It was an incredible event, where Sovereign Hill was transformed into a massive lightshow, with images and lights projected on all the buildings. Last year I created a bit of a storm on CSMC’s Single Mothers Stronger Together Facebook group when I posted about visiting Sovereign Hill’s Winter Wonderlights Festival. Weekends aways sometime seem hardly worth the effort or the money. Totally worth it, but for me, holidays with the kids happen once or twice a year.
There’s the organising beforehand, and absolutely no downtime during the holiday, as well as the shouldering of the entire financial cost. All the fun times, all the challenging moments, have contributed to memories that will last my lifetime and have helped create a wonderful childhood for my daughters.īut for single mothers, holidays can also be a whole lot of hard work. And I know every single mother is thinking, yep, now multiply that by 100.Īs a single mother by choice, I have only ever holidayed with my kids as a single mother – and they have been some of the best times of my life, and also of my kids’ lives. I can practically feel every mother reading this nodding their heads in solemn agreement. Years ago, when I first went on a holiday with my baby daughter, my sister-in-law, also a mother, warned: “The thing you have to remember about holidays as a mother, Margie, is that it’s not really a holiday: it’s just transporting the chaos to a different location, and one where you don’t have all your stuff or support networks to help you.”
