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_uk 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. Read about it at honestmum.com 🌊
Instagram post 2174419663508679631_537862275 ❤️Back from the best weekend with my best friend of 27 years (!) @carlie.leanne and our families at dreamy 5 star @100queensgate hotel in Kensington who kindly invited us all to spend a weekend in London to play tourists together (video to come and stories in my London highlight). The weekend was extra special because today, I celebrated my 9 year blogiversary at honestmum.com (thanks for the bubbles Sian @100queensgate, I felt tipsy after 1 glass 🤣)! But wow, 9 years!!!! I’ll always be grateful to my great uni pal @theladyoftheworld for pestering me to set up a blog on Nov the 10th, 2010 at a time I felt broken after a traumatic birth with my first son and craved a creative outlet but wasn’t ready to get back on set as a TV Director (my former job). I wasn’t the person you see today, then. Walking to the corner shop, let alone sharing my thoughts online, felt unbearable, a black cloud persistently hanging over me, yet somehow post by post, I slowly built back my confidence, and identity. Blogging plus CBT and a move closer to my folks helped me to piece myself back together again. My blog provided me with an accidental career, and a flexible one at that which grew into a personal brand. There are too many highlights to mention but writing my book Mumboss is up there and of course working with people I’ve admired my whole life (interviewing Kim Cattrall, Jamie Oliver, Westlife and more) plus popping up on the box regularly has ticked off some childhood dreams. Next, alongside my blog, comes a new, exciting company I’m launching with my business partners @lucygriffithsdotcom and @jackfreud which will help mobilise a great many mums worldwide. I can’t wait to share more with you in the coming months, after a year in development...Thank you all for sticking by, for reading, caring and also sharing your own lives with me in dms, comments and when you’ve attended my book tour events. I’ll never be able to adequately express how much it all means to me. The greatest lessons I’ve learned in 9 years is to believe in yourself, content is king, reach out for help from those who love you and trust that anything is possible in these digital times. #ad #gift
Instagram post 2172815466145115782_537862275 Throwback to Wednesday and speaking to 75 incredible fellow Yorkshire mumbosses at the brilliant, inclusive, warm and wonderful @yorksinstameet at the majestic @castle_howard in York 🏰! Thanks so much to my fellow neighbour @peonyandgrace, @drs.wife and @theyorkshirehouseproject for inviting me back ‘home’ to Yorkshire to speak about my 9 year blogging and vlogging journey: an accidental career I pivoted into during maternity-leave, back in 2010 after a TV directing career. I started blogging utterly broken after the birth of my first son, I was lacking in confidence and felt directionless but blogging and social media were an emotional lifeline at first, and later a flexible way to work around my family. On the day, I spoke candidly about trying to balance work/home life, overcoming trauma, trolling, and how best to utilise and monetise digital media in the most meaningful and fulfilling way. I hope my biggest takeaway for others was something I’ve come to learn myself from therapy: the importance of leaning on yourself, and trusting yourself, removing the need for external validation. One of the many exercises my therapist advocated has been to TRULY absorb compliments when they’re given rather than instantly shun them as a default. To focus on kind words for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute so they’re fully registered and absorbed. By doing this, and consistently, you purposefully build a lattice of armour, a greater sense of self, and resilience. We must commit to relearning historical, inherited negativity and equally must work on ‘boundaries’ (saying ‘no’, not feeling a duty to those we don’t want to be around etc). Thanks to @fox_lane_books for supporting the book signing and huge thanks to Castle Howard for the pretty holiday cottage my folks and I moved into for the trip. Thanks too to the wonderful @the.jewellery.makers for my stunning silver earrings and ‘Honest’ engraved necklace. Touching the pendant’s letters make me feel grounded and calm. Massive thanks to @charlottenelsonphotography for these wonderful photos that capture the beauty of Castle Howard, and the joy of the day. Thx to @ljstyling for styling me + @paisielondon for the pretty dress #ad

Instagram post 2166957643221795082_537862275 Watch out Windsor 🤣! Couldn’t find a less scary sight to be fair, especially with both wearing my warmest scarves. First time out the house since Oliver’s ear op (we’ve all got cabin fever) so need to keep warm. Can’t stop laughing at this pic. Sorry kids. Have your children forced you to knock on your neighbours’ doors begging for sweets, too? And no, I’m not dressed up for it!!!
