MUM'S THE WORD

She's the super savvy editor of Glamour.com, has three kids and a filthy sense of humour. We love Natasha McNamara for her maternal honesty and ability to construct a Paddington Bear hat while under the influence

Number of kids?

Three. They're nine, four and one.

Worst mothering moment?

THERE ARE SO MANY. No really, there are. Just stand at the bottom of my street around 7am on a weekday morning. You'll get the picture.

Best mothering moment?

I'll sweat for days on end to make them the most ridiculously elaborate birthday cakes. And they seem pretty ok with the results.

Dinner party or play date?

Dinner, dinner, dinner.

Home or away?

Home because no one invites us round anymore.

Can’t live without…

Tea and wine. Both equally vital.

Can’t live with…

Ketchup. God who invented that shiz?

What’s the last thing you bought?

I just bought a straw hat and some red felt to make my four-year-old daughter a Paddington Bear hat for World Book Day. This will most definitely involve wine. Hopefully she won't cry when she sees it. It's 50/50.

Last call?

Nine-year-old daughter to reconsider her World Book Day costume. I've run out of ways to make her long blonde hair black and curly without making her a fire hazard. It didn't go well.

Most pukka thing you own?

Erm. Honestly. Right now my new dishwasher is up there. *hangs head in shame*

Most annoying thing other mother's say?

'Me time.' WTF?

Mothering is…

The only thing I know.
