HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY!!!!! Sunday, 13th May.
Happy Mothers' Day to all you Single Mothers out there!
We hope you feel appreciated for the awesome sacrificial job you do and know that as we, A Reason to SMILE, grow we hope to do more to make you feel valued and appreciated.
Keep up the fantastic work! :-)
Don’t forget a single mother you know and help to celebrate her on this special day by choosing one or more of the following ideas or by using your own ideas:
- Give her a card of encouragement and appreciation for the job she does.
- Buy her some beautiful flowers to show she is special.
- Give her a food hamper – containing practical and luxury items.
- Buy her a voucher for a pamper – facials, massage, manicures, pedicures etc or put together a do-it-yourself kit for her to do at home.
- Take her out to lunch or for a coffee – your shout!
- Make her some babysitting vouchers from you, so she can have a well deserved break! Make sure you know her and her kids before you do this!!!!
- Give her some movie money and offer to look after the kids while she has time out with friends.
- Clean her house or do some washing for her – don’t forget to check with her first!
- Mow her lawns and/or weed her garden for her.
- Clean her car – full service, inside and out!
These are just a few ideas to start you thinking about rewarding a single mother you know – it could be your own mother, a friend or family member, a neighbour, a workmate or anyone.
You may be a single mother yourself and want to support another single mother – that’s great!
Single Mothers - don’t just sit around and wait for it to happen to you - celebrate yourself!!! You are so worth it!
SMILE TIP: If you are a single mother you could do a child swap with another single mother – You treat her this weekend and she treats you next weekend etc.
Or celebrate each other on Mothers’ Day by taking the kids out to the park and have a picnic together with other single mothers.
