Another Week - Another Project
In my opinion the most important quality for a mother is resourcefulness. And especially for a single mother.
Because it never fails. Your fifth-grade child will always wait until Friday night to announce that his science project is due at 8 a.m. Monday morning.
When my oldest son was young, I would panic, then scramble for ideas. Thanks to the Internet (and ten more years of parenting), I now just point and click.
A student can go online and find all sorts of ideas for free science fair projects.
Once a choice is made, you just pick up the supplies, and your budding scientist can put together their award-winning project.
And you can take a deep breath.
