Meet my current reputation-saver: Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo. Every mom in the world should stock up on this before baby arrives. It’s saved my life more times than I can count in the last month. Thanks to you, Mr. Blandi, I no longer look like I can fry french fries on top of my head. I [...]

So this was Christmas.

No one tells you that becoming a new mom also means missing Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate). Holidays with a baby = Scarfing down dinner alone at a long dining room table by yourself (after all of the food has been put away), not having dessert, unsuccessfully attempting to drink 2 cocktails (that you wind up [...]

Mommy at work. My interview with Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges.

Need to relax after the holidays? Head to your local moviehouse and see True Grit. AMAZING. But first, watch my interviews with the great Jeff Bridges and cast! Too bad I had about 3 total hours of sleep the night before… thanks for lookin’ out for Mommy, LadyP! CLICK HERE! Mommy shows her True Grit Tweet [...]

Ode to the orange trash can.

I’m learning to appreciate and value the simple things… like the orange trash can that entertained LadyP for a whole hour during today’s holiday shopping lunch break. She cooed and oohed and aahed at the bright receptacle, and screamed every time I tried to face her away from it. Was it the obnoxious color that [...]

Mommy at work. My interview with Justin Timberlake.

So, one of LadyP’s little nicknames is BooBoo, but I got to meet the ORIGINAL BooBoo! My interviews with the cast of Yogi Bear… Justin Timberlake, Dan Aykroyd, Anna Faris and Tom Cavanagh. (A movie appropriate for all ages, by the way.) When I watched this for the first time, LadyP was on my lap [...]

Merry merry? Quite contrary.

Twas the week before Christmas… and New-Mom was a mess! Is it normal for me to be too pooped for Christmas? Sad to say, but I’m kinda over this holiday season. Whoever started making such a big deal about “Baby’s First Christmas” must have had their kid at the beginning of year (meaning that, by Christmas, [...]

Mind your manners at the mothers’ meeting!

Who knew there was an entire culture of mothers hiding out in bathrooms in malls across America? I completed yet another rite of passage into mommyhood this past week… in the Ladies’ Lounge at my nearby Nordstrom. The things that go on in there… It was like another world! And I got stuck in there [...]

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY.

Bring your baby to work? Thanks Russell Brand.

Russell-Brand

Who else has done the unthinkable? I did today, thanks to Russell Brand (the wildly talented & wacky movie star married to Katy Perry). Today I was assigned to interview the cast of the upcoming movie of Shakespeare’s The Tempest (Helen Mirren, Russell Brand, Djimon Hounsou). Despite the fact that I secured a babysitter for this [...]
