Katy Hill's working mum diary - Katy Hill

As a Blue Peter presenter Katy Hill had her fair share of adventures, but these days she faces tougher challenges - juggling full-time motherhood with a TV career. From Daybreak to day’s end, Katy and husband Trey have their hands full with a five-year-old daughter and toddler son. And there’s not a nanny in sight. This could get messy…

As excited as the boy from THAT John Lewis ad!

Yes - it’s SO close now, and I can’t remember being this excited for Christmas since I was about 10 and I got the pair of fur lined boots I’d been coveting all winter!  The edge went off Christmas for me in those teenage years, when aunts started giving surreal presents (tea...

The countdown has begun!

I always know Christmas is officially on it’s way when we head to Winter Wonderland in London’s Hyde Park. SO much fun for all of us! Father Christmas, ice skating, rides, hot chocolate and mulled wine? What’s not to love! The atmosphere is amazing as it starts to get dark and the...

And...I’m back in the room!

Our St Lucia trip with Daybreak was amazing. Such a great resort! I’ll be sure to let you know when the competition launches so you can get on the phone!    But long before landing, the military precision I had to leave behind was quite something! The house was covered...

Maximum effort - maximum effect!

Hope you’re having an amazing half term!   Trey and I always joke that being a parent is a bit like that nursery rhyme about Michael Finnegan...'Michael Finnegan...Begin again.' Just as your day with the kids is over, it doesn’t feel like very long before...

If you can’t say something nice...

So there’s a new mum at school.  And for some reason, every time she opens her mouth to me, she says something ridiculous!  Seriously – it’s like she doesn’t have that chip that tells you to keep your thoughts inside – she just can’t help herself! It...

If the shoe fits...

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been obsessed with footwear.   Trouble is, I’ve got wide feed. I used to cry as a kid, and tell my parents they should have thought before pro-creating, since they both have wide feet, so they should have realized that two wides make...

What a week!

We started with the most fun morning out EVER! I spent my childhood exercising other peoples ponies, dreaming of one day having my own. That dream never came true (!) but I thought I’d give the kids a taste of being in the saddle at Pony Pursuits in Oxfordshire. It’s run...

Happy Back to School week! Or pre-school, or starting school, or last year of school…or even Uni! Whichever scenario is being played out in the life of your family, that first day back is an achievement all around. We celebrated the end of the hols at a Festival last weekend, and...
