About me

Hi! I’m Vicki, multi-award winning lifestyle blogger, parenting expert and bestselling author of Mumboss-The Honest Mum’s Guide To Surviving and Thriving at Work and at Home (UK)/ The Working Mom (US + Ca).

I’m a mum of two boys aged 11 and 8 with a rainbow baby girl due in the winter. I live in Windsor, UK, with my husband Peter and growing family. If you would like to work with me, please email me at mum@honestmum.com. You can read more about me here. .

Did you catch my son Oliver, 11, and I on @bbcnews

Did you catch my son Oliver, 11, and I on @bbcnews earlier discussing the vaccination roll-out for 12-15 year olds which he’ll be eligible for in a few months? The programme will help protect the vulnerable, minimise infection and prevent more missed education as the pandemic peaks again during the winter. I’m pro vaccination but Oliver is still on the fence although he is keen to protect others and stay in school. We chatted about parental consent and the responsibility of schools to inform and support children and parents alike to make informed decisions as well as social media handles duty to regulating information. It made for an interesting, candid and nuanced conversation. I’ll share it here tomorrow. You can also catch us on @bbc5live discussing the topic in the morning 📺 📻. In other related news, it is was lovely being back on telly with my boy. They say never work with children or animals but it really is always a pleasure with my son-shines ☀️. #covid #vaccine #vaccinations #honestmum #parenting #bbcnews

Yesterday was incredibly traumatic as someone clos

Yesterday was incredibly traumatic as someone close to me (who doesn’t want me to share their identity) choked for what seemed like an eternity. My family and I thought they were going to die in front of our eyes. It was horrific. The single worst experience of my life and I’ve experienced some scary things. I feel so deeply grateful to @daisyfirstaid @daisyfirstaidbracknell @daisyfirstaidleeds who have taught me first aid for both adults and babies/children twice over the years because last night I knew exactly what to do, the training instantly returned and my close friend @drjulietmcgrattan and the doctors who treated the patient in hospital after, said I saved this person’s life. Please prioritise first aid and take a course ASAP. It’s so easy to think the worst won’t ever happen but we all know that’s sadly not reality. Please also hold your loved ones extra tightly. I feel so thankful that all ended well here when it so easily couldn’t have. Thank you Juliet @drjulietmcgrattan for being there for me then and always, you’re a true friend. Juliet told me the adrenaline surge pregnant, is the equivalent of me running a marathon so I’ll be resting for the foreseeable! #firstaid #life #mum #honestmum #savingalife #crisis #pregnant #thirdtrimester #firstaidtraining

🌳 Camera roll dump of a lush time in Leeds 👉👈🌲. What a much needed nourishing 10 days in Yorkshire with family and friends (most I’ve known since I was 13!). Heading back to Berkshire now for a million cuddles with the husband who had to stay and work, and the start of a new school term 🏫 and my third trimester🤰. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so incredibly special, we love you all ❤️ #family #summer #summer2021 #Leeds #Yorkshire #friendship #friendsreunion #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #baby #familytime #familyiseverything

🌺 I’m 27 weeks today and the baby is now the size of a cabbage 🥬! My bump has well and truly popped🤰! It was such a treat to experience a 4D scan this time around and with the children and my parents present too. I can see both my boys in her already, Oliver’s 35 week scan is almost identical! Aww, we all love you so much baby girl 🌸 💜 🧿 🌈 ♥️ #babygirl #4dscan #4D #27weekspregnant #scan #rainbowbaby #pregnancy #pregnant #mumboss #momboss #baby #thirdtrimester
