I attended a preview for We Made This Movie recently at the beautiful and iconic Ed Sullivan Theater (home of The Late Show With David Letterman. Yeah, that one!). The preview was highlighted by the equally iconic Paul Shaffer; conversation between the film’s writer and director (also Late Show producer and CEO of Worldwide pants) […]

My Toddler Argues with Other Toddlers
You asked and now you shall receive. It’s only fair for us to share all of this stored up knowledge about toddlers and what happens when they start toddling (and talking)!

Getting Your Toddler to Eat (Healthy!)
How your kids are eating (or not eating) can be a huge cause of stress for parents, especially during the toddler years. Thrown food, dumped plates and the old “gag n’ puke” from an unfamiliar vegetable are not uncommon occurrences during most meals. Though it can bring a lot of added anxiety to the dinner […]
Are You a Sh*tty Mom?

It sure got mine when Today Show producers, Alicia Ybarbo and Mary Ann Zoellner sent me a copy of their new book, Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us.

My baby started kindergarten this week (don’t tell him I called him that), which officiallymakes me a mom who is out of the pre-school/diaper/stroller period. Now I am decidedly in the homework/after-school/soccer mom phase. Before I know it, I’ll be in the sex/drugs/college applications stage. They say, “When your children are younger, every day feels […]
