As seen on TV, folks! (And now also in my book for first time pregnancy… The FAB Mom’s Guide: How to Get Over the Bump & Bounce Back Fast After Baby.) Let’s just get this outta the way quick: I spent the day with THE LaToya Jackson on account of my responsibility to inform YOU…

FOOD: Ladybugs, spiders, and winning $100,000 from Lance Snacks! {video}
I LOVE PARTIES!!!!! This isn’t news people. (My husband is so sick of hearing this phrase come out of my mouth. The amount of exclamation points particularly jolts him, I think.) For LilMiss’ recent first birthday, we went all-out with a Lucky Duck Luau theme (did ya see my centerpieces?). And if you go back…
Mom Guilt: A Wasted Emotion.
Guilt is a wasted emotion. I thank my own mom, my best friend to this day, for teaching me this early on in life. Guilt wastes time. Guilt wastes energy. Guilt wastes your youth away. Guilt will NOT make you a good mother… it will only distract you, push you down, question your own confidence…
FAMOUS. Actress Traci Lords gives good… parenting advice? Yup.

I…

FIND! BECO Baby Carrier: All-new Soleil. {video}
I’m won’t lie: I’ve never been a baby-wearing mama. Some might say I once had a vendetta against it (for no good reason, I just don’t like the idea of feeling pregnant all over again after the baby is out). I’ve gotten major smack from my baby-carrying friends. But let’s let bygones be bygones. Two…
FUN+FACETIME. Celebrate little things with little people.
Recently I had a fabulous chat on Huffington Post Live with a bunch of cool moms. Led by the equally intelligent and adorable Nancy Redd, we all talked about whether we thought small “holidays” are too amped up these days (i.e.: Do we really need to commemorate Pi Day, etc?). Does recognizing every teeny weeny…
