Single Mom Moments

My Mom Moments...

I would like to give thanks to all the blessings in my life and most of all to the one who gives me life.... my son.

I was not always a single mom but since my son was 19 months the moments are plenty.
Its the little things you realize when you are parenting alone. 
You are the only one who stays up all night with a sick baby, the only one who holds your breath as you try to let your baby cry it out to fall asleep, the only one who prays they have the strength to make it through the first of many time outs.  My moments of privacy only happen when he is asleep but you learn to savor and appreciate all the time you have.You are also the one your child calls to,  reaches for and gives unconditional love to in so many ways. My little life with my little man is filled with LOTS of love. 

There are so many single mom's with much more than just one child with little to no help and it is the undeniable strength they have that remind me I am so truly blessed and fortunate.

Every parent has challenges they face and my intention for this post is to remind us all that no matter what the circumstance may be "be great full" for those who call us "Mom". 

In that I would also like to remind my mom who just happened to be the "single mom" who raised me and my two sisters and always made us feel loved. Thank you Mom.

Much Love

Spartan Kids!

Just recently I completed my second spartan sprint race in Barry. It was so much fun. Even better to watch my super brave God Son Ethan only 11 years old also complete the kids 1 km obstacle race. I am so proud and pumped of how amazing it he did! way to go Ethan you Rock!

This just inspires me to push even harder to really get the message across that fitness really has to be a big priority in our children's lives.

This fall I am hoping to Launch CORE KIDS FITNESS in elementary schools across the GTA.
Lets make every moment count!

Think outside the BOX!

"It takes a whole village to raise a child" African proverb.

This is so true for parents and anyone trying to reach a goal. I would like to remind you that you do not have to do it alone. Lean on a friend, family member and use all the resources made available to you.

Every day is a new day!
Enjoy,
Sincerely,

Coach Shanon
