Married filing single. Say what?

When a woman commented this week at Rachel’s blog Single Mom Seeking — about her post ”Is your ex getting remarried?” — this single mom’s answer floored us.
First of all, the timing of her comment was uncanny, because (drum roll…) it is tax time.
If you haven’t send in your taxes yet, no doubt you’re scrambling [...]

Do you have a tattoo?

When we recently read about an engaged single mom blogger’s tattoo idea, we chuckled.

Thinking about having another baby?

Recently, Dr. Leah, aka The Sanity Fairy™, asked me if I’ve ever thought about having another baby.
I laughed. Ha! Me? Another baby! C’mon now.
