Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I thought I would start by sharing the trial and tribulations of my daughter’s arrival and first year on this planet. From conception to her first year, was some of the most difficult times of my life but have played a part in shaping me into the parent I am today so I feel it’s important [...]
Letting Go of Control for Successful Co-Parenting
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a single-parent is to let go of control.
Taking control certainly didn’t serve my marriage, so I know I need to keep it out of my co-parenting relationship with Max’s Dad.
But alas, I am not perfect, and despite my good intentions…I’m not always successful!

It’s because I believe that raising them is like investing in the stock market. As long as I put something into it each month I am bound to get a good return on my investment. At [...]
Who could have called it!?
Thursday, September 24th, 2009“Dad, why aren’t you and mom together?”
That question hasn’t come my way yet, but it will. It’s inevitable.
I expect our son to have natural questions about why his mom and dad aren’t together. I have ideas about what I will eventually tell him. One thing I find great pleasure in, and I hope he will, too, [...]
Tracy and mini me
Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009Hi everyone,
First let me express my gratitude to Bill for giving me the opportunity to share the Tales of Tracy with all of you. I’ve actually been wanting to journal my adventures in parenting for quite some time so this was the kick in the butt I needed to make it happen.
My intentions are [...]
