A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
Here’s a riddle for ya: What’s soft, comforting and much more fabulous than a ratty blankie being dragged all over the floor? A luxe, faux fur coat. Credit LadyP for coming up with this one. Has she been hanging out with mafia wives behind my back? (She has taken a new liking to salami and [...]
6 weeks away until Go-Day. What’s driving me crazy (the most)? Everyone keeps telling me to sit down and take it easy. With all respect, YOU sit down and take it easy. Strangers in the Nordstrom Ladies’ Lounge tell me I shouldn’t be picking up my 23-lb toddler. My mom tells me not to bend [...]
I’ve always marveled at celebrity features in magazines that profile what the latest It-Girl has in her purse. Yeah. Like those are not staged and concocted with neat-and-clean precision and product-placement. I wish I had those same stylists…. You wanna see what’s in my bag? Might as well look in a garbage can. My picture [...]
Viva Las Vegas! Booze. Wild sex. Hangovers. All of which I had nothing to do with on this recent trip. It was the most controlled and sober Sin City experience I’ve ever had (and hope to have, for that matter). Thank you, Baby Bump. But I did have lots of fun. Mostly thanks to Hubby, [...]
Last night Hubby and I attended VH1′s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards (as part of my membership of the Broadcast Film Critics Association). I got all gussied up (heels, big hair, too much jewelry). It was exactly what I needed. Clooney, Pitt and all the Hollywood usuals showed up to either present or accept an award. [...]
This week’s got me workin’ the Bump (I capitalize it now since it seems soooo big to me all of a sudden… it wasn’t like this the first time around!). The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards (on VH1 – TONIGHT!) and a trip to Vegas are just a few of the shenanigans I’ve got going on [...]
Most frequently asked question to me every time I go somewhere these days: What are you having? A baby. I tell them with a smiling, snotty look on my face. Then they look confused. “I’m waiting to find out until delivery.” More confusion. I shouldn’t be so defensive about their friendly inquiries. Afterall, most of [...]
Need I say more? The fact that I’m even in the market to purchase a double-stroller is contrary – and borderline devastating – to everything I’ve thought and believed in up to this point. True, I pride myself on not making a big deal out of baby-chaos and moving along with life as usual with [...]
Holy Mother. How the eff did I get to be almost 8 months pregnant (again). I just did the math and was horrified. My heart literally stopped for a second and I gasped. And then I saw my emerging mini-double chin (in the video below) and really gasped. No wonder I’ve been feeling tired. And [...]
I’m starting 2012 with a bang. In an effort to add spice and humor to an otherwise sweet-but-ordinary ‘happy new year’ card, I may have jumped the grid just a little bit. The front was fun and family-centric… But the back was… well… those of you who got one know what I did. THE FLIPSIDE [...]
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!
