  • Honoring Single Moms on Father’s Day

    Click here for a Powerful Message to Single Mothers on Father’s Day

    All Strong Single Moms play the role of both mother AND father, and as such deserve to be celebrated as well. As a gift, I’d like to share this amazing video with you. These are two powerful and successful men (Les Brown and Paul Martinelli) who are agents of change in our world today. They were both raised by single moms, and the message they share with us on this video is powerful.

    As a single mom, you are in a position of honor. It is tough work, but we have the ability to change the world around us by raising sons and daughters that have hearts full of love. Everyday, our children see us as examples of how a person can thrive outside of what is considered the “norm” by society. They will take these lessons with them their whole life. We are raising enlightened children…and this video is an example of two people who have taken the lessons they learned from their single mothers and are thriving because of it!

    So stay strong, and remember that even though we are single moms who may be the lone parent within our households, we are never truly alone as long as we have each other.

    Much love and Big hugs to you today!

  • Summer and the Single Mom
    By Strong Single Moms on May 18, 2010 | No Comments  Comments

    Every summer, the kids and I look forward to spending time playing together.  Some years, we head off to destination spots (Disneyland and Sea World are the favorites!)

    Other summers, we’ve had a blast playing in our own “backyard” so to speak.  Whether it was a day at a big Water Park, or a low-key weekend in the mountain town of Flagstaff, we’re content just being together and doing something out of the norm.

    The common thread is simply taking time to play together.  Leave worries and work behind, and just enjoy each other.  The importance of building strong bonding memories between you and your kids is immeasurable.  As single mothers, we sometimes forget the importance of play.  Make it a priority, and make sure to capture the moments!  Have a way to look back and bring the playful moments back to the front of your minds.

    If you’re looking for a new way to record those memories, check out Shwaag.com! They are running a giveaway for a Kodak PlaySport HD…a fantastic (and waterproof!) way to capture your playful times with the kids.

    You need a private invitation code to be able to participate, and the Strong Single Mom Network just so happens to have some!  Sign up for our free Basic Membership at www.strongsinglemoms.com, then check out the Special Offers Tab.  The Shwaag Special offer for our members is the invite code that will give you the chance to win this awesome HD camera :-)  I would LOVE to see one of our Strong Single Moms walk away with that prize!

    No matter what, make sure you’re taking time to play with your beloved children this summer.  It’s not about how money you spend on the memories, it’s about how you spend that time focused on your relationship and bond with the most important people in your life.
