You’ve asked about experience, you’ve asked about CPR training, you’ve asked how she handles tantrums involving stuffed animals being wrongfully put inside the dollhouse… but have you asked: If she folds clothes in a way that rivals the very best retail floor manager in all the land? If she ever finds herself spontaneously organizing PREVIOUSLY disheveled (embarrassingly messy) food…

Moms at Work: How Justin Timberlake made me cope.
Moms at work can sometimes mean… drama. Some people live day by day. I live hour by hour (and I will argue it’s better). You might want to try it too. I’m just recovering from my Saturday: it was schizophrenic… highs, lows and wild moments of in-between. The skill of ‘staying in the moment’ is…
Fab Tip: Go the F**k to Sleep. That’s right, YOU.
Author Adam Mansbach’s book may be directed at the restless munchkins in our lives, but I’m taking it personally.

How I Scared Brooke Burke & How she Returned the Favor.

In 3 completely unrelated work experiences, I buddied up with Soleil Moon Frye (the gal formerly known as Punky Brewster) for Her Say, interviewed Julia Roberts, and possibly made an a$$ out of myself in front of Brooke Burke. Even though I’m…
Thank YOU: The fabulous kindness of strangers.
Fabulousness can happen when all sorts of nice people do good little things that add up to make yourself feel more together than you actually are. Moments of kindness are priceless… especially for new moms. I know. (I’m thinking you know too.) Here’s a friendly, frank reminder about how even the smallest moments of kindness…
New Mom Beauty: Take your baby to a pedicure.
What did you do in the name of new mom beauty? Ever thought of taking your baby to get a pedicure… I mean, take her along to to get a pedicure for yourself. My big experiment today (about 30 minutes prior to writing this post) was to see if LadyP could handle sitting on my lap for…
