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.

Instagram post 2191717852355255313_537862275 Anyone else feeling emotionally and physically exhausted with the load that is motherhood at the moment? My husband commented I need a holiday the other day-think I need a solo flipping holiday. Can’t wait to head home to my folks over Christmas so I can be a child myself again. Sending love to all my fellow mamas holding everything together. I see you, I hear you, I am you ❤️. Illustration by epic talent @designsbykarina of a photo by creative hero @takenword for @metro.co.uk . Thank you both 🙏
Instagram post 2190723493565205561_537862275 The @metro.co.uk came to photograph us in our rented apartment in Windsor if you fancy a snoop around (Link is in the bio). Brexit has prevented us from selling our house in Yorkshire but hopefully we’ll sell next year and buy in Berkshire. More pics in the piece. Thank you Jerry @takenword for your super pics and being such a joy to work with 📸

Loving this pic with my boy as we pretended to be tourists in our home town of Windsor earlier (a PR once posted me an unsolicited gift addressed to ‘Honest Mum, Windsor Castle’ the postman kindly redirected to my PO Box as he recognised the name. Two queens reside in Windsor now 🤪. Too funny 😂) #ad

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?
