This morning I met one of my most fave new friends, fearless and fiesty TV/blogger-mom friend Jill Cordes, with our four (collective) toddlers. We bounced around in a wild and colorful mad-house that only indoor play-places can offer (this one being particularly adorable and dare I say, FUN… despite my usual bleh-pathy for such places). We then…

My My, Miley. From a mom…
My dearest Miley, I’ve been a fan of yours long before I became a mom. I’m not sure if you remember me, but I interviewed you a bunch of times (I even helped nominate you for a 2009 Broadcast Film Critics Award for Best Song from “Bolt”). I remember those days: you were happy-go-lucky, fun,…
FACETIME: How to fake a fab manicure. {VIDEO}
I don’t have time for manicures, but I do have time for this. And I do it while I work. May I present: How to fake a fab manicure. My own little self-invented secret. No more polish remover, no more spending time on things you don’t have time for. ENJOY! (Just don’t look too close.) WHAT’S YOUR…
REVIEW & GIVEAWAY! Baby Orajel Naturals & $50 Target gift card.
To think that I am TWO molars away from being DONE with teething is exciting. More exciting than the pre-baby me would’ve ever thought possible. TWO TEETH. (Can ya see which ones I’m waiting for?

Some rules have been passed down (from my own mom’s experience and wisdom) and some rules are wacky-but-wise concepts that I’ve personally invented from my own trials-and-errors. Don’t leave the house without sippy-cups filled with water. Don’t take the girls to…
FIND: “Cosie’s Closet” children’s book! (Published by a Bachelorette contestant? Yup.)
And here you thought ABC’s “The Bachelorette” was all finished for now… What does the show have to do with valuable life lessons and children’s stories, you ask? MORE THAN YOU’D THINK. Zack Kalter, the guy famous for winning the dodgeball date at Americana at Brand and rocking Chuck Taylors with his suit on this recent season…
Toddler Discipline: The fabulous phrase my girls fall for.
All clever moms lie to their children… especially to toddlers. (I do…. I’m pretty sure Scary Mommy still does when she can get away with it.) This chocolate isn’t what you think it is, it’s really mommy’s medicine and tastes really yucky. This iced tea is also very very yucky. The Guy’s gonna come and shut down the…
