You Sexy Mother redefines what it means to be a stay-at-home mum today...one who is sexy, vibrant, healthy, happy and engaged in a life that has meaning and value. When she became a mother herself, Jodie Hedley-Ward failed to find any book that supported her own beliefs about what motherhood could and should be, so she set about writing one herself. In particular, she wanted to explore three key concepts: (1) The idea that being a stay-at-home mum can be an exciting, fulfilling and even lucrative option. (2) To show via her own journey how it is possible to change from the stereotypical worn-out mum who is losing her sense of self, into a sexy, vibrant woman who embraces her role. (3) To provide an alternative to the traditional black-and-white options of working mother (feeling guilty/children in full-time care) versus stereotypical frumpy stay-at-home mum (who attends parent groups and doesn't bother with her appearance). You Sexy Mother offers sensible advice on self-perception, self-respect, the importance of relationships, simplifying your life, creativity through motherhood, making use of community resources - and concludes with a transformational ten-day turnaround plan.

I LOVE this book and haven't even finished it yet. Referred to me by a friend I got it out of the library and read the 10 day challenge at the end & chapter 1. I feel in love with it and wanted it for myself - it's one of those books you could refer to many times over time. really really awesome book for that woman who wants to be the best she can - mother, wife, partner and most importanly for herself. The book gave me a real "motivation" just at a time I was feeling a bit "flat" and wondering where "I" had gone as now I was just "xxx mum's". A must read for all woman who are mothers and while committed to their children also want to have their "own" life. It reminded me that' OK to want that.
This book is a must for all mums. It has been on my wishlist for a long time & finally my husband bought it for me. It is really easy to read, I read the first few pages in the car on the way home from the shop and loved it straight away. I love how she says she just decided not to buy into the tired mum syndrome anymore & to choose another way to be. Very motivating and inspiring for all mums. Love it.
