The Best Job I've Ever Had
I remember the moment quite vividly that Lily looked like a kid to me, rather than a little girl. It was heartbreaking and exciting at once. My Benji seems to be approaching that line rapidly. He’s getting to be so strong willed and independent and I’m just not ready for him to grow up so [...]

1. It’s really fun to get away without the kids once in a while.
2. There’s nothing like meeting Uma Thurman to jump start a diet.
3. Celebrities do not like talking abut their personal lives.
4. New York blocks are endless, especially when you accidentally walk around in circles.
5. Minnie Driver is crazy gorgeous in person. Crazy. [...]

I have often wondered why there are so few realistic movies on the experience of motherhood. The two I can recall portraying it successfully are Parenthood and Baby Boom, and both of those are 20 years old {How ancient does that make you feel?!} Why aren’t there movies on the topic? It’s certainly entertaining enough, [...]

The pumpkins have been picked. The house has been decorated. The costumes have been purchased.
Some of us are happier about it than others…
I, for one, cannot wait.

What do you do? It’s a question asked of me at least five or six times a week. It’s small talk, I know, and an easy conversation starter at the playground. People just don’t seem to know the inner turmoil it causes in me.
My answer to that deep, dark query is usually, I’m at home [...]

Since last year, every birthday boy or girl we’ve celebrated with received either an Arts & Crafts Bucket or Bath Time Bucket. I love making them, but they’ve now made the party circuit and I wanted to come up with a new staple gift that’s economical, unique and fun…I present you with my Little Chef [...]

When you’re pregnant, people are filled with unsolicited advice for you: What you should eat. What you shouldn’t eat. How to sleep, how to exercise, how to tell what gender the baby is, how to do everything. And it doesn’t stop once the baby arrives. People love to offer their two cents, but I don’t [...]

It’s so easy to judge mothers before you are one. So easy to roll your eyes at children misbehaving at the mall. Question why parents would bring an obviously overtired child out to dinner on a Saturday night. Snicker at a horribly mismatched ensemble that some two year old is sporting. Judge the three year [...]
