    Applause for Single Mums!

    OK I'm not a single mum, but every day when I cart my DD from pillar to post with her stroller, car seat and other paraphernalia I think to myself "how do single mums do it?".
    I was reading a post last night (from SJL hope you're feeling a bit better today!) that made me realise I should actually say:
    TO ALL YOU SINGLE MUMS OUT THERE YOU ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB!
    Myself and all the partnered up mums I know think you are amazing.
    So I would like to kick off by nominating some wonderful single mums here who I think deserve some applause and everyone if you know a single mum who is doing a great job please say so!
    Beatrix! don't know how you do it!
    Hoobley - you're awesome
    mistree - I watch your saga and feel for you but you're doing great!
    Kelly
    And of course SJL who gave me the idea for this post!
    So come on girls let's hear it for the single mums! Oh and if you're a single mum feel free to nominate yourself!

    What a beautiful thing to do pixie! You're awesome!

    I reckon the prize should go to one of the mums with multiple littlies - i only have one, and i'm in AWE of those ladies who manage to juggle nappy changes, BF or FF feeds, the school run, PTA meetings and STILL manage to come on here to cheer us up when we need it. To all you mums juggling two and three and more kids on your own....

    I agree whole heartedly, when DH is on night shifts for a few nights, I get sooo drained and tired, but I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel when he has his days off, you girls usually just have to keep on keeping on.....so


    BRAVO!!!!!!

    All of you deserve a medal!!!!

    wow that is so sweet!! I agree, I was a single mum of 3 until ... well last week lol and it can be really tough! Very rarely do people comment like that

    Now as a coupled parent I pass on the WELL DONE you really ARE doing a great job!! From first hand experience I know how tough it is!

    I only do the single mummy thing part time and I love it when DH gets home, so you girls that have no fixed end date to the single mummydom deserve every bit of support and praise you get, and more!!

    Ness, Hun you know what I think of you you absolute stunner. You are so precious, MWAH!!!
