The Challenges of Single Mothers

Because of incompatibilities and so many other reasons, couples that separate are increasing. Mothers became single mothers who are left by their husbands with responsibilities both financially and raising kids alone. It is fortunate to some if their husbands still offer financial support but for a full time single mothers, this can be difficult especially if the kids are ages below five. She often needs to get an extra job just to support their needs physically, emotionally, and all about other needs. Rearing her children alone can be very stressfull while fulfilling household chores. Among these challenges, dealing with her children behavior is one of the most challenging one.

Favorite Dessert Crepe

I am not really a cook but when it comes to dessert, I try to make one if my time permits.
I love crepes but it is quite expensive if you will order it from a restaurant. That is why a homemade crepe is preferred one and it is a great feeling when you have prepared for your family which they can enjoy after a full meal.

One Sunday, I tried to prepare fruit crepe. Here are the ingredients I included:

All-purpose flour
Banana
Apple
Cream 
Chocolate syrup
Ice Cream 
Cereal
Choco roll

I am happy while taking the photo of my crepe, but I was not able to take a shot when I already included the ice cream. Next time, I will try other variations.
