A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
In years past, I was lucky to get live, up-close views of the incredible dresses on Hollywood’s biggest night. This year yielded no such fabulousness… unless you count my butt planted on my couch – eyes glued to the TV – with a bowl of macaroni-and-cheese as being ‘fabulous.’ (Although, I did have FUN with [...]
“I get strict with my Goddaughter… I get strict with other people’s kids,” Jennifer told me with a slight chuckle when I interviewed her (with Adam Sandler) a few weeks ago for their movie Just Go With It (in theaters now). Adam also attested that the former Friends star would be much “stricter” than him [...]
Despite my hubby’s protest about the title of this entry, I wonder if I’m walking a fine line of sexy/slutty lately. Check out this picture that my sister texted me of a storefront window… Upon seeing it, I squealed with delight and thought it was a fun and brazen display of the ‘new, sexy mom’ [...]
Thanks to my day job, now I do (as much as you can get to know someone in a 4-minute interview, when your only objective is to find out about the movie they’re in). Check out my interview with Liam Neeson and his cast from this weekend’s new movie “Unknown.” Those of you who know [...]
LadyP’s way of making a cold, rainy day fabulous. These beauties were a gift from Grandma. Bloomingdales, somewhere around $25. And they’re practical too. They’re warm. Tweet this!
Am I the only new mommy who got her butt kicked by Valentine’s Day? In my before-baby life, I thought of this holiday-of-love as an added excuse to be playfully naughty+nice with my Hubby. Yesterday yielded no such results. Welcome to parenthood, right? That’s not to say that I didn’t have a good day… LadyP [...]
Truth is, my mom made me do it. It’s the first time I’ve been called to NYC for work since LadyP was born… aka the first time I left her overnight. Earlier today, I interviewed Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and the rest of the cast from the soon-to-be-released movie The Adjustment Bureau. As I write this, I’m [...]
Does anyone else despise this stupid chore? Not doing it makes me feel like I’ve already given up on the day, but doing it is so damn annoying. Despite my inane efforts to keep life snappy and ‘fab,’ I most often don’t make the bed until about 5pm (right before Hubby comes home) just to [...]
It’s true. I can’t live without it. Get your heads outta the gutter! I’m talking about my Spanx… the brilliant little contraptions that suck it all in and fit you back into your skinny jeans. Posted today on Momversation.com, I’m chatting with other mommies about our fave ‘new-mom’ products that we can’t live without. The usuals [...]
When in doubt about whether or not to wash one’s hair (when one actually has enough time), just wash it. You never know when you’ll have time to wash it again. Take it from me…. I now know better. Tweet this!
What are your plans today? Just when I thought today’s activities would consist of me plus a peppermint latte at a screening of the new movie Unknown (for some interviews I’m doing Saturday), my sitter called me and said her car wouldn’t start. I felt bad for her… and also bad for me. I can [...]
The BEST Birthday card… ever! Shout to my great friend that sent it to me. This card hit a chord with me. Although I turned “29″ for NOT the first time yesterday, I will humbly tell you that I’ve never felt better, more focused or more centered than I do this year…. Maybe I’ve finally grown [...]
Hi all. Jill Simonian here. I’m a TV Host & Entertainment Journalist who somehow ended up with TWO *surprise* baby girls under the age of 2. I'm still trying to figure out how this happened. LadyP barged in September 2010 and LilMiss arrived March 2012. TheFabMom was born in 2011 as an experiment to keep life flirty, fun, focused & as close to fabulous as possible after babies. Here you will find my personal stories, realizations & rants about keeping mommyhood, lifestyle and my work on TV fab... all with a wild toddler and bouncy infant. Got tips? Send 'em my way!
