Makeover

John Bear and I both got new looks last week.

And I think you’re going to love the video… there’s also a back story about our first date.

[My favorite part -- how he can't talk after I kiss him.]

Thank you Fiesta Dave (you’re an absolute dream) and special thanks to Kevin at Dr. Mojoe.

Over the Edge

Ever felt like you just want to dive off a mountain top?

No?

I hadn’t either.

That was until I spent three days straight with Nolan and Benjamin, two adorable three-year-olds who, when together, can’t stop beating on each other. Like a cosmic formula Kristin and I’s sons had it out for each other during our entire vacation in Vancouver.

Watch the video.

Kristin is wicked awesome by the way. I can’t tell you enough how much I love that girl.

And special thanks to the Grouse Mountain ziplining team in Vancouver, BC.

And we’re off…

I want to date – but I can’t.

Another video response to one of your questions.

This one is from a single mom who really, really wants to get back out there, but she can’t bring herself to do it.

I hope this helps! If anyone has any questions just e-mail me at mssinglemama@gmail.com.

Single Moms and Love

Finally! My video of Morgan and Ronnie is finished.

We shot this on my trip to Kentucky with Mr. Man a few weeks ago… I think you’ll find their advice on being a dating single mom and finding love incredibly valuable. As you know, there are no easy answers. Some of the questions we address in the video:

What is it like for a man dating a single mom?
What should single moms look out for, or avoid, while dating?
And, why is it so important to take your time and choose wisely?

Just last week, Morgan announced on her blog that Ronnie is ring shopping and I think – as you’ll see here – that they are a match made in Heaven.

If you have anything to add – any other dating or love advice for single moms – leave a comment!

Lots of love to go around.

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 these pictures are, hands down, the best of Benjamin and I together to date.

To see more of Morgan’s photography go to MorganSilerPhotography.com, to read her blog go here.

More pictures after the “read more”… didn’t want to bog down your internet connections.

And my personal favorite, Morgan’s man tossing Benjamin high in the air… he was magnificent by the way – definitely Ms. Single Mama approved and as many of you know, I am so protective of my single mamas. But this guy, he’s definitely a keeper.

Better than vitamins.

Things are busy – as always.

I just want you to know that I’m reading each and every one of your comments.

There are just so many that if I can’t respond to them all, I’d rather not respond to any. Is that crazy? But know this – I am reading each and every one and loving them all. More than loving, your comments are better than vitamins.

Especially in the Ultimate Single Mom Contest – the comments are absolutely amazing. If you haven’t left a comment yet, do it today because I’m drawing a name Thursday night for a free iHeartSingleParents t-shirt. I’ll announce the winner on Monday with a video. Benjamin will be pulling a name out of a hat.

I am also trying to find the time to make my next advice video (have to come up with a name for them, if you have any ideas, let me know). Over 400 of you have watched the first video on How to Get Over Your Ex so either, you’re all laughing at me or you like it – regardless, I’ll be making more… soon.

Back to the busy thing. Over the course of the past few months I have discovered more single mom blogs than I can count. There’s no way to tell for certain, but I think the single parent blogosphere is exploding.

Here are three new single mom bloggers you have to check out.

Each of these posts had me at hello. Seriously, get clicking.

Irascible Crayons says forgiveness is the best revenge. I couldn’t agree more. This post had me beaming and pumping my fist in the air. Fantastic.

Bad Mummy, No Cookie wrote a brutally honest piece recently on her habit of sleeping with men too soon. We’ve all been there and this piece captures those raw emotions.

And if anyone has ever said, “I’m sorry to hear that,” after you inform them that you are a single mother, read this post by Little Country Girl.

Go give this guy a virtual hug.

Jim, Depot Dad, is recovering from major surgery to treat his skin cancer.

He needs all of the well wishes he can get. If you don’t know Jim, he’s a single father of two beautiful children out in California and a very dear friend.

Here’s the video of Jim, Morgan and I in San Francisco. We shot this just a few months before he found out.

»Go give him your hugs here.
