With February 14th around the corner, we know that single parents have to be creative to enjoy Valentine’s Day. It may require you to delay it for a more convenient time, celebrate alone, include your children or not celebrate at all. A single parent’s reality is our children come first; therefore the timely celebration may become untimely. The feeling of wanting to be loved, appreciated, prioritized, and celebrated by someone with flowers, chocolates, a spa day, dinner and a movie, a piece of expensive jewelry, or just a simple meal prepared to our liking seems out of reach.
Instead, turn Valentine’s Day into a day where you show love towards your children. Transfer that energy to your children. Take them to their favorite restaurant, watch a movie, go to an ice-cream parlor, or make their favorite dinner/dessert. No matter what you do, make sure it’s genuine and with a smile. Your kids will enjoy and appreciate the fun memories you’ve created for them.
Stay in the moment and enjoy every minute. Your season is around the corner.
