By Cassie I have a year left of school and have spent the past year networking and searching for opportunities. I have came across many. Some too good to be true. Some too perfect to imagine. Some that I had to let go. I am stuck in a place of confusion right now. I am…

Creating a Blogging Community
By Cassie Aiden started swimming lessons this week. I love taking him to classes and lessons of all sorts. Getting him all dressed up, doing my hair, feeling like a real mom. Wearing pearls and watching my son jump into the pool. Laughing with other mothers over coffee and making connections. I showed up to swimming…
A Comfortable Place to Be
By Cassie I used to get lost when Aiden would go to his dad’s for the weekend. I would spend the weekend drinking with friends, shopping, and spending way more money than I ever needed to. I hated being home. The silence that filled the house drove me crazy. Knowing that he wasn’t going to…
Where oh where did my baby go?
By Cassie Aiden has been especially cuddly this morning. He wants to be held and cuddled and kissed. Quite frankly I don’t mind one little bit. As he climbed up on my lap this morning something hit me. No longer can he snuggle up and fit perfectly in my arms. His legs are dangling over…

for the record
By Cassie When I started writing here I thought that blogging about single parenting would be simple. Married people are always astounded at what you can accomplish without a husband. I hear women all of the time talk about their husbands being gone for business and not knowing how single parents do it all. I…
Spring Break ’09
By Cassie Last week was spring break. An entire week of no class to spend with my boy! Sounds pretty great right? Did I mention the seven page paper that was due when I got back? Or the entire book I was assigned to read? Or the fact Aiden had a fever and had to…
Party planning gone AWFUL
By Cassie So I get a big fat F in party planning. It started when I was ten years old. I invited my entire family over for a “Mothers Day Feast.” I had seen this beautiful meal in a magazine and I was going to prepare it all by myself. An hour before the dinner…
I have returned
By Cassie I have a tendency to assume other mothers are judging me. I have not blogged in two weeks. I honestly felt as thought I had nothing to say. I felt as though I wasn’t worth enough to share my thoughts with other mothers. This happens from time to time. Aiden will turn three…
