Contest! Best single parent sex advice

It didn’t take long for Rachel — at Single Mom Seeking – and me to get past our skepticism about Twitter.

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 [...]

If you think it’s too early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day, we’re here to get the party started.
