Kate Middleton. Kim Kardashian. Jessica Simpson. We contrast and compare… BUT WHY DO WE CARE? I recently chatted about ‘Kim vs Kate’ pregancies (both women due in July) on HLN’s “Showbiz Tonight,” and on my drive home from the CNN studios I really started thinking about this. WHY do we care so much about celebrity…

Oscars, Stay at Home Moms & Jennifer Garner…
Dear Jennifer Garner, Not sure if you remember me (probably not), but I interviewed you several years ago for a movie called Catch and Release. And then again for The Kingdom. Those were my ‘good old days’ of working and working and working and working. Now I’m in the (mostly) Stay at Home Moms Club….
FUN. How to throw a baby Oscar party.
Miss my Oscars on account of having babies to take care of? NO. WAY. Just because I’ve now got my eyes on two little girls under the age of 2, I’m not going to sacrifice the movies’ biggest night.

Fabulous birthday party ideas for girls!

Because, recently, I DID “go the bleep to sleep” myself. At 8pm, exactly. And I didn’t wake up until 7:45am the next morning. That’s like,…
FILOSOPHY. Because I love ME.
And if I may be bossy, you’d better love you, too. I mean really, truly, LOVE. None of this fake-like “I think I’m doing an okay job” stuff will do for us moms…. oh no. No no no. Because if the Mom of the house doesn’t figure out a way to LOVE herself and realize…
FACETIME. Just stay in the car. {VIDEO}
We’ve all been there… driving around town, running errands, getting things done while our babies sleep in their carseats. Fab. But what’s not so fab? When your baby doesn’t transfer from carseat to crib very nicely (like my 11 month old LilMiss). Two year old LadyP is cool with the whole pick-me-up-and-move-me thing, but for…
