Solomother nominated as a candidate for top influential blog of 2007

How fun! And thank you for the nomination.
Now, here’s where we need help. Hop on over to this site and re-nominate SoloMother to keep this site in the standings. Wouldn’t that be nice, to see a single parenting/mothering blog up in the ranks? Give us some clout, some street cred, don’tchaknow?

have you begun your holiday shopping yet?

The most organized mothers I know have a Stash. They have some trunk or cupboard filled with gifts to go. Considering that I have only three tiny closets in my house, I don’t think I can dedicate the space to a full-fledged gift shop, but I could be a little more savvy when it comes […]

A great article from Essence magazine on how to survive as a single mom

What day is it, the 18th? and I’m still waiting for child support. It’s always a nice surprise when it does finally arrive–and to do my ex justice, it does always arrive… just later rather than sooner. With the hospital bills for the kid’s surgery about to come due, I’m looking forward to that small […]

Single mom needs a date

One of the things about being a single mom at a certain age is the… smaller pool of applicants, if you know what I mean. Guys my age are mostly interested in gals ten years younger, or are married, or are otherwise unavailable. Mostly, I’m ok with that… or at least, I thought I was…

Hello, Single mothers! There’s a magazine just for us!

Rachel Sarah over at Single Nurturing, my favorite, fearless author of “Single Mother Seeking“, turned me on to this fact: there’s a glossy magazine just for us single moms! And you can sign up for a free trial, just by clicking here.
I’m curious. I’m excited. We’re important enough to have our own niche demographic. Rar.

Are all mothers feeling the same way I do?

I had to take a few days off work when the King of Everything got his tonsils and adenoids removed last week. By Friday, I was definitely worried about me.
I couldn’t stop working, even though I’d scheduled the time off.
What’s WRONG with me?
I even thought about calling this help line we have at work–it’s this […]

Did you have a good Mother’s Day?

Welcome to our humble home! I’d stayed up until midnight Saturday night, cleaning the house and polishing the silver and setting the table. It was my first Mother’s Day as a single mom. I wanted it to be special.
I thought I’d tell you the story of how I come to have such lovely things, considering […]

Sometimes, single mom, all you can do is… all you can do

The King of Everything is recovering from his surgery. He doesn’t know how to slow down, take care of himself, take it easy. He moves pell mell through life and doesn’t stop til he drops; the pain in his throat makes eating and drinking a chore he’d rather forgo. By six he’s wilted, his head […]

I’m not entirely honest, single mothers…

There’s a lot I don’t talk about. I’m not like Dooce, willing to risk being fired for saying something not quite PC. I will not say anything mean about my ex, not here, and not to the general public. I don’t ever want it to get back to my son. And, having opened my big […]
