The Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers

Lissy, Heather, Kim, Rebecca and Tammy are back with some BIG news!  The Mums have been featured in Edinburgh Live thanks to a wonderful interview with Lee Dalgetty and are celebrating with a few lovely bottles of prosecco.  In the absolutely fabulous article by Lee on Edinburgh Live, the Mums have been able to share their story of the idea behind the podcast, the motivation the Mums have to keep going, the Mums' hopes and wishes for the future and more!  

Moving on, the Mums chat about last weekend... including Lissy having friends in town and visiting some fabulous restaurants in Edinburgh (find out where to get an amazing Sunday roast) and football games in the rain before moving on the main topic of the evening which is.... is 2026 the year we unplug the kids?

The Mums chat about the Low-Stim movement for under 5s... what worked for the Mums and what didn't is discussed, as well as the Great EdTech Rebellion... kids who have iPads at school and are screen-fried by 3:30.  Find out what the Mums think of educational games that look like videogames or gambling, the potential of bringing back the homework worksheet, and bringing back the lost art of being bored.  

As always, join the Mums as they laugh, chat and set the world to rights on the latest episode from the Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers!

It's been a very busy week for the Lissy, Rebecca, Liz, Kim, Heather and Tammy, what with Mother's Day over the weekend, Scotland's rugby efforts vs. Ireland, and the Mums having some great chats with some incredible businesses and events!  The Mums had a wonderful chat with Carmen of Support the Makers and the Portobello Festival... as well as is Leanne of The Drama Centre.  Look for a release of the Mums' conversation with Carmen next week.  The Mums also celebrate Tammy"s MVP vote at F45!

Talking about the weather... Spring has well and truly sprung in Edinburgh and the Mums are loving it.. and it's just in time for Mother's Day!  Find out how the Mums enjoyed their Mother's Day... whether Mums should really have high or low expectations for Mother's Day, and what really matters to Mums (hint: it's usually the laundry).  The Mums share some wonderful Mother's Day cards from the kids, as well as some hilarious stories about some of the worst Mother's Day gifts out there!

Moving on, the Mums celebrate Kim's birthday... and Kim receives her gifts from the Mums.  Find out what the Mums gave Kim... from the silly to the grotesque to the blissful!  

The Mums wrap up with a new segment called "Millennial Mums try out Gen Z stuff".  Diving right in the deep end, the Mums all try out the The Booty Scrunch or “contour” legging craze, and things get uncomfortable (literally).  The scrunch detail is meant to acts as a separator.. providing instant separation and lift, creating a more heart-shaped appearance from behind.  Find out how the Mums rate this latest Gen Z craze - the highs and the very lows.

As always, join the Mums as they laugh, chat, and set the world to rights on this latest episode from The Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers!

It's Spring in Edinburgh, and Lissy, Heather, Kim, Liz and Tammy are enjoying a lovely bottle of wine from Vino Wine in Stockbridge, whilst chatting all about the gorgeous signs of Spring in the city!  The Mums have been busy.... Tammy has been crushing it at F45, the Mums watched the epic Scotland vs. France rugby game (from across the Channel and in Scotland), and Lissy and Heather were at the Edinburgh Playhouse to see Matilda the Musical!

Tune in to find out all about Matilda the Musical from the Mums... spoiler alert: it's AMAZING!  Lissy and Heather agree -- this is one to watch with the kids!  Go to The Edinburgh Society of Unapologetically Imperfect Mothers Podcast website for Lissy's full review which is glowing!

The Mums move on to talk about Imperfect Parenting... revealing some very interesting parenting fails.  The Mums acknowledge that they may not always be Miss Honey, but they aren't the Wormwoods either... maybe real parents are somewhere in the messy middle.  Tune in for some ridiculously funny parenting fails from the Mums!
