YES!!!!!! THE MOTHER COMPANY DOES IT AGAIN!!!! From the Mama minds behind Ruby’s Studio (The Feelings Show, The Friendship Show), here comes another gem: The Safety Show! It comes at a perfect time for us, just when I’m obsessively worrying about how to talk to Delilah about the scary stuff without scarring her. Leave it to The Mother Company to come… Read more →

Naked Athletes!!!
Beach Volleyball phenom Kerri Walsh Jennings was one of eight athletes to grace the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue this week — having been photographed both while pregnant, and months later with her newborn daughter Scout. I am a huge fan of the Body Issue every year, because naked athletes are a sight worth seeing. Not just… Read more →
Attack Of The Sugar Zombie
So, remember how I told you that I went to New York and did that commercial for Happy Family Organic Superfoods? Well, here it is, and it is pretty awesome/ really embarrassing. I had a really good time making this, and I hope you guys will give it a watch. Also, I hope you guys will take the time to click… Read more →
A Damn Miracle: Honey Cured My Allergies
My Father-In-Law was the first one to mention it to me. I had coughed my way to a cracked rib while in Laguna Nigel for the weekend, and he was watching me alternately hack and wince with a sympathetic eye. “You know, raw local honey has been really helping me with my allergies. As local as you can get it.… Read more →
Stigma, Weed, and Taxes (Hold On To Your Hats)
Recently, LA city voters passed a proposition that will shut down roughly one thousand law-abiding, tax-paying businesses in its greater metro area. Business which contributed roughly 2.5 Million dollars to the local economy in taxes ALONE over the past year, not to mention the contributions made via payroll, mortgage/rents, suppliers, and the like. As you may know, Los Angeles is grossly… Read more →

If you haven’t been purging like you promised yourself you would — I totally feel you. I mean, I’ve purged every day if piling things by your front door or in your storage area… Read more →
My Doctor Laughs In The Face Of…Me.
A few years ago my self care achieved such an all time low that I managed to get myself a case of ye olde scurvy. {Turns out I have a little Captain in me after all.} When my doctor broke the news, he laughed out loud. At the time I chalked it up to the fact that he had probably… Read more →
Farm Boy: Where Everything Is As I Wish
Sometimes, it’s the most random places that we come to love. In the parking lot of our local Trader Joe’s, is a little Mom and Pop produce shop that makes fresh sushi and serves fro-yo, and generally improves the quality of life in our neighborhood. And also, the people who own it are obviously geniuses because Trader Joe’s produce department… Read more →
Freak You In Your Snooter, Body Image.
{I’m trying to clean up the sailor-mouth, okay?} {Play the song. It’s good for a laugh, and if you were a teenager in the 90s you might remember it.} I just stretched my arms as far as I could above my head and let out a loud sigh. No, more like an AHHHHHHHHHH. Because exasperated is the word to describe… Read more →
I Hate Hope
It was a mantra of mine for a while. After Delilah was born, I was depressed for a really long time. Much, much longer than I really realized or was willing to admit. Mental illness is a funky chicken like that — it’s so organic in the way it twists your mind you think your thoughts are perfectly normal. That’s… Read more →
