This week, I had absolutely zero blog surfing time. Which means I can’t give you a nifty blog recap this week so it’s up to you single parent bloggers.

Leave your link and a brief description of your post. Shamless self-promotion is STRONGLY encouraged.

And a note to my readers: I am reading every single one of your comments, I just haven’t had time to respond to every one. Just didn’t want you to think I’m not pondering, digesting and loving each and every one of your comments. I’m TOO damn busy. Darn it. Someone slow this train down please.

In the meantime, please leave the links to the best of the single parent blogosphere.

The Best of the Single Parent Blogosphere

Because we’re single parents and we don’t have time to read a million blogs every week, leave your favorite posts here. DON’T BE SHY. Shameless self-promotion is strongly encouraged.

My personal favorites this week

Smiles are Free

Chrissy the author of Glamour’s Storked writes about a mean woman in the grocery store who can’t even muster a smile for her adorable cooing son. This is a pet peeve of mine as well. Benjamin says “Hi” to absolutely every stranger he meets and when they ignore him … I want to walk up to them, shake them and say “What is wrong with you! Smile at my kid – you big jerk.”

To Fake Ring it or Not

In which my single mama soul mate, Morgan, admits she used to wear a wedding ring while pregnant. And then, after Lucca was born, something changed:

“I stopped wearing the ring and mustered up strength I never knew I had, to look people in the eye and say “nope!” when they asked me if I was married or had a boyfriend. What used to be a source of shame for me, now is honestly a point of pride. When I have Lucca in my arms and I am carrying two tons of groceries to the car by myself, and somehow finding my keys and unlocking the trunk at the same time–and doing this all with a genuine smile on my face, I love it when I catch someone glancing down at my bare left hand.”

Prince Charming *Warning* Blatant Rip-Off

Cyrus, a single dad reacts to my Screw You, Disney post with his own rant on Disney and Prince Charming. My favorite line: “You may be a prince, but when my kids play fairies, do you know who the King of the Fairies is? It’s me, MoFo. And it always will be.” Love it!

On Being the Third Wheel

Single Supermama gives a beautiful shout out to her friends for being so supportive and says, “I fully intend to have the kind of family that would make a single parent (or just anybody) feel as comfortable and welcome as I’ve felt in the homes of my friends.”

The Best of the Single Parent Blogosphere

We’re all busy…too busy to read a million blogs every day. So, I thought it would be a great idea if all of us, bloggers or non-bloggers used this post once a week to copy and paste their favorite posts of the week. I’ll put it up every Tuesday night.

If you have a blog - leave a link to the best post you wrote all week, or the most popular post.

If you don’t have a blog – leave a link the best post you’ve read all week.

Try to keep them on the single parent theme, but if there’s something extra special out there, feel free to post it.

My personal favorites this week

Holy Crap. I Have News! - QT Mama

Two words: Vegas, baby. Two more words: Sexy Irishman! This woman puts me to shame. She’s the single mom dating queen. Her man sang her a song on a Vegas stage to get a visit out of her. And who says single moms aren’t the hotest single women out there?

Date From Another Dimension – Jim Everson (Depot Dad)

Jim discovered he and another single mom are living in parallel universes. Too crazy. They wanted to meet for a date, but they couldn’t because they have the exact opposite schedules.

R we d8ing? - Kat Wilder

In which, one of my favorite bloggers, unearths her friend’s trepidation about dating post-divorce. And wonders if, we can ever realistically do it all over again.

I love you, now leave me alone - Mommy Pie

Mommy PIe’s four year old daughter posts her first “Keep Out!” sign! Adorable and fricking hilarious.

This single mom wears a wedding ring! Why, oh why? - Rachel Sarah (Single Mom Seeking)

This one may astound you, I know I’m still shaking my head over it. Rachel showcased a single mom blogger who says she wears her wedding ring during corporate sales calls – why? Because her clients are more “at ease” if she has a ring on her finger. Puke.

Now, it’s your turn – please let me know what your favorite posts are … and if you wrote one – leave a link to your own fabulous post!
