Hello! My name is Shelley and I am a single mom by choice of two brilliant little trolls, Caleb (7) and Callie (5 going on 20) (these are their Hollywood names). After my second divorce, I decided to give single motherhood a go, realizing that having a child was more important to me than having a partner and I wasn’t getting any younger.

With the help of a fabulous medical clinic, I was able to get pregnant and give birth to my first child, a boy, 7 years ago. When he was about 18 months, I got pregnant the “traditional” way with an individual who had no interest in being a father. My second baby was born, a girl. Through this blog, I hope to connect with others who have had similar experiences and expose a little craziness, some thoughts, emotions, burning questions, unique issues, and HUMOR that comes with raising kids, whether you are single or not.
