Right before I left for my trip last week I was pleased to learn that Modern Single Momma, founder of iheartsingle parents*, had named me one of her picks for single parent bloggers “to watch.” (Not in a creepy way, though; just because she likes our stuff.) I can’t believe I’m in such great company — [...]

Many of my friends (including some of my best single parent pals and readers) have asked how I’m handling this whole getting remarried situation. Well, I’m so glad you asked. Or that some of you asked.
I swear someone asked me…or did I imagine it?
Never mind – I’m a-gonna tell you anyway in this month’s Dinner for [...]

Two things that have gotten me through singlemamahood are knowing I’m not alone in my situation (knowing, however, that no two situations are alike) and knowing how to laugh — at myself and/or the circumstances. I was trying to think of what to write for my latest Dinner for One column and decided to share [...]

Well, here we are only 2 days from Christmas. It’s been a whirlwind as usual, but I’m finally winding down as my kids are winding up in anticipation of Santa’s arrival. (Thankfully, I got another year with my daughter believing after the close call last December.)

Five years ago I bought my first gingerbread house kit, an impulse purchase for the kids and I to do in celebration of our first Christmas in our new house. I was strangely excited about it — until I couldn’t get the icing to thicken well enough, or the walls to [...]

Well, it’s time for Dinner for One again at The Imperfect Parent! This month I tried to get into the spirit of the Halloween season and offer a light, yet practical view on modern dating methods as a single parent. Admittedly, I was on an online/speed dating hiatus when I met FlyBoy, but I still [...]

Hey, kids. I’m only a few days into my blogging break, but they’ve been productive ones (which was the idea). I’m cranking through my editing — well, okay, some minutes cranking, others creaking.
Just wanted to let you know that you can find my latest Dinner for One on what it means to be called a single mom — [...]

The kids’ first day of school is tomorrow. Wow, I can’t believe summer is almost over! While I dread the mounds of papers I’ll undoubtedly have to read and fill out over the next two weeks, I’m looking forward to a set routine and schedule — two things that will make this single mama’s life a whole lot easier.

Single parents, you can check out my latest take (or should I say “take out”?!) in my column, Dinner for One, at The Imperfect Parent.
(Oh, and you can, too, Mom.)
Cheers!
