Picture this: It’s 4pm on Valentine’s Day. I just signed off of work for the day to get ready for my trip to NYC for a drag queen filled celebration of love, when I receive an email from my dear friend Sherri over at Single Edition Media with the subject line TV Opp, asking me …

Picture this. It’s 7:35 am on a cold Thursday morning. A ridiculously hot single mom (that’s me, by the way) grabs her coat and coffee and heads outside to meet her 6-year-old son at the bus stop, just as she normally does every morning he is with his Dad. She stands on the corner and …

Last week I introduced you all to the awesome that is The Fresh Diet. After a full seven days of Fresh Diet delivery, I lost 1.5 pounds and am completely smitten with their gourmet diet food. It was love at first bite. From fabulously-single portions of Strawberry Multi-Grain Pancakes to a Tarragon Infused Salmon & …

Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday, which means you have about a day to get that pony, stripper or bacon-scented birthday card here. If you asked me ten years ago where I hoped to be at 33, my plans would not have included being a single mom or a single woman. Yet here I am. About …
