I'm a recently widowed single mother of 2 great kids. My oldest is 11 and the youngest will turn 2 Christmas Day. Like everyone, I love to laugh and have fun. I've traveled extensively, as I was a travel writer overseas and worked with a charity in Africa. I'd really like to find a man that is in to adventure, but is also responsible, open-minded and considerate. I work in digital media and public relations, and my hours are fairly long. My job and my kids are my life. There isn't a lot of time for dating, but I'm willing to try to fit it in. To be honest, I dread dating again. All the rules, games and etiquette tend to get in the way of having an honest experience. It's not unlike government red tape getting in the way of progress. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that my kids come first. Period. If you have kids, it's my belief that you should have the same outlook.
