Ha ha!

If my Alexas start sharing notes, I’m unplugging everything and moving to the woods.

I’m in editing mode and it’s almost More Coffee o’clock.

I wish pets lived longer.
That wine was a superfood.
That houses vacuumed themselves.
That clean water was available to everyone.
And that kindness mattered more than money and power. Jed agrees.

Me as I get on the treadmill: Alexa, find me a podcast on writing. Alexa: Sure, here’s a podcast on riding you may like… 🙄 Any suggestions?

I wrote a lighthearted piece about technology, self-driving cars, and the moment you realize you’ve officially become the person who complains about “things these days.” 
If you enjoy observational humour (and gentle tech skepticism), you might enjoy this one. www.moxie-dude.com/2025/10/22/i...

! I’m Mona. I’m a 61-year-old mom to four amazing young adults, an award-winning humour blogger, and the author of SUPERWOMAN: A Funny and Reflective Look at Single Motherhood. I didn’t just live the life of a single mom. I wrote the book on it.

OMG I snort-laughed my tea right out of my nose.

Birthday gift from my daughter. Clearly I did something right. 🙃🥰😂

Dear Guilt, You’re Not the Boss of Me is a bonus piece I wrote alongside SUPERWOMAN (The Sh*t They Don’t Tell You Edition), launching March 3, 2026. For single moms, guilt, and the freedom that comes from letting it go. www.cynren.com/bonus-dear-g...

Silence protects bad actors. 
Vocabulary dismantles them. When we finally have the words for what we’re witnessing, it becomes harder to look away… and impossible to pretend we didn’t know. Clearly, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much power there is in simply naming things.

I identify as a 61-year-old woman who finally knows her place in the world. (And it feels great!) Pronouns: Try / Me. It took single motherhood, a lot of unlearning, and a few hard resets to get here. If you’re still figuring it out — you’re not late. You’re just becoming.

Confession: I have a desk drawer with a story. The kind of story that makes you think, “I really need a delete-my-stuff-if-I-die friend.” And here’s the link to that story… www.moxie-dude.com/2026/01/05/w...

🤣

Confession: this drawer has stories. The kind of stories that make you think, “I really need a delete-my-stuff-if-I-die friend” New post is up — inspired by… well… this. www.moxie-dude.com/2026/01/05/w...

Motherhood is loud — until suddenly, it isn’t. And sometimes the silence feels even louder than the chaos. I wrote about that moment… and what comes next. “Silence isn’t empty — it’s a comeback in progress.” moxiemona.substack.com/p/single-mom...

Gift from a friend. I call it my morning mood mug. 🙃 #coffeecheers

Cozy writing weather has officially arrived. Ask me again how much I love it when I have to go out and scrape the windshield.

Before and after pics of what my someone did for me. Love. Love. LOVE.

Prince Charming didn’t show up. 
The literary agent didn’t either. 
But I did — and that changed everything. Read the full story here: open.substack.com/pub/moxiemon...

The chef is cheffing. I’m pouring. Who has the most important job?

My job as a kid. Today this would be considered child abuse.

When someone you admire and respect reads an advance copy of your upcoming book and takes the time to write kind words to your publisher… wow. Humbled. Grateful. Speechless.

teslas drive themselves, but this post drives home the truth. I’ve officially become the woman who hates the future.   www.moxie-dude.com/2025/10/22/i...

That time my girls and I started a worldwide trend. Well, maybe not worldwide. But in my household? Totally! open.substack.com/pub/moxiemon...
