Featured Advertiser: Hair Rules
9Well, here I am, on the cusp of another natural hair milestone so I figured what better way to mark that than by thanking one of those who’s been with me all along? So here’s a big, Good Enough Mother sloppy kiss to Hair Rules, a featured advertiser and a line I love.
When I first decided to go natural, I was on a quest to find the products that would work best for my hair. Remember now, I had been straightening my hair for about three decades and it wasn’t until it started falling out that More >
The GEM Debate: Can Trial Separation Save Your Marriage?
14
Ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy it’s times like this I’m glad Buff doesn’t read Good Enough Mother. I found a very interesting piece today on a couple that decided to take a break from each other in order to save their marriage. After three decades of marriage, their relationship had become, as the husband described, “almost toxic” and they knew they were going to have to take drastic action. What they came up with was taking time apart. Take a peek:

Ask Rene: Should I Choose Stability Or Smokin’ Sex?
10Hi Rene:
I hope you don’t think I’m being shallow but I need a second opinion. I’m seeing two men and they could not be more different. I’ve known Thomas since we were in middle school (we’re in our late 20’s now). He’s an amazingly compassionate, caring guy; he’s also smart, considerate and has a great job. But there is no heat in the sex department. Zero.Zip.Zilch. It’s not just boring, it’s infrequent as well!
And then there’s Greg. The proverbial “bad boy”; the chemistry between us was More >
Back To School, Back To Sleep!

School is just around the corner (though some kids are already back) and you know what that means? My kids are going to have to stop living the lives of hard partying rock stars and get to bed at a decent hour. That’s right, time for Good Enough Mother to put the bedtime hammer down!
I never quite know how to do that and as a result, I have two cranky kids on my hands for the first couple of weeks of school. But no more! I asked my friend, Dr. Sue, aka, The Kid’s Doctor for some help. She

Dancing With The Stars: What Do You Think Of The New Cast?
32A lot of times we reserve this space to debate big issues like sex, inequality and racism. But life is like a well-balanced meal; it can’t be all meat and potatoes, you need some fluffy stuff in there too. So pull up a chair and get ready to partake of today’s lighter-than-air offering as we talk about the new Dancing With The Stars cast on ABC.
Now those of you who are regulars around these parts know this is my guilty pleasure; my interest first piqued when that God-awful Kate Gosselin was More >
Single Mom Slice Of Life: Try A Little Understanding
2I just wrote the most absurd Facebook message ever.
“Is it safe to assume that while we sweat out 116* weather, you’re going to be busy battling a hurricane? Perhaps we can have our chat once the weather makes up its mind for both sides of the union?”
Literally 30 minutes later came a Facebook posting regarding the hurricane in question:
“And here she comes…”
Please believe that because this just happened, I am still red in the face. Granted, I have never ‘battled’ a hurricane. What others More >
