A Mother’s Love is Unconditional (Or, the Biggest Lie I Was Ever Told)

April 28, 2015

There’s a famous joke in my family that my mum made up and would recycle with each of her kids when they reached a certain age.

Jade Warne is the Hipster Mum, the eldest daughter in a family of 14 children raised by nuns on the beaches of Sydney, Australia. Just kidding! There were actually only seven of them, all raised by the kind of super-mum who makes nuns look like slackers: entrepreneurial, talented, kind, beautiful, and scandalously stylish. As the high-powered (read: high-strung) kid of the bunch, she studied finance and pitched stories to magazines on the side, eventually winding up at Marie Claire and Women's Health. These days, she offers a creative guide to parenting at Hipster Mum. Check out Hipster Mum on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and get liking already!
