Welcome to our web site offering practical support for single parent mothers and fathers.
We are two regular folk who have found ourselves single parents, each of us with a different story; Kate was left and Emily left. Although we have no formal qualifications whatsoever, we do have loads of common sense and loads of experience (either our own or 2nd hand from the many others we've met along the way). We're a straight talking duo with a very unique blend of empathy, encouragement, humour and advice to help you and your family move on!

We have devised a marvellous game 'Banter With The Kids' which gets conversations going at mealtimes or in the car or wherever you are gathered come to that . By asking everyone questions from which olympic gold would you like to win? Through to what would you like to find out more about? Everyone is given airtime and a chance to chat and share and have fun. You can buy it for a bargain £5 (postage included) [10]
Our featured article [11] is all about contact lenses, slightly odd, but Emily's reached the point where vanity's getting the better of her, as she's getting fed up of wearing glasses all the time, so is looking into all this stuff
