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 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?
Instagram post 2180856138164913486_537862275 Was only invited to an evening with @eltonjohn! Thank you @virginemi for the invite and my date @ljstyling for coming along. Wow. We laughed, we cried, Elton cried, what a night and what a privilege to hear about his work, life, being a Dad and his stories of the most moving times with John Lennon and Freddie Mercury ❤️. @dwalliams interviewed Elton and it was such a touching, emotive and uplifting evening I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to read Elton’s autobiography Me Elton John, out now (Wearing gifted stunning blouse c/o @miagiacca_handmade) #gift #ad
Instagram post 2180051569801049181_537862275 #Ad. Excerpt from latest post at honestmum.com on the vital @_work180. ‘Michelle Obama once said: ‘Success is about the difference you make in people’s lives’. And, honestly, I’m not sure if this mantra applies to anyone more than Work180 founder, Valeria. Valeria Ignatieva’s career was the last thing on her mind when she discovered her son had a disability. ‘I was a single parent, and I had a great career,’ said Ignatieva. ‘All of a sudden, I had to look at more flexible working options for myself, and I was knocked back time and time again.’ This process was incredibly unproductive for both Ignatieva and the companies she was interviewing due to the obvious flaws in the hiring process. ‘I’d be applying for jobs, and they would say things like: ‘You’re the ideal candidate, but unfortunately, we need someone nine to five.’ I became very, very discouraged … It wasn’t so much the time-wasting; it was more about the heartbreak at the end.’ In response to all of the roadblocks Valeria had stumbled upon when trying to find flexible work, she founded Work180. A variety of strong, inspirational, driven women from across the globe have utilised the Work180 system and almost instantaneously its positive implications, bearing the fruit of a uniquely supportive and nurturing system. Work180 is helping fight the inequalities of the workplace by making the search for flexible employment for parents, easy and stress-free’. Read the rest at honestmum.com #work180
Instagram post 2179838913983479362_537862275 Happy Birthday to my favourite cousin @georgiasol (don’t tell the other 24589954 yeah 😉). Feeling so old rn that I remember the day you were born 👶! Good job we age backwards in this family 😛! Seriously though, you’re the most beautiful human inside and out and I love that we share so many special memories together. Remember the air hostess game we used to play when you were a toddler and I used to give you and @solonsol1992 biscuits on that little tray on wheels of Yiayia’s 😂! See you for more print-clashing over Christmas gorge 🤪😘😘😘
Instagram post 2179167975272898726_537862275 Must be my birthday (well, the day after) as my camera-shy husband Mr Honest Mum 🤪@peter_broadbent’s agreed to a photo! Pulling the dress up 🙈 to show you guys these gorge, super comfy @lotusshoes1759 knee-highs off, I’ve been living in for months. Thanks Lotus 😘. Also, thanks @honestgrandma for saving my oversized pink Forever 21 coat you can see here, I gave to her to drop off at the charity when I was home in Leeds last year (she gave my other bits to charity so don’t worry). I’ve actually fallen back in love with it and I’m not usually a fan of oversized anything. Do you like it? Also does your partner/insta husband hate being in front of the camera as much as mine? Thanks to the 9 year old for the 📸 #gift #ad
Instagram post 2178751294096767786_537862275 My birthday has become a blooming Oscar style speech if you follow the squares this way 👉👉👉and I’m def milking my 39th with a long weekend of celebrations because why not, hey, I’m grateful for another year and feel excited for the year ahead!!! Huge thank you to the divine @clivedenhouse and my good pal @jvmesrogers for the birthday eve of actual dreams on Friday, and for all the magical memories they’ve given me at Cliveden House Hotel over the years, I’m know how lucky l am...My great friend @hatdorable and I had the best day, we felt reborn after our massages and facials and both loved switching off, which is rare for us both. Full video to come but I wanted to share a little clip along with the latest birthday-related spam here ❤️. Truly, truly was the most perfect day. So much so, I came home and said to my husband @peter_broadbent that after after the days the kids were born and we got married, this came next in ranking of the best of days. Also reminded me how much I do day to day and how much more time I need to dedicate to self-care. Who’s with me? The mental load of raising kids and juggling a business can be intense. Going to hang onto the chilled vibes for as long as possible ✨✨✨ #gift #ad
Instagram post 2178724432129588487_537862275 ...Now if only these two would sleep, it would be a perfect birthday! Thank you @citadineseurope @studdedkissesblog for inviting us to your super Trafalgar Square hotel apartments and for the 🍾 and bi🎂 . Night for us all (hopefully) 🤞 #gift #ad
Instagram post 2178723046734210179_537862275 Thanks so much to my absolute faves @maroush for the most incredible plant-based 🌱 birthday meal of dreams tonight at the dreamy Maroush Gardens (there’s a waterfall in the centre of the restaurant). Their #vegan menu is out of this world (heavenly hummus, baba ghanouj, tabbouleh salad, falafel, aubergine and chickpea stew and fresh mint and lemon water + Lebanese red wine were the order of the day). I’ve been eating at Maroush since I was a kid and distinctly remember watching the belly dancers in awe as I was allowed to stay up late as we were on a family break in London... Feeling full to the brim with fab food and a whole lot of love from everyone’s kindness today. 39 is pretty👌so far! #gift #ad
Instagram post 2177940863824387164_537862275 Thank you @buyagift for a dreamy package experience on @londoneye and dinner @love_prezzo for my pals @carlie.leanne @james.berger14 and I, last weekend ❤️❤️❤️! #ad #gift #london #londoneye #prezzo #food #honestmum #mumboss #family #friends #londonlife #dayout #fun #pizza #3D #view
Instagram post 2177224139000334448_537862275 A new blog post is (finally) live on honestmum.com on our dreamy summer trip to Devon. The highlight was undoubtedly meeting up with old and new friends and their families, and all the uninterrupted quality time with Peter and the kids. It’s the people who make the holiday/wedding etc as my Mum always says, and wow did @feedmebeautiful @sparklesandstretchmarks @chrishtf @notlamb make it a special one. just as the waves on the shore do. I left, topped up with the unconditional love I witnessed and received, the vegan microwave chocolate mug cakes I ate most days (no wonder I put on 15 pounds this summer) and the cold water swims that pricked my thighs and eased my mind in a way I’ve not felt before.
