I’ve been snow skiing for at least ten years and yet I wouldn’t call myself a skier.  I’m more of a faller, a roller or sometimes, just a snow-covered whiner.

I struggle with raising my kids. As a solo parent, I never feel like I am enough for them. You’ve probably read the articles about moms wanting to be “enough” on various blogs. I’ve read them, too. But I still struggle with it. Every day probably. You too?

It is finally Christmas! Everyone’s been going in a million different directions.

Are you a single mom? I GET YOU this Christmas!
