There’s an article in the Washington Post today that made me chuckle. A Va Va Voom BOOM! Burlesque is back, baybee. And it’s hetting up significant portions of my home town.
I took a walk on Friday night with a friend, not following the historic tour of the U Street corridor, persay, but glad enough to […]
An interesting article here about soldiers… our heroine? “Capt. Nissen was a single mom with three kids when she enlisted with the Guard 20 years ago. She needed to support her family and wanted the education benefits the military could give her. Then, she started working full time for the Guard. She was an enlisted […]
Camp Weary Parent has been in full swing all summer, but the fearless leaders over at Weary Parent are marching gamely on. Charlene is playing her own game of Survivor and counting down to school (38 days!), while Christine is wondering when her teens decided she was uncool…
Here at SoloMother, the summer seems to be […]
I love Dr. Leah. If ever you need a level-headed perspective on life, go on over to Just Ask Dr. Leah and… ask. Her comment to yesterday’s musings on broken marriages and failing children was so spot on, I asked her if I could post it here for all to see:
Children born to single moms […]
I keep reading all these studies that show how bad divorce is for children. There’s another one, an interesting study, but I found out about it on the Catholic Exchange website.
When I read a summary or news article about data, surveys, polls, or the like, I have to wonder about the slant. Who commissioned the […]
If Minnie Driver is your friend, you probably always know where you stand with her. I’ve never read an interview she’s given where I didn’t come away with a feeling of… blunt force honesty.
Her current pregnancy and unwed status hasn’t curbed her appetite for frankness. She says she doesn’t know if she’s going to […]
Splendid Isolation by Cheryl Strayed had me hooked from the first sentence. Imagine, on the cusp of teen-dom, and being brought by your family to a tract of land to live… and build a home.
Her mother had been a single mom for six years. I can’t do the piece justice by writing a […]
I’ve always dreamed of going back to school. I don’t really know if this will ever become a reality. It seems that when I have the money, I don’t have the time–and vice versa. My brain really needs it, though. I seem to be atrophying. Seriously.
I was reading an article on The Ticker about […]
The King of Everything and I went to the City of Alexandria’s birthday party this evening. We were met by one of our best friends who in turn introduced us to her friends, who in turn introduced us to their friends. This amorphous group banded together by a strategically hung pinanta, and was bounded by […]
I found these instructional videos by my favorite tribal belly dancer of all time, Rachel Brice.
I hate crunches and sit ups and all that stuff. But I love to dance, and this ab workout is killer. And since it’s on YouTube, it’s FREE, single mothers! If you like this, run a search for her […]
