Parenting. It can be a real piece of work these days. Don’t do this, don’t watch that, princesses are ‘evil.’ For some reason, this lifelong fan of Snow White found myself turning against princesses once I became a mom. Peer pressure?

Parenting: Are strong girls really a good thing?
To say that I come from a family of strong women is an understatement. As a child, I remember my own mom ranting about how liberated she felt when she turned 40 (while igniting fearless confrontations of standing up for values she believed in). Both of my grandmothers are strong-willed with the things they say and…
Baby Bikinis: The truth about why we should use them.
Babies and bikinis… is this still controversial? When LadyP was an infant, I seriously bought a whole slew of bikinis for her little pudgy body to sport throughout her first summer and then I found out (suspense music here, dun dun dun dun) that it can be considered “offensive” to some to put little girls…

FILOSOPHY. Fashion shows: Frivolous or Fab? {VIDEO}
I’ve had lots of realizations on runways. Last week, I had more. I went to no less than two fashion shows in one week. TWO. Celebrity stylist Anya Sarre hosted LA’s Style Fashion Week’s Go Red for Women Celebrity Red Dress show (to raise awareness, funds and remind us all about heart-health), at which I…
FOCUSED. Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family”: The fab stuff you didn’t see.
Did ya happen to catch Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family” morning show today? Yup, I was on it… talking about what I now sometimes talk about these days on TV: baby stuff, infant safety, and new-mom-things-you-all-need-to-know.. And all while taping I kept thinking: A year ago (exactly… like, to the minute almost), I was naked,…
