It wasn’t an option between security or adventure for me. Jeopardising my security meant my son was going into foster care. I needed to give my son the personalised love and attention only his birth mom could give.

Supermoms Take on Security
Providing a stable and secure environment for our children is paramount. Security means more than just financial stability. It encompasses emotional security, a safe home, and a reliable routine. Our kids thrive on knowing what to expect. It helps them feel safe and they can flourish when and are surrounded by love and consistency.
That means spending time at work, in business or in service delivery and in being creative. You can’t compromise quality because that directly results in jeopardising your child’s security. And your security too. Your security is directly tied to your child’s security.
This security builds their confidence, helps them develop healthy relationships, and lays a strong foundation for their future.
Deflower gives the wrong impression that a single person, a single event, can reverse you from being the ever-blossoming flower you are. A woman blossoms every season, and every adventure is your season.

Supermoms Case for Adventure
Security or adventure? Supermoms value adventure. Adventure plays a crucial role in our children’s development. Adventure encourages curiosity, resilience, and creativity. It teaches our kids to embrace new experiences, take risks, and learn from their mistakes. Most of all, adventure helps every supermom unlock her creativity, spontaneity and blossoming. You have to blossom. You can’t be that flower that never had her blossom, like a caged bird.
Adventure can be as simple as exploring a new park, trying out a different hobby, or going on a spontaneous road trip. These experiences enrich our lives and help our children grow into well-rounded individuals.
I prioritise Flexibility. Life is unpredictable, especially for single moms. It took being ready to adapt. I tried to find opportunities for adventure in everyday moments.

Final Thoughts
Which should you prioritize? The answer lies in striking a balance between security and adventure. Here’s how we recommend you do it:
- Prioritize Security: This helps to create a stable foundation. Every building starts with a strong foundation. Ensure that your children have a safe, loving home and a predictable routine. This stability will give them the confidence to explore the world.
- Incorporate Small Adventures: There’s no need to scale mountains or travel the world to introduce adventure into your kids’ lives. Plan small, manageable adventures that fit into your schedule and budget. Start with one right in your home!
- Be the Role Model: Show your kids that it’s possible to be both secure and adventurous. Let them see you take calculated risks, try new things, and embrace change.
- Encourage Their Passions: Support your children’s interests, whether they are artistic, athletic, or academic. This support provides a secure base from which they can explore their passions.
In the end, the goal is to create a nurturing environment where our kids feel both secure and inspired to explore the world. By blending security with a touch of adventure, we can help our children become resilient, curious, and confident individuals.
Remember, every supermom has a unique story. You’re all doing an amazing job. Let’s continue to support each other in finding that perfect balance.
