Single Parents in the Online Dating Scene

For many single parents it seems as if online dating is the only way to meet someone in our current situation. Most single mothers have a very limited amount of time to meet people.

Updating Your Family Portrait

When was the last time you updated your family portrait? It’s been nearly three years since my family sat down for a formal photo, which is why I figured this summer would be a great time for an update.

It’s a good way to save money. What’s more, with a little practice just about anyone with an interest in photography can take stellar group shots. … Continue reading →

Weight Loss and Dating: What to Eat

You are dating and currently dieting as well. Should you tell him or her? If it is a first date then I do not think that you have to go into details. You should eat, but choose something like a decent salad. Do not sit and move your food around on the plate and pick at it. Nobody likes to eat alone. Your date will probably be uncomfortable and feel like he or she should not be eating either. They will also feel like, “Why did we go out to eat?” It is slightly annoying. If it has been several … Continue reading →
