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.

You can read more about me here.

Instagram post 2196757947076677664_537862275 MOOD 😖😤😬😢. Alexander’s earlier today, and mine 😡. This is an old photo when he used to tantrum so often as a toddler, taking a pic of him mid cry (bless him) wasn’t hard. I’m equally feeling annoyed, drained and near meltdown myself. So much so, I’ve put my Out Of Office on my emails so I can take a breather. Life, work, Christmas prep and the endless juggle feels stifling at the mo. When it came to Xander 7’s tantrum earlier, he started shouting because I missed his ten billionth question because I was on the phone to my Mum on a busy, loud street, and he lost it. I shouted back fisherman’s wife style (who I’m presuming were kindly bestowed that titled because they would shout out to the high seas and their absent husbands in sheer exhaustion from the childcare load). Anyway, now I feel bad. A bad mum. I know I’m not, I’m just human but I was Shouty Mum tonight. My kid clearly takes after me 🤪. I’ve apologised. We’ve hugged...He’s not sleeping well either which could be why he’s more emotional. He’s been waking up in the middle of the night and coming into our bed and I’ve lost track how long this has gone on for. Chatting it through with him, it seems his imagination is in complete overdrive (he mentioned cartoon aliens or something). Any advice gratefully received 🙏. Argh, isn’t it the most wonderful time of the year 😩! Anyone else feeling a tiny bit broken right now, too?
Instagram post 2194570561488042829_537862275 My kids have mostly been little sh*** this weekend in all honesty but for 6 hot minutes there they stopped squabbling and asked, yes asked, to be in a photo with their long-suffering mum. Hands up who else is having one of those weekends? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Something that did make me smile this weekend was sequinned jumper of dreams by @jjboutiqueuk and soft faux fur leopard print cross bag I’ve not taken off (#gift #ad). Definitely feeling more festive thanks to the sparkles and our tree is being delivered tomorrow (cue more arguments no doubt)...I usually ask, ‘Is it nearly the weekend?’ but roll on Monday I say and some peace and quiet!

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 📸

Two queens reside in Windsor now 🤪. Too funny 😂) #ad
