Sex and dating, anyone? Mother’s Day giveaways!

Renowned dating coach, Rachel Greenwald, has now applied her Harvard MBA business savvy to the dating world.
Can you imagine how much fun she had conducting in-depth interviews with 1,000 men, asking them why they hadn’t called back after a date? Haven’t you always wanted to know the truth about why he never called again?
We [...]

Does your bra fit? Win $50!

When you were pregnant, did you devour all those “new mom” books to prepare yourself for first-time mommyhood?
We sure did!
But here’s something that neither of us “expected:” no one told us that childbirth and breastfeeding would forever alter the size and shape of our breasts.
So much for wearing those pre-baby bras again….
Although we’re [...]

Can mommy bloggers take things too far?

Today at Single Mom Seeking, Rachel writes about bloggers who’ve turned their sites into infomercials.
Hey, the competition is brutal out there. We understand.
But we’ve also noticed other trends: mommy bloggers who “use” their cute kids to attract more readers. And the increasing amount of graphic detail some mommy bloggers are eagerly sharing about potty [...]

Mother’s Day memoir book giveaways!

If you were going to write a memoir, what would the title be?
Welcome to the theme of our very first Mother’s Day book giveaway at Singlemommyhood!
We couldn’t be more thrilled about this contest because a few single mom authors whom we admire a lot have offered to give away their books to YOU!
For starters, there’s [...]

Your first home

If there’s one thing that Rachel, aka Single Mom Seeking, and I have in common, it’s this: we’re good with words, but we could use a bit of help in the handy-woman department.
Solo home ownership is serious business, and everything “mechanical” about houses used to stump me.
I knew that termites were a big no-no, [...]

Are you addicted?

It has gotten really bad over here.
Ever since I started to work as a newspaper reporter, I’ve been glued to a computer (I had to! It was my job.) Now that I have a laptop and an iPhone, I’m always “hooked up.”
My iPhone wakes me up every morning (the harp alarm!), and before I [...]

I need some sanity, please!

A single mom in romantic distress recently contacted us for some advice.
She asked to remain anonymous when we share her story:
“I really need some help with a tough issue. Two months ago, I started dating an amazing man whom I’ve met at work. I know, I know, no romance at the workplace!
But I trusted him. [...]

Do you disclose your “singlemommyhood” when networking?

Sorry for starting off the week with a downer, but in this terrible economy, there are no guarantees.
Many of you have told us that “9-5″ may no longer be enough. Maybe you are looking for part-time extra work to supplement your income — or you’re moving towards self-employment.
Some of you are unemployed through no fault [...]

Million dollar idea for Mother’s Day!

Dr. Leah and I are skeptical when companies contact us with “free” offers or discounts. (Because we’re both bloggers and authors, we receive many offers weekly!)
One recent offer, however, has proven to be the real thing: Photofiddle.com contacted us with a deal for all of you to receive a discount when you order a Mother’s [...]

Do you snoop?

Thanks to Facebook, Google, and Twitter, spying on someone you’re dating  just got a whole lot easier.
Tell us the truth:
Have you ever dated someone you’ve met online — and “just for fun” one night when you were alone — you logged online to see what he was up to?
We’re guilty of this. But [...]
