8 Days

September 12, 2010

Eight days of semi-single momdom left. I know I’m not entirely a single mom anymore, having a man around and all. A deeply considerate and helpful man at that. But still, in eight days that door will be permanently shut, right now it’s swinging back and forth a bit and there’s a crack of light [...]

Single Moms Wanted for National TV

August 30, 2010

August 28, 2010

And so we shall

August 21, 2010

I stopped counting at 150. Your names. So many of you wanting a hand in this beautiful book. Instead of downloading the XML form I just counted by hand with my cursor, arrowing down. One. Two. Three. Up to 20 and then 50. So, 50 on one page and there are three more, at least [...]

Single Mom Manifesto

August 16, 2010

While basking in a few days off last week my mind went to wandering. Eventually I had a moment to sit and think about all of you and this blog, where it’s going and where it’s been; what it means to you and to me. I’ve been effectively avoiding the subject with myself, the subject [...]

Facts and figures.

August 3, 2010

A few things you should know. Fact: Being a mother makes it nearly impossible to conform to the rigidity of today’s corporate culture. I am buried in work.

Must Read, Must Link, Must Play

July 23, 2010

Before I publish another post (on the way), take a minute to a) Read this amazing blog I discovered. Old Fart, Young Tart I love her thoughts on Prince Charming and “romance” like this one, “It is, of course, a completely hopeless scenario. We women are never going to meet a man who is a [...]

Love, true and sure.

July 12, 2010

When you’re house shopping together and have verbally committed to marriage and creating a forever together, popping the question and actually surprising one Ms. Single Mama is not an easy feat. On Thursday, the night before we were going to drive Benjamin down to Athens and then spend the day working from coffee shops and [...]
