5 Ways Bringing Home a Puppy is Harder than Bringing Home a Newborn

Before you all rally with your torches and pitchforks, I'm not denigrating the parental experience. I'm not saying raising a puppy is ACTUALLY harder than raising a human being, and I'm not saying you're less of a person/mother/father/parent/guardian than a pet owner. Get off your high horse (if you haven't already), relax, and just TRY to find the … [Read more...]

Off to School

A2 Milk Snacks

This post was sponsored by a2 Milk® as part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Bug starts T-K in a couple weeks, and between you & me, I'm thrilled.

Co-parenting Like a Boss

My son's father and I were never married.

Don Juan, the Sequel

When people ask my name at coffee shops & such, I give the name Cameron because my name always ends up being "Rita" or "Lisa" or "Rhys" or some weird shit I can't understand, read, or explain. So this morning, while I'm waiting for my soy white mocha easy syrup with whip, the barista at Peet's (whose name is also Cameron) looks to me, confirms … [Read more...]

On Single Parenting

This week, MamiVerse published part 2 of my "how I came to be a single parent" story (if you haven't read it, I recommend it... because... well, yeah).
