Things I Learned As A Single Mom

In no particular order...

• Vacuuming is a great way to play chase and get some housework done at the same time. Unless your child is scared of the vacuum. And then it would be a great way to get some alone time.
• No matter what they say, sippy cups will leak.
• Play groups are survival 101 for stay-at-home moms.
• I never got my copy of survival 101 for stay-at-home moms.
• There is a fortune to be made in the invention of a hip holster for baby wipes.
• Getting multiple children in and out of the car may very well be the most complex problem solving skill ever.
• 16 months is plenty old enough to play outside alone.
• If you think your house is kid-proofed, get on the phone or start breastfeeding another child.
• Bathing is for wimps.
• Kids climb up stairs much faster when you're not looking.
• Any additional lessons were miraculously wiped clean from my memory - kind of like the pain of childbirth.
