A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
Those of you who know me know that I had a love affair with ruffled underwear after LadyP was born (which I wrote about on ModernMom). But why should us mommies have all the fun? Treat your little girl to ruffled OUTER-wear this Valentine’s Day. I heart Valentine’s Day. Always have. Maybe it’s because my mom [...]
Most frequently asked question to me every time I go somewhere these days: What are you having? A baby. I tell them with a smiling, snotty look on my face. Then they look confused. “I’m waiting to find out until delivery.” More confusion. I shouldn’t be so defensive about their friendly inquiries. Afterall, most of [...]
Yup, it’s true. I cheated on Hubby. And I did it with Taylor Lautner, chips and salsa, my own mom and his own 2 brothers… not in that order. What else am I supposed to do when he’s out of town? While Hubby’s been in South America the last week as a surgeon for Operation [...]
OK, I barely even wanted a baby shower at all (but then again, my baby was an oopsie-daisy surprise, so it took me about 8 full months before I gave in to the fact that I was even having a baby at all). Now that I’m a mom I’m realizing that baby showers are a [...]
This weekend was a blast, as a bunch of fab friends celebrated our soon-to-be NEW fab mom and her incubating little girl. (And oh… did we teach this little girl how to FLIRT.) Here’s a decorating idea to add a bit of flutter to your table centerpieces the next time you throw a baby shower: [...]

These petite little treats are made especially for those of us who can’t get enough of the ooey-gooey (meaning, me… and some of my close friends). Wrap ‘em with [...]

Yes, I’m new to this mommy-thing, but I’m not new to pining over luxurious products. My latest lust-worthy subject is PLUSH. Described on their site as “the posh little urbanites show” for new and expecting parents, I was skeptical. (Afterall, I was that shellshocked pregnant chick a year ago that used to scoff at events [...]
Last night I hit up an event in honor of Bump Month thanks to SavvySassyMoms. (Yes, she IS savvy+sassy in person!) And the event was too… especially since it was a benefit for Help A Mother Out, a fantastic non-profit that provides diapers to mommies and babies in need. Besides giving back to the mommy [...]
According to Urban Dictionary, “Fresita” is a name that Mexicans tend to use when describing girls that are ‘hard to get with’, usually pretty and always get what they want. As in, “Yo, check dat fresita… She hard to hit.” (Can any of my Latino friends verify?) However: MY Fresita is actually easy to hit. May I [...]
Listen up fools. Exploiting your butt can be a good thing. It’s an instant mood-booster…. especially if you have a baby girl (like me). Hell, use a thong (ha!). Butts are cute, butts can wiggle, and they can even make you giggle if you utilize them for big fashion statements. These Bunch O’ Bloomers by [...]
Today is my last-ditch organization day before I succumb to Baby’s arrival. All laundry has been washed & put away, all dishes have been cleaned, all food has been cooked, and all floors have been mopped. My apartment has never looked better. And, there are 3 “Do’s” I’d like to pass along to YOU (expecting-mommies [...]
Many moms-to-be (including myself) fixate on their baby’s gender early on in the pregnancy. They desperately “pray for a girl” or are “dying for it to be a boy.” I’ve even heard of some expecting moms getting mildly depressed after they find out the sex and it’s not what they wanted it to be. If you’re [...]
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!
