When men are confused

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 24, 2008 ⋅ 26 comments

Maybe it’s because the world feels unsteady right now, as if there’s a constant undertow.
Or maybe it’s because there’s a Capricorn moon with Saturn in Virgo.
All I know is, there’s a comment awaiting moderation right now in response to my post about “Kate Hudson: “Boys, Meet My Son.”
The comment, however, has nothing to [...]

Summer is here, along with al fresco date nights, the seasonal return of the refreshing mojito… But wait, where’s your sitter?
Perhaps your your beloved babysitter has packed up her dorm room and headed home a thousand miles away. Or maybe you still haven’t found a trusted sitter (yet).
Sittercity.com is offering a deal to [...]

Is the man you’re dating a mirror of you?

Wendy Merrill, author of the new memoir, Falling into Manholes, says that he is.
I know Wendy in person and she’s just as hot, genuine, and honest in person as she is in her book. No, she’s not a single mom. Yes, she is so open and revealing about life and love — that I had [...]

Let’s hear your thoughts on Kate Hudson: “Boys, Meet My Son”

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 19, 2008 ⋅ 21 comments

After hearing about Kate Hudson’s recent Father’s Day brunch — with her son, her son’s father, new beau Lance Armstrong, and his three kids (say what??) — I was wracking my brain to write a somewhat coherent post.
That’s when MomLogic emailed to ask for my take on “Kate Hudson: Boys, Meet My Son.”
There’s nothing like [...]

Let’s not get to know each other…

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 12, 2008 ⋅ 14 comments

I don’t know if anyone here read the recent Modern Love College Essay Runner-Up about, “Why Spoil Great Sex by Dating?” (thanks for sending this one, Dr. Leah!).
Joel Walkowski, a senior at the University of Southern California, writes that:
“We might dally in the land of easy sex and stilted text-message flirtation, but deep down we [...]

Do you always use a condom?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 4, 2008 ⋅ 32 comments

All this talk about condoms yesterday has inspired me. Well, not inspired, exactly. It has made me a bit manic, to be honest.
To make matters more intense, it just so happens that during Mary Pols‘ book launch party last night for Accidentally on Purpose, she read her infamous chapter about her condom-free one-night stand, [...]

Accidentally on Purpose: A must-read about one woman’s one-night stand “and the loving best mistake I ever made”

By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 2, 2008 ⋅ 21 comments

Today, one of the most open, candid, painful memoirs comes out: Accidentally on Purpose: A One-Night Stand, My Unplanned Parenthood, and Loving the Best Mistake I Ever Made.
I stayed up way past my bedtime to read this book, about 39-year-old movie critic Mary Pols, who knew she wanted to have a baby. But never—not [...]

In what ways does motherhood make us better lovers?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ May 27, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

First, thank you! I felt the warmth that you sent my way. I’m sucker for words, and I really appreciated yours.
The antibiotics have kicked this infection — and they’ve kicked me in the butt, too. I’m tired, but here I am!
In honor of Babeland’s Sexy Mama event, I’m giving away the final prize of the [...]

All I got for Mother’s Day was a finicky orchid…

By singlemomseeking ⋅ May 16, 2008 ⋅ 14 comments

And it already looks dead.
No really: I was so tickled when the Biologist showed up for our date the day before Mother’s Day with an orchid. So sweet! It’s the first time in his life that he has ever dated a single mom, and he gets an A+ for his sincerity and genuineness.
Before [...]

Is Single Mom Seeking hotter than Dooce? What do YOU think?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ May 15, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

Don’t get me wrong. Heather Armstrong at Dooce is One Hot Mama, there’s no doubt about it. That woman can write, she gets my kudos for baring it all. Plus, Heather is the No. 1 rockin’ trend setter who started her blog all the way back in 2001. I was going to say, “She’s [...]
