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…
Falling into Place
By Cassie Last year at this time I had started a new job. I was the office manager at a large daycare center. It was my first full time job! I was so excited going to the office everyday. I felt like it was my first steps to a real career. I soon realized that…
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 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…
Awesome women doing Awesome things!
By Cassie How often do you pat yourself on the back? I have written before about the many hats I wear. Mothers work very hard. It doesn’t matter if we work in the home out of the home or simply stay at home with our babies. Parenting is tough. It is constant. It is rewarding….
Reflections of a young mother
By Cassie I was sitting in the lawyer’s office patiently waiting for them to call my name. Kindly flipping through a magazine and eyeing all of the little plaques and pictures on the walls. Right at that moment it hit me. How did I get here? How did I go from that girl who was…
you can blame a single mother.
By Cassie If you look at the way parenting trends have changed over the last few generations it is astounding. My mother was a single mother. She was divorced when I was six and raised me mostly alone from there. I remember as a child constantly being told we could not afford things. People knew…
