I’m Moving!!!

I’m moving my website to MsSingleMama.com
The new site isn’t quite finished yet. So you’ll see some tweaking over the next few days. The work is largely behind the scenes. Moving a WordPress blog over is not easy. And this has been a really difficult decision becuase - IT’S NOT EASY. Did I already say that? [...]

Chaos and Calm

The weather has cooled off.
Fall is just around the corner. Just like that, another summer… gone. Next week I’ll be frantically packing for Denmark - planning out every outfit. I’m a dork like that. And yes, I am SUCH a girl. Hate traveling without bringing all of the necessities, but I’m also a light packer. [...]

Beam me up, Scottie: To Denmark Please!

Two weeks from today - I’ll be here.

With this guy…

And now it’s starting to set in.
I haven’t let myself think about it. I try not to get excited about things. Instead, I stay cool, calm … and then just a few days before it happens - I freak out. (more…)

A bond no man can break. Sorry guys.

Last Thursday night Benjamin woke up screaming in pain.
I ran upstairs. His body was lurching forward and backward, legs kicking. Finally I calmed him down and said, “Is it your tooth, baby? Does your tooth hurt?”
“Yes, Mommy.”
“Okay. Listen. Tomorrow morning, first thing, we’ll go to the Sticker Doctor (the dentist) and he’ll take the tooth [...]

Fall at your own risk.

Just a warning to any of my current or potential suitors.
I love you all, I do - but I’m not sure if you’ll get me in the end… because I am not sure about what I’m feeling, I can’t be. I have a son. I have to be very, very careful with my heart. I [...]

Single moms are on fire.

Single moms are hot, hot, hot.
Yep. We are trendy. It’s official.
This fact was pointed out to me in my first piece of hate mail from a YouTube viewer, one of nearly 500 who have already watched Morgan and I’s “Dating & Single Moms” video. With so many views, and there will be more, the crazies [...]

Baggage check: I won’t let myself fall in love.

I left my phone charger in California. And after one day with no interruptions and no friends to run my emotions by … I realized how nice it is to be disconnected. So I didn’t buy a new one. Now it’s been five days of phone free bliss and a lot of time to reflect. [...]

Bragging rights (thanks to you!)

I am actually listed right under Dooce on Alltop’s list of the top mom bloggers.

Color me speechless. Dooce, Heather B. Armstrong, is my personal hero. So it’s very surreal to see my name next to hers. If you haven’t checked out Alltop yet - get over there. Could be just a random shuffling order fluke, but [...]

This was so hard! My fear this week has been trying to choose a winner of my Flatten Your Fear & Win a Flat Iron Contest.

Hanna won because her fear is one most of us can [...]

New friends = good times.

1. Julie and Zoe are on their way over. We’re headed to a music festival. Last Monday night we both went out (coincidentally our exes both have our kids on Monday nights). We were eating out when the Architect called me … and not her. I didn’t call him back and we spent most of [...]
