Change. Life. Oscars. “I blinked and then here I am!” she said. Right there onscreen. I hear you woman. I kinda feel the same way. My heart swelled when legendary actress Julie Andrews spoke those words onstage at the 2015 Academy Awards, talking about the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music… right after Lady Gaga…

Celebrity Moms & Daughters: Who’s the star?
Celebrity moms. Such a fascinating breed, no? Almost more fascinating (to me) than celebrity kids. Give a shout if Carrie Fisher’s comical SAG Awards tribute to present her mom Debbie Reynolds with the 2015 Screen Actors Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award made you feel a little bit conflicted. Or if it made you question choices. Or if it…
Fourth of July: The Ongoing Firework Project.
Fourth of July fireworks are always wham-bam woo-hoos for me — yes, I’m obsessed with the festivities for our nation’s birthday. Don’t ask.

FAMOUS! Jenni Pulos, ‘Grin and Bear It’
You all know how much I heart famous moms. Can’t help it. It’s my entertainment-journalist-meets-new-mom life. Showbiz is rough business and motherhood is a no-glam gig.

My recent segment showcasing fun ideas for a family Superbowl bash on Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” was wild with football-throwing, face-painting frills, trivia-take-downs and hits…
When mom duty calls on a red carpet. {VIDEO}
The work life balance thing can be tough. Weird, sometimes… especially if you’re on a red carpet and memories come crashing down. Recently I was back at the Critics Choice Movie Awards. Not as an attendee (like years past), not as a red carpet host (like years past)…. but this time as a MENTOR and ‘mom’…
FACETIME. Lollipop toddlers & working moms. {VIDEO}
Thanks to legendary beauty reporter (and mom) Kym Douglas, a recent segment on Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” had the guts crazy absolutely risky fabulous idea to use a few of us regular personalities’ real-life toddlers on-camera. With us. Modeling Christmastime PJs. Shooting right during our regular naptime. IT TURNED INTO WHAT MAY BE THE BEST…
