Is the new Bachelor, Jason Mesnick, really looking for love?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 27, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Apparently, single dads are the latest hot thing. At least, if you follow dating reality shows they are.
Take Jason Mesnick, the good-looking, educated, single dad, whom DeAnna Pappas rejected on ABC’s Bachelorette.
Some of my friends have joked that I should go after him. But the man is already flocked by hundreds of women. I’m not [...]

Tracking down my UPS man, Part 1

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 26, 2008 ⋅ 16 comments

This has been one of the most peculiar experiences for me in blogging history.
While I’ve written a few blog entries about what has gone down on certain dates, this is the first time I asked all of you — my oh-so-honest readers — to get involved in my dating life even before I’d gone out [...]

Bedtime Stories: Adventures in the Land of Single-Fatherhood

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 19, 2008 ⋅ 21 comments

Three years ago, I happened upon a “Modern Love” column in the New York Times called “Who’s that lady in the bedroom, Daddy?“
It was the first time I’d read an honest, open piece by a single dad who was parenting solo — and trying to date. I wanted to invite that writer, Trey Ellis, out [...]

One Man, Three Kids…

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 17, 2008 ⋅ 12 comments

I asked one of my newfound single dad blogger friends to tell us his story. Boy, did he. While he prefers to remain anonymous, here’s where you can find more about him.

“What’s your story?”
People often ask me this question when they seem me on my own with three kids.
“Are you sure you want to [...]

I’m so honored to introduce you to Matt Logelin, dad to baby Madeline. Thank you Chrissy for bringing Matt to Storked, where I first “met” him!
If you’ve never met Matt, you might want to read his story first, on his site.
I had to figure out some semblance of order for the dads you’re meeting this [...]

One® Condoms design contest! Will you help me be the judge?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 6, 2008 ⋅ 15 comments

How did I get hooked into this one? Oh, yes, I remember now. One Condoms offered to be a sponsor of Single Mom Seeking.
And although there’s no dinero in this deal, One Condoms has made some really cool personalized condom tins, which I get to give away at readings! Here’s what the tin looks like [...]

Still yearning for my UPS man

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 5, 2008 ⋅ 34 comments

If you’ve read my book, then you might remember Chapter 1, in which I had my very first crush as a single mom.
Yes, it was on my UPS man, whom I’d met when we squeezed into the elevator together of my apartment building. That afternoon, it was just him, Mae (on my hip), me, and [...]

Must Love Kids: Exclusive Interview with Kristin

By singlemomseeking ⋅ August 4, 2008 ⋅ 21 comments

Update: TLC has changed its schedule : Must Love Kids’ Publicity Director just emailed me to say the show now airs on Saturdays at Noon.
I agree with the comments here: no single parents I know watch TV on Saturday afternoons!
TLC, moving the show to a weekend afternoon will NOT bring any viewers! Why did [...]

Single Dad seeking advice

By singlemomseeking ⋅ July 30, 2008 ⋅ 25 comments

One of the best parts about writing this blog is that I get emails from thoughtful, caring single parents who open up about their lives. Usually, these emails include a question, too. (”If you happen to know any cute, single dads in southern Tennessee, will you let me know? Thanks!”) I try my best to [...]

Readers, please meet David, one of Kristin’s six male “suitors” on the new reality show Must Love Kids.
I was thrilled when 44-year-old David — who’s the single dad two sons, 6 and 8 – agreed to a telephone interview from his home in southern California. The producers of Must Love Kids had found the very [...]
