About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Oatso-Tasty

I love the golden syrup flavour Oatso Simple. These are little sachets of pure heaven. They taste fantastic and fill the house with the wonderful aroma of golden syrup. How can anything that smells like that possibly be good for you? But the truth of the matter is that they are packed with complex carbohydrates that keep you going for ages not to mention being low in fat and high in fibre. An added bonus is that they take just 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave. I make mine with water and add a little skimmed milk to cool it down as they are really hot when cooked. My little ones get theirs made with whole milk but we all eat together and that makes it taste even better.
