Yes, you read that right. Last year this time I think I may have still been drugged up (picture directly left is evidence). Last year this time I kept thinking that I came this close to eating a worm in an effort to evict LadyP from my body just a few days earlier. Last year this…

The big milestone I missed… should I mind?
I missed it. Missed it. Gone. Actually, Hubby and I BOTH missed it. Cue the mom guilt? Turns out, I’m genuinely ok with it, and I’m guessing he is too (simply because he hasn’t been whining about it). I’m talking about WALKING. Yup, FIRST STEPS. We missed it. We missed her first steps. I was in New…
Why I wanted my Mommy.
Yesterday was a good day. A fun day. A learning day. A goal-accomplishing day. And yes, I wanted my mommy. Not because I was scared, intimidated or uncertain. Quite the opposite. I was H-A-P-P-Y. Yippeeee!!! I was lucky enough to guest co-host for HLN’s Showbiz Tonight (as you may have seen) and I almost couldn’t…
In NYC on the 10th anniversary of 9/11: What will I tell her?
I will tell her how the usual buzzing energy of my favorite city was different on this particular day, 9/11/11. I will tell her that I was sent here as the second part of a work assignment that pushes me closer and closer to a dream job. I will tell her how frightened I was…

OK, I barely even wanted a baby shower at all (but then again, my baby was an oopsie-daisy surprise, so it took me about 8 full months before I gave in to the fact that I was even having a baby at all). Now that I’m a mom I’m realizing that baby showers are a…
Why I was scared to be alone with Hubby, and why I now question if I have a soul.
Toronto: It was our first trip together sans baby. I was totally excited and totally weirded out. What the HELL were Hubby and I going to talk about for 4 days all by our lonesome on our happy-anniversary-to-us trip? I packed flirty dresses, high heels, lingerie… but would I know what to do with them?…
Motivation: Do you mother yourself?
Something very, very BIG happened to me this week… much bigger than what I thought my career would’ve presented me with just 10 months after having my first baby. Of course I’m not allowed to talk details about it, but I’ve been walking on air with a wee bit of disbelief about the sequence of events…
