A chocolate promise from us to you

Filed under All
When we launched Singlemommyhood a little more than a year ago, we had one goal: to give you a soft place to land.
Thank you for helping us create a community that mainstream media often ignore, or portray in a less than positive way. We’re beyond-honored that you’ve joined us. We love how honest you are, and how openly you share your experiences.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we promise you: we’re here for you. Always feel free to drop by and tell us what’s on your mind. We’ll listen. We’ll write back.
Right now, we’re enjoying hearing about your Valentine’s Day plans. Whether you’re going on a date, hanging out with your kids, enjoying some well deserved down time, hosting a party for your friends…we’re sure chocolate will be big part of the fun!
So, when Dove® Chocolate and Martha Stewart Living recently contacted us about hosting a chocolate giveaway, we thought, “Perfect.”
Especially when we heard that part of Dove’s giveaway included a sampling of their “Chocolate Promises,” assorted milk and dark.
We’re giving away gift packages to four of you, filled with:
- DOVE Chocolate Promises
- DOVE Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter
- DOVE Peanut Toffee Crunch
- DOVE Truffle Heart Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate
Here’s how to enter:
Simply leave a special Valentine’s Day greeting to our Singlemommyhood community.
What fun! We can’t wait to read your Valentine’s wishes for all of us!

You all have helped me on my singlemommyhood journey. I have learned a lot and I feel connected to this community in a beautiful way. Here are the last line of lyrics to one of my favorite songs…I Wish You Love (Love the Natalie Cole version)
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot time, I wish you love.
All kinds of love, a whole gang of love.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

OMG! It’s been over a year for SingleMommyHood already? Wow, how time flies.
That said, I LOVE my single parent blogging community. It’s been there for me in or out of a relationship, through dating, parenting, ex drama, etc. So basically it’s been WAY more realible and consistent than any man!
Happy V-day to the blogoshere! I heart you.

The love of a Single Mother is so divine, because the love she has for her kids is intertwined, not with one heart but many, because the joy in her heart is still a plenty; despite all ups and downs on this single motherhood journey, she will always cherish each moment of with her special miracle honey!
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!

From someone who went through hell, and came out the other side, I know Valentine’s can suck. If you don’t have anyone to share it with, begin with yourself and your kids. The rest is just frosting…

@Travis: You know that we’re very fond of dads here… thanks for making us laugh.
@Anna: You got that right! We encourage everyone to start Valentine’s Day off by writing a love letter to yourself. What have you done recently that you’re proud of? What are your strengths? Go for it!

I love this community- there are always so many different viewpoints, but communication is always respectful and oriented toward the goal of helping people. I hope that this Valentine’s day everyone is content and at peace.

Happy Valentine’s Day and thanks for all of your advice and support.
The kids’ mom is in town for winter break next week so we’ll probably celebrate V-Day on Thursday with cards, candy, and lots of hugs. A nice dinner with my girlfriend is in the plans for the actual day. When I was single I used to hang out with my friend who’s birthday is Feb 14.
I hope everyone has a great day regardless of what they’ve got going on.

Happy V’s Day!
Last year, 1 week before V’s Day, I realized I was in love (finally) and I was so excited-scared-freaked out about telling my boyfriend! I finally burst on Feb 13th, one day early; I covered his mouth as he was mid-sentence and whispered it into his ear. He looked straight at me and said without a moment’s hesitation,”Good Baby; me too.”
This year, I am so happy to be able to just say it to him all over the place, all the time. I wish everybody that same certainty, no matter who you say it to – your family, your kids, your doggie.
to celebrate this year, my boyfriend has made reservations for us at a lovely French restaurant and we will celebrate V’s Day on the 12th (we will enjoy the 14th, together, and with whichever of our collective 3 kids we have that day).

Having chosen to not have kids, I’ve always marveled at you moms and what you are able to juggle. And you single moms — wow! I have no idea how you keep it together, yet you do! Single moms have raised incredible kids who contribute to the world. So I raise my glass in honor of you single moms who are showing your (and others’) kids how you can be strong, loving, resourceful, and amazing even in the face of daunting tasks every day to keep your kids well, in school, clean, fed and emotional stable. Thanks for being an inspiration to the rest of us. Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s so nice to have a community of single moms to connect with. I’m sure none of us ever thought we would be in this position, but at least through Singlemommyhood.com we know we are not alone. Even though I don’t have a sweetie, hubby, or boyfriend to share this holiday with, I’m forever grateful to share the day with my son, who will always be the love of my life… Happy Valentine’s Day single mommies!! Here’s to a day filled with love, joy, and excitement… and a big fat luscious hug to you all!!! OXOXO

My favorite Valentine’s Day memory is from when I was in college. My friend Dmitry was kinda odd and on the fringes of the group who hung out at the Christian fellowship I was involved in, but he was a good guy with a wonderful heart. One year he got someone to drive him to the store (he didn’t have a car) and bought a bag of some chocolate hearts (this was a big deal for him as he really was a poor, staving college student) and he gave one to each of the girls who were a part of this ministry who weren’t currently dating anyone. He knew that V-Day could be tough on those of us who we single and he thought this gesture might make the season a bit easier for us. It wasn’t a big, grand gesture but it was huge for those of us who were on the receiving end.

I made sure that I had my kids this year for Valentine’s Day. I wasn’t sure there would be anyone special in my life…only there is…and I could think of no one I’d rather spend the day with than the kids. We’re making a special weekend of it. We have been building a list of things we want to accomplish this year as a family that we started on the new year. And we’re going to accomplish as many of those items as possible, document them for posterity. I can’t adequately express how much I’m looking forward to it in a way I never thought I would.
Somehow I thought I would be destroyed at the thought of facing that day, but love from the kids, love from friends, and potential love in a new relationship make everything all better. (The love shared with kids especially!)

To all the strong and resilient moms, have a great valentines day
some years are filled with chocolate and roses. some are filled with only the love of a child. i’ll always take the love of a child, but chocolate and roses are a bonus. i hope this year you have it all.
…may all your Valentines be special!
Wow a year way to go… I appreciate your support you have given to the single parent community a big HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY To You!!!!
Valentine’s Day is hard for me I have been divorced from my son’s dad for over ten years and shortly after our divorce he died, since then I have not had huge success in the dating arena. So when I joined single mothers and sons (http://www.singlemothersandsons.org/index.html) I thought it would be nice for the moms to go out on Valentine’s day. So, I planned a movie and dinner night, we are going out to eat and then to watch the movie Valentine’s Day on Feb 14. So, I will enjoy the company of other moms and not feel discouraged. Whatever you do on V day make the most of it:-)

Wow, a year already? I remember stumbling upon the new site as you tweaked it. So glad to have this community.
Keep your heart open, everyone. You never know who might be ready to step into it.
Happy Valentine’s Day! I think mine is going to be spent with the King of Everything and a shared sundae at Johnny Rocket’s
All I know is that since having my little girl 3 years ago, I have never had a sad Valentine’s Day. It is a wonderful day to celebrate love and I now walk around happy with joy in my heart. I wish all the single mommies a day of hugs & kisses with the love of their life, their child(ren). Thank you singlemommyhood for giving us an outlet to vent, laugh & rejoice.
