Parenting rocks. Parenting sucks. Parenting rocks.
There are great sources of information out there. And terrible sources of information out there. There are great sources of information out there.

I have a bad habit. The fact is – I have many, but this particular bad habit is quite literally detrimental to my health. No, it isn’t smoking or drinking. It isn’t substance abuse of any sort. It’s simpler than that, and so much more complicated. I don’t pay enough attention to me.
Too busy to [...]

What could have gotten me to a mall on Black Friday?
You know what could have gotten me out shopping today, perhaps the most frenetic shopping day of the year? A very old school concept – the kissing booth.
Surely I’m not the only one in my (purposely vague) female demographic who wouldn’t walk a mile for [...]

Awhile back I asked for input from divorced dads willing to talk about sex and dating. I was curious, and wanted to see how their experience stacked up to the female side of the solar system.
I make the distinction between divorced dads and single dads of other types because, let’s be honest, divorce is [...]

He’s usually ferociously funny, and direct. But the other evening when I received an email from a writer friend, his words were meandering and unguarded. He wrote of his relationship, his co-worker on leave, his child who was staying with the other parent for the week.

Find yourself turning into a robot? So much to do, it’s the only way to get by?
These days we move at a frantic pace, hardly ever slowing down, much less allowing for the possibility of breaking down. Singles, couples, families, single parents – even our kids – we’re all running ourselves ragged with schedules that [...]

I can’t tell you how many times I heard it – the angry voice of my elder son. “But Dad, you promised!”

I’ve been a single mother for many years. Yet when asked, I define myself as a writer, a parent, a woman, a friend, an art advocate – and many other things. Make what you’d like of the sequence in that definition; but I claim my “single parenthood” fully.
I have great pride in what I’ve [...]
