Single mothers and fathers by divorce, single parents by choice, Second Timers (grandparents raising children), single NOT by choice (widows/widowers) and even those parents who are living parallel lives inside the same home.
Making Lemonade was created by Jodi Seidler, a single mother with a sense of humor and a sense of purpose, Making Lemonade has become the leading one-stop-place for single parents on the Internet since 1997.
Jodi, divorced when Sam was 4, didn't find much when she searched for online community support, so she created her own web page. "A Day in the Life of a Single Mother" was so successful, it further evolved into Making Lemonade, a sophisticated site that offers links to single parenting resources, bulletin boards, poetry, stories, email chat groups, and a semi-monthly newsletter.
