A Hot Mess Mum. The mum who's husband, children and fellow-mums shake their heads at because they all know. The mum who forgets to bake for the bake sale. The Hot Mess Mum most likely has sent her kids to school in regular clothes on non-uniform day and has probably put left overs in her kids lunch box more than once. Most of all, the Hot Mess Mum is actually rocking it and is doing a better job than she even thinks. Kelly Pegg & Jenny Powell are joined by a different guest every week to talk about the trials and tribulations of being a mum.
