Profile For NHysHands - Working Single Mom of Three
I'm just a single mom of three who has been single parenting for about seven years. I'm always looking for time, space, and money saving ideas on home decor, cooking, home organization, and easy/inexpensive fun
I have a tween and we've entered a WHOLE NEW WORLD. Thank you for the insight into simple forms of appreciation that I used when she was about four. I'm going to give it a good ole college try! I just assumed that because she's older, these forms of appreciation are not needed as regularly to affirm our relationship or her worth. ... View related article.
I'm for the Goodnights for over nights and hectic weeks when washing every night is out of the question. I have a 7yr old that wets as well. He has a plastic mattress cover on a mattress that was GIVEN to us....so cheap mattress is a good way to go. He wears protection occassionally and is definitely responsible for washing his bedding without humiliation or punishment. It's just a way of life for now and eventually he will grow out of it. Oh! .... and he's a big fan of fabreeze for that smell in the room if he lingers on Sat & Sun mornings without cleaning himself up. ... View related article.
Oh my goodness you are a SAINT!! I'm a working single mom of three and I've made SO many quick fix awesome meals that the kids remember to this day that I cannot repeat for the life of me. I just made a couple this week and so this idea came right on time. As a single mom with little time to spare, I often times have to use the little moments to make a big impact. This will also give us an opportunity for interactive time. I'm going to have the kids help me remember how I made the dish and record it in a file on the PC harddrive just for them. When I ask what they want for dinner, they'll be able to recall it on the PC with a hardcopy as a backup of course!
