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.

Life

alavenderplace

When life brings us joy, we laugh.

When life brings us pain, we cry.

When life brings us wealth, we spend.

When life brings us blessings, we give thanks.

When life shows us evil, we show it God.

When life seems overwhelming, we confide in a friend.

When life brings us brokenness, we struggle to put back the pieces back.

In life we are constantly moving, learning, and growing. We are growing to be the best versions of ourselves.  So, keep moving, keep growing, and keep learning. YOUR Life is YOUR responsibility so take charge and make this your best life yet!

Making Ends Meet

No one knows how to make ends meet better than a single parent. We are experts in making something out of nothing. Just like Jesus, who turned water into wine, we take one meal and turn it into five.

We take one salary and spread it across a household system that’s designed for 2 parents. One can only imagine the anxiety, stress and exhaustion this may cause for single parents.

Making ends meet force single parents to prioritize what’s important to ensure your children’s needs are being met. Have a thankful and giving heart to those who are less fortunate and see how much better you feel.

Single parents, making ends meet is a way for God to say, “I love you and your children” and ‘I will make sure you have everything you need – when you need it”. AMEN!
