It's A Single Mom Thing

Send Sherry a Text Message It's apparent that being a parent is hard work! Whether you are flying solo or have the support of a spouse, parenting is the most blessed and stressful job you will ever have. Every day presents new obstacles and opportunities that you didn't prepare for, and the answers you won't find in a book. But if you look, they may just be inside you! How many time...

Send Sherry a Text Message Whether you are a solo momma by choice, circumstance, divorce, or the death of a partner, you certainly have a double dose of decisions to make daily. Some may even come out of nowhere like an unwelcomed houseguest, especially in today's inflationary climate and housing crisis. As solo mommas, we are all being tested to the limits of our resiliency, strength, and sa...

Send Sherry a Text Message Woman of worth, who are you? Some of you may be thinking to yourself, as I did, well what is a woman of worth exactly? I don't know her and given my past, I am far from anything worthy!!!! What value could I possibly have? Have you seen my life? Today, discover your WOW moment taking captive the thoughts in the truth that speaks louder than the lies that want you to...

Send Sherry a Text Message Let me tell you.  There are few things more disheartening to a child than having one awesome story to tell and no one to listen to.  If you've been married, you know what I am talking about as I am sure you had stories to share with your hubby and he was checked out like an overdue library book. As a mom, you're physically there, but mentally you are zoned out!...

Send Sherry a Text Message As families get together on this day to celebrate our freedom as an independent country many single moms may find themselves in bondage to the freedom they have seemed to have lost. As Christian single moms, we know we find our freedom in Christ on this day and every day - as He desires to bless us physically, financially, and spiritually. That's something to celebr...

Send Sherry a Text Message Have you seen the cost of a bag of shredded cheddar cheese lately? I don't know about you mommas, but Taco Tuesday used to be my cheapest meal of the week, now it is no different than anything else I put on the table. With soaring gas, grocery, and housing costs coupled with supply chain shortages many single moms in crisis are now being presented with yet another c...

Send Sherry a Text Message So we are three weeks into summer and how many of you mommas are already looking forward to the beginning of the next school year? Am I right? I mean you love your kids and you love the extra time you have with them, like those late-night movies and "sandsational" days at the beach, but when it's just you and you doing all the heavy lifting; summer can wea...

Send Sherry a Text Message School is out for the summer!!! No having to scurry the kids in a hurry, no extra-curricular activities, no parent-teacher conferences, science fairs, and homework. It's going to be a "sandsational" summer.  You are going to kick it by the pool, soak up some sunshine, and bask with your babies at the beach. Oh yeah, but you are a solo momma. You don't...

Send Sherry a Text Message As solo mommas, we've all been there, you know the dreaded moment you have to hand off your kiddos to their dad. For some, this happens every other weekend and seems to strap you in on a roller coaster ride you wish you could get off! Doesn't it seem that the angst of that moment begins at the beginning of the week as the anticipation climbs as the end of the w...

Send Sherry a Text Message It takes courage to participate in life! As solo mommas, we aren't just heads of our households for income tax purposes, we are spiritual heads of households for all purposeful incoming attacks on our household. Of all the things we do as solo momma, whatever it is that we do, that is probably the easing most important thing a single momma has to do in a day. PRAY!...

Send Sherry a Text Message Do you ever have those days where you feel like your mind just packed up everything in your house and just moved you....yeah, just moved you out of town finding yourself in another "state of mind"? You, know what I am talking about? When out of nowhere you ended up in the middle of nowhere and now you don't know how to find your way back to now here? Like...

Send Sherry a Text Message On Mother's Day, you may soon realize, kids don't realize it's Mother's Day unless someone tells them.  Sure they may make you a card in school, but come Sunday, they forget to get it out of their backpack.  If I'm honest, I hadn't thought about it either when I woke up that first Single Mother's Day morning, until I woke up.  As I wipe...

Send Sherry a Text Message As a solo momma, you know what it's like to create a new normal while grieving the loss of the old at the same time, especially post COVID-19. We were stretched to the limit like Elasta Girl from The Incredibles. We had no support of a second parent and had to find our "bounce-back" as we were forced out of the workplace due to lack of childcare - finding...

Send Sherry a Text Message When you look in the mirror WHAT do you see? Do you take the time to take in all the traits that make up you or do you quickly cover yourself with make-up to conceal yourself from yourself and everyone else? When you look in the mirror WHO do you see? What is it that you reflect on when you take in your reflection? Do you see every curve, line, texture, and tone as an im...

Send Sherry a Text Message What disappoints us the most in life is the picture in our heads of how life is supposed to be. Now picture that, momma! Do you feel that way when you look at your wedding picture or even a current picture of your family and notice someone is missing in that picture? Do you find, like I do, that your "I do" you said as you stood at the altar would be forever? I...

Send Sherry a Text Message Does unwelcomed advice from family remind you of why you might want to "unwelcome" some peeps from holiday parties or events? Doesn't it just seem that everyone has an opinion on your career, parenting, dating, and lifestyle choices?  Blah. Blah. Blah. As I like to say, "It's all relative when it comes to your relatives."  So with Easter rig...

Send Sherry a Text Message Every time you see your EX do you have a holy hot flash moment? I know, sometimes it is hard to look at him and not feel all of the history you two have shared. He may not have done something to hurt you recently or intentionally, but you still remember the feelings of hurt that can get your blood boiling!!! But what about your kiddos? Most likely, your children don&apos...

Send Sherry a Text Message Don't you just hate those times when guests show up unannounced to your house? Doesn't it always seem like they come at the worst time?

Send Sherry a Text Message Today, we are going to have some fun practicing speaking our mind and speaking a word that often comes to mind, but for some crazy reason, we do mind saying it out loud. It's funny how strange how just two letters that sit next to each other in the alphabet can really sit heavy on our hearts if we fail to express it. So why is saying NO, so hard, and why do we see i...

Send Sherry a Text Message Do you feel like your life is out of control or, on the contrary, you are controlling everything so you don't lose control?

It sure is and if left unchecked, it not only checks you out from being a p...

Send Sherry a Text Message Kind of a strange question to ask, but give it some thought? Seriously. Would you date you, if you controlled every outcome, every conversation, and every expectation?

Send Sherry a Text Message Dating in this season comes with new terms of engagement because although you may be a solo momma, you are not solo! You've got your kiddos to think about.

Send Sherry a Text Message Valentine's Day is a season and reason why many solo mommas and Christian single women get bitter - it's hard, it hurts, and it highlights what we think we don't have instead of putting a spotlight on what we do have! So today, we are going to focus on the relationship we do have, and some wisdom that is sprinkled in His Word. He is our hope, and it is He...
