All About Me (Jamie’s Mum)

I’m Kirsty, Mum to Jamie, aged nine and his seven year old sister and married to a wonderful man.  I live in the UK (you probably guessed that from the ‘Mum’ rather than ‘Mom’ and I teach part time in the local college - Literacy skills for adult learners.  

I’m a christian, member of an active local church, and in my spare time I like doing crafts, messing around on the internet and going to the gym.   I started this blog a few months ago after Jamie was first diagnosed with celiacs desease, and although I don’t blog nearly as often as I should, I hope I have something to offer!

    Dear Kirsty,
    I must say I´m not a keen fan of web sites, so this is really the first blog I´ve ever answered in my whole life. The reason is that I wonder how many things we have in common.
    My name is Patricie and I´m a “MUM” of a seven-year old “gluten-free” boy and a four-year old girl. I work as a teacher at a grammar school, which means I teach students from 12 to 20, Czech language, literature, music, the history of arts, and I absolutely love it. We are Christians, members of an active local church as well (which is not common in the Czech Republic where I am from).
    My greatest hobby (together with teaching) is studying English, I can´t help but love this language very much. English have helped me to “survive” those difficult years of constant pain, collapses and illnesses of our son. Unfortunately it´d taken five years till the doctors found the diagnose.
    So, thank you very much for your blog and God bless you. It´s good to know we are not alone. Patricie
