The image above is quite a confronting image for me as it looks exactly like my son’s feet. This is not a photo of him, I have lots of photo’s, I do wish I had one like this though. Don’t say NOTHING - Please don’t pretend it has happened and say nothing.. Just say - ”I’m sorry for your loss” or ”I’m here if you” Don’t say - ”It’s better that way” or “It’s natures way” or refer to the baby as an...

Depression is very common. Over a million people in Australia live with depression and 160,000 young people live with depression each year. On average one in five females and one in eight makes will experience depression in their lifetime. Even though so many Australians suffer from this illness there are still many people that don’t understand what it is. Depressed (the word) is derived from a...

Kelly and I are very different but very the same. Here is a little insight into us. I have known Kelly since she was 12. I was 15.

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...

Due to the starkness of yesterdays post, I have decided to write a nice heartwarming story. My family owns a couple of small business in Cairns in one of the business we have an employee who is quite high on the spectrum and in result does not speak.
