Like, a super sweet suite box: Thanks to Jen and Barb of Mom Life for the invite. It’s rad when fellow working Moms recognize each other and treat each other to nice things. I really can’t thank Jen and Barb enough for this much needed break. But first, before spending an evening in a fancy-ass box at Staples Center drinking wine… Read more →

You Can Fly! You Can Fly!
Don’t judge me. And if you like helping babies, click HERE to help me win a donation of $5,000 to the Getty Owl Foundation. All it takes is a “like.” Here’s the thing: I know it’s annoying when sites force you to post to your Facebook wall to vote, but honestly? No one is going to unfriend you on… Read more →
The Elephant on the Blog
I’ve hesitated to write this post for like…ever. Mostly because I know that a lot of people are really sensitive about weight and weight loss as a topic in general, and with my penchant for self-deprecation of the fiercest nature, I’m sure to say something nasty about my own self and mortally offend someone else in the process. And I… Read more →
REI, Beach Cabanas, and NOT Glamping.
Me and Dee – August 2010 So when REI and BlogHer offered me the opportunity to go on a mini REI shopping spree in preparation for our family’s beach camp-out at the end of the summer, I jumped at the chance. The closest one is in the town of my youth (where my parents still live) so you know I… Read more →
Two Degrees.
I got this in the mail this week: And I was pretty floored. A meal bar for me = a meal for the hungry? Dee and I busted open both the Bars (delicious, addictive, amazing) and the nutrition pack that Two Degrees so wisely sent…because you know I wanted to know what kind of nutrition my shopping at Whole Foods… Read more →
Get Outta My Head + Onto My Blog.

I think Dee & I are in a Fight.
She refuses to acknowledge my presence in this photograph. Elmo? Cookie? Abby? No prob. Mommy? Who the ef is that b*tch? And all because I met her obsession Elmo AND my obsession Kevin Clash all in one sitting. Not to mention the ray of sunshine that is Leslie Carrara (aka Abby Cadabby, Dee’s absolute girl crush, and now mine too)… Read more →
It’s good to be home in our tiny corner of The Valley.
I missed Dee George something FIERCE while I was away this past week. Felt a bit like my heart had been ripped out. Even if only temporarily. We’re spending a lot of time in the yard now that we’re all three reunited. Well, that, and thanks to the kind folks at New Grass, our lawn is now dirt-free. Making our… Read more →
What’s in the Bag?! (A Hint, it’s Swag.)
