A mom blog by TV host & new mommy Jill Simonian.
I put it off for as long as I could, and then I broke down: What am I doing with all these barely-used and too-small baby clothes still in my girls’ closet? Time to cleanse… time to GIVE. ‘Tis the season. Last weekend, I purged most everything that either of my girls won’t ever fit [...]
Yeah. Moms are smart. And cool. And fun. And know how to create products that will work for our families, give us a giggle AND often give back to our communities all at the same time. If you caught my recent show-and-tell on Los Angeles’ KTLA-5′s Weekend Morning News, you know what I’m talkin’ about. Check [...]
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 [...]
I love it I love it! Yes I do! I do! I do! And, it’s not just because I got wear a gorge Jordann Jewelry necklace for co-hosting Her Say this week or because Kourtney Kardashian or Katherine Heigl have been seen sporting JJ designs too. It’s simple: I like Jordann because it’s pretty and nice [...]
Fabulousness can happen when all sorts of nice people do good little things that add up to make yourself feel more together than you actually are. Thank you, SALESGIRL, for giving me the large dressing room with the carpet so that a newly-mobile little girl could stretch her crawling legs while Mommy shopped for work clothes. [...]

DRUMROLL PLEASE! The winner of TheFabMom’s free tickets to the fabulous *PLUSH* event for posh parents and their little urbanites is ……….. RITA W! (You know who you are, girl! You got an email from me earlier this morning… Didn’t wanna publish your last name without permission.) CONGRATULATIONS! Please stop me and say hi if you [...]
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 [...]
I’ll get to Bacon in a second… first, let’s talk about cheese. A recent gig of mine had me saying cheese across the country with 5 inspiring women who make their communities BETTER…. or, shall I say, FABULOUS, in their very own way. Some plant herbs. Some make lunches. Some play with makeup. Watch the [...]
Anyone relate? I think I might need to read that bestselling book again. During a shoot today, a big humongous metaphor crashed down on me like a laughing cow jumping over the moon. Make that a laughing cow – carrying a load of cheese - jumping over the moon. Seriously. I’ve been galavanting with the good people from [...]
Surely, other moms have felt my pain? I cried and cried. The tears kept welling up and falling down my face. My husband now is certain that he married a head-case beyond rehabilitation. Nobody tells you that when you have a baby, you might have trouble coping with giving back your first baby. And I [...]
Should you bank your baby’s umbilical cord blood when he/she is born? Many expecting parents seek to preserve precious stem cells should the child need them later in life. It’s a hot topic with my friends these days, so my doctor-husband looked up some recent studies in medical journals to get some undiluted details about this [...]
Did you know, the difference between this: and this: is about 1 hour and $240? Or, if you break it down, $20/month for 1 year. It’s true…. that’s IT. I realize that my hormones make me extra-emotional these days, but this subject matter broke my heart before the whole pregnant thing happened. More than 200,000 [...]
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!
