What the Toys R Us Closing Taught Me About Shopping Local

The Toys R Us liquidation has been very upsetting to me and a little hard to process. I think that I may be in denial about the entire thing and I find myself heading there more often now that I know that it is closing. Literally, my Toys R Us nostalgia is so high and I find myself buying more toys and spending way too much money in there. I think that the Toys R Us liquidation is hard because I was a Toys R Us kid and about 70% of the stuff (excluding clothing) for my twins have come…

How to stay sane during the summer and not go broke

How Single Moms Can Stay Sane and Not Go Broke During the Summer

In Finance

According to a survey by TODAY Parents, 44% of parents think that summer is more stressful than the rest of the year. There is another study by Seeker that shows that during the summer months stress increases because of pressure to keep children occupied, extended family time, managing busy social calendars, packed weekends, and work piling up after an extended vacation. I believe that summer vacation can be even more stressful for single moms because of the added stress of finding affordable and reliable childcare. There’s also increased financial stress from the pressure to figure out educational, enjoyable, and safe…

Anything Can Happen: How to Make Sure That You’re Ready for Tragedy Financially

In Finance

The one thing about life is you never know what can happen. Matthew 6:34 (NLT) says, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” But what you can do is to be prepared. When I was in corporate America, I had a great job, made 6-figures per year, and I thought the financial good times would last forever, but they didn’t. Next thing you know I’m dealing with workplace bullying, it’s impacting my health, and then I made the decision to leave my well-paying job before I planned to because…

Holiday Shopping on a Budget 101: What You Do and Do Not Need to Buy for Your Kids

In Finance, Phenomenal Living

The holidays can be deeply overwhelming as a single mom. It can be difficult if money is tight and it may serve as a reminder of the other parent’s absence. Sometimes we think that it is our job to love or provide for them times two. At one point, I shared with a friend the pressure that I felt as a single mom. I felt like I had to be both parents and make up for the fact that their dad walked out. I told her that I never wanted my children to feel his absence. She told me that…

Event Recap: Securing Mi Financial Future

In Finance

I had the pleasure of speaking at the Securing Mi Financial Future on October 5th. I spoke about creating a vision for your life, conquering debt, increasing your savings, and building a legacy for your future. After I spoke, I sat and listened to the other speakers. Although I am a financial educator, I love to be a student as well, so I can learn more about how I can improve the financial health of my family and serve my Phenomenal Moms even more. Here are some highlights from the sessions: Align Your Finances With Your Vision: Aisha Taylor…

Meet Aisha

Hi, I'm Aisha and I'm a phenomenal, single mom of twins.

My life suddenly changed once I found out I was pregnant, and shortly thereafter realized that I was going to be a single mom. I couldn't believe that I was in this situation. However, this journey has been a total blessing.

On this journey, I realized that what happened to me is not unique, and I wanted to provide an online community for single moms. Therefore, I created FNPhenomenal to help single moms thrive financially and live phenomenally using Biblical principles to teach money management, self-care, and the importance of building a legacy for their family.

It's possible to live an amazing life and still be a single mom.
