A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
Maybe it was the short week that threw me off. Maybe it was the 2 baby girls that refused – REFUSED – to go to bed when they are supposed to. Maybe it was my constantly-running nose. Whatever the case, this week was TOUGH. Nothing bad happened, but I’m glad it’s over. I overextended myself [...]
Flag? Check. A full grill? Check. A backyard packed with family and friends? Check. Being thankful for our troops? Check. So what did I forget? See if you can figure it out from the picture below: I FORGOT THE STARS AND STRIPES! Thanks to LadyP and LilMiss’ little playmate (far left) rightfully and royally decked [...]
Who knew I’d come to such realizations about life during a few hours in Hollywood. It was a good week. A great week. A week that never would’ve happened (literally) if I hadn’t become a mom. Had I know things like this were in store during my first pregnancy 2 years ago, maybe I wouldn’t [...]
It’s no secret that I have an affection for underwear. Which is what inspired me to take care of business today… Today was big. Into the trash can. Done. Finito. After all, it has been 2 whole months since I had baby #2. No need for them anymore. That portion of the program is O.V.E.R. [...]
Ok, so my title here is probably a bit harsh, but I haven’t finished my coffee yet so I’m using that as an excuse for my brashness. Thanks to the now-infamous Time Magazine cover, recent debates and ongoing media “conversations” about attachment parenting that won’t go away (like on today’s Anderson) I’ve finally hit a breaking [...]
You ready for another *Real Fab Mom*? MEET ANYA SARRE. She’s sassy. She’s smart. She’s sweet. She’s stylish. As in, THE celebrity stylist for TV’s top rated Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. Oh yeah… she’s also expecting her first baby in July. With her long blonde hair, head-to-toe designer duds and a glamorous lifestyle that’d make [...]
My second Mother’s Day is down. Over. O.V.E.R. And I faked it goooooooood. But not after I had a sincerely wonderful time with my beautiful baby girls and loving Hubby… at a Hollywood brunch spot that is totally inappropriate for children. But that’s what I wanted. And on Mother’s Day, the Mom wins despite better [...]
Ok Mom… Last Mother’s Day I blamed you for a lot of things. That was fun. This year I’m going to call you out even more and tell everyone about all the things you never did as a mom. Brace yourself. You never allowed me to think that I couldn’t handle anything – and I do [...]
This weekend I got to re-live my pregnant days (as if they were so far away). Honored to be one of the ‘official’ bloggers of Pregnancy Awareness Month, I attended the huuuuuge kickoff event here in LA (I still can’t believe my belly missed it by a matter of weeks). If you were there, you [...]
I was this close to a divorce this week all thanks to my car keys. And house keys. And my parents’ house keys. I lost em all. ALL. They completely evaporated, disappeared, vanished, kapoofed. I was in denial the first few days, convinced that my LadyP had unintentionally (or, intentionally) hidden them from me so [...]
Recently I attended a posh little soiree that celebrated the re-launch of resource 100% Natural Spring Water (thanks to Savvy Sassy Moms). The water was crisp, the company was cool… but the kicker was how the fabulous Jeremiah Brent (from The Rachel Zoe Project) admitted that he’s got a little UNfabulous in him. (Ok, I [...]
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!
