Are you feeling festive yet? I’m afraid I’m one of those irritating November Christmas-ers, and so there is a lot of Christmas in this round-up. I’ve tried to keep this month’s posts all quite positive so as to brighten your festive season. Being a single parent at this time of year can be a bit hard, but our lovely single parents are still writing some brilliant and uplifting posts!

This Lady Writes has written a lovely post about being the mother of an autistic child. It’s a truly beautiful post that’s really positive; her love for her son really shines through.

Doing her best to keep up with the positivity is Blush, Belly and Babies; this post about tooth brushing is something I think all parents can relate to. I’m certainly taking notes!

Speaking of positivity, did I mention it’s nearly Christmas? I’m rather excited, you might have noticed. I absolutely loved this post from Alice & Amelia with a Christmas advent box. I’m considering stealing half the ideas ready for December!

I loved this post on Oh So Amelia about ways of lowering energy bills; especially since at this time of year, my house is 80% fairy lights.

This post from Confessions of a Single Parent Pessimist may have made me a bit weepy. I love the sound of Claire’s mum, she sounds like such a positive role model. I do hope she’s on the mend now.

For anyone who’s not yet convinced of my love for Christmas, here Hannah Spannah Coco Banana  shows us how to make a simple hanging snowman. Do you wanna build a snowman? (oh, come on – as if you weren’t already singing it any way)

Finally, a post from yours truly – Single Mother Ahoy – about happiness. It’s underrated, and easier to obtain than a lot of people think!

If you’re a single parent blogger do please wave, jump and shout so as to draw attention to yourself and your blogging antics. Alternatively, you could add a post to the linky below!

NB There will be no Single Parent Round-up next month due to Christmas – we will return at the end of January. Do please continue to update this linky with posts of which you are proud; you can also contact me via Twitter (@singlemahoy) or email (singlemotherahoy@gmail.com) with your post submissions.

One last thing:

Merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful festive season, whether you’re a single parent, a double parent, a co-parent, a separated parent, a married parent… any kind of parent. And if you’re not a parent too!
