Single Parenting

Single parents,
may I suggest to you that you are not a "single" parent. The word single suggests that you are alone. While you may not have your parenting team anymore (you and your SO) you do have family...but you also have someone else who is a part of your team, His name is God! Don't ever underestimate His power through your parenting journey. He will help keep you strong in times of weakness and calm your mind when nobody else is around to see the mental storm brewing inside you. Continue to go church (I know it can be very hard and some days seem impossible). The most important thing is that you never give up. Your kids need you so don't let family take over all the work, get in there and do it! Never forget that even in times when it seems like it, you are never alone...ever

The truth is...some kids don't learn from the Easy Way but most parents aren't willing to try any other way. They use excuses like "it worked for them...it works on my other kid(s). They just don't take the time. Then parents are left wondering "why do my kids never listen?" The problem is that kids aren't being taught. Sure, these methods work a lot but that doesn't guaranteed that every ki

Meaningful Moments

 "Love is enough" The quote that many have requoted for years. While some may say it is true, is it really? Is love really enough? What does that even mean? Well, some would say love is a feeling so if we're going based solely on that fact, then sorry to say but no it is not enough. See that is the problem, we base our relationship on how we are feeling. We base the ranking of our family on how we feel about each other and whether we fight or not. You may not be aware but ALL...let me say it again, ALL relationships have their ups and downs, every family fights once in a while. If you really base it solely on that, you'll be let down every time. "So what do we base it on?" you may ask; You base it on actions, its a conscience decision everyday to say "no matter what, I will stick around and fight for you, for US." That is what you signed up for when you said "I do" and many of us are standing at the altar with our children present while w
