A car full of single parents.

July 6, 2008

How often does this happen?  Morgan (Modern Single Momma), Jim (Depot Dad) and I are having such an amazing weekend! We’re on our way to downtown San Francisco to interview people about dating and dating a single mom or single dad. We just shot this little video in the car on the way into the city.  [...]

Playground wars.

July 1, 2008

The playground can be a scary, scary place. Last week on our nightly playground stop Benjamin and I met a mom, her 6-year-old son and her 3-year-old daughter. She had a very thick Russian accent and I spent 15 minutes answering her hard to decipher questions about the area. I wrote down useful websites, drew [...]

Single mom for sale!

June 30, 2008

It’s not easy to meet good men, especially for busy single moms. I barely have time to shower, let alone go man hunting. We can’t go out three nights a week like our childless counter parts and if we do meet a man in the coffee shop, at the park or on a fluke night [...]

How to date the childless.

June 25, 2008

The first question most single parents ask when they finally get back out there on the dating scene is, “Can I even date someone without a kid?” The challenges to dating someone without a child can be daunting. Will they ever understand your life? And when they do – will they run away screaming in [...]

Lessons from Cowboys.

June 23, 2008

Some things never change … My basement had a minor flood (not complaining because my little brother lives in Iowa City and has been sandbagging for weeks).

Flatten Your Fear & Win a Flat Iron!

June 21, 2008

We all have fears. If you read my blog, you know I’ve got plenty. Namely my fear of commiting to the wrong guy, my fear of my ex-husband watching our son solo for 36 hours a week or his absence from our lives. I like to think I’ve come leaps and bounds in the past [...]

O’ Daddy, Where Art Thou?

June 20, 2008
