I was asked by two high-profile programmes on terrestrial TV if they could document my business/journey and earnings late last year and I said no. I was also approached by several popular tabloids for the story too. Again, I refused. I wanted to share my story in my own words. I’m writing this to inspire others […]
The month of January has seen me embark on Veganuary, an initiative many take part in each year, which aims to reduce the suffering of animals by inspiring and supporting people all over the world to go vegan for the first month of the year. After a summer of plant-based eating last year, and feeling better […]
We’ve reached a time where there is increasingly less of a distinction between TV and online platforms when it comes to how we view content. As viewers, we want to be our own scheduler, to watch ‘on demand’ in whichever format and platform we wish, and at a time that suits us. Yes, there are some big […]
Although I’ve dreamt of becoming a TV Presenter since childhood, if you’d asked me a few years ago if I thought I’d actually ever have the opportunity to present on primetime UK TV, I’d definitely have said no. Hell no, in fact. Yet since becoming a professional blogger, I’ve started to realise anything is possible […]

It has taken me 2 and half years since the birth of my youngest son, Alexander, to feel confident in a bikini again. Although I’d donned one pieces while on holiday or in the garden, I felt I couldn’t wear a bikini after 2 babies (and 2 c-sections). However, over the last year, my confidence […]
I’ve just returned from an absolute whirlwind of a long weekend at the largest, and most glamorous film festival in the world: The Cannes Film Festival. Here I share my adventures, firstly in a film of my time there (shot by myself and my publicist and friend Hayley who was out there with me and […]
Taken at BritMums Live 2014 with Mirka of All Baby Advice & Fitness 4 Mamas I love, love, love BritMums Live, I’ve written about it ever since I started blogging back in 2010, because it has, and always will have, a very special place in my heart. You see I was a finalist in the […]
Blogging is a wonderfully diverse and democratic world isn’t it?! When I first started my blog Honest Mum in November 2010, lost, lonely and suffering from a traumatic birth with my first son Oliver, I would never have believed that the small space of mine on the internet would one day become my full time […]
I love a festive film, it really warms the cockles and heralds the start of Christmas for this family, be it on the big screen or curled up on the sofa, the fire blazing, a hot chocolate in hand… This year, I can’t wait to share classic Christmas films with my 4, nearly 5 year […]

Ah January, it’s a bit of a dreary month post Christmas and New Year, but fear not, the movies are here to help lift your spirits and make you feel happy again! I like to spend as much of these cold pre-spring months curled up in front of the fire, watching feel good films and […]

My three year old fell in love with the cinema properly this summer and as a filmmaker that meant a lot to me. Moving image: cinema, tv is such a powerful medium, it takes you across time, geography, to other worlds, into people’s minds and is quite simply emotion on screen. It can captivate, touch […]
Congratulations Kate and Wills on the happy news of your baby boy, The Prince of Cambridge who was born safely yesterday at 4.24pm, weighing 8 lbs 6 oz. It’s not just the family who’s celebrating. Outside Buckingham Palace, across the world and on my twitter feed congratulatory words and happy sentiment were in full swing. […]
OK, I have no idea exactly what’s in store for Kate but news stories are speculating that she will stay with her mother when her baby is born, shunning maternity nurses and nannies initially. Speaking from experience, (and if you’re close to your Mum of course and she’s around), that is quite frankly the best […]
