When you miss your child’s father

A single mom blogger whom we adore has reached out to us for some advice, and although we responded briefly by email, we know that YOU probably have a lot to say on this one (you usually do and we love this about you!).
So, thank you to The Restless Mama for letting us share her [...]

Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough

When Lori Gottlieb’s Atlantic Monthly article “Marry Him! The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough,” first came out two years ago, it made me mad.
I’ve since lost track of how many friends forwarded that essay to me. Maybe they were suggesting that I was too picky, too?
Back in 2008, I shook my head [...]

A chocolate promise from us to you

When we launched Singlemommyhood a little more than a year ago, we had one goal: to give you a soft place to land.
Thank you for helping us create a community that mainstream media often ignore, or portray in a less than positive way. We’re beyond-honored that you’ve joined us. We love how honest you are, [...]

My ex is dating a convicted murderer. Say what?

We took a deep breath when read this email yesterday from a single mom who wrote to us in shock:

“This morning my daughter and I were chatting about Daddy’s latest girl friend. This new girlfriend has two girls who attend the same school as my daughter. Apparently they ‘hooked up’ at Back to School night. [...]

Will you ever get married again?

When Rachel at Single Mom Seeking asked a while back if any of you think about getting married again, your raw honesty and candor awed us.
“You’d think I’d be sour on the whole idea,” commented Solo Mother. “But I’d like to find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. I won’t [...]

Tweeting for love

For the record, Twitter didn’t grab our attention right away.
After all — or so we thought — it’s enough to keep up with the minutiae of our own lives. Who needs to get bogged down with meaningless trivia from a host of strangers?
Soon enough, however, we noticed that tweeting while dating had become the [...]

More love on Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! We’re so blessed to have so many special mom friends to salute on Mother’s Day.
Because we wanted to send love to so many moms out there for Mother’s Day, we needed to split this into two posts, in no particular order. If you missed our first Mother’s Day love post, go here.
Kat: [...]

Here’s to the men we love

We started to write this really mushy Valentine’s Day post about finding love — and then we scrapped it.
Why?
Because we realized that we’re surrounded by love in this great, big blogging world of single parents.
Who needs a Valentine when you have blog love?
For the record, we know there are some single moms who lash out [...]

Valentine’s Day party giveaway contest!

If you think it’s too early to be thinking about Valentine’s Day, we’re here to get the party started.
At Singlemommyhood, we believe that Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love — in whatever form you might find it. (We also admit to being complete chocolate fiends!)
The folks at Beaucoup recently asked if we’d host a Valentine’s [...]
