New year, new laws. Unfortunately, the law that everyone’s been talking about (that is estimated to spawn about 400 recreational marijuana retails in Los Angeles alone) is the legalization of pot. If you know me, you already know how I feel about this. Here are some hints: Stupid. Irresponsible. Totally not good. (If that offends…

CBS Los Angeles: No, I’m not the Grinch. (But kids might think so.)
I’ve been known to joke about how much I hate Christmas… but I ain’t no Grinch. Promise. I am, however, a mom who’s hell-bent on keeping things in perspective and grounded in reality without losing any of the fun. More is not always better. Especially at Christmas. (Call me Scrooge.)

CBS Los Angeles: The touchy parenting topic that won’t go away.
Nothing says Merry Christmas like the words Sexual Harassment. Yup. That’s what I’ve been talking about SO MUCH lately on the news. Who’s talked about it with their kids yet? All of us? Some of us? It’s insane, right?! Every. Time. We. Turn. On. The. News. MORE RECKONINGS FOR SEVERE SEXUAL HARASSMENT. How — and…
My FAB Mom.
I now return to the world after a most intense month of blindsided uncertainty and thousands of tears (tears that are still running). My fabulous, fun, frank, fierce force and absolute best friend of a mom (the original ‘FAB Mom’) passed away after a 7 year fight against illness. The past month, I’ve been caught in…
