Striking thoughts

My Hero

January 28, 2009

I like to call Benjamin my hero. Because he is. This little guy is my guy and my reason for doing all that I do, day in and day out. I wouldn’t have it any other way because at the end of every little storm he’s there waiting with a big sloppy kiss. But lately [...]

Holy crap, People.

January 16, 2009

There’s nothing more surreal than seeing your friend in People Magazine. Okay, I’m sure being in People would be even more surreal. But still opening it up this morning and seeing Matt, Liz and Madeline was quite an experience. All of this is overwhelming Matt (but in a good way). Matt and I will be [...]

Seeing clearly.

January 5, 2009

I’ve been caught up in life.  It happens.  But lately it hasn’t really been my life I’ve been caught up in.  —– First there’s that Matt guy – one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. There’s a reason why his blog has touched the hearts of hundreds and thousands… he is the real [...]

Merry Christmas!

December 24, 2008

‘Twas the night before Christmas in the Single Mom’s House. Benjamin opened his first present this morning, a gigantic Mickey Mouse doll. I found it at the thrift store so I figured – why not? After jumping up and down like a maniac he told me to turn it on. Upon discovering that Mickey did [...]

To lift your spirits:

December 10, 2008

Slightly random but cheerful stuff to make you smile… Here’s an article I wrote for Single Minded Women.com on being a single mom over the holidays. I wrote this weeks ago – hadn’t read it again until now. And, it actually just cheered me up. Odd. Me cheering myself up. Any hoo… I’m completely insane [...]

Lots of love to go around.

November 21, 2008

This past weekend Mr. Man, Benjamin and I took off to visit Morgan (Modern Single Momma) in Kentucky. A fantastic video of Morgan and her man is on the way, along with another single mom advice video from yours truly. In the meantime, here are some of the photos Morgan took this weekend. I think [...]

Guess Who?

October 24, 2008

Snippets from random phone conversations I had tonight between: Benjamin my sister a man who shall remain untalked about, and my mother. Guess who said what: “I had another dream about you last night. This time we were at a coffee shop and this guy gave you all of the day old croissants. You were [...]

I just got robbed…

October 16, 2008

of my words. It’s inconsequential. It really doesn’t matter. But, I’m calling foul anyway. Last summer Real Simple magazine interviewed me on How to Ask a Man Out. Today I picked up the issue I’ve been waiting to read for months only to find my exact words attributed to someone else! You know them, I’ve [...]

Do something.

October 14, 2008

It’s Blog Action Day - so take action. It could be as simple as spreading the word about a worthy cause or making your kids laugh (something we should all try to do every day). This year’s theme is poverty. An old classmate and trusted friend wrote to me about the Grameen Foundation recently and asked [...]

“Is your blog your boyfriend?”, etc.

October 11, 2008

Someone asked me if my blog was my boyfriend yesterday. I said – “Yes!” without hesitation. This blog is my boyfriend. It keeps me happy, makes me laugh and sometimes talks back. And it occupies my evenings. Ha! Is that nuts? I’m not sure… I’ve always been an extremely driven workaholic and writing has always been my passion.
