FOCUS. It’s almost an oxymoron when you’re a mom… yet I still pursue it every day. And now that I’m back to working regularly, I seek it even more. Re-entering the workforce after being home for a few years (or more than a few years) isn’t easy. It takes FOCUS. A few weeks ago I…

FLICKS: Vince Vaughn’s “Delivery Man” movie trailer debut!
For those of you who really know me, you know that I spent a good two years hosting a movie trailer show called “The Big Tease” on ReelzChannel (circa 2007-09, aka “before babies”). Back then, I saw every movie, every trailer, interviewed every celebrity… I LOVED IT. I’d been a lifelong celebrity-and-movie-junkie and I was…
Motivation? Because moms need dreams.
I think I hit that metaphorical brick wall today. You know, that thing we all slam into every now and then when we’ve spun around in circles enough times to lose our orientation. BAM! It happened to me. I could barely keep my eyes open after lunch and put both my girls down for a…
FOCUSED. My babies are raising me well.
Three years ago this upcoming August (ya follow me?), my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary with my big, unexpected 8-month baby bump. We stayed a weekend at the to-die-for Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, complete with an incredible romantic dinner, spectacular beach, heavenly bed and one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced… and…
FACETIME. What to do when you’re working a red carpet & your babysitter flakes.
Ok, so I actually had TWO babysitters booked for my big Critic’s Choice Movie Awards red carpet workday… one sitter for the morning (so I could shower, wash my hair, fake-tan my arms and do some mental prep in peace) and one sitter for the afternoon/evening (for when I was actually working). That’s what you…
Perspective: A Mom & Maury Povich. (Who knew?)
Guess what girls? Mommy’s gonna be on one of the most-watched television shows in the country! Crickets. Blank stares. General ignoring. I recently appeared as a mom-correspondent to expose nasty, hidden germs in kid-friendly places for The Maury Show’s ‘Hidden Dangers Caught on Tape’ special, but who cares about the drama of hidden germs when…
T-Mobile made me do it: A day at work & a big little fib. But now I’m telling the truth.
So what if we all lied? Big whoop. You gotta do what you gotta do. When T-Mobile gives me their new MyTouch smartphone to use on a busy day of errands, I do it happily (the little sucker was pretty cool, telling me where and how to go where I needed to be… not to…
