There’s a bit of angst going around the Net lately. Bad things are happening to innocent people. Single moms and dads are wondering if they’ll ever go on a date again.
You have to read one of the latest installments of Admit You’ve Made a Mistake and Move on. Patrick and Tamara have been writing […]
I did it. I moved a two bedroom townhome by myself–with the assistance on moving day of Steve and Derrick, two of the nicest men a single mom could ever meet. They hauled all our stuff down all the stairs, loaded it on the truck, drove it to the new place, unloaded it all, and […]
I love Tam. I’ve followed her escapades around greater New York and the far suburbs thereof (yes, sometimes, the rest of the world can feel like a suburb of New York… and I’m not even a New Yorker).
So I’m thrilled to pimp her latest, collaborative project, Huge Mistake. Part art experiment, part musicbox for the […]
Today was the Kite Festival. Today was tired happy excited kids on the Mall, running around in a fitful wind trying to keep their kites off the ground.
Today was the second day that the KoE’s papa is in town to visit for a week.
Today was running into people I know, people I love, people […]
I have absolutely no idea what to say.
My kid is five. My amazing, funny, high maintenance, gobsmacking, utterly hysterical, kind, sweet, thoughtful little guy is a whole hand old, and I’m in awe of him. He’s come so far in such a short time, dealing with utter equanimity the bizzare turns this past week has […]
I really have to thank Kelly for introducing me to Didn’t Have to Be by Brad Paisley. I don’t do C&W, so this one completely slipped past me. She kindly posted the lyrics for us to enjoy, and if you want to hear the song itself, hop on over to YouTube and watch the video […]
I’ve mentioned Peter Ehrlich before. He very kindly sent me a link to his latest piece in The Star.
Peter’s mother was a single mother who did everything she could to make ends meet, including collecting bottles for the rebate. In today’s economy, I think we’re all going to find that a second and third stream […]
Over at Career and Kids, Elizabeth is having a scheduling challenge the opposite of mine: she’s got a week filled with kids’ activities, while I’m up to my eyeballs in work. I need a kid-free week, but that’s just not possible. One deadline got pushed back because of a little thing called herding cats: trying […]
Always listen to your heart, single mom. Especially when it’s saying something you don’t want to hear, or whispering something soft and poignant and a little yearning…
My son has a crush on a neighbor-man. This man and his wife live on the corner, with their three wonderful dogs. One day, this man even […]
Just when I though I was done with this silly business of love, my February theme by default—just when you thought it was safe to peek into the pages of SoloMother and not be pestered and bothered with thoughts on Valentines and sweetness and light—the Fates smack me with the stage version of Company, Steven […]
