Last weekend, we decided to have a family evening and I could see the excitement on my son's face as soon as I told him. We started the evening by preparing dinner together. My son loves to help in the kitchen, so we made homemade pizza, one of his favorite dishes. While the pizza was in the oven, we set the table and talked about our day.

Once dinner was ready, we sat down to eat and my son couldn't stop talking about his day at school. We laughed and shared stories as we enjoyed our delicious pizza. It was a simple meal, but it was made special by the fact that we made it together.

After dinner, we decided to play a board game. We have a collection of board games that we like to play together, and we chose one that we hadn't played in a while. It was so much fun to sit around the table and compete against each other. We laughed, joked, and had a great time.

As the evening started to wind down, we snuggled up on the couch and watched a movie together. We had chosen a family-friendly film that we could all enjoy, and my son was so excited to watch it. As we watched the movie, we talked about the characters, the plot, and what we liked and didn't like about it.

The family evening was a huge success, and I could see the happiness on my son's face. It's moments like these that make all the hard work and challenges of being a single mother worth it. Spending time with my son and creating memories that we'll cherish forever is the greatest gift that I could ask for.

In conclusion, as a single mother, it's important to take the time to have family evenings and make memories with your children. It doesn't have to be anything extravagant, but just spending quality time with each other can create a bond that will last a lifetime. I'm grateful for my son and for the opportunity to create these special moments with him.
