What’s the trick to losing baby weight? DON’T GAIN IT. I’m not evil or mentally ill, but I am honest. Last week, Mommywood spectators were marveling at (and hating) how supermodel Miranda Kerr’s body has bounced right back to it’s sexy shape just 4 months after having a baby. Rachel Zoe is not-so-shockingly skinny again…

Guilt is a wasted emotion.
Today, on The Today Show, there was a segment all about Mommy-guilt: Why we often feel guilty and how to cope with it effectively. My mom used to say (and still does) “Guilt is a wasted emotion.” Get tough and get over yourself. I know that I DO have a lot of lessons to learn,…
Why you should raise a vain baby.
“Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” I guess my childhood obsession (Snow White) goes deeper than I thought.

Adam also attested that the former Friends star would be much “stricter” than him…
Sexy mom or slutty mom?
Despite my hubby’s protest about the title of this entry, I wonder if I’m walking a fine line of sexy/slutty lately. Check out this picture that my sister texted me of a storefront window… Upon seeing it, I squealed with delight and thought it was a fun and brazen display of the ‘new, sexy mom’…
New Mom Valentine’s Day: Like an EMPTY box of chocolates?
Am I the only new mom who got her butt kicked by Valentine’s Day? In my before-baby life, I thought of this holiday-of-love as an added excuse to be playfully naughty+nice with my Hubby. Yesterday yielded no such results. The box of chocolates was empty (mostly because I ate them all, but whatever.) Welcome to…
