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

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.

I wish my words alone could thank all of you enough for being there with me on this parenting journey. It’s almost midnight, approaching Mother’s Day, and I appreciate all of you so much.

Thanks to Divorce360, I got my hands on a Webcam for the first time in my life. I kid you not, over the past week, Mae has made 26 videos of herself. The one time I tried to get her to tape me, she kept asking potty questions… Sorry, you won’t see that one here.
Finally, [...]

I learned a lot from all of you yesterday, after posting about Mother’s Day. It was Kat Wilder (thanks!) who pointed out that “Mom’s Day is a day for your kid to honor you — not a boyfriend, not your father, not your kid’s dad. And a day for you to honor your own mom.”
Maybe [...]

My first Mother’s Day on my own, I will forever be grateful to my father for coming to New York City to spend the weekend with us. He took Mae and me out to brunch. Then we walked over to the playground, where Mae, who had just turned one, piled sand onto Grandpa’s black dress [...]

I’m trying to be a “sex-positive mom,” really I am

This weekend, a mysterious brown box was on my doorstep, with a return address from a local warehouse. Whenever there’s a box at our door, Mae assumes it’s for her. It usually is.
But I had a feeling that it was for me this time. That’s because Babeland had contacted me recently to blog about being [...]
