I try not to forget important things on holidays, but sometimes things fall through the cracks… especially now since I have a second baby to contend with. So, I’m passing this on to you. It’s a simple notion, but if my own vain ego forgot to do it this past holiday, maybe normal people will…

FabTip: Bust out the fancy plates.
Thanksgiving Week! Last year this time my mind was selfishly on turkey and totally-fab tablescapes. This year? We’re going to my mom’s house to eat the bird. Which means: My fancy plates are confined to their storage cabinet. (Sad face here.) But wait! Who says that fancy plates should be confined to holidays only… So…
Halloween Tricks? Got ’em.
October 31. Here. Almost done. Phew. At least there’s candy… and many lessons taught and learned.

Do it for our country.
Our tips for a fab Fourth? Get equipped with proper uniforms. Make sure it fits right. Accessorize as appropriate. When I was growing up, the big question at our house was “What are you wearing?” Not in a shallow way, but in a let’s-have-fun-with-life’s-occasions way. Never underestimate how a fabulous outfit can make life that much more…
Being a good mom is…
This weekend I got to re-live my pregnant days (as if they were so far away). Honored to be one of the ‘official’ bloggers of Pregnancy Awareness Month, I attended the huuuuuge kickoff event here in LA (I still can’t believe my belly missed it by a matter of weeks). If you were there, you…
