I’ll give you a hint: this particular single mother blog is on there three times. Thanks, Madame!

how can we empower all our children?

Tracee Sioux is our new Blog Fabulous writer, and she is that–fabulous. She is a woman who empowers her girls, and I applaud her efforts.
It left me a bit sad for our sons, though. Who is empowering them? I know there’s a perception out there that men have all the power and women are weaker, […]

every once in a while, I like to ask myself… single mother, how you doin’?

A friend called to say he is a teeny bit worried about me. I figure, as a single father, he might have some insight into what it’s like to take care of a kid and work and clean and do all those things that used to be divided between two.  So when he says he’s […]

pancakes for dinner

Breakfast in our house is a hurried affair — whatever healthy muffin we can grab, a candy juice, a peanut-butter and jelly English muffin sandwich. The King of Everything and I are greatly enamoured of breakfast, though, and will lounge around in our jammies all morning long on the weekend with an indolent breakfast of […]

Single motherhood: the second six months

I finally did it.
I joined the gym. Now to get the time and guts to actually GO to the gym. At least it’s a step in the right direction. I have my gym bag, I have my trainers. I have something I can wear to the gym. And anyone who laughs at my big ole […]

We have a winner!

Congratulations to America, who will receive her very own copy of Rachel Sarah’s Single Mom Seeking sometime next week when I can get down to the post office and mail it out.
Thank you all for your honest conversation about dating… or the lack thereof.

from the other side of the pond: thoughts on being a single mom

There are some rumblings in Jolly Old England that girls are getting themselves knocked up so they can have a posh Council flat and live on the dole. If you scratch the surface of the blogosphere you can come across some pretty nasty, bitter blogs written by nasty, bitter men who seem to think that […]

Some further thoughts on dating

As you might know by now, this single mother thrives on music with interesting lyrics and good stories. I was listening to my little iPod Shuffle today at work when a particular song came on that gives me the giggles even as it gives me cause for alarm.The song is “Undewear” by Pulp:

Sleepless nights make for some good reading

Nancy Bartholomew is one of my favorite writers in the blog-o-sphere. I think hers was one of the first blogs I linked from SoloMother.
Like me, Nancy can’t sleep. Read her laugh out loud essay at Naked on Rollerskates, Counting Wild Dogs and Sad Sack Zebras Instead of Sheep. Maybe I should give her my […]
