A Single Parent’s Christmas ðŸŽ„

alavenderplace

A single parent just wants to shed a tear. Christmas is 5 days away and her bank account balance resembles the 12 dollars of Christmas.

This time of year, the decisions that have to be made are stressful. Kids want gifts, family wants to gather, food must be bought, and the bills must be paid!

Think, single parent, think! Use your creativity, resources, and single parent partners to get through this challenging time of the year! You can do it, I know you can. Use your Single Parent Spidey sense to make it happen for your kids.

You can do it!

Merry Christmas 🎄

15 Minutes, Please!

alavenderplace

After a long work day and chauffeuring a child to all his after school activities, a mom needs 15 minutes of “me time.”

Time alone to not think, but meditate, breath. regroup, refocus, restore, remember how strong, beautiful and grateful she is.  Today, she is grateful for the abundance of blessings given and received on this day.

A Single Parents’ Valentine’s Day ðŸ’œ

alavenderplace

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.
