Did you know the third full week of September (this year, Sept. 16-22) is “National Singles Week”? I don’t know about the rest of my fellow single moms, but I’d like to hump the leg of the person who decided to start this week long celebration of the single life and recognize single men and …

If you had asked me three years ago if I enjoyed being a single mom my answer would’ve been no. Visions of loneliness, disappointment and heartbreak danced in my head every time I heard the words single and mom in the same sentence. Accepting my fate as a newly single mother was one of the …

The library is my happy place. Not to mention it’s been a godsend in entertaining myself and my son as a single mom because IT’S FREE. Most of the time I go there not knowing what I want. Instead I wander the aisles until something catches my eye, letting the universe choose for me. The …

“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.” - Sex and the City Apparently some people didn’t get the memo that single is no longer an affliction; it’s …

I have a confession. I’ve never had a utility bill in my name before. I know that sounds insane considering I’m thirty-three, but it’s true. I went from living with my parents to living with my ex, and when I did I happily let him take care of all things grown-up like signing the lease …
