Contest winners… what’s my secret?

by singlemomseeking on November 23, 2008

Recently, I told you that I’ve been working on “something big” for the past six months... a surprise!

Your guesses were out of this world: some of you had me doubled over the keyboard laughing, others astounded me with your brilliant ideas.

I even gave you a couple of clues:

No, it’s not a second book (yet). And, no, I’m not getting married (yet).

The answer is: no one guessed the exact answer!

Can you believe it?

Attaining Me was close when she guessed that I might be a “contributor for a magazine.”

RJ at Single Dad seemed to secretly wish that I might launch a “new reality show…and it’s going to showcase the sex toys.”

But no.

Nappy Kitchen was way off the mark with her comment: “You’re a lesbian and will be replacing one of the ladies at ‘The View’ very soon.”

Dad’s House and Amy Nathan both guessed that I was getting a dog –

Say what? Now that’s out of left field!

Are you ready for the secret?

More than one year ago, fate brought me together with a single parent expert whom I’ve long admired: Dr. Leah Klungness, co-author of the No. 1, best-selling self-help book The Complete Single Mother: Reassuring Answers to Your Most Challenging Concerns

Both of us were invited to speak at a conference for single moms at U.C. Berkeley. Dr. Leah flew in from New York, and we hit it off right away. Within five minutes, we dropped our individual planned presentations to give an impromptu talk on sex and dating.

We revealed a lot — and it showed. The audience laughed, and afterwords, we chatted with a line of curious women.

After that, of course, Dr. Leah and I talked often. We discovered that we both felt strongly about this: single mom sites concentrate too heavily on “mommy only,” often ignoring the fact that single moms — and dads — can still enjoy adult perks.

This is why we’ve launched SingleMommyHood.com: the first-ever website to offer a whole new way to think about single parenting.

~~~

First, please don’t worry: Single Mom Seeking isn’t going anywhere!

SingleMommyHood.com will dish about the issues that you often ask me about — the honest, candid straight talk that’s not always easy to find online.

Every week, we will offer tips on sex, dating, intimacy… Of course, we know that single parents juggle a lot more than dating. That’s why we’ll have advice on parenting, clutter, your career, custody, your ex — and more!

Now, how about those giveaways?

When RJ, a.k.a, “Single Dad,” was here last week, he saw all the boxes from Babeland piled high in the corner of my office: yes, your prizes. (No, I would not let him take home the unique cupcake pan or the cuffs!)

Now, please go to SingleMommyHood.com!

You’re the first eyes on the site, so please offer us your feedback. We’re all ears. Thank you!.

I was able to leave a comment after I registered. I already have a WordPress account but had to create a new one for your site. It worked though.

Congrats on the site. My girlfriend will thank you for the cake pans. Like I said before…”not in my kitchen”. It’s true that I am a great cook and baker but I only make stuff that I want to eat. ;-) Now maybe if someone were buying the cupcakes I could be convinced. Is there such a thing as an “adult” bake sale?

SDMktg: I see your point about men being grossed out about eating “cock cakes”… but how about all those women at your tailgate parties? It could make for a great photo shoot?
