Hi! I’m so glad you found me. I am Marissa. In 2016, my world turned upside down in an instant when my husband was found dead and I was left alone to raise 8 and 10 year old boys. We have had quite a set of adventures over the past years figuring out how to face the world on our own. My biggest problem was that I wanted to raise men but did not have the faintest clue how to be one to lead by example. And now, my boys and I want to share our lessons and misadventures with other single moms. I know what it is like to suddenly find yourself with a challenge that neither permits failure (these are the lives of my kids after all) nor comes with an instruction manual or easy button.
If you are a single mother trying to figure out why boys behave the way they do, the truth is that, even after all of these years, I still have no idea. I can tell you that there is a heavenly Father who is a critical component to your journey. Pointing your children to God may be the best decision you ever make. I am living proof that single moms find a lot of failure and need a ton of grace. I am also figuring out, though, that great men can come from single parent households.
YOU ARE NOT IN THIS ALONE.
