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.

Mother's Day


The third Sunday in Lent is always Mothering Sunday in the UK. It is supposed to refer to the "mother church" but has become a celebration of motherhood in general and a chance to say thankyou to our mother's and to generally acknowledge what they do for us.

Now I am a mother I really appreciate the meaning of mother's day and it's not about cards and presents although they are nice it's about knowing that you have done a good job in raising your children in such a way that they do not take you for granted.

I must admit I was spoilt rotten today cards both shop bought and handmade, perfume, taken out for lunch and I have not lifted a finger. My 2 year old picked my prefume "Curious" by Britney Spears I assume because of the pretty colours but actually I like the smell. (To be honest I would have worn it if it smelled terrible as he picked it)

Then to top the day off it has been snowing on and off all day and I love the snow.
