Introduction to SPIN

Welcome to the Official SPIN (Single Parents In Need) Blog!  Most of you will find this blog based on invite, but if you've stumbled upon it by accident then welcome!  We are a faith-based support group in the Milford, NH area for Single Parents.  We were first established around 2014 so we've been active for quite some time, but are starting to dip our toes into a much bigger pool.  The purpose of this blog will be to basically establish a timeline of activities and community events pertaining to SPIN.  My goal is have a reference point for future parents to go back and experience all the blessings that SPIN has to offer.   We meet in person monthly to discuss challenges/struggles/victories but our community is not just limited to once a month.  Each month we may host an activity, a celebration, a talk "therapy session," or a guest speaker on basic life skills. This blog will include entries of at least once a month to summarize that month's meeting.  Any other scheduled events will also be highlighted.  So follow along and join us in a meeting! -Kris

How is December half over already?

I cannot believe that winter is fast upon us here in New Hampshire.  It's been a hot minute since I got on to talk about SPIN, so I wanted to get everyone back up to speed on the last few months.  Is it just me or does time fly by sooooo much faster once the kids go back to school?  So in lieu of our usual monthly gathering (I've decided calling them gatherings instead of meetings feels much more inviting) we had planned a reunion cookout.  A few of our former friends that have moved on or gotten married were going to join us to catch up! Unfortunately, mother nature had other plans, and we got rained out.  The gathering was quickly relocated to a local coffee shop where I heard it was a huge success!  Fast forward to October where we hosted our annual crockpot meal exchange.  This event is a favorite among our moms because it's fun and it takes the mental load off of the endless question of "what's for dinner?"  When you have school aged kids in ...
