Welcome back to this blog post and video linky.

About me

Honest Mum

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

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.

A million thank yous to everyone for sharing my bo A million thank yous to everyone for sharing my book #mumboss (this isn’t even everyone you absolute sweethearts) 🥰. If you want actionable advice on how to create a thriving, flexible digital career, head to the link in my bio and check out my bestselling book 📖 . You deserve to inform and empower yourself in 2020 queens-absolutely anything and everything is possible, my journey is proof of that. After a traumatic birth with my first son back in 2010, I felt utterly broken/lacking in confidence. I started my blog honestmum.com during mat leave from an inflexible directing career (12 hour days at that) that didn’t work around my baby. Thank goodness the internet exploded and my blog and social channels became my career, a career that pays the bills and means I make the school-run, too. Read how you can do it for yourself 💪
Christmas dinner is served. Mum @honestgrandma jus Christmas dinner is served. Mum @honestgrandma just told me if I break her 100 year old china, there’ll be no Port after dinner. FYI I’m the clumsy one in the family which saves me from clearing-up duties at least. Seriously so good to be home (always sleep better in my old bedroom here than anywhere else in the 🌍). Thank you to my friend @maricabamboo for the stunning floral festive arrangement from her shop @bambooflowersuk she gifted me. What are you guys up to? I had a disco nap after breakfast and it was literally the highlight of 2019 for me 😴
Ladies and gentlemen, my children 🤪🤪! Seriou Ladies and gentlemen, my children 🤪🤪! Seriously though, a huge thank you for all your dms, comments and touching kindness all year long, you guys keep me going and help me remember why I share my life on the crazy internet ;)! Big thanks too to @cyberjammies for my comfy, gorge Christmas pjs (#gift #ad), my girl @feedmebeautiful for my leopard print cozy socks and to my Mum, @honestgrandma for making everything super special (and tasty) back home in Leeds. There’s really nowhere quite like home 🏠. Hope you all have a fab festive period filled with lots of love and laughter 💓. Merry Christmas you filthy animals 😘
Take Your Dad to Work Day is here again (Papa G wa Take Your Dad to Work Day is here again (Papa G was with me at @bbcbreakfast last week too)! Today on Christmas Eve, I’m recording an hour show for @bbc5live from the studio @bbcradioleeds. Tune into a very festive show on @bbc5live from 13.20 for an hour of chat. I’ve loved being a regular on the School Runnings show this year, always so thought-provoking and fun 📻 (Wearing lush gifted knee highs c\o @lotusshoes1759 and gorge #gifted earrings and necklace by @the.jewellery.makers 😘 #gift #ad).

Know your worth, people 💪🙌. Also, huge thank you to everyone who messaged me recently to say they’ve bought themselves my bestselling book #Mumboss for Christmas and those who kindly shared their copy, I hope it liberates and empowers you (I’ve shared how to build a business/ personal brand and earn £££ around your family in it-link in the bio 📖).

I missed seeing this in the @guardian 📰 in Nov I missed seeing this in the @guardian 📰 in Nov as I got my dates mixed up (why is life so damn draining at this time of year?)...I wish I’d seen it in print to be honest as it marks a highly important milestone for me 😉😉🤪 as it’s the first time I’ve ever worn a headband in a shoot (thanks for the push @ljstyling and promising me I wouldn’t look like my former awkward 12 year old headband-wearing small fore-headed self (still got the small forehead obvs), and thanks to my Mum @honestgrandma for her fab matching earrings I borrowed forever 😝 last time I saw her, tagged other items). Anyway, the piece is online now if you fancy a look-see and features mine and @stefbottinelli’s festive stress-busting tips. To be fair, my hack is a bit of a Christmas cop-out as we often go away but I promised my Mum we’d head back to Leeds this year and I can’t wait to be honest, stress and all 🤪! I’ve even bought my Dad and husband matching shirts for the big day 😂! Link in the bio 📱. What are your plans for the festive season? 🎄 (This is a collab with @americanexpressuk #ad).
Progress 💪 Progress 💪
I have so much respect for Catherine, the Duchess I have so much respect for Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge and her vital work in the Early Years and this documentary with Mary Berry was such a joy to watch. It offered us greater access and insight into the Cambridges’ personalities, lives and vital charity work. Both are so incredibly warm and giving. Did you watch it?
Thanks so much to fab blogger @bethbluu for what h Thanks so much to fab blogger @bethbluu for what has to be the prettiest flatlay of my book #mumboss I’ve ever seen 😻! Thank you for buying my book Beth! So grateful for everyone’s love, suppprt, shares and the overwhelming response to my labour of ❤️ aka third baby since its release in May 2018. It’s surpassed all my expectations. Women have even stopped me on the street to say it’s changed their lives as they’ve left their jobs, started new businesses or simply felt more confident at work and at home because of it. Many have said they feel more seen, heard and understood because of the book. In it I share everything I know about building a personal digital brand that works around your family from how to find your voice, self-worth and build a business which resonates and works around raising your kids. @marieclaireuk said this about it, ‘A must-read for any woman looking to balance a career with motherhood’ 💪! Link in the bio. Why not buy it for yourself or a pal this Christmas?! ❤️. Plug over 🤣.
