Solo Mother

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 it means to be a single parent…

* NEW – Boundaries needed between single parents and their kids
* NEW – White Teeth and School
* The Joy of Single Parent Sex – really
