My Village Looks After Single Moms On Mother's Day, And It Means So Much To Me

I love this piece by our own Sarah Aswell about the different ways her people show up for her on Mother's Day post-divorce. She writes, "Each year my friend group goes to a group of cabins in the woods for the weekend to celebrate Mother's Day. It's a group of six families, including two single moms. Initially, I was so happy to be included in the celebration in the first place, but then I got the details: the single moms were to have zero tasks for the weekend. They were going to be cared for by the community. The meals would be planned without us, the mental load would be lifted, and we would just be asked to relax and enjoy."

I'm in awe of the tenacity of her village, and hope that all the moms – single or not – have people like these around them, for Mother's Day and every other day of the year.

Calling All Moms Seeking A Village – Watch The Motherhood

In Her New Unscripted Series The Motherhood, Connie Britton is Improving Mothers' Lives

As they say, it takes a village to raise a child. Acclaimed actress and single mother Connie Britton knows this firsthand. That's why she's helping a lucky group of single moms build that support system on her new unscripted series The Motherhood, (premiering tonight at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel, streaming next day on Hallmark+).

Throughout the six episodes of the season, this heartwarming show follows Britton and a team of experts (nicknamed "the Neighbor Ladies") as they help different moms realize the transformation they're craving.

With DIY decor updates from home design specialist Angela Rose, personal everyday style advice from Taryn Hicks, and self-discovery exercises from positive parenting coach Destini Ann, each mom ends her journey with renewed energy. Plus: a sense that filling up her own cup is just as important as topping up everyone else's.
