Christie Brinkley: How much should the kids know?

No matter which way you turn, it’s hard to ignore the messy details of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook’s divorce.
Is this drama confusing you as much as it’s confusing me? Thank goodness that single mom expert Dr. Leah Klungness is here today to straighten me — and you — out when it comes to the [...]

What happens when three single moms rendevous in San Francisco–

Ms. Single Mama (middle) and Morgan (right) from iheartsingleparents took a break from their video-making adventures to brave the windy hills of San Francisco with yours truly in search of beer on tap — but this is in Nob Hill, where most of the bars are very fancy-shmancy and mixed drinks are the theme.

Are you honest, with a big heart, and no addictions?

When I first put myself online, this is how I started off my Match.com profile:
“Are you honest, with a big heart, and no addictions?”
Can you tell that I’ve had some lousy history with at least one dishonest man struggling with an addiction? (Yes, I take responsibility for choosing ‘em.)
After spending a couple of [...]

Condom giveaway: tell us about your fav condom

Who knew that my post, “Do you always use a condom?“, would be one of the most popular ever? I’d like to thank all of you for your oh-so-honest thoughts on this uh, touchy, issue.
Andrea says that since her divorce, she has always asked men to play it safe, and they have: “Seriously? Asking you [...]

When men are confused

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 [...]

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

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 [...]

Congrats!
The winner of the Babeland Bath Fizzies — “In what ways does motherhood make us better lovers?” — is Avigail. This single mama said that after getting divorced and turning 30, “something snapped.”

Do you always use a condom?

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”

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 [...]

Will you be watching Denise Richards’ “complicated” life tonight?

I only have basic cable (and rarely watch TV), so I won’t be staying up to see”Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.”
But if you will, let me know. I’m curious.
Although this is a reality show, my hope is that Richards can use this medium to show that single moms can move on after divorce, past the bitterness. [...]
