OMG – my whole life has been ruled by this one phrase: Everything Happens For A Reason.
It’s what my Mama told me, it’s what I tell myself, and it’s what I tell my little girl.
Bless us all, it happens for a reason.
My sweet baby girl happened for a reason and I am grateful for every moment.

“Hell will be a cakewalk after this.” Kidding, but I’m potty training this week if that explains anything.
I love this idea and I regularly use two mantras: “It’s an adventure!” and “There’s a reason for everything, even if I don’t know why yet.”
Interestingly, I’ve been using the latter two since childhood, so they must work because I’m still going strong. I can’t wait to see what others use.
Jennifer’s last blog post..Potty Training Success
I find myself saying “today I choose to do what I can” i know a lot of things are out of my control and by reminding myself that i am doing everything that i can relieves some of the pressure of everyday life.
as everyone knows, life of a single parent is a juggling act…we can’t always do EVERYTHING we wish we could…but we can do what we can in the moment!
What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.
Cat’s last blog post..
Borrowed from Teddy Roosevelt:
Do the best you can with what you have, when you have it.
No point in sitting around going what if, if only…just do the best you can right now. If that child support check comes in next month, fabulous! But right now, you don’t have it…just do the best you can. I can’t make every field trip, but I do the best I can to stay in touch with teachers and go on the ones that I can go on.
My grandma always told me, “Do your best and that’s all you can do!” I use that a bunch to remind myself that I don’t have to be perfect.
My parenting mantra in general is “Resist the urge to compare.” But I don’t think that’s t-shirt worthy. I really like ‘everything happens for a reason’ and I also often think ‘this too shall pass’ but I would not buy a shirt with either of those because, it would seem reflective of my attitude toward my children, not situational. If I were to buy a shirt, it would need a really positive slogan.
And I think positivity is my mantra for single mothering. Don’t sit around whining, get off your pitypot and make it so!
I suppose you can’t put that on a shirt.
Breathe!

Here are a few of my personal mantras:
“Don’t live in the past or worry too much about the future; stay in the moment and live for today.”
“Enjoy everything in moderation.”
“Life is what you make it.”

John F’s last blog post..How Much Time To Spend With Kids
Child rearing is the toughest job I’ve ever loved.
i spent a lot of time wondering if i would be enough for my child on my own. “I am more than enough” became my mantra early on.

Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.
Whenever I feel a bit overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities, the kids arguing and no one to rely on for help, I remind myself: I’m the only one they have. I have to manage it.
After nearly 10 years of single mommyhood, I’m pretty okay at it most of the time. But it never gets easy.
Mine has always been: It is what it is and we have to live life no matter what.
My mom hates that. LOL!
Pamala’s last blog post..How fast they move on…
“A hard head makes for a soft a@#” My father always said this to me when I wanted control over my life and never listened to their wisdom. Now that I am a single mom and rely on them and not my daughter’s father. I realize everday I need to listen to older people who have wisdom beyond what I know or think I know.

It’s all about balance.
Everything in life is only for now.
Every emotion has a beginning, middle and end.
April’s last blog post..Waiting for Monday…
I’m no longer a single mom but when I was my mantra was “I’m doing the best that I can with what I have”.
my hat goes off to all the single mommies out there, you really have the toughest job in the world and deserve way more credit than most people give you!!!

“Be patient. Nothing good you do for your children is wasted.”
This is a quote that I found years ago, and I love it and say it in my head often! The words, which have come to have great meaning, are on my refrigerator and next to my computer at work! Building children with good values, good manners, and a good heart is not easy!
I didn’t write it but I totally believe it and live it….Jon Bon Jovi:
“welcome to where ever you are…you’ve made it this far. Your’e exactly where you’re supposed to be…”
I would have to say “Everything happenes for a reason” Being a single mom at 24 to 2 little girls. Second little one was NOT planned. I was terrified. I knew my marriage was on the rocks. I was not working. I look back an question why I was with him in the first place, and have 2 kids from him. Well, my girls are amazing. They were truely meant to be. My youngest was my birth control baby. But she is amazing, and both my girls make me so much stronger than I can imagine.
