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 […]

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 […]

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.

I’m only the single mother of a single boy, going on five, now. I don’t know much about children with special needs, older kids, or such and so.
Well, there are some terrific writers on this here channel who can give you some help and laughter on your individual journeys.

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
