I was right! I was right I was right I was right. (See, husband?) Cyber security for families is nothing to laugh at… because that little Furby can breach our privacy. This week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center put out a public service announcement urging parents to “consider cyber security” before…

CBS Los Angeles: A mental health day well spent.
We all need a mental health day here and there — even if we don’t have any medically-diagnosed issues with our mental health. The old-school, tough-it-out side of me calls B.S. on this, but the modern mom side of me (working/mom-ing/thinking/cleaning/planning/doing) says hell yes. Am I turning soft?

Moms & Careers: We lose HOW MUCH money?!
Have you punched in your numbers yet? I did. I won’t lie: It was a bit depressing. As someone who personally believes in the long-term family value of taking my career down a notch while my kids are small (so I can be home more, with them) I was shocked to discover the “lifetime earnings…
CBS Los Angeles: Raise boys to be great dads. HOW?!
How to raise a boy? Hell if I know, but I’ve got some ideas… As you know, I’m a mom of girls. Girl mom here. Lady power. Wonder women. I know what makes a good husband and dad, but I thought it’d be more interesting to ask LA-local moms about raising boys and what qualities…
