Smile is a Nonprofit created BY single mothers for single mothers.

We are a community here to equip you with support, positivity, education and resources.

Introduction:

The Newsletter will come to you monthly, including tips on how to be the best Mom you can be, regardless of where you're at right now. Sometimes that means meal planning help, budgeting tips, advice on how in the world do you save for retirement on one income, or co-parenting ideas.

With that said, here are some helpful tips to get you started👊

1. Barter Services:

Leverage your skills by bartering them with friends or other parents. For example, if you're good at graphic design, you might offer to design a friend's resume in exchange for babysitting hours.

2. Automate Savings:

Set up a small automatic transfer to a savings account each payday. Even a small amount can add up over time and having it automated means you're less likely to skip it.

3. Fun & Games: Co-Parenting Edition

Gather the troops (aka your kiddos) for a fun-filled game night! From board games to charades, it's the perfect way to bond and create lasting memories. Get crafty with your co-parent and kiddos by tackling a DIY project together. Whether it's building a birdhouse or painting pottery, it's a great way to bond and unleash your creative side.
