Count our blessings!

My children are growing bigger and more independent. They enjoy more & more time with their peers in anticipation. But as a single parent, I also love to see my children enjoy special time between themselves. So I suggest this idea - a special time between themselves like our precious moment as "Tuesdays with Merry". My idea ignites my child who will like try to reserve a special time slot with her sister.

On 13 March, Tuesday, they kicked off their first dating. I gave them $20 each hoping that they would pool up the money to enjoy together. They have spent more than 2 hours together -- enjoying tea in MacDonald & doing the craft and writing the cards.... They sent me a lovely card, a magnet (craft) for their father. This is a θžε†°δΉ‹ζ—…!

Be yourself, be humble

Being a single mom, be yourself.

On line with God....

  • Ask for help whenever needed. You have resources that other don't have.
  • Have fun with your kids once every week. Don't be closed up. Open up your heart and your house.
  • Throw away burden (do it physically) before entering home . If you need hug , air out to your kids.
  • Try to include the Dad (even though it might be an absentee Dad) in your kid's life and memory.
  • Don't feel guilty. The fact maybe the divorce did tear the kids' heart. But it is the problem between you and your ex. It is not the time to mourn for your loss. It is time to learn, learn lessons from this broken fragments about your marriage so as to grow up and take over.
  • In your child bringing-up process, stand still with God's standards. Nurture their characters not just behaviour.
  • Pray. God hears. Psalms 68:5-6
  • Love yourself more. You deserve.
  • Connect to a friend (who is your creative mirror) who has the empathy and has the same suffering. Talk to another adult whenever you are not in the right mood. Do it after your kids are tufted to bed if they are small. Don't throw your tantrum to your kids. They are kids no matter how close you are. They are kids, in the way, your ex-husband's kids, too. They deserve fun. It is their birthright. Ecclesiastes 4:9

Be humble and asks for help.... Be humble.....
