089704_537862275 *Saturday night*...The best night with my best mate Will who I’m accidentally twinning with here 🤪. I actually counted the years we’ve known each other tonight (while feeling 100 years old) and it’s been 20 years!!! We met during our uni days in our late teens on a Saturday job at Tiger Tiger (we spent most of the time dancing to be honest so think we got sacked early on) and have been inseparable since 👫...I share so much about the sisterly women in my life here but I’m just as grateful for the incredible men: my husband @peter_broadbent, my pals and colleagues who deserve some space and appreciation (even though I have to wrestle them for pics because literally all the men I know are camera-hating shy guys 🤷🏻‍♀️). Well, Will is getting another square tonight as it’s been a while (and I can’t believe people dmed me last time I shared him here to say you know him, what a small world we live in). So some friendship milestones first: Will coming with me to an MTV audition I didn’t get, being able usher at my wedding, letting me mother him before I became a mum (he always says if it wasn’t for me he would never have eaten at uni), a million nights out, revising in the park, trips to the National Portrait Gallery (Will told me at 19 one day I’d feature...still waiting) and so much more. I love that we share so much history (the uni years were pretty wild and re-living the madness always makes me smile). Seriously though, Will has been there for me through so much. Too many times to mention in fact but I’ll mention one I’ll never forget and that was Will talking me through my big thyroid op step by step, pre surgery (he’s an anaesthetist) to help prepare and calm me and then calling me from the US as soon as I was out of theatre despite his crazy schedule during his fellowship at Harvard, spending an hour reassuring me when I felt frightened by the drugs’ side effects. I feel so grateful to Will for his unconditional love and enduring friendship and most of all, his crazy dance moves. Thanks to my one in a mil Will who makes life better ❤️
Instagram post 2182895439807562309_537862275 What a night hey @ljstyling! Thank you @virginemi for inviting me to spend an evening in the company of the ledge that is Elton John. Can’t wait to get stuck into his autobiography ❤️
Instagram post 2181285106831733471_537862275 So proud of Oliver, 9, who was back on live TV today, on the Victoria Derbyshire Programme with Jo Gosling on BBC2 discussing the pros of tech use. As Oliver said, ‘it’s all about moderation’. Yes we should moderate use, particularly with the under 5s as a new report suggests but let’s not parent-bash as the life/work juggle is tough and children gain so much from tech use too. Oliver is currently being home schooled as he awaits a new school place and is using an online educational platform based on the National Curriculum he’s loving. He equally enjoys YouTube as much as the great outdoors. It’s all about balance and not beating ourselves up. Did you catch us? What are your thoughts on tablet use with kids?
