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…

New Year’s Eve family ideas: The choice is ours.
Call me an amateur. New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday. The mandated sparkly attire, the having-a-party-because-it’s-the-requirement, the tossing out of the old and dreaming up new goals and hopes for the future… the mandatory making out at midnight. How can you not love it? I’ve always L-O-V-E-D New Year’s Eve. Until this past New Year’s…
Holiday Style: 3 flaunting looks for moms & toddlers.
I fear what fashion insiders might have to say about these questionable choices below… But whatever… it was CHRISTMAS. Also known as: My-own-excuse-to-create-the-most-frivolous-fashion-frenziness for my girls. That’s how it works. I’m the Mom. And since I’m blessed with two little girls, I take my responsibility to dress them for fabulous occasions VERY seriously. (No, it’s…
Holiday Cheer: Fake it ’til we make it.
I haven’t wanted to write this week. Like everyone else, I’ve been sad. (Sad is of course a great understatement.)

We’ve all publicly ached in real life and online for those who experienced and are enduring the worst of what the world can bring. Despite I have zero connection…
Toddlers & Tree-Snobs: The fight for holiday traditions.
Hello, my name is Jill. I’m a Christmas Tree-Snob. The first step is admitting you have a problem. Maybe one day I’ll ask for help. But not today. Not this year. Why? Because I believe in fighting the fight for holiday traditions. I realize that Los Angeles is the capital of all-things phony (boobs, hair… and come…
Toddler meltdown with Santa? {VIDEO} Check your kid’s outfit.
It was my toddler’s meltdown of all meltdowns. (I’m the worst cliche, I know.) But I was mostly confused about it: LadyP woke up in a good mood, was excited for our day’s activity (which I had built up so big the night before that she actually wanted to go to bed to wake up…
Forgetting my second baby’s FIRST Thanksgiving. Tell me I’m not alone?
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…
