A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
And to think that I can’t stand SUVs. Don’t like driving ‘em… but now trying to find the humor in pushing them. The irony. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit I’ve been dreading this day. My tips for minimizing the ridiculousness? Don’t wear red (otherwise someone might mistake you for the caboose on a [...]
We did it! Thanks to The Zen Mom, I just did my first Spreecast (kind of a Skype-meets-YouTube). We talked EVERYTHING new mommyhood… everything that concerns having 2 babies less than 2 years apart! WATCH HERE! (And yes, I show you – again – what I’m *still* hiding under my shirt.) Tweet this!
It’s been 3 weeks since LilMiss was born. With the exception of the numb & uncomfy scar that’s healing right above my hoo-ha, I can legitimately say that I’m now back to ‘me.’ (Ok, I’m about 80% back to me… sleep deprived with a few extra pounds that I need to get rid of in [...]
One of my little-known obsessions is putting on lotion. When I wake up, go to bed, before a shower, after a shower, morning, noon and night. No unfabulous dry skin for me. So when Dr. Sears contacted me to test new baby care products for review on this site, naturally I said yes. More like hell [...]
This St. Patty’s day, I let a couple o’ lucky cabbages get to second base… It was the most action anybody’s gotten at my house in a while. Did you know that cupping cabbage leaves on the inside of your bra soothes engorged breasts and slows milk production for new moms? Now ya do. That’s [...]
What a bunch of perverts you all must be… ha! (I do have the most fun coming up with titles for this little blog… but I digress.) My new baby is *officially* one week old… NOW! Last week this time I was having crazy contractions while trying to will the baby to not force me [...]
Aaaaaaaand, I’m back. But it might be in small intervals in the coming weeks (considering that I have a new little small creature to look after between running after LadyP). So, I’ll introduce you to the new chick who will serve as added entertainment and inspiration for TheFabMom… meet LilSis (until I come up with [...]
Aw hell…. I’ll show you mine regardless. My bump… and my diaper – (OOPS! I keep getting ahead of myself!) – I mean, HOSPITAL bag. I’ve got the usuals, but since I’ve done this before I’ve added a heavily-overlooked go-to lifesaver to my having-a-baby supplies. WATCH: THE REST OF MY LIST? Toothbrush/toiletries… A fluffy [...]
Now that I’ve stopped denying that I’m going to have TWO (!!?!?!) un-pottytrained munchkins under my roof the next year, diapers are all I can think about. The thought of them kinda makes me crazy lately. Changes with LadyP currently go like this: Screaming. Squirming. Kicking. Rolling. Standing. Attempting to bungee jump off the changing [...]
STOP. Obviously, I have (as it’s been more than a week since my last post). Had no other choice. Countless false contractions, cramping and various things falling out from down under (that’s as most of an explanation as you’re gonna get) have convinced me that it’s time to STOP for a little bit. (I self-induced [...]
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!
