Love – Mom on the go in Holy Toledo

What Do I Look for in a Man? Someone Who Doesn’t Just Watch Me Carry It All.

November 10, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

So, what do I look for in a man? Funny you should ask. 😂 At this stage of my life, I can tell you it’s a hell of a lot different from what I might have said in my 20s. I want a man who genuinely wants me to become the best version of myself. Not someone who tells me whatever bullshit I want to hear, but someone who has my back, challenges me, calls me out when necessary, and encourages me to grow. Even when I get frustrated, pissed off, and don’t particularly appreciate hearing it in the moment. I want a man who sees my potential, even on the days when I’m too exhausted to see it myself.

Divorce can affect your emotions, finances and family routines long before any paperwork reaches the court.

$300, Three Kids, and a Divorce I Never Wanted… But This Is What Happened Next.

October 30, 2026October 30, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Five years ago, at 41, I was a very different woman. Not necessarily on the outside, although the pictures might suggest otherwise, but on the inside. I had spent nearly two decades married, 16 years as a stay-at-home mom, and somewhere along the way, I’d lost something I didn’t even realize was missing. My confidence. My voice. My belief in myself. And perhaps the saddest part? I had allowed someone else’s opinion of me to become my own inner dialogue.

October 27, 2026October 28, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Well, this was unexpected! I wasn’t looking for love, especially not in Cincinnati, but sometimes the best relationships happen when you least expect them. The curves, the chemistry, the unexpected thrills, and OMG, the way I was treated! Let’s just say the 513 did things to me that Toledo hasn’t in YEARS! And now? I can’t stop thinking about going back. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning, because this love affair deserves a proper introduction.

Other Mommy (2026): The Horror Movie Everyone Hated That Had Me Crying for an Entirely Different Reason

October 19, 2026October 19, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

I’ll be honest, I almost didn’t see Other Mommy. After reading the reviews and seeing all the negative feedback, I had absolutely ZERO intention of spending my hard-earned money on what critics were calling one of the worst horror movies of the year. But my daughter insisted, and thank GOD she did! Because after watching it, I actually have to agree with the critics on one thing: if you’re expecting a traditional horror movie, you’re probably going to be disappointed. But here’s where we part ways. I think this movie was placed in the WRONG category! Because if you look beyond the horror

I Said I Had No Regrets After My Divorce. I Lied.

October 10, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Content note: This post discusses divorce, financial abuse, emotional distress, and the challenges of single parenting.

For a long time, if someone asked me whether I had any regrets after my divorce, I would say no.

No regrets.

I survived. I kept my house. I kept my kids. I figured out how to pay the bills, work multiple jobs, and keep a household running while raising three children.

I’m also going to graduate school, working toward a future in mental health counseling. I’m trying to build a career, invest in my future, and create a life that looks different from the one I had before. All while parenting three children who are no longer little kids, but teenagers and young adults who are still learning how to navigate the world.

But recently, I’ve realized there is one thing I deeply regret.

Supporting Grieving Families: Thoughtful Approaches to Funeral Planning

October 9, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Funeral planning often begins when a family is tired, emotional, and facing decisions they never expected to make so quickly. Support during this time should feel calm and practical, with space for each person to process the loss in their own way. Some relatives may want to talk through every detail, while others may struggle to choose anything at all. Clear information, patient communication and access to grief counseling can help families move through the immediate days without feeling pressured or overlooked.

How to Know You Are Ready for a Serious Relationship After Divorce

September 23, 2026momonthegoinholytoledo

Someone 8 months out of a 14-year marriage feels a pull towards company. That pull is indistinguishable from the pull towards a partner, and acting on it early tends to reproduce the marriage that ended. Loneliness and readiness produce the same urge and require opposite responses. The signals that separate them are known, and none of them involve how much time has passed.
