I really wish I could buy each and every one of you fabulous single mothers (and fathers, and FOSM’s) one of those fabulous iPods… you know, the 80 gig Pod with video playback?
I can’t.
But… I can point the way to a great opportunity to WIN ONE!…

I don’t shop very often. I like the idea of shopping. I enjoy looking at things and dreaming about owning them… but I rarely buy things. Guess it’s that single income family life that’s taken the spree out of shopping.
But ohhhh do I love looking at Cool Mom Picks. You want to look hep and […]

There’s a new place to play in the Blogosphere, and I think you single mothers will enjoy it.
Check out My Single Parent Diary. It’s got some heavy hitters over there, including Peter Ehrlich, Jesse Lozano, and the lovely Rachel Sarah. It’s an interesting place to hang out, vent, make new friends, and talk about what […]

Here you go, ladies, a little beach blanket escapism in the season of Yule.
Big Boned by Meg Cabot. Who wants a copy? I’m telling you, this is good fun. You won’t learn how to solve world hunger, but you will get a laugh or two and spend some pleasurable escape time reading this book. It’s […]

The blogosphere is filled with the holiday cheer of… bling… I mean… bells… Salvation Army bells ringing in the shopping centers… tons of gift giveaways for the holidays…
Oh. Hang on. I’m conflicted. Is it better to give, or receive?
Why not do both this year?

Tango.
Perhaps you’re new to this single, post-divorce stuff. Maybe you’re a year or two into it and have decided to just slog through the days, getting things done, taking care of the kids, the job, the car, the house… but,of course, not taking care of yourself. I am a fan of actual therapy, or “Paid […]

A few weeks ago, I bought a grill. My grill. Big and black and shiny. With a thermometer in the lid. With a grill in the bottom for the coals to set on. With an ash catcher in the bottom. It’s beautiful.
And it’s all mine. As a sometimes silly female, I have always deferred to […]

I guess J. K. Rowling will forgive me for not supporting her, right? She can’t have forgotten what it was like for her as a single mother. I am so in awe of her. Some day, I would like to hear some voice so loud and clear in my own heart that I can write […]

I do get to talk to single fathers quite often, and a recent pearl of wisdom from a single dad with surprising depth and insight is just too good not to share with my single mother friends here.
Most of life is the simple things, chopping the vegetables, folding laundry, doing the dishes, getting the […]
