I had no idea Mark Ecko was so inspiring.
He started his own fashion line in the ’90’s. Quality skater clothes. In the New York Times this week there’s a great feature on his trailblazing efforts to break into the fashion industry.
Not sure who actually wrote this article because the byline says “By Mark Ecko, as told by: Bobbi Demsey”
What does “as told by” mean?
I’m thinking…it means Mark told the story to Bobbi who then wrote the article.
Big difference? Ummm…yeah there’s a difference.
Anyway, according to Bobbi or Mark,
“Whatever you do in life, be passionate about it. At least once a month, if not every day, reassess what you’re doing and make sure you still love it. If you’re passionate about something others around you may see as a dead end, pave your own way. Be a trailblazer.”
Hell yeah! I could kiss whoever actually wrote that line. They read my mind.
Trailblazing is highly recommended, especially when you’re a single mom breaking all of the damn rules anyway. We’re trailblazers by default.

One of the sexiest things about single moms (for the guys) and one of the most trying (for us) is the fact that we are on top of it … beauty wise. Well, I am anyways. But it’s not easy. I barely have time to shop. And there’s nothing worse than dragging a screaming toddler through the beauty section only to bring the product home and find out it sucks. Talk about guilt.
So with spring just around the corner I think we should all start sharing some time-saving, money-saving beauty tips. Here’s mine…
Say hello to the single mom savior … my little friends the Tan Towels!

How in the hell is cleaning out a little tiny plastic toilet easier than changing a diaper? Please, please experienced mommies enlighten me. How do you get the little toilet bowl clean? Do I have to scoop it out with a paper towel? Sigh.
And Benjamin just took his first pee pee in the potty!!! Standing up, of course because he’s 100% boy.
*UPDATE* I FOUND A BABY URINAL!!! No, I’m not shitting you.

to this song.

Not sure but I think the lyrics might be about a son losing his father. Regardless, every once in a while I find a song that just hits me and I listen to it until I'm dancing in my sleep. [click to continue…]
