Women for Women : We ask Denise Van Outen – how do you manage to maintain a healthy work-life balance?

(via Denise Van Outen interview - Good Housekeeing celebrity interview | Good Housekeeping)   As a busy mum and performer, how do you manage to maintain a healthy work-life balance? My life’s changed a lot because [my daughter] Betsy is 4 now. Before I was a real city girl, but now I live out in the country – I’ve got a vegetable garden. I wanted Betsy to grow up knowing where vegetables come from, so it’s really nice that when she finishes nursery we can go into the vegetable garden, she can grow her own vegetables and we can cook them together. As a parent, you want to give them the life you never had – in the 1980s, my meals consisted of crispy pancakes, oven-ready chips and fish fingers. My diet was very different, so I’m trying to educate her. If I want to set a good example, I need to change my own eating habits.
