Another week, another hot parenting topic turned TV-appearance. It was just another Wednesday when I got a text from one of my old producer buddies at CNN/HLN: “Can you come to Michaela’s show today and talk about the Daddy/Daughter Dance that was cancelled in New York?” (Yes, I’m talking about the incomparable Michaela Pereira —…

FOX11 Los Angeles: Guns at School. Scared Kids. Freaked-Out Parents.
Another school tragedy in the Los Angeles area involved a 12 year old girl, a gun and two seriously injured young teens when that weapon was shot inside a classroom. So…. Fox 11 Los Angeles called me in to have an on-air talk about this, parents to parents. Again, I am aghast at how many…
CBS Los Angeles: Kids, don’t do pot. Parents, pay attention.
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…

So, for my latest FAB…

Is there such a thing as bad parents? In the famous hallway between news studios at CBSLA, I said YES, there are bad parents. (My beautiful and smart colleague, Joy Benedict, said NO. You can watch us bicker about it in said hallway here on my Facebook page… she may’ve called me out as a bully…
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…
CBS Los Angeles: Insta-Moms Making Insta-Money.
What the heck is an InstaMom? A mom who monetizes motherhood. I should know. (I’m doing it myself…) Seven years after starting ‘The FAB Mom,’ I still don’t quite know how to describe my career. I’ve got one foot working in TV, one foot working in the digital influencer world and another foot working in…
