“WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY!!” I overheard the tired frazzled mum yelling at her boy as he threw himself on the floor in a tantrum next to the shopping centre ride. Coming from a family of 6, I heard these words a lot growing up. It seemed we never had enough money for anything and without realising it, the subliminal message of what my parents were teaching me started to become ingrained in my...

After reading a post a while ago on The Imperfect Mum fb page , alarm bells started ringing and the similarities between the behavioural problems described in the post of the 4yo boy eerily mirror what my son has/is going through, so I would like to share my family’s story. (By no means am I saying that this is the problem of that IM’s child, but I just want to emphasise why this kind of...

Well please meet Teagan, Teagan is cooper’s Mum. Cooper is the little man that has epilepsy. *Make sure you have your tissues. This is an inspirational, yet hard hitting read. Message from Teagan: There’s such a horrible stigma around...

So, final day of 2012, and I feel I should write something inspiring to everyone! So here I am! *gulp* I wish I could say I did something memorable on my final day of 2012 – like flying or jumping out of a plane or climbing a mountain… But instead I had a normal day, doing what I love :-) Looking after my four kids at home. I won’t pretend and fake that I love doing this everyday! Anyone stuck in...

So, it’s my birthday today – and normally I ask Kristy if I can put up posts, but — SURPRISE! It’s my birthday! So I can do what I want right?!?! *grins* I use this line a lot on my special day… do you? Hubby has the day off work (best present EVER!) and he and the kids are cleaning the house as I type (Although, I think he is doing most of it. He is amazing!) While I love celebrating my special...

On the Imperfect Mum, we get a lot of questions about sleep. I often take a big breath when reposting these, as we normally end up with a big battle between these two sides, with each side passionately believing they are right and best. Firstly, I want to clear up I am not an expert. I have no degrees or intelligent letters behind my name. Never studied anymore then I’ve wanted to. I’m not a...

Last Thursday I was flown to Sydney for a High Tea. It was such an incredible and inspiring experience. The women I met and networked with, were some of Australia’s best. [Fiona - My Mummy Daze, Tina Gray @Tina Gray, Sonia - Life love and hiccups and meeee.] This inspired me to move forward with my idea of our girls weekend away. This is an idea that has sat in the back of my mind for quite some...
