Fall fashion, you are here! And I’m ready for new shoes. But I won’t sugar-coat it: I hate flats. HATE flats. So much that I’ve been known to wear high heels to toddlers’ birthday parties. (You think I’m kidding? I wish.) I am that idiot you see pushing a double-stroller in platforms. Can’t help it. I’m…

FUN: The most fab way to end lunch with a friend.
This morning I met one of my most fave new friends, fearless and fiesty TV/blogger-mom friend Jill Cordes, with our four (collective) toddlers. We bounced around in a wild and colorful mad-house that only indoor play-places can offer (this one being particularly adorable and dare I say, FUN… despite my usual bleh-pathy for such places). We then…
My My, Miley. From a mom…
My dearest Miley, I’ve been a fan of yours long before I became a mom. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I interviewed you a bunch of times (I even helped nominate you for a 2009 Broadcast Film Critics Award for Best Song from “Bolt”). I remember those days: you were happy-go-lucky, fun,…

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY! Baby Orajel Naturals & $50 Target gift card.
To think that I am TWO molars away from being DONE with teething is exciting. More exciting than the pre-baby me would’ve ever thought possible. TWO TEETH. (Can ya see which ones I’m waiting for? On the bottom.) And after these two chicklets come in: no more middle-of-the-night wake ups, no more cranky fits out…
Pools & Potty Training: Stop while you’re ahead.
Keeping life fab after babies requires rules (at least that’s what’s working for me). Some rules have been passed down (from my own mom’s experience and wisdom) and some rules are wacky-but-wise concepts that I’ve personally invented from my own trials-and-errors. Don’t leave the house without sippy-cups filled with water. Don’t take the girls to…
FIND: “Cosie’s Closet” children’s book! (Published by a Bachelorette contestant? Yup.)
And here you thought ABC’s “The Bachelorette” was all finished for now… What does the show have to do with valuable life lessons and children’s stories, you ask? MORE THAN YOU’D THINK. Zack Kalter, the guy famous for winning the dodgeball date at Americana at Brand and rocking Chuck Taylors with his suit on this recent season…
