Last Saturday, September 24: LadyP’s long-awaited Ladybug Picnic (aka: my first baby’s 1st birthday party). It was also the day that I interviewed Hugh Jackman for his new movie “Real Steel.” That’s right folks, I WORKED THE DAY OF MY LITTLE GIRL’S PARTY. Fret not: the interview was in the morning and the party was…

The thing that saved my a$$ this week…
It was a busy week. The thing that saved me? Nighttime showers. Silly, but true. This week turned out to be a 5-day workweek for me (woohoooo!!!) and was chock full with prepping (shopping, cooking, wrapping, planting… basically anything with an -ing on the end of it) for LadyP’s 1st birthday party this Saturday (post…
The big milestone I missed… should I mind?
I missed it. Missed it. Gone. Actually, Hubby and I BOTH missed it. Cue the mom guilt? Turns out, I’m genuinely ok with it, and I’m guessing he is too (simply because he hasn’t been whining about it). I’m talking about WALKING. Yup, FIRST STEPS. We missed it. We missed her first steps.

Why I wanted my Mommy.
Yesterday was a good day. A fun day. A learning day. A goal-accomplishing day. And yes, I wanted my mommy. Not because I was scared, intimidated or uncertain. Quite the opposite. I was H-A-P-P-Y. Yippeeee!!! I was lucky enough to guest co-host for HLN’s Showbiz Tonight (as you may have seen) and I almost couldn’t…
In NYC on the 10th anniversary of 9/11: What will I tell her?
I will tell her how the usual buzzing energy of my favorite city was different on this particular day, 9/11/11. I will tell her that I was sent here as the second part of a work assignment that pushes me closer and closer to a dream job. I will tell her how frightened I was…
