Ezra

June 12, 2009

This is my little brother. When he was a kid I would have told you he was a stinky, gross boy and a jerky (most of the time) brother. But now he’s all grown up (well, almost).

I used to have a journal with this word on the front. Believe. “Imagine”, I would write at the end of every entry. Inspired by John Lennon, I imagined everyone in the world – happy, at peace, at a standstill – just being. So I would write the word every day hoping, some how, it [...]

Everything you’ll ever need…

June 10, 2009

to know about being a dating single mom. A few days ago, I spent hours sorting through my archives to produce a lovely table of contents to this blog. It’s funny to put your own life into categories, but I think you’ll enjoy them. Like Chapter 11 – “The Ex Files: the Men I’ve Dated [...]

Secret Code

June 4, 2009

A few weeks ago the Bear and I were on a date. I still can’t believe how much he spoils me. Dates galore, dinners, drinks, whatever I want and it’s lovely. We were talking about something or another in regards to this site and some issue I’ve been having and then he said, “Let me [...]

Shipped

June 3, 2009

My first few days at my new job have been spectacular. On day one, I met up with some of you for a play date. Between chatting about dating, love and all of that other stuff only single moms truly understand I hand delivered some of your necklaces and watched as you delicately wrapped them [...]

That Couple

June 1, 2009

Larry is in his seventies but his eyes are young. He had a major hand in creating the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, a thriving tourist destination for Athens County and his energy seems to be endless. He’ll never acknowledge his age with words or by his actions and I find this amazing and inspiring. We’ve [...]
