Who’s da winnah? Bloggy giveaway winner right here, folks…

I’m so glad the King of Everything is going to be a scientist when he grows up, because he was such a help in figuring out the winner of the Bloggy Giveaways here on SoloMother. Yes, ladies and gentleman (you know who you are, don’t be shy!), there is a winner of the Sexy Moves […]

Bloggy Giveaways! Sexy dancing…

Sometimes, a single mom’s got to let her hair down… even when, like me, her hair is too short to be anything BUT up… sticking up, that is.
Thing is, some of us might not know how to let our hair down without looking like a total dork. In honor of the Bloggy Giveaway carnival, I’ve […]

Mom lets 9 year old ride subway alone, gets skewered… Kid’s fine

Arg. What on earth have we been reduced to??
Lenore Skenazy, a columnist for the New York Sun, wrote a column about letting her kid go home from Bloomies by himself. Apparently, the reaction was… mixed, to say the least.

Some b5bloggers you ought to check out

Well, there are some terrific writers on this here channel who can give you some help and laughter on your individual journeys.

Saturday’s round up of good things and bad and indifferent

You know, I wouldn’t go through another breakup for all the tea in China, nor for the $108 million that Heather Mills is getting in that oh so celebrity divorce from Sir Paul. 55 million pounds, and she says she has to leave England because everyone hates her. Or some such. Perhaps it was just […]

In celebration of the upcoming holiday, the b5media Lifestyles Channel participated in their own little carnival, hearts and flowers, hugs and kisses…
Because of nasty weather and the horrible flu bug going around and the recent server outage, some of the channel wasn’t able to participate. But when it comes to something like Valentine’s Day, […]

another Valentine, this one to my aunt

Today is the one year anniversary of the death of my aunt, my mother’s sister, my cousin’s mother.

Single mom by choice and author Lori Gottlieb: settle for Mr. Good Enough

I went on the dating junket for a while, and joked with friends about my various Match.com finds that, “He isn’t Mr. Right… but he might be Mr. Right Now.” I went on a series of first dates, some hysterical, some hellish, all with men who had something to recommend themselves… to anyone else but […]

Are you thinking about adoption?

I think about adopting a child, from time to time. My kid really should be one of five (he’s lobbying for one of fifteen, but even Mother Theresa wouldn’t be able to handle that insanity!), and I feel bad that he’s an only child. I don’t have any idea of how to even begin to […]

Introducing Choice Mom Mikki Morrisette!

There’s a book on my bedside table that I’m dying to delve into, called “Choosing Single Motherhood: The Thinking Woman’s Guide” by Mikki Morrisette. Ms. Morrisette chose motherhood twice, with the same donor father, as a single woman. Along the way she put together a tool kit for other women who might be considering this […]
