I really like your V-Day survival guide. We often make holiday cards and deliver them to our Veteran’s Hospital. It’s an easy way to start introducing younger kids to “doing for others”.
That’s an awesome idea! Thanks!
Valentine’s day is for amateurs!! When you are a single parent, we make more of an effort to express love and importance of one another.
I hear you! There are many single moms and dads who do get discouraged by all the hype, though. Hopefully the comments here, along with the poll and article, will help to create a shift in that perspective. Thanks!
