About Brooke Billings

I'm a single mom trying to navigate the world of parenting, dating, working and writing! My life is organized chaos, and I love every minute of it.

I have found ways to make staying fashionable on a budget easy, which will make any single mom happy! You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on basics. I stock up on layering tank tops at Old Navy in the early Fall when they are all on clearance. Most of the time the clearance... continue reading
