I could go on about who I am and all like you have probably read in all the other blogs on single mums. I wanted to do something to help another single mother but could not work out what to do and one day whilst sitting down having a chat with a close family member did the topic of blogging come up. If I am able to help even one single mother, then all the sleepless nights putting this together will feel like its been worth it. As the tagline suggests, this blog is aimed at empowering and inspiring single mothers.
This is a blog exploring life of a single mother. It will include the good, the bad and the ugly. This blog will contain some experiences and challenges that are very personal to me and I will talk about how I navigated through those issues. Life is about learning and as we learn we grow. I feel the last few years have allowed me to grow as a person but the learning never stops and we can never stop growing. Remember this is a blog for all us single mothers so if there is anything you think you could add as suggestions in the post do drop a comment.
Becoming a single mother to young children with limited support had hit me hard; having to raise children on my own brought its own set of challenges. How do we work? How do we do school drop offs and pick-ups? How do we deal with our past? Not able to arrange counselling as limited childcare options? The list is endless. Yes, life changes when we become single mothers but being able to raise and prioritise our children in peace and freely is a blessing in disguise. The most important thing I have learnt is we shouldn’t feel alone and it’s important to understand we are not alone. Sometimes we feel so trapped in our own past that we forget it doesn’t just happen to us, there are many people out there who go through similar, if not worse situations. Every story is unique but we can all come together and help each other. It definitely took me a while to understand that. The key is to understand what has happened, being able to live for the present and pray for a amazing future. Yes, lets believe our futures will be bright and amazing, even if we do not think so at the moment. Let’s not dwell too much on what the future will bring but look more at how we can live for the present, while years tick by lets spend these years creating beautiful memories with our children, before you know it they will be adults and will not need us as much as they may do now.
This blog aims to help single mothers simplify some of their issues while they navigate through their single parenting journey. Gone through a difficult past? Not sure how you will heal. Learn more on my posts about the benefits of counselling, the benefits of “me time”. We can only do the best for our children, if we also work on ourselves. This blog will include posts with helpful tips and advise on the different areas of parenting including lifestyle and travelling, trauma, healing and much more.
This blog has just started up and trying to find time around children is a challenge on its own but I aim to post a new blog each week. So Stay tuned!
