What’s your dream?

As I wrote the title of this post, a scene from the movie Pretty Woman popped into my head: “Welcome to Hollywood! What’s your dream? Everybody comes here; this is Hollywood, land of dreams.” Those words have stuck with me over the years (please don’t judge my addiction to pop culture) and at random times, [...]

It’s game on, people

2006

Even though many of my posts are about my life with kids, I don’t necessarily consider myself a mommy blogger. Yes, I’m a mom. And yes, I blog. So what’s the difference?

Nothing says Happy New Year like gift cards to the spa

Stress Less

How’s that for a New Year’s Resolution? It’s easy to keep a goal like this when you’re lying face down on the massage table getting a 90 minute prenatal massage. Lalalalalalala! (That’s my pretend opera voice singing the sound of heaven). When you’ve spent the past eight months lying on your left side and then [...]

It’s the end of the road for us, my friend

So long Hyundai

You are such a big part of my life, I wrote about you in my book. We like the same kind of music. You knew me pre-kids. In the days of my television career, you never complained when I woke you up in the middle of the night and made you take me to work. [...]
