Growing up, my mom would sometimes tell my sister and I to not wear certain brand new tops/dresses/outfits and to “save” them for a special occasion or party (probably because we were kids and she knew we’d ruin said items with BBQ sauce or something). Well, it’s “later” and I’m so over “saving” new clothes…

How you can say cheese like Kevin Bacon.
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…
Guilt is a wasted emotion.
Today, on The Today Show, there was a segment all about Mommy-guilt: Why we often feel guilty and how to cope with it effectively. My mom used to say (and still does) “Guilt is a wasted emotion.” Get tough and get over yourself. I know that I DO have a lot of lessons to learn,…

New Mom Fail! My Big Fess-up… and f*ck-up.
Ladies and gents, we’ve had a new mom fail. Big time. No getting around this one, so I’ll just blurt it out: LadyP rolled off the bed a few days ago. She’s perfectly fine (luckily), but I am NOT. The more I hear myself say “I took my hands off her for ONE SECOND,” the…
Fab-Find: Baby’s Got Back? Use It.
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…
