I turned 40 this year. It sucked. It didn’t suck in the way I thought it would suck–being 40, in and of itself, is okay. It really does feel like the new 30, or whatever marketers are coming up with to distract us from the fact that our stocks just bombed, our parents’ life savings […]
The King of Everything and I finally got fed up with the rain, today. We set out for an adventure, and braved the alternating sun and showers and sun showers to go oggle the Crafty Bastards Arts and Crafts fair.
The crowds were insane. Every third booth was filled with clever, silk-screened tee shirts. The […]
Saw this book in the library today: Fix, Freeze, and Feast: More than 125 recipes to prepare in bulk and by the serving. If you’ve got room in your deep freeze, this is absolutely the way to go. When you get around to cooking, why go to all the fuss and bother for just one […]
As we gather up our belongings to head home, curl up on the couch, and watch the first of the 2008 Election’s Presidential Debates, let’s not forget the single mothers whose families made the ultimate sacrifice. Let’s not forget women like Suzie Fetterman, whose fiance was killed in Iraq in 2007.

Author Mikki Morrissette is inviting women in the New York area to join her and others to celebrate single motherhood. Here’s her take on it:
Letting anyone in the NYC area know that we’re gathering a great group of women who have opted to have kids on their own, on Saturday afternoon, October 4. Great speakers […]
I love how something brings new friends into my life. Like Singles Week. “Unmarried and Single Americans Week”, to be precise. When I wrote about it here on SoloMother, Dating Dames picked up the cry. And I remembered I’m a single, available woman, not just a solomother. I’ll get some tips from them whenever […]
I don’t get it. I send the kid to school in underwear. He comes home in underwear. But when all the laundry is done, all the clothes put away, he’s out of underwear.
Is it a boy thing? I mean seriously. How does this HAPPEN?? I’ve long grown used to the inescapable law that states: one […]
I often hear from other single mothers that in some ways, they like being single mothers for one very simple reason: they don’t have to defer to anyone else’s ideas on how a house or family should be run. A benign dictatorship seems appealing on some mornings, when ‘because I said so’ is so much […]
I’ve been having a great time tonight, perusing Single Minded Women. You’ll find some great cameraderie, support, and tips over there. Not the least of which is… drumroll please…
Their weekly Single Moms blog, where they round up links you’re sure to love.
If the articles alone don’t capture your attention, then perhaps the chance to win […]
This is an invitation to participate in two book carnivals. The original carnival, What’s on your nightstand? has become quite popular, and has inspired a book recommendation carnival from and for kids. Kid’s Picks will round up your kids’ favorite books on the third Tuesday of every month.
I am eternally grateful for books, books on […]
