Blog Post#2- My Pinterest

There is no book written on how to be the perfect parent; although at times I wish there was such a book. But for now I look to Pinterest for insight and for motivational sayings, pictures, and stories from other single parents like me. I find it refreshing to know that i'm not the only person dealing with the struggle of raising a child alone. I have come to realize that I don't  have to be stressed all the time. Because god would not have given me the blessing of being able to have a child if he thought I wasn't capable enough to handle it. My son is a blessing, and I wouldn't change my life even if I could. He is my ray of sunshine, his light has guided me to become the independent woman I am today. I give all of the credit to my son, for making me the woman I am today. Through all of our trials and tribulations we've gone through it together, side by side, forever and ever. 

When I see cute quotes or sayings on Pinterst like the ones shown here it makes me feel so proud to say I am a mother. I just recently started attending a single parent group at my friend's church, and it is so amazing to hear everyone's stories. It makes me really appreciate everything god has given my son and I, because someone may have it way worse then us. During the class I brought up Pinterest to the other mother's, and told them how addicted I am to looking on there each day and finding new ideas and techniques to improve my parenting. I want other single mother's out there to know that they are not alone, and there are so many groups in person and online that they can reach out to and express your stresses in a non judgmental zone. Every parent is different, but what's not different is the amount of love we have for our children. <3
