Aleandra

Single Professional Mother

Aleandra 10/23/13 Baby, we’re having a baby. No that wasn’t right. In eight months, we’re going to be a family of five not four. This was still my favorite. Sean. I’m pregnant.

Mommy Failure

Single Professional Mother

Mia L. Hazlett 3/18/13   This weekend was the first weekend in a very long time that I had to question my mothering. Most of the time I’m pretty sure the decisions I make will pay off in the long run. This week just felt different. The one hour lost sent me into a week… Continue reading Mommy Failure

To My Daughters’ Ex-Boyfriend

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/6/13 Dear Lost One: There is a reason you are no longer in my daughters' life.

My “Firstborn”

By: Mia L. Hazlett 6/1/12 Almost 18 years ago, I had my "Firstborn".  She is my favorite "Firstborn" because, I gained no weight, retained no water, and there were no sleepless nights.

A Family Thing

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/7/12 I know I preach so much about "The Village," but I believe in The Village.  I don't believe there are any single parents out there.  If you claim to be a single parent, than I believe you have a pride problem or you take a lot of people for granted… Continue reading A Family Thing

The Godmuthah!

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 5/3/12 So what are godparents to you and your family?  Well to me they must reflect God (I love how people leave this out even with the given title), must have children,  a very similar approach to raising a child, and my kids must know and love them.  These are not… Continue reading The Godmuthah!

I’m So ANGRY!!

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/13/12 One of the things I've learned about my kids, they are people.  They are exactly like us adults when it comes to their emotions, they just require much more guidance with their emotional expression (so do some adults for that matter).  When I was a first-time mom, this was one… Continue reading I’m So ANGRY!!

Mommy Time

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 3/3/12 As a parent, one of the things I struggle with is suppressing my guilt when it comes to "Me Time."

BFF…Not!

Single Professional Mother

By: Mia L. Hazlett 2/28/12 So I'm coming down with a cold and the only thing I wanted to do tonight was come home and go to sleep.  I did the mommy thing and my oldest came up to me with a frown around bedtime.  From behind her back she pulled out a bracelet she… Continue reading BFF…Not!
