I Am Erin, Hear Me Paddle Board!

June 5, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

Sometimes I like to stare fear right in the face. I like to try new things; things I’m scared of, just to say I did it. Just to show my kids that I am their mother and I can do it all! That’s what I did recently on an amazing outdoor adventure trip to Squamish, BC. The folks at Chevrolet Canada … [Read more...]

If you've read my column before, you know that I am a recently divorced mother of two. I've faced a lot of challenges since the end of my marriage, but none of them compared to this.

Can Being A Single Mom Be Harmful To Your Health?

May 22, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I don’t usually get to watch the news (my kids usually flip to Disney Junior!), but last week, a segment on the Today Show caught my attention.

Creating The Next Chapter And Holding Onto Memories

May 15, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

One of the things I love to do for my boys is create photo books for them every couple of years. Don't get me wrong—I love blogging and I've kept an online record of their lives on a private blog since the day they were born. But there is something extra special about capturing our photos and … [Read more...]

Managing A Minefield: How To Talk To Kids About Divorce

May 8, 2015 by Erin Silver 1 Comment

My kids—like most—are full of questions, especially since the divorce. They keep me on my toes and sometimes, their inquisitions even knock me flat on my back.

Raising Boys & Single Mommy Guilt

May 1, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I recently attended a fundraising event for my boyfriend's daughter's school. It was a great night out for parents. We were all happy to dress up, get out, socialize and, oddly enough, talk about our kids. One thing that became apparent was that all siblings seem to bicker and fight. All boys are … [Read more...]

When The World Puts You Down, Get Back Up

April 24, 2015 by Erin Silver 2 Comments

In addition to writing and blogging, I’ve also been teaching writing to postgraduate students at a local college. Apparently it’s not my calling. My students didn’t like my slide shows. They didn’t like how I taught or what I taught. Some claimed I taught them nothing. Apparently I'm awful and … [Read more...]

April 17, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

It’s hard to look good when you’re feeling down. There were days I cried so much that I thought I’d forgotten how to smile. My skin looked dull, my eyes were puffy, my mascara seemed to have left permanent streak marks down my face. Until I started to recover emotionally - until time passed - I had … [Read more...]

The Perks Of Being A Newly Single Mom

April 10, 2015 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

One of the things I love about being a single mom is the bond I’ve formed with my kids. Sometimes it feels like it’s just me and them in the world. They know I will always be there for them and protect them. I’m the one they count on to take them to school, pack loving notes in their lunch and take … [Read more...]
