No, it’s not a cult. Kate over at Babylune is in, how ’bout you?
It’s a group started in San Francisco (where else?) that made a promise not to buy anything new for a year. I wrote about it over at Inside Motherhood (read “Can you live with less? The Compact is inspiring change“). From time […]
I love it when friends are successful. Kate over at Babylune has two more ticks on her scorecard. Before Christmas, she announced that she would buy a family in a developing country some Christmas gift to help them out, if only we would visit her page and get the stats up. Well, she bought a […]
this perfect dandylion shook its white mane at us on our way home from a holiday party this evening, and my son’s joy at being able to blow blow blow was as great as any smile he’d bestowed to gifts on Christmas morning.
When I think that we went from having nothing to having it all […]
I have received so many gifts since we returned to the US. Katherine’s gift of clothes helped me walk into my temp assignments with my heat held high. Kat and Matt, and later Renee, with their generous offer to let us stay with them til we got on our feet. And their kids, who offered […]

A friend of mine recently had to scramble. Her husband was out of town, and one of her twins had to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night. It got me thinking: what on earth am I going to do when an emergency hits? What are YOU going to do? Do […]
As you may have noticed, this single mother blog has mostly been about keeping it all together and making the most of what little time you have. It’s where my life is, at this moment. I thought I’d put together a list of what I’ve learned, in the hope that it helps.
I’ll get to the […]
Kate over at Babylune has interviewed Gloria Gamat, who writes Cancer Commentary, about what it’s like to be a single mother from the beginning.
Thank you, Kate and Gloria, for such a thoughtful conversation about the real life choices mothers make every day when we’re left to raise our children more or less by ourselves. I […]
A very kind friend shared this passage with me. It’s from a book he read a long time ago; these words stayed with him:
“The evidence of the goodness in life stands before us. I am not blind. I can see. And so, to talk too much about the past would reduce it. This is what […]
