Dear Readers,
I’m sorry for my 7-month hiatus. I have missed writing, but up until Friday, June 26th, I have been focusing every waking moment on preparing for, studying, and going through a police academy, fulfilling my mommy duties, and squeezing in little moments of self-care to keep myself from losing my mind. Now that the academy is over, I have an abundance of time on my hands. I can’t tell you how…

My Dream Board
As I have previously stated, I strongly recommend you be reading. That is exactly what I have been doing here lately. I just recently picked up a book, The Kickass Single Momby Emma Johnson, and there is a section at the end of the chapters which encourages us to perform an exercise in our efforts to be the successful, goal reaching, single moms that we want to be. The first chapter…

How To Start A Small Business as a Single Mom
How To Start A Small Business as a Single Mom
I’ve been quiet on the blog front here recently as I’ve embarked on an endeavor to start a small business. Well, pick up an old business idea and reinvent it, I should say. I’ve been working feverishly at getting it up and running, hashing out a business plan, getting it out there publicly, and delivering on my commitments. I haven’t forgotten about this blog. Quite the contrary, I actually…

Synopsis and Thoughts on "The Road Less Traveled" by M. Scott Peck, M.D.
Synopsis and Thoughts on “The Road Less Traveled” by M. Scott Peck, M.D.
“I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost
I remember reading this poem for the first time my freshman year in college. I was taking English Composition I through a community college the year I turned 25. It was my…

A Step by Step Guide to Filing for Paternity through E-file
A Step by Step Guide to Filing for Paternity through E-file
As a recap, in one of my earliest posts I talked about filling out the Petition to Adjudicate Parentage in order to file paternity. If you’ll recall, I went step by step down the application. I’m not going to rehash it, if you’re needing help going over the petition, check out that post here.I also talked about the process of DNA testing, which is required if someone is questioning their…

What Father's Day Looks like to the Fatherless
What Father’s Day Looks like to the Fatherless
There are many ways one might find themselves without a father on father’s day. Regardless of how it happens, it is often difficult for the children (and single mother) when Father’s day comes and he’s not there. Sometimes it is compounded by the happy images you see on social media and out at restaurants where families are celebrating with their dads and it hurts because yours isn’t there. I…

Intentional Motherhood
What does it look like?
In one of my earliest posts on books every mother should read, I mentioned the book, Regret Free Parenting: Raising Good Kids and Know You’re Doing It Right by Catherine Hickem, LCSW (you can find it on Barnes and Noble here or Amazon here). Today I’m going to go back to something that book talked about, as well as how it ties in with one of the other books, The…

A Review and Analysis of "Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis
A Review and Analysis of “Girl, Wash Your Face” by Rachel Hollis
I promised to tell you about this incredible book in my previous post, “Rethinking Our Productivity” and here it is. The subtitle or admonition following the title of Girl, Wash Your Facegoes on to say, “Stop believing the lies about who you are so you can become who you were meant to be” and this speaks volumes to the core issue of so many people out there! This is for me just as much as it…

Rethinking Our Productivity
How many times have we thought, “if only I had enough time to read more books?” “I wish I could be that smart.” “I wish I could do [insert personal goal].” And how often do we find ourselves spending countless hours watching Netflix or TV squashing our productivity? Over the last couple weeks, I’ve found myself doing just that. Getting by with the bare minimum of house keeping chores (running…

De-stressing Mother's Day for Single Moms
De-stressing Mother’s Day for Single Moms
This past weekend was absolutely amazing. Mother’s Day could not have gone any better. I’m still riding on the high of the sun and beach and cuteness galore even after five days with long nights of night feeding (still, 3 days shy of 11 months), a workout regimen complete with runs, breakfast preparations, meal prep, and feeding, laundry, dishes, and overall cleanup. It has been a lot to keep…

Life As A 911 Dispatcher
Life As A 911 Dispatcher
Last week at work was Telecommunicator Week. (A telecommunicator is a 911 dispatcher.) There were crossword search puzzles, mazes, hidden phrase activities, and free food all week (with the exception of the potluck at the end of the week where everyone brings a dish to share). There’s a wheel to spin for extra tickets which get turned in for prizes. But the biggest kick we get is Dispatch…

Play Cards? A Response to Senator Walsh
Play Cards? A Response to Senator Walsh
This past week, Senator Maureen Walsh (R-Washington) made the erroneous statement that nurses probably play cards while at work. She also made a remark that if nurses are so tired, they should work 8 hour shifts like the rest of people working the standard 8 hour shifts. This was all in her remarks regarding her suggested amendment to a bill being introduced to state law. The original bill, if…

I am so excited! Why you may ask? I inadvertently bumped my federal student loan payments back a month when I submitted the application to consolidate them all into one. I wasn’t planning on that and didn’t know that was what it was going to do. But I discovered it as I was looking at…
