Her life is far from 'normal'.

But Kim Kardashian has revealed that is exactly her wish for her children - daughter North, three, and eight-month-old son Saint.

The world's most famous reality star opened up about her decision to shelter her kids as she spoke at the BlogHer conference in Los Angeles on Friday - saying it had even led some to speculate that her baby was 'faked'.

'If you don't share something, it's like it doesn't exist,' explained the social media addict.

'I wasn't posting about my son [born in December] because I want him to go to the park like every normal human being. But some people thought I had a full fake baby because I wasn't posting.'

And while Kim puts everything 'out there' - from naked full frontal images, to her musings on daily life - she pays close attention to what she reveals about her young children. 

'I'm protective of my life with my kids,' she explained to Elisa Camahort Page during the Experts Among Us Conference.

'You might see them on the show a bit, but not real stories.'

Kim Kardashian rocked a totally new hairstyle by donning a wig as she stepped out at a blogger event this week and we were loving it!

But it wasn't just the new lustrous locks that caught our attention. Kim looked fabulous in an all white ensemble in the form of a white long sleeved tee tucked into a silk maxi skirt.

The high waisted pick paired with the figure-hugging top really exaggerated Kim's slimmed down figure and we couldn't be more jealous of that tiny waist. The 100% silk skirt added a luxurious edge to the look, while the thigh-high split was a little racy.

Kim's maxi length number is by Nili Lotan and can still be shopped at The Dreslyn (click right).

Although North often appears on her show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim insisted the child is deliberately kept incidental to the plot.

'Selfishly, I am lucky they can be in the other room while I'm filming,' said the working mother. 'Kourtney and I don't have stories about our children. That is one thing I don't share.'

Having made millions from her reality show and, off the back of that, her myriad business interests, Kim has no regrets about her choice of career.

But, she says, she has different ambitions for North and Saint. 

'I hope they learn to understand they can do anything they want to do and to always be kind. You can't underestimate kindness.

'I hope they are good people and live as normal of a life as possible.'

And her hopes for her children would ring true to many a parent.

'I hope they are outspoken and follow their truths. I hope they see no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. You can get through anything.'

And Kim, whose family are an integral part of her daily life, hopes that remains the case.

'As long as you surround yourself with family and friends and try not to make the same mistake twice. Learn from your mistakes and grow from that.'

'He's very private, I'm very open. He has taught me how to become more private and I've taught him how to be more open.'

Kim also addressed the criticism she gets for sharing so much of her life online - including nude selfies.

'I feel so confident all the time, and that helps me. You should be confident on your own, but my husband also gives me an extra push.'

That doesn't mean Kim is unaware of the 'hate', but she makes it her policy not to read negative comments.

'I don't post to get a reaction. I post because I like the photo,' she adds.

And Kim also has an answer for those who ask what she does all day - insisting her show is a full-time job.

'Filming a reality show is a full-time job,' she said, adding: 'I love being on one.'
