I’m a big proponent for thinking ahead, stopping while you’re ahead and preparing for things you don’t know you’ll need until you hit a spot when you need them (like keeping that bag of potato chips for 2 weeks in my trunk for no good reason… until my car battery died last week and those…

FUN: The most fab way to end lunch with a friend.
This morning I met one of my most fave new friends, fearless and fiesty TV/blogger-mom friend Jill Cordes, with our four (collective) toddlers. We bounced around in a wild and colorful mad-house that only indoor play-places can offer (this one being particularly adorable and dare I say, FUN… despite my usual bleh-pathy for such places).

FUN! Brainwashing by Mom: Brunch, bowls & booze.

I remember being about twelve, in our family kitchen stringing cheese onto a round crystal platter for our annual Christmas-Eve-slash-my-sister’s-birthday-party (at our house) and my mom telling me to “make it pretty.” The most surprising thing was that,…
