Louise Correcha and Danielle Ross Walls have just published Working Mums: Stories by real women on how they manage children, work and life. They bring together 27 stories by mums facing the daily challenge of combining work, life and families. The stories are by mums in the public spotlight, such as singer Missy Higgins and Olympic champion Alisa Camplin, and other mums you may not have heard of, including the authors themselves.

It was the first time that he had his own money to spend, and he was proud as punch with his purchase! A squishy stress-ball, hot pink in colour and in the shape of a heart. It has the words BEST MUM printed on it. It permanently resides on my writing desk at home. I love it. So, with Mother's Day again approaching, I reflect on the fact that simply being a Mum is a gift in itself – I am always grateful.
