Jen Kearney Creative : Oh Joy!

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:46:16 +0000

Hi, Bill! I love Smashing, too. Good stuff there. In fact, the theme I'm using for this blog was one they commissioned.

Jen Kearney Creative : Ok, Smartypants.

Yes, there's a TP there. What about the little circles that make up the letters? What do those images evoke? Anything?

Ms. Single Mama : On Weddings

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 15:21:29 +0000

I eloped on a beach on Grace Bay in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Highly recommended. I married my best friend. The day was just right. The marriage was not. We're now happily divorced. But what I did that day - committing to a life and a family with that man - is probably the best decision I've ever made. He's a loyal friend, and incredible father, and a good, good man. He's like a brother to me. Lesson: Marrying your best friend does not a marriage make. You've got to have a little chemistry, too.

Agreed. He rocks, just like his mama.

That's one thing I know for sure: never say never.

Ms. Single Mama : That Couple

Oh, gods. He definitely does. My heart is pounding, just reading this. I'm thinking 'potential' just might be the most delicious understatement ever, Ms. A friend asked me tonight if I ever thought I could be a wife again. I'm about to link him to this post. If ever I was loved like THIS, I'd consider it.

Ms. Single Mama : Unexpected reality

Thu, 28 May 2009 11:16:20 +0000

I too had a frantic 'I'm all alone' moment last week. I locked myself out of my condo. I've been thinking for months that I need someone I can trust to keep an extra set of keys. But there's no one. I've most definitely put my son in less than ideal situations with men I've dated because I just *needed* to so we could both survive. When the guilt keeps me up at night, I creep into his room, sniff his sweaty -sweet head and remember what a happy, healthy, brilliant little man he is. And I realize he is all those things because of the less than ideal solutions and the guilt gilded sacrifices I've made to keep him that way. Our single mom reality is one of McGuyvered ingenuity. And our little boys will grow up to be flexible, strong, adaptable, good-humored men because of it.

Ms. Single Mama : Thanks

I sobbed and giggled in the same 60 seconds. Best. xo

Leap and the net will appear. You've so got this, Girl. Clickety-clicking your ads. xoxo

Whoa. That photo is pure perfection! Nice kiddo catch, too.

On Wings of Pigs : Bad guys don't cry, only good guys.

I adore that Golden Hour right before sleep comes, when our little people get all cozy and dozy and spout their innocent wisdom. It's my favorite time of the day. Best.

I trust you on the divine part. I need some divine today. I'm off to grease the griddle...

ModernSingleMomma : Miracle of Love: Dealing with Depression

Thu, 7 May 2009 16:21:09 +0000

"Without a word, you know the party is over. You are Persephone returning to Hades." Gods. I've so been there. And probably will be again. Bitterly beautiful and heart-breaking and heart-mending, all at once. Allowing the love is often the hardest part, isn't it? Found you via @mssinglemama. So glad I did.

Ms. Single Mama : His eyes, the Governor & Dave.

Thu, 7 May 2009 15:15:42 +0000

The Bear sounds utterly dreamy. The Dave thing is a trip. Three years ago this guy http://www.matthewmuschott.com/ told me my 'soul mate' was named Dave, too. David, actually. No freaking joke. Crazy. I think you're smart to settle on Fiesta Dave rather than Soul Mate Dave. Soul Mate Dave sounds a little loose. I do not like the way he is conspiring with psychics in order to land hot girls. Unacceptable.

Ms. Single Mama : Single Mom Friday Zen

#1, brass leaf, is my unequivocal favorite. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I like the cheeky synonyms for "brass" - nerve, chutzpa - and how I've embraced those characteristics as a single mama. A brass leaf seems the perfect symbol.
