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…

Epic Mummy fail!

Hey peeps... Hope you had a brilliant Easter and you’re enjoying the last bit of the Easter hols,even though it’s been a bit of a wash out! I guess those last few weeks of school lured us into a false sense of spring! The first sign of sun and I washed and packed all our winter clothes...

Too exciting... We're expecting!

It all started, appropriately, on Mothers Day morning. We’ve had two mallards set up home in our garden. The kids have called them Quackers and Rosie (don’t ask!) and every morning we’ve watched them at breakfast and the kids have taken great delight in feeding them. Then,...

Should we censor our children's reading?

Katy Hill with CBeebies presenters Kellie and Alex

So - World Book Day came and went... along with some frightening statistics on literacy and the fact that one in six people in the UK can’t read and write properly. And perhaps even more shocking is the fact the number of parents reading to their children is woefully low, with some children...

On yer Bike, love!

Before Christmas I bought the kids a new sledge. Then it didn’t snow over Christmas, and since I didn’t want yet ANOTHER thing to store, I took it back a week ago! (cue the Family Fortunes EH-EH buzzer!) EPIC MUMMY FAIL! Thankfully we still had our sledges from a few years back, so we...

Breakfast at Katy's

This picture makes me laugh. It was sent to me on Twitter this week (@KatyHillTV) by a guy called Carl, who made it because I told him Breakfast at Tiffany's was one of my favorite films. And it is! But it made me laugh at how the reality of my breakfasts these days as a mum couldn’...

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...
