• 6’7 from Seattle…

  I thought we had chemistry — hours of late-night phone calls where everything flowed so easily. But when 6’7 from Seattle finally showed up, it turned into the weirdest, most disappointing first meeting of my life. From flaking on plans, to opening his laptop on my couch, to snoring for twelve hours straight — all…

• Unsolicited Dick Pics IN PDX

  Unsolicited dick pics: still happening, still gross, and still not the flex men think it is. In this Relentlessly Single in PDX rant, I break down why random crotch shots aren’t cute, why they’re really about control (not attraction), and how to deal with them without letting some stranger’s poor lighting ruin your day.

• Why Dating in Portland Feels Like a Never-Ending Thrift Store Hunt

  Dating in Portland isn’t just hard — it’s weird. It’s flannels at breweries, long talks about bike lanes, and more ghosting than a haunted house in October. For single moms (or really, anyone trying to date here), the scene feels less like a rom-com and more like a thrift store hunt: you might find a…

No Pinterest checklist or Target-run essentials for what it means to pack up your life, leave behind a broken marriage, and drive 2,500 miles toward a future that’s still blurry.

• the fucking audacity of: this man. He wants to be my man, but wants other women, but doesn’t want me to have another man.

• PDX & the single life

  Hinge, Tinder, and the existential crisis of trying to find love/fun (or just someone with a job, showers, and owns a bed frame) in Portland, Oregon. Let’s just get one thing straight: dating in Portland is not for the weak or the impatient. It’s for the women who can carry a toddler on one hip,…

• “d” bag in pdx

  Let me tell you about “D.” Ladies of PDX: If this guy sounds familiar or you happen to find someone who looks or sounds like any of this – do yourself a favor, and stay away. But also, tell him I said therapy on Saturdays at 11am isnt working for him – perhaps a lobotomy…

• Money & Mortgage mommy

  A financial literacy crash course for the homeowning single mama. I am very proud (and terrified) to say, that I officially occupy a space in the “I am a single, full time mom – who bought their house.” I don’t know why we put such an emphasis on this and why we are all killing…

• Dating in portland? ew.

  Let’s talk about the tragic comedy that is dating in Portland, Oregon… while being a full-time single mom in her 30s… who still doesn’t fully understand how to swipe on Hinge without accidentally matching with a guy who looks like he vapes essential oils and wears toe shoes to pick up his organic kale from…
