How to feel fabulous? Get ahead of the burnout. I’ve gone through my dramatic falls… we all have. We conquer, fail and then rise again. I’m thinking the cycle just goes with this motherhood job description. The movie Bad Moms has inspired me to rise more than I fall now, once and for all. ONCE AND…

How to stay cool at Disneyland. {Frozen – LIVE at the Hyperion}
H0w to stay cool at Disneyland in summer? Yes we did. And yes, you can.

CBS Los Angeles: Bad Mom Kristen Bell helps Alliance of Moms
Who says Bad Moms are no good? Don’t even go there. True, actress and mom-of-2 Kristen Bell isn’t intimidated to callout toddlers as having major potential to be “jerks,” but I’m going to go so far to say that’s just TV hype in the name of having a laugh (WATCH): Yeah, we might love what…

CBS Los Angeles: How to stop yelling at kids?
How to stop yelling at our kids? If you’ve followed me long enough here, you know that I’m prone to yell. Blame my (loud & dramatic) Armenian heritage, blame that my parents & grandparents yelled when I was a kid (conditioning me for it) or blame that maybe I can’t let ingrained habits go. Is…
