Fight. Kids do it. Parents do it. Moms do it. Every day, we fight for our needs, our wants, to be heard. Lately I feel like I’ve been fighting and fighting and fighting (ridiculous reasons for recent frustration here). Include this in the ‘fail’ portion of this Fab-Mom program. Let’s start from this tale’s beginning: Recently…

FOCUSED. The big birthday bomb-out.
My birthday was a week ago, but this year it didn’t happen. The birthday number itself was fairly significant (pushing me over a threshold that’s closer to another future number that’s even bigger) but it was uneventful, uncomfortable and a little soggy and sad. On a day (week, actually) that I thought I’d be celebrating…
FACETIME. Car Confession: The TV wardrobe. {video}
Time for another Car Confession. I think the last one might’ve been too much TMI, but whatever. We’ve all done it. This confession is all about my TV wardrobe. My recent segment showcasing fun ideas for a family Superbowl bash on Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” was wild with football-throwing, face-painting frills, trivia-take-downs and hits…
FAIL: Car Confessions. The Mom Shirt. {video}
I don’t doubt that other mothers have committed this most disgusting sin. I’m just confessing in my car it for all to see. After all, my car is the only place where I get alone-time these days… alone with my thoughts, giggles and fails of mommyhood. Might as well confess ’em. WATCH: WHAT’S YOUR BIG…
FAILS. The big Christmas tree foul-up.
Merry everything! Tis the season for fa-la-la-la-la and fabulous fails that you must figure out how to fix. As you know, I’m a declared tree snob. Always have been, always will be (with any hope). But this year’s tree-experience put me to the test. Talk about a festive fail. I came this close to abandoning my…
Pools & Potty Training: Stop while you’re ahead.
Keeping life fab after babies requires rules (at least that’s what’s working for me). 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…
FACETIME! Hollywood & hot food on the floor. {VIDEO}
Just because I’m halfway-in this Hollywood/celebrity/Mommywood world doesn’t mean that I don’t get down and dirty with the best of them. Between work, events and trying to keep all-things-fab… I probably spend more time on my floor than I should. But hey, that’s the way we roll these days. So when I was recently invited…
