When I was a little girl I can remember the early days of spring with my dad and little brother. We were fortunate enough to have a park located just at the end of our street. The area of the park that was closest to us had a big open field that was perfect for flying kites. We always had a great time together and those are some of the special memories I still hold from when I was growing up.

The hectic pace of life that many single moms face during the week can be overwhelming but it is important to spend some quality time with the children as much as possible. The windy days of April and May are perfect weather for flying a kite. So, my fellow single mommies, plan to take the kids out to a nice open area this weekend and fly kites together.

If the weather turns nasty and you can’t get outside to fly a kite spend the day inside and make your own kite. All moms have some amount of creativity within them so even though you may think you have none, just take some time and make this a special mommy and child time and let your creativity flow wherever it may take you.
