In honor of this month’s Carnival roundup on b5media, courtesy of Kelly over at Thrifty Mommy, I present, without further ado:
Top Ten Most Fabulous Things for Single Mothers
- The Six O’Clock Scramble - when you absolutely, positively, do not have time to shop or cook.
- Satsuma: It’s impossible to be depressed when you smell this good.
- Everyday Minerals: Flawless, glowing skin, without the muss and fuss of ‘base face’ and so much less expensive than the other powder makeup folks!
- Let’s Dish: If you really, really can’t deal with dinner, get a little social, get a lot of dinner, and skip the clean up.
- DC Urban Mom (or your neighborhood equivalent)
- What About the Kids
: Practical, no holds-barred information about the mechanics of divorce, how to avoid the worst of it, how to make the best of it. - Monster.com
Need job? Get job. - College credit for life experience: Women with college degrees make more money than those without. Parlay your work experience into college credit and jump that much closer to your degree.
- Emergency babysitting services: so… what are you going to do when your kid is sick and you have to be at work?
- Freecycle: When free is what you’re willing to pay, this is the way to do it! Plus, it’s the ultimate in recycling.
Gayla, you said it. Most of my work clothes are Freecycle. I can’t wait to get an apartment for me and the boo, then I’ll be a Freecycle QUEEN!
Having been there done that on the single mom scene, I’d say you have a great list going!
I’m a HUGE fan of Freecycle. I’m on the three surrounding counties boards in my area. What a brilliant idea that gal had!
