We got the chance to chat with Tom Kiddoo — the creative guru behind these ‘Thanks, Dad‘ T-shirts [...]

Are you a long distance co-parent?

The *ideal* situation in which co-parents live in the same community often isn’t reality.  New relationships, shifting career opportunities, and other BIG changes often mean that co-parents need to get creative about how to communicate and keep those all important kid ties.

My family HATES the fact I’m dating a single mom

Can I live with Dad?

“Can I live with Dad?” When solo moms in our Singlemommyhood hear this question, they often feel confused — and respond with stunned silence. We understand.
