As a single parent with two sons ages 7 and 5, I often wonder if I am making the “right” decision about a range of topics from the soap I use to appropriate forms of discipline. I am in constant dialogue with myself regarding the best methods for raising two men. I often quiz mothers and fathers with success stories for insight into this process, but lately I’ve been learning to tune into myself. I’ve realized that what may work for one boy may not work for either of mine and I need to relax and enjoy these moments. I find mommying to be a wonderful adventure. It is a job I take very seriously and it actually is the most important job I have at the moment. It is a blessing to have my boys as they enrich every day of my life. I owe who I am at this very moment to these beautiful beings.

Even if they get into a bit of mischief from time to time, I figure it’s all a part of the adventure. I simply have to teach them to clean up the mess and/or why they should never do what they did again. In the process of teaching my sons I am learning so much including what a DivaMom I actually am. So I figure I’d write about it.
