Kissing in front of the kids (gasp).

January 24, 2012

I know I will get blasted for this one. But, whatever, bring on the hate. This is reality, this is love and this is modern parenthood. We both put our children first and care about them more than anything in the world. What’s the most amazing of all is how much we have all fallen [...]

And then there were three…

January 9, 2012

And I absolutely love them all. The Mr. and I were talking today about blending families. From our initial digging on Amazon, it doesn’t look like there are very many books on the subject for modern single parents. Any others out there becoming step-parents or blending families with young children? Tips or advice? Or what [...]

On the other side…

January 3, 2012

It is our second date. Our first date after our coffee date. So, in my mind, this is our first real date. I am wearing my favorite gray Calvin Klein dress. It’s just short enough, but not too short and hits mid thigh. To keep off the Fall chill I’m wearing my light brown suede [...]

What is your single mom manifesto?

December 22, 2011

  Remember the single mom manifesto project? I sent three of these out to over 150 of you and not one as returned. I’m so sad about that, but I understand knowing that we are all busy and it seemed like a far fetch that we could pull it off. Or maybe they were lost [...]

My apologies to NYC.

November 28, 2011

I have an apology to make to New York City. I am sorry for doubting you and jumping to conclusions after my last visit. I’m not sure what happened, maybe it was the hot weather (100+) and the wrong neighborhood choice (Times Square), but this time I had a completely different experience. We were in [...]

Taking a break…

October 13, 2011

I’ll be back. I’m not sure when. Maybe in a week, or a month, or never. Honestly, I don’t know right now. After meeting him, my first reaction was to tell all of you – and quickly – that you must have butterflies, that you must feel a spark, that you must never settle, that [...]

A lesson in love

October 12, 2011

My father and I were folding laundry, the piles were up to our knees. It had been a particularly rough week in our house. There were six of us after all and my mother and he had been fighting about something. I can’t remember what, most likely something to do with the logistics of raising [...]

On Prince Charming…

October 6, 2011

He holds my face in his hands and says before kissing me, “Are you feeling this?” “Yes,” I answer, relieved. “It’s not just me, then?” “No. It’s not just you,” he says. “Has this ever happened to you before?” I ask. “Nope.” He smiles into my eyes. “Me neither.” But we just met. This is [...]

The fearless

September 29, 2011

Benjamin and his bud Bert jump out of the car. We’ve pulled up to the most exciting place on Earth. The Eagle Creek Leadership and Challenge Center to you and I, but to Benjamin and Bertie this is where Thomas and Calvin’s grandpa lives. Thomas and Calvin are quite possibly the cutest brothers you’ll ever [...]
