The word ‘mom’ basically means the exact same as the phrase ‘multi-task.’ So why not offer multitasking tips for motivated moms? And oh! Guess what: Turns out that moms multi-task SO MUCH, we need 20-30 more minutes of sleep each night in order to give our brains adequate time to repair itself. That’s right, our multi-tasking…

CBS Los Angeles: Do dads do dishes? {VIDEO}
Maybe Mother’s Day got the best of me… My latest segment on CBS Los Angeles was about offering sneaky tips in the name of encouraging spouses to help more around the house. You know, so we all don’t burn out as women. (Too late?) Was this inspired by Mother’s Day? An overextended me? Maybe and maybe….
CBS Los Angeles: Go away guilt!
Guilt, guilt, go away. Come again… NEVER. Yeah, I’ve written about this all-encompassing wasted emotion before. (Still feel the same way.)

I had 28 hours of it within a 48-hour period. Almost a full day of the most important S-word that every woman needs now and again. It was hot. I was delirious. I’ve been walking around with a goofy grin on my face all day… because I got some. I got some big time. SLEEP. Yes….
The Fabulous Snowball Effect. (Or, the ‘I Hate Christmas Cookies’ cookies.)
When I was a kid, my mom would laugh and say “I hate Christmas” (like, pretty much every year). This is a woman who plays the organ at church (every Sunday), would throw huge Christmas Eve parties for family and friends (my sister’s birthday is Christmas Eve), bake Christmas cookies and decorate her house with a ton…
