A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
Although I was warned many, many months ago about the impending stench of LadyP’s diapers once she started eating real solid food, I had no idea what I was in for. Can you say toxic waste? What used to be ‘no big deal’ has now turned into a huge ordeal that I dread several times [...]
OK, I barely even wanted a baby shower at all (but then again, my baby was an oopsie-daisy surprise, so it took me about 8 full months before I gave in to the fact that I was even having a baby at all). Now that I’m a mom I’m realizing that baby showers are a [...]
One of the beauties of having “mom” as a title is that you can blame your baby for any and all things. I used to blame my baby for wanting to needing to drink several cups of coffee to get going. I used to blame my baby when I accidentally farted (I would tell my [...]
Guess what’s in these: Wrong. That’s ok, I give you credit for effort. Talk about a Fab-Find. What’s inside of these mini-trunks are the antithesis of fabulous home decor. That’s right, I’m not ashamed to hide my little LadyP’s sparkly noisemakers, stacking blocks, [...]
Toronto: It was our first trip together sans baby. I was totally excited and totally weirded out. What the HELL were Hubby and I going to talk about for 4 days all by our lonesome on our happy-anniversary-to-us trip? I packed flirty dresses, high heels, lingerie… but would I know what to do with them? [...]
So I’ve learned a few things this summer… thanks to my childhood idol Punky Brewster. No, I don’t attempt to wear different-colored socks anymore (like Punky did) but thanks to a grown-up gal now known to the online community as @moonfrye, I’m more prone to embrace the chaos of life, love and motherhood more than [...]
Something very, very BIG happened to me this week… much bigger than what I thought my career would’ve presented me with just 10 months after having my first baby. Of course I’m not allowed to talk details about it, but I’ve been walking on air with a whisper of disbelief about the sequence of events [...]
Nope. He can’t get rid ‘o me. Stuck. Between a rock and hard place. Forever and ever. Amen. Good thing I’m so fab. (Ha! That one’s for you sweetie!) We all have our sweet and special reasons for being smitten with our spouse… But logically speaking, LadyP and I need him. He’s the only one [...]
It’s about 9pm and I am officially ready to start my day. Too bad it’s almost over… I just showered and got dressed. If babies can spend entire days in onesies, then so can I. Yup, I spent all day in my underwear and it was fabulous. (Notice I said underwear… not lingerie… don’t get [...]
I’ve had a major attitude problem the past 4 months. Correction: My intended good attitude has not been as successful as I’d imagined. As of April, I’ve no longer been a ‘city girl’ and have been lamenting it ever since. Thanks to a silly little dream of owning a home with Hubby, I’m now a [...]
I just needed to get gas. What started with me standing beside my car in sunglasses (watching the pump ticker go all the way up to $75!) quickly turned into me giving a lecture to a young man about how being a con-artist (IF he was one) is NOT cool. What the?!?!?!?? “Excuse me ma’am [...]
Making the 3-hour trip to visit Grandma has it’s perks for everybody… even YOU. 3 crazy-fun days with my wacky side of the family accounted for countless giggles from LadyP and memories that I’m already cherishing, but here are a few extra perks that I took advantage of: Waking up at an hour (with LadyP [...]
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!
