A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
The story you’re about to read is true. The events depicted are not exaggerated, fabricated or made up in any way. Aliases have been created to protect those involved. Ready? Here goes: It all began as such a nice day at Nordstrom… browsing, looking, perusing at our leisure. Just me, LadyP, LilMiss, GrandmaFab… and the [...]
I’ll just get it out of the way now: My recent – FIRST – trip to the beach with babies did involve nakedness. Not mine. Theirs. But it was only for a split second. We had no other choice. It was either lay down and be naked for a minute, or watch poop seep out [...]
Humor me with a quick flashback to November 2010: LadyP was 2 months old and I was waging a wild and desperate war on frumpy postpartum mommyhood. Those of you who’ve followed my humble ramblings from the beginning of my momventure will remember my fluffy hot pink purchase (aka my FIRST fab-find after baby #1 [...]
After hemming and hawing (practically my entire life) about how driving a minivan is the beginning of all-things-frumpy, I must retract some of my preconceived notions NOW. Is plush leather frumpy? No. Is a sweet DVD/sound system frumpy? No. Is a vehicle that revs up to 90mph almost as fast as my BMW did frumpy? [...]
Ahem ahem… Hello my little Chrysler Town & Country… Let’s talk. I think we need to discuss a few things about this mid-week test-drive report. I appreciate your willingness to be a good sport about my crazy life. I know it’s been rough (that recent 22-hour workday — literally, a 22-hour workday, with jobs beginning with me [...]
I’ll admit I came up with this fab little system when LadyP was an infant, but forgot about it until recently. You see, despite my efforts to stay fab with 2 babies now, I seem to be slipping more and more. And it all starts with me NOT fixing the bed. 5pm will roll around [...]
When I started this little experiment called TheFabMom about a year and half ago, I had no idea I’d be eating my words so frequently. This time, I have Chrysler to thank. I’ll let my little video break the ice for this one: So why am I now agreeing to test drive a Chrysler [...]
Yeah. Moms are smart. And cool. And fun. And know how to create products that will work for our families, give us a giggle AND often give back to our communities all at the same time. If you caught my recent show-and-tell on Los Angeles’ KTLA-5′s Weekend Morning News, you know what I’m talkin’ about. Check [...]
You ready for another Real Fab Mom?!? YEAH. We’re all due. MEET GINGER CHAN. She’s a pinch of this and pinch of that… all good things, of course. To say she’s spicy is an understatement. Southern California morning TV viewers know Ginger’s savvy and swift-talking traffic reports from KTLA-5′s Morning News and from LA’s On Air [...]
Our tips for a fab Fourth? Get equipped with proper uniforms. Make sure it fits right. Accessorize as appropriate. When I was growing up, the big question at our house was “What are you wearing?” Not in a shallow way, but in a let’s-have-fun-with-life’s-occasions way. Never underestimate how a fabulous outfit can make life that much more [...]
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!
