As soon as I stop carpet-bagging around the National Conventions, I’m going to curl up in bed with a good book or three.
Cookbooks.
One of the most difficult things to do with little time and less money is prepare healthy, home-cooked meals for your family. Modern conveniences have made pressure cooking and Crockpots a must-have in […]
Thanks BizzyWoman for pointing me to this great site. Denise Bergeron authors Financial Help for Single Moms, a site filled with articles about a wide variety of topics, from credit counseling to online degrees to budget worksheets. It doesn’t have that personal, one on one feel we’ve all come to love in the blogosphere, but […]
I’m watching all of you solomoms and dads, all you families and young folks just starting out. I’m watching you open your wallets and watch the moths fly out from within empty, cavernous regions.
I’m listening to irate writers demanding more off-shore drilling, more drilling in Alaska.
I’m hearing crazy politicians try to stick it […]

I think I’ve got two weeks of after work time to pack up our whole house and move to mid-town. The packing would go much more quickly if the King of Everything would stop stealing my boxes. Currently, he is doing cartwheels through the house inside the box.
Doubt me, do you?
He begged me for […]
I’m loving the charity movement through the Blogosphere this holiday season. Having rather recently been a woman who needed more charity than she could ever give back, I will never again doubt the ability of a caring, compassionate community to turn peoples’ lives around for the better.
Which is why I’m writing about IttyBiz today. […]
You ladies are the best! This single mother has a handful of new tricks up her sleeve when it comes to financial responsibility, and I thought I’d share their wisdom out here on the front page, rather than leave it hidden in the comments…
If you’re struggling to make ends meet and put a little away, […]
The King of Everything’s new school sent home a rather impressive list of school supplies to bring with him on the first day. He also wears a uniform–and is growing like a weed.
It makes August a tight month.
I tried taking out my entire monthly budget in cash at the beginning of the month, […]
Hello, there, single mom. How you doing? Staring at your empty pocket where the holidays burned a big hole?

I’ve got a coat rack to mount on the wall. A big, solid, heavy piece of Ikea furniture that weighs about as much as the King of Everything. Honestly, I fully expect it to fall off the wall, masonry anchors notwithstanding. Hang a coat on it? Hah. But it’s free, and it’s better than throwing […]
