A lovely local mother just gifted me with the motherload of handmedowns for the King of Everything. I’m in the process of washing and sorting it — he’s got enough clothes to last him three years now! I’m so blessed. There are so many clothes that I’m probably going to split the lot and find […]

It seems we’ve fallen into another golden time we’ll look back on when we’re older–with fondness and nostalgia, I hope. I’m a lucky single mother.
When I was a little girl, my father would take me to Doc Dalinsky’s over on Wisconsin and O Streets. It was a pharmacy, an old fashioned drugstore, where Nettie who […]

I wonder what life would have been like if I’d made the decision to have a child without the active involvement of a father. Would this be easier or harder or just different? I don’t know. Whether a woman finds herself with an unplanned pregnancy and decides to forge ahead, father or no… or if […]

I don’t know about you single moms out there, but this summer just flew by for us… mostly thanks to my amazing mom, who took the King of Everything on adventures large and small, from an amazing playground to a waterpark to a friend’s house with a lake to a road trip down south. Me? […]

I posted about a meme challenge to list ten things I like about myself.
I’m still thinking. I promised I’d write this today, and here it is, almost nine o’clock at night and I’ve not written a word. I’m getting up at four in the morning to go to New York; I’d better get to […]

Maria over at Mme. Meow’s Daily Dose of Zen Sarcasm tagged me to write ten things I like about myself.
I’m having a hard time doing that, right now.
Ahem. In the interest of full disclosure, I think I have a hard time doing that any time. I’m rough on myself. I demand perfection and, since […]
