Just wanted to pass this along. A piece about Sandy Gerber of Canada that I found on Rachel Tobin’s page. Pretty cool. A great honor for a single mom, indeed. I am sure that she is proud of her accomplishment, with every right. More single moms, in my opinion, should be recognized for everything that they do. A great many of us do own our own businesses, while raising children, taking care of our homes, and helping others. It is great to see someone who is being recognized for her efforts. Shannon
She was a divorced mom of 2 when she started dating Ted Kennedy, who recently passed away. She was trying to keep balance in her life, raising those two children. She was also 20 years younger than Ted. Vickie Reggie married Ted Kennedy, who was very supportive of her being a mom. Senator Kennedy passed away due to cancer, and he will be much loved. He did a lot of good things for people. Rest in Peace Ted. And my condolences to your family. Shannon
This is the month in which single moms everywhere are running around trying to get their children ready for the new school year. Their is so much to consider, so much to do. I would like to make things a little easier for you during the beginning of the the school year by providing you with some great lunchbox ideas. Some of the recipes can be found within tips posts. You will also find a few recipes for crowds that would be great for class get-togethers. How to Use Up Snap Peas and Green Beans Snack Platter for a Crowd #2: Fuits and Veggies Berry Plate for Breakfast, Lunch or Snack, or as a Salad with Dinner Snack Platter for a Crowd #3: Crackers Plus Vegetable Plate for Lunch or Snack Black Bean Soup in the Slowcooker These are all great recipes for providing nutritious, frugal school lunches for your children.

My Frugal Recipes blog has had a plethora of recipes posted this past month. These recipes, mostly healthy ones, will help you to save money on food prep. Their are also many other tips that have been posted this past month. How to Use Up Snap Peas and Green Beans I hope that you enjoy the recipes. The tips will be very helpful in running your kitchen more efficiently. And remember, if any produce goes bad, see if it can be composted. Shannon
I spent yesterday evening with my calendar and a notebook, noting many article titles that I have planned for this blog. Some very exciting things are coming your way. This is the last of the months updates for the single moms articles that I am having published elsewhere. It has been a busy month. Back-to-School in Bangor, Maine: Support for Homeschoolers That was short but sweet, LOL. There will be more posted there, but the links will not be posted until the bottom of the first September article made here. I hope you all have a nice day. I have some green topic articles to write elsewhere today. Shannon Twitter: @BangorSingleMom P.S. I am now writing a column called The Green Momfor Greenandsave.com. This is another extension of the single mom community.
I have made many updates to my blog Living the Low-Income Life this past month that I wanted to share with you. I know that not all single moms are Living the Low-Income Life, but many are. If you are not, you may still find some of these things useful. Happy Reading! Are You A Single Low-Income Mom? Frugal Recipes for Your Enjoyment I am sure that you will enjoy the post. By the way, are your children ready to start a new school year?
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. There are often road blocks and bumps in the road. Our children will make mistakes, but we will still love them. Shannon
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 Psychology for 10 years. The fact that she feels so strongly about this career is amazing, as many teens really don’t know what they want to do with their lives. Go Zowie! She has a busy year, what with academics, key club, tutoring, project graduation, Upward Bound, college applications, financial aid forms, scholarship searches and all. Share a blessing with us in the comments section. Shannon
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 are pretty calm around here for the most part. Share a single mom blessing with us in the comments. Shannon
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 blessing? Because I have only seen her a few times this year. I do not get to see her often, and I miss her as much as she misses me. How about discussing one of your single mom blessings in the comments.
