I’m a proud single mother of two beautiful, intelligent children, first and foremost. My lovelies are young and barely discovering what life is all about. They are also energetic (they never sit still), fun, loving, caring, kind, naughty, and all the other adjectives that just could not possibly fit in the same line together. But they are and I’m sure we all feel the same about our children. This letter goes out to you, the single mother who is trying while the village ceases to exist.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m also a walking nanny, teacher, housekeeper, chef/washer/cleaner, and someone who generally puts out fires at home by day and a blogger, writer, marketer, and everything else that makes us the money, by night.
I’ve somehow mastered this juggling act over the years. Though it is not perfect yet, the routine is keeping us alive. And now thriving in circumstances where we once felt as if we completely lost control. Yes, we’ve had our moments!
We are very blessed to have found this mix in an attempt to balance out our hectic, and somewhat different, life. Of course, anything might change at any moment, but we live one day at a time and take in every moment we have together, for now…
In the last few years, life quickly changed for all of us. When I wrote this letter, I had just begun my journey. I was forced to carve a new world for two very young children. This world would comprise love, care, affection, and most importantly, security. I call this “our home.” But really, it is not confined to just our living space or the actual walls of our modest home. It is basically where all three of us are at any given time.
The moments together are precious, the tears are painful, and the laughs are extremely enjoyable. Through the dimmest of days and brightest of nights, we have learned to grow, support, and lean on each other.
Today, I strive to bring the best for my children, and myself. And to constantly encourage their curiosity, love for nature and others, and happy smiles even through tough times. This blog is dedicated to my lovely little ones, and to the mothers out there who are in similar situations and just need to know that we are all here for you.
This letter and blog inspires to bring hope, purpose, and strength to single mothers (and any mother who might need a village). We hope to reach all out there who are trying their best to raise their children in whatever situations and circumstances you are facing. I’ve tried my best to include personal experiences and lessons, which previously started out as a simple blog. Most importantly, I’ve included very personal thoughts and moments that I know many of you can relate to. Hopefully this will help you as much as it did for me through every step of the way.
I hope this blog gives you insight, companionship, and hope, through challenging moments. As well as the inspiration to take you and your children through each day.
Sincerely and all my love,
Becca.
