Welcome to One Mom Magazine!
​     We're a new online magazine for single mothers--and their families and friends. ​We created One Mom Magazine as a hub of information, resources, inspiration, and community for people who identify as single mothers and for the people in their lives. So much good can happen when we work together. 
     For starters, single moms can join our sister company, the Single Mothers Discount Card (SMDCard), to get discounts on all sorts of goods and services for themselves and their children. SMDCard Business Partners understand that we single moms could use a boost and they offer us the same discounts they give to students, seniors, veterans, and teachers.

Laney's Introduction to "Afloat"
I think so many of us feel that there are days when it's just too much and we have no time for the beauty of motherhood. We keep going fueled by pure love and determination, and somehow, the beauty seeps in anyway and that is the gift we are given. My daughter is now grown. She is a mariner, working for, and sometimes piloting, the Washington State Ferries. She has worked on the water for years in Alaska and Hawaii and now she's back in Seattle, living only a half hour from me. We are kindred spirits and I'm more grateful than words could express.
AFLOAT
A poem by Laney Williams, 2024

to come this far in a punctured vessel
hunched over, bailing buckets of weariness
water seeps in and surrounds my ankles
an oily sheen and the slight stench of reality

those years were eons, working hours
struggling to find safe harbor
for myself and my small passenger
never enough time to savor

eyelashes as she slept, casting shadows
on cheeks of softest innocence
my charge to protect this magnificence 
not a hardship but a glad relief

wondering was love sufficient
to keep the chill out, to keep her warm
not wanting her to ever need to bail
hoping the waves gently rocked her

now, as the morning steam rises
and wanes to reveal the shining gulf
I see I passed on the legacy to strive
unable to cushion her completely

I couldn’t keep the world out                  
but the gift I could give was dedication
that kept us afloat upon the blue billows
and she will always know she was loved
