Swiper No Swiping: Tindering While Being A Mom

June 17, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

"Would you strip for me, or do you not do that now that you're a mom?" I blinked in disbelief at the message in my inbox. Really, buddy? Obviously, now that I'm a mom, I sleep in a turtleneck because I once pushed a baby out of me. I want to reply but delete instead. Like it or not, being a mom … [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.

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree

May 6, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

I was told my child was sarcastic and difficult on a particularly tired day at daycare. It didn't take a lot of insight to realize where that came from, just a long, hard look in the mirror. Of course, that required a conversation because he needed to understand what it's like to be that way all the … [Read more...]

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...]

The Importance Of Reading, Writing And Arithmetics

April 22, 2015 by Alison Tedford 11 Comments

While I am a fan of the arts and sports, I believe in the basics and have tried to instill a love of them into my son. Reading, writing and arithmetic are things I live for in a geeky way and I wanted to share that weird love with him. He has been somewhat reluctant—until recently that … [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...]

Being A Single Mom & Picking Up The Pieces

April 8, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

A fresh set of eyes can be helpful in solving problems. What eyes are fresher than those of a child? My child is a very inspiring problem solver. He sees solutions that I would never even dream of because he is so imaginative. He's good at puzzles—picking up the pieces and putting them where they … [Read more...]

No Girls Allowed

April 1, 2015 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

"No girls allowed." That's what the sign said, propped up against the opening of my son's makeshift fort. He was curled up in there with his Chromebook, a lamp and a bowl of snacks. He was in his "boy cave", not to be disturbed under any circumstances. The sign was directed at me, obviously. I'm the … [Read more...]

Grocery Shopping Alone: How Parenting Has Changed Me

March 11, 2015 by Alison Tedford 4 Comments

The evidence was staring me right in the face. Parenting has changed me. It’s not just that I can’t respond to a question with “Everything is awesome” without getting that stupid song stuck in my head. Under “Things Mom Likes To Do For Fun” on his mother’s day questionnaire, my son wrote “My … [Read more...]
