Jess aka Miss Preggy mentioned that she wouldn’t be able to enter our Cilla Bloom Photography Fathers Day Competition because she’s missing the crucial ingredient … a father. Well, Aiden’s father, at least. In my opinion, single moms should also get credit this Fathers Day … they’re doing all the work in the cases where the ‘baby-daddy’ isn’t interested in being anyone’s ‘baby-daddy’ …
For that reason, I’me calling on all single mamas to enter our giveaway too! You deserve it as much as anyone else! Jess, you’re a strong woman, and Aiden will be a strong little guy because of you! x
Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears but also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride.

Jess also sent through her message for single moms …
Sitting in my room,
day dreaming with a smile.
Breaking away,
if only for a while.
Imagining my life,
and where I would be,
if only I had done,
x, y, and z.
Wistful thoughts,
deep sighs,
resigned yet restless,
wanting to cry.
A voice breaks the silence.
This child of mine,
I realize my choice,
at this moment in time.
They are my life,
these children of mine.
Nobody’s wife,
yet perfectly fine.
We can make it,
you will see,
for this was all,meant to be.
