A Single Parents’ Valentine’s Day 💜

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.

The Power

Never underestimate a woman’s power, restraint, and fortitude. We work through pain and rise above adversity. We hold ourselves together while our insides sink to the ground. Although, the disappointment, disgust, and trauma exist, we push our shoulders back and carry our heads high. Why, you ask? Because we are survivors who deserves to gain our freedom. The type of freedom that results power. So, never underestimate a woman’s power, restraint, and fortitude. Why, you ask? Because, you will never win.

Single Parent Multi-Tasker

Do you know there is a day to celebrate single parents who are taking care of children without a partner? Well my single parent friends, it is true. Proclamation 5166 was signed by President Ronald Reagan on March 21, 1984. This proclamation serves to recognize all the single parents who are raising kids on their own.

Check out this website on how to support the strong, selfless, single parents of the world who make it happen, daily for their kids.

Going forward, on the next National Single Parent Day please remember to recognize, respect, and make the day of at least one single parent.
