2 kids, 4 kids, 5 kids?! Please hold…

The cliffhanger at the end of my last post, had a few people thinking I was pregnant. Just to clear the air, no, I am not pregnant. But I did want to share my feelings on the topic. Everyone asks me if Eli and I are going to have a kid or two together. I […]

Yours, mine, ours, and us

Last February, after months and months of painful divorce proceedings, Eli’s kids were allowed to move to Southern California with their mother. It was a devastating blow, but given the information the Judge had (a lot of it false and incomplete), it was just how things panned out. Looking back at everything that happened, it […]

So this is what having 4 kids feels like?

After our fairytale of a family night, I could not wait to get our squad together again. Eli had his kids pretty frequently at that point so we got to have a family date just about once a week. We spent our time at the park, walking around my neighborhood, and had some great family […]

We blend!

Ok, back to our story… Eli and I talked a lot about how gradually we would start including him in our daily lives. The kids were my everything, and he knew that I would always put them first. The great thing about dating someone with kids was that he understood the dynamic and the importance […]

For those of you who aren’t so lucky

This post is going to be a little bit different than my previous posts… You may have noticed that I am one of the very fortunate people, who can co-parent easily and even hang out with my Ex comfortably, but not everyone is so lucky. I know that some of you out there may be […]

Mommy’s new “friend”

Within a few short months, I felt myself falling head-over-heels in love. I did not plan on meeting someone so perfect so soon after the divorce. I was worried what people would think, and I was worried that I would fall into the same type of relationship that I had been in for the last […]

Your girl and a bunk bed

Before you start getting excited (or nervous) that this post is going to be rated R, it’s not! I have chosen to keep my blog PG. My mom reads this! 😉 In the days following my impromptu pool date with fate, Eli and I texted and snap chatted here and there. He did this crazy […]

I have kids… you do too?

I sat in the lobby of my health club (A.K.A. “the club”), where I spent a lot of time during my post-divorce months. I was sitting with my back to the front window with a pretty good view of the entire lobby, but I was focused on work and in the zone, doing something nerdy. […]

The single life

Oh, the single months… Where do I begin? Being in a relationship for 9 years and for almost my entire 20’s meant that I was never really a single adult. I missed the bar scene because I met my Ex when I was 19 and had my son when I was 22. Then, I missed […]

Sharing is caring…

Before I dive into my single mom months, I wanted to share a part of my story that a lot of people (myself included) tend to minimize when thinking about divorce. Married people share everything, right? They share space, friends, belongings, family, hobbies, and everything in between. Something I wasn’t expecting when getting divorced is […]
