Ode to a Single Working Mother

Well we all need good friends and as Working Mums we need them more than ever - particularly other Working Mums who know exactly how it is!

I want to acknowledge a great woman who happens to be my oldest friend. Alison is one of those incredibly courageous women - a Single Working Mum. She's mother of 2 - a psychologist and school counsellor - and a fabulous mime artist and blogger extraordinaire. Also one of the funniest and wittiest people I know. It was she who suggested 'wouldn't it be good to have celebration ceremonies for new mothers?' Hence starting my whole journey towards working with Mums and Daughters that I do today - thanks Al.

Check out her blog for things artistic, on raising resilient kids, for dealing with depression, for a good laugh - and always a witty comment on life as a working mum...
