This Imperfect Mum and her family have been through hell and back in the last 10 years, diagnosis, double lung transplant, cancer in her kidney and liver and her husband beating thyroid cancer. Recently her 7 seater family car was stolen by a gang of teenage thugs who broke into their house while they slept and went on a 7 hour joy ride which ended when they crashed into a family home smashing in...

Written by a fellow Imperfect Mum Most of us have problems. Some of us are lucky to have family and friends to bounce them off. Some of us don't. It is easy to sit behind a keyboard and judge someone else on what we would have done, how we would have handled it, how well we would have worded our question seeking help. I'm not perfect. I've made mistakes. I've held things in. And sometime I should...

Video of What Does It Mean To Be An Imperfect Mum? When I first became a Mother it was such a shock to me. I seriously had no idea that I would find it so overwhelming. All I could feel was such a deep dark feeling of anxiousness. I was completely and utterly overwhelmed. I could hear this voice in my head telling me how hopeless I was. This baby deserved so much more, it was like the walls were...

I'm excited to share that the conference is moving full steam ahead. I've changed the location to the beautiful city in which I live - CAIRNS. Cairns, the gateway to Queensland’s Tropical North, it's a premier destination and it's MY HOME. So, there's no better place to have our FIRST ever Imperfect Mum Conference. I have so much to tell you but some of it's still top secret - I know, I hate that...

Channel Ten's show, The Living Room, has contacted me to help them find some Sydney based I.M 's aged in their late 30's – late 40's for a shoot with their health presenter, Leanne Hall. Ideally a group of women who know each other well and would be comfortable discussing beauty and body image on camera. This is a good chance to be a part of something that will inspire and convey a positive...

Parenting is hard. Doing it without much (or any) help is even harder. Woman can be supported, or not, in so many different areas, the sum of which makes our experiences vastly different. Some of us having loving family nearby to come and watch the kids while we get some things down, someone nearby to call if we aren’t coping and keeping it all together. Some of us have great husbands who work...

Dear K, Remember all the things we did when we were young? Remember the spaghetti sticks with tomato sauce and chilli? Remember being top and tail so many nights because we didn’t want to sleep apart? We hardly ever slept in our own rooms. Remember the water fights and the scary movies? Talking through the night about what we might be when we grew up? Sharing a bed in the caravan in Scotland with...

Sometimes we mums are our own worst enemy… I’m beating myself up at the moment, without any help from anyone else! (So talented right?) *rolls eyes* I was catching up with a couple of beautiful mums this morning – we had a bunch of kids between us all who were happily playing in the playground while we spoke. One of the children came up to her mum, with the usual “I’m hungry” complaint, and the...

So, as most of you would of seen from my status last week – Kristy gave me the absolute privilege to have a ‘make over’ Firstly, thank you SO much Kristy for choosing me! I still laugh as I recall your phone-call about how I’m the perfect candidate, but not cause I need it, but because I spend so much time on the kids, but not that it shows, but I’m always putting others first, but…but… ha ha...

This is an inspirational read, this story is written by a beautiful woman who wished to remain anonymous. She shares her story of being an abandoned young mum who suffers from depression. This young woman has been through so much, she is truly an inspiration. - Kristy I was 17 when I fell pregnant with my now 3yr old little girl. There are many reasons surrounding this occurring but the main one...
