About Us

We know what solo parenting looks like. It’s not very glamorous. It’s absolutely a challenge. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking, sometimes hilarious. But we love our kids, and we want to raise them to be proud of who they are. Your Solo Parent Magazine community offers a wink and a smile, upbeat content and relevant advice, to keep you springing forward. We strive to empower the millions of solo parents who are raising kids in a non-traditional framework. Welcome to the Solo Nation.

We might be solo, but we are not alone. ™
