By singlemomseeking ⋅ June 30, 2008 ⋅ 16 comments

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.

It’s the final week of Babeland’s Sexy Mama event, and this week’s theme is Reinventing Sex: How has your sex life changed since having a kid? (or, kids!)
A year into single motherhood, for the first time in my life, I wanted to custom-order a night of casual (but safe) sex. I’d never thought [...]

Heads up: for the past month I’ve been working on making this blog better — for you.
So, just in time for Mother’s Day, I’m re-launching in a new format, one that’s easier to read and multi-media (videos!). I hope the new blog will be more revealing, more real. Thanks for being patient with the changes [...]

Single Moms: How are you celebrating this Mother’s Day?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ May 5, 2008 ⋅ 19 comments

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

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 30, 2008 ⋅ 16 comments

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 [...]

Am I a bad mama for taking my kid to Baby Mama?

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 29, 2008 ⋅ 10 comments

I belong to that parenting faction that believes kids grow up too fast. Although Mae has watched her fair share of Hannah Montana, I do try to draw the line. Once a month, my mother-daughter splurge is going to the movies — often a matinée and always a kid flick.
After eight years of seeing “G” [...]

SassyBean matchmaker says single moms are single, successful sexy women with “many things going on”

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 17, 2008 ⋅ 13 comments

I hear from many single parents who email me, “I’m ready to date, but all my friends are married! How the heck can I even meet a great guy/gal who’s single?”
I was skeptical when I contacted Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy Award–winning TV journalist, and co-founder of SassyBean.com, for some advice. She’s not a single mom. [...]

I turned down national TV today

By singlemomseeking ⋅ April 11, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

As I explain at BabyCenter today, I almost flew to New York City last night.
The Mike and Juliet Show on Fox TV emailed me yesterday: “We are doing a segment on single moms and would love to have you on as our expert. ”
But Mae had come down with a virus; she was out of [...]
