I certainly hope not.
Not that I don’t believe in love or anything - I’m a huge fan of love. But fantasy ideas of finding “the one” or a “prince charming” can be reckless for your children and your self. Actually, it could save us all a lot of heartache if we entered relationships with our [...]

I’m frantically packing.
I’ve been planning this weekend’s trip since… oh, Monday.
But I waited to pack until tonight. Smart. Tomorrow morning Benjamin, Mr. Man and I are headed down to Kan-Tuck-Ee (I love saying it like that) to visit Morgan (aka Modern Single Momma or, as I like to call her, my soul sister).
Morgan will be [...]

they fall hard.
My aunt told me this years ago.
The words didn’t make sense to me at the time. Every man I’d ever dated had been slow to fall or reluctant to fall. I just couldn’t imagine one actually falling as hard as she described, until now…
“I’m crazy about you. I just can’t stop thinking about [...]

It’s officially - official.
Mr. Man and I are an item.
But because even uttering the word relationship makes my arm hairs stand on end, not out of joy but out of fear - I’ve decided to do some research. After all, it’s been years since I’ve been in a “real relationship” so I need to brush [...]

I’ve finally found some words, between the haze of my viral infection - here you go… the start to the story of how I met Mr. Man. The story, as you know, is still unfolding.
We met at the bar my mother and I used to frequent after my father died.
Mom and I were [...]

“I don’t think you’ve ever really been in love.”
Mr. Man tells me this as I sit cross-legged on the couch, our knees are touching and he is holding my hands in his. This is his conclusion after weeks of us talking and learning about each other’s checkered pasts - the pasts that led us together [...]

My father loved bringing my mother breakfast in bed.
He would also clean the dishes after dinner - every single night, even when he cooked. When he’d come home from work he’d seek her out, “Where is my beautiful wife?”
“Upstairs Dad,” we’d sigh. When he found her he’d scoop her up into a sweet hug and [...]

Benjamin and I went to a dude ranch this weekend.
We started out together.
Then Benjamin demanded to ride by himself. He won over the ranch hand with his powerful persuasion tactics and took the reins.
And here he is, fleeing from me… knowing I was about to haul his butt into the car to head back to [...]

Can dating single moms really fall in love? This weekend a man held my eyes with his and now I’m wondering - can I let myself fall? Am I even able to let go of the happiness I feel as a single mom?
