Single moms and being frugal

October 18th, 2007 at 11:25 pm

I would like to give a shout out to all the single moms who are out there.
I would say for the most part single moms are the queens of being frugal! It amazes me how many of them seem to do it all and never complain. One gal I work with is amazing to me. She is struggling yet I never see her without a smile or a word of encouragment for ME. I decided last week to make her a dinner as she just moved herself and children to a new rental home. I was thrilled to make up a simple dinner complete with side dishes and desert. She seemed so touched to have a dinner that was ready for her and her children.

If you know a single mom who is struggling--there are ways to help her.
Here a few ideas........
* cooked dinner or food basket
* gift card to the Dollar Tree
* gas gift card
* mowing her lawn, offering to clean
* babysitting
* encouraging books
* phone calls, emails that are regular

Some single moms are in great need. Some have had huge obstacles to overcome. Luckily I have a great set of parents and a wonderful sisiter. Some ladies who are single have zero support from any kind souls. God Bless all the single moms.
Keep encouraged!

    I remember well being a single mom and any of those suggestions would have thrilled me! Fortunately, I had a very supportive family but not every single mom has that. Kudos to you for thinking of her and helping her out and for sharing those ideas with us.

    So many single moms are running on fumes as I like to put it! Running near empty so much of the time! It's fun to be a blessing and these gals as you know....really need it! Have a great weekend!
