Soooooo… Tyrell and I are scheduled to move into our apartment (my first time living “on my own”) on Thursday. Which means I should probably start packing my things in preparation. I’m all gung ho about this plan. “I’m going to pack up everything! Yay packing! Industrious powers…ACTIVATE!” Then I look around the room and what do I see? A MILLION THINGS TO PACK!!! Christian has just about as many clothes as I do, a pretty sizable library, a ton of toys, and a bunch of other big space-taker-uppers (swing, stroller, bouncer, exersaucer, etc.). Where the fraggle rock is all of this gonna go? Seriously. And that’s just Christian’s things. That doesn’t include my 10 bags of clothes, hundreds of books that I absolutely refuse to part with, electronics, and random crap that I hold dear to some part of my heart. You know what I just realized? I’m a hoarder. I should be on tv so that people can shame me into cutting down on things. This is beyond ridiculous. I’m thinking I’m going to be posting a lot of things on Craigslist. Starting with my clothes.

I, Tiffany, do hereby vow to go through my clothes and get rid of everything that I do not wear, cannot wear, and do not plan on wearing in the foreseeable future. No longer will I hold on to things in the hopes of being able to one day fit into them again (with the exception of my prom gown).

No more time  to waste on this post. Must. Purge. Now.

Hey, I’m Tiffany! I’m a single mom to a teenage boy, living in Central Arkansas with our two cats: Berlioz, the belly-rub-loving shadow, and Zenitsu, our adorable little terror who keeps life interesting. I work from home, homeschool, and juggle about 47 mental tabs at once thanks to ADHD.

I started Single Mommy Warrior to talk honestly about life as a single mom. The good. The hard. The funny. The parts people usually gloss over. Parenting alone. Working from home. Dating. Healing. Trying again. Learning as I go.

Professionally, I’m a copywriter who helps women grow their businesses with honest, ethical, personality-driven copy. Personally, I’m a geeky, book-loving, anime-watching human who still believes dream houses should come with libraries and secret rooms.

This isn’t a “perfect mom” blog. It’s a real one. And you’re welcome here.
