Man Shopping

May 15, 2009

When you’re a mother and dating things can get tricky. It’s why more than ever I have been utilizing a little theory I crafted back in my single and childless days to make sure I remain in control of my dating life. There have been bumps in the road, an errant bad boy or two [...]

Here

May 14, 2009

We were right. Kristin and I had this feeling about each other – that we’d get along like no other and it’s true. She took this picture of Benjamin and I at the park on Kit’s Beach in Vancouver. I am now going to stop blogging and become a model for some mommy magazine. Seriously [...]

And we’re off…

May 13, 2009

On another adventure.  Benjamin and I are flying out this morning to see these two trouble makers. Kristin, who writes the stirring blog Better Now, and her son Nolan are waiting for us in Vancouver. I’m not sure what Kristin has planned but yesterday I got an e-mail about a zip line over a canyon [...]

The beginning.

May 10, 2009

I often skip to the end of a story before it even starts. My relationships are no exception. When one begins I imagine the end. But usually they don’t begin with flowers on Mother’s Day and a card from your three-year-old son. I am telling this story without knowing the end and without predicting the [...]

Mother’s Day Zen

May 8, 2009

When I read this post on Lost Bird Found I think I actually stopped breathing. Sara Jensen designs the clothing and accessories you see on her site and keeps her lovely blog as a subtle compliment to that work. You’ll see that everything she does is brilliantly simple while also strangely unique. With her permission [...]

His eyes, the Governor & Dave.

May 7, 2009

I could swim in his eyes. The only bad thing about being in the dark with the bear is not being able to see them – ice blue, almost transparent and surrounded by his fuzzy face with a smile he saves only for me. The two together – the smile with those eyes melt me [...]

The dating front

May 4, 2009

I’ve met a bear. It’s quite ironic actually because after I wrote about the tiger and the lion, a bear showed up. What’s even odder is that so many of you had commented telling me only a bear would do. And I sat here reading those comments, wondering – perplexed. Why the bear? What’s with [...]

Sunday Divine

May 3, 2009

I am not a church goer and may never be. But on every Sunday there is a moment of divine intervention in our apartment when this cottage cheese pancake makes it to my lips. Crispy, fluffy, and perfectly light they have actually brought tears to my eyes before. My parents made them for us when [...]

Single Mom Friday Zen

May 1, 2009

Shopping for the pieces and parts to make a necklace for single moms is not easy. Which is a lovely thing to figure out after you’ve had a leaf tattooed on your back. I am not giving up though. Nope. Instead I’m now shopping for a leaf necklace partner on Etsy.com. Hoping one of them [...]
