This week I am #singleparenting while the other half is across the world for work. Thankful to not be traveling (seriously, I’ve had it with airports and airplanes and people), but it means I get a week on my own with my #littleone. So far, so good.

What I’ve noticed: as a full-time working parent (whose work frequently has odd hours), I don’t know how #SingleParents actually do it. Huge respect to #singlemoms and #singledads who do this Every. Single. Day. I see you. You rock.

#HappyFathersDay to all you dads.

And #SingleMoms.

Because for some stupid reason we don't have a holiday especially for them (that I know of).

And we really should.

A few years ago, I went viral w/this mssg. I’m posting it here, bc it bears repeating. You have NO IDEA what someone else is going through. Be kind. Always.

“Twenty-five yrs ago, when my kids were little, I was a single mom on welfare. One Christmas, their presents were Christmas Cap’n Crunch & candy, bought w food stamps, bc that’s all I had. The next time you judge the person in front of you at the grocer’s, be kind.”
