For Father’s Day, go ahead and feed your own addiction with these *fabulously-macho-yet-fun-for-Mommy* gifts that you AND the new Dad in your life can enjoy together.

Father’s Day Find! A fun/funny gift to block out screaming kids… at a discount.
Some dads I know like to revel in a huge celebratory extravaganza to recognize how Father’s Day is their day, but a lot of dads I know just want to be left ALONE. Not in a bad way, but in a “I just want to do things that I never have time to do” or a…
Who knew I’d learn this much from chicken?
The introduction of ‘meats’ to baby has begun.

Thank YOU: The fabulous kindness of strangers.

Saturday Sex Scenes, Sunday Lizards and Monday Lanterns.
It’s been a weird few days. Monday I interviewed Ryan Reynolds for his new movie Green Lantern. Sunday I screamed so loudly that I took the tail off a lizard… literally. Saturday I talked sex scenes with Cameron Diaz (and her ex Justin Timberlake). Eclectic to say the least. I’ll start with Saturday… aka my…
