When I decided to start sharing advice for other single moms, I never expected the outpouring of support and the numerous e-mails from single moms hoping to get some advice from me on their particular situations. Many times, we just speak about each other’s situations and find solace in having someone to listen to that understands and you can relate to. But many times there are numerous questions asked, and although I am no expert, I have so many thoughts about single parenting and the path to happiness. One of the biggest questions that I continue to get on a regular […]

Happy Belated Easter everyone! I hope that you all had a relaxing and enjoyable time with family and friends.  I personally enjoyed the time with my son this weekend. So you might be wondering…what’s up with the Easter Egg hunt in the toilet? Well, I’ll tell you.  It actually started on Wednesday…Micah’s teacher called me at work saying that Micah had a fever of 102. I left work and sped off to his school to grab him. I hate it when Micah is sick – I always panic and get a bit freaked out. You would think that I would […]

A few days ago, I was reading through a few blogs and found a post that inspired me — You Might Be a Working Mommy if… from Tina at One Tired Working Mommy. Inspired by Jeff Foxworthy and his line of “You Might be a Redneck if” jokes, she prepares a post of things that helps to identify you as a tired working mommy. I decided to prepare a list of things that may express how you might be a tired single working mom of a toddler. Hope you enjoy it! You Might Be a Tired Single Working Mom of a Toddler […]

Typically, I share posts to help single moms (and dads) become more knowledgeable about the experience and offer advice on how to manage the day-to-day. I actually started this blog with the mindset that I would be able to help other women that were considering leaving their significant other and were fearful of being a single mom. I wanted to be the inspiration that they needed to make the change and help them understand that it would be okay. This post is not going to be like that. Today, I want to share some things that others should avoid doing when […]

Did you parents embarrass you as a child? Showing up to book fairs? Trying to kiss you when you were trying to walk into school (and you were in your teens)? Arguing with your teacher and principal at any given opportunity? Showing up to your classroom to see how you were doing? Trying to switch classes or schools because they didn’t like how your teacher did things? I remember promising myself that I would never become that kind of mom…and for a long time, it stuck in my head as the thing that I would avoid as a parent at […]

Back in December, Micah was diagnosed with asthma…and since then, it has been wreaking havoc in the quality of his day-to-day life. For the past two months, I have been anxious, sleep-deprived, depressed, and frustrated all boxed in together in one. I honestly think it would be a little easier if he was a bit older, but with him only being 2, he doesn’t understand that he has to take it easy sometimes and it makes it that much more difficult for me to manage and monitor it. Micah started off just with a really bad cough. I assumed it […]
