Children love to help mom out in the kitchen when they are young. Fostering this love for kitchen work is a great way to teach children to cook. There are even great vegetarian recipes that the single mom can teach her children to create. Sometimes mom just like to cook by themselves.
There are great spinach [...]

Raising my daughters alone. No doubt about it. Considering my choices in “men” when I was young, it is likely a good thing that I raised them alone. I shutter to think about how they may have grown up otherwise. I pretend they would have been fine, but recent events seem to indicate otherwise.
I loved [...]

As you can tell by previous posts, I consider my daughters to be great blessings in my life. They are awesome girls, and have not turned out as badly as a lot of teens in our area. I am proud of them for that.
It is hard for teens to grow up and become responsible adults. [...]

Another Zowie blessing. As mentioned in my last post, Zowie is wise beyond her years. So wise, in fact, that she can sometimes be more mature and responsible than me. That is saying something since I am quite mature and responsible.
Zowie is attending her last year of high school, and then will be studying Adolescent [...]

T0is blessing concerns my 17 year old daughter, Zowie. She is a great kid, and is wise beyond her years. She was able to watch her sister grow up…her sister being very rebellious and mouthy…so that she knew how to go about NOT getting into trouble and being grounded a lot.
She did well, and things [...]

This blessing also concerns my 19 year old daughter Skye. I feel blessed that when she has an opportunity to visit she hugs me. Not just a quick hug, but she runs up to me and hugs very tightly for a minute. She tells me how much she loves and misses me.
Why is this a [...]
