It's the thought that counts... right?
An example of what happens when you take a restroom break and leave a 2 year old unattended for 30 seconds. My boy used a step stool to raid the new loaf of bread that I had placed on the kitchen counter.
He then left a trail of bread to impress his BFFs (our doggies).
I followed the trail to our doggie’s eating area, where it appears our boy left a present for his BFFs.
It’s...

A DISH FROM YOUR CULTURE....
I love preschool. I love that my son loves going. I love his teacher I love the kids in the class. I’m in love with my kid’s preschool.
Last Friday during dropoff, I noticed that there was a sign up sheet for a Thanksgiving Feast. Parents were asked to bring a “Dish From Your Culture” to share with the class. Now, this threw me for a loop. Hmm… a “dish...

A lesson learned...
MeHubs likes to SIP (wear sweats in public) on Sundays. There is nothing wrong with Sippin’, I do it all the time. But I just thought we should dress up a little because it was the first time we were going to take our 3 year old to a movie together. We were aiming to make a 12:50pm showing of “Puss N Boots”. I just thought we should look nice so I asked him to change...

Dear Mom,
Dear Mom,
This is what I think of your new “time out” game. Best of luck cleaning up the mess.
Love,
Your 2 year old Son
PS… this was on dad’s watch, so put him in the crib for a “time out”.

BIG, PLASTIC WIENERS
My morning started early, very early. I had an appointment in Culver City at 9am. Translation- I had to get my ass up early in order to drive in some of the worst traffic LA has to offer.
Yes, traffic sucks no matter where you live, but in Los Angeles it’s something else all together. You just never know what’s going to happen on the freeway or what you will see on the freeway. ...

A SLOW, SLEEPLESS DEATH...
My two year old is slowly killing MeHubs and me, a slow, SLEEPLESS death. It’s been 365 days+365days (I’m too tired to add together) of little to no sleep. The kid is torturing us.
Yes, we’ve tried sleep training, the Ferber method (the evil torture of crying it out), Co-sleeping… less naps, more naps… we’ve tried EVERYTHING. The kid just doesn’t like...

MeHubs Dream Girl
My Husband likes girls with tattoos. Any kind of tattoo. Lots of tattoos. Girls with sleeves on their arms. Girls with a rosary that winds around her lower back and stomach. Girls with portraits of their dog on her leg. He really likes girls with tattoos.
I don’t have any tattoos. Not one, nada, zero, zilch. I’m a tat free zone. It’s not that I’m not against...

Playing Defense
Playing defense is one of the toughest and one of the most critical elements of any game. But it’s also one of the most unrewarding and also most neglected aspects of sports as well.
I played basketball for almost two decades. I played it well— running the plays, passing the ball, and shooting the clutch 3 pointer with seconds to go in the quarter. But I have always had to work...

VANITY SMURF: GAY OR METROSEXUAL?
My 3 year old son is now into watching the “Smurfs” cartoon. I’m talking the old school episodes of the “Smurfs” that are shown each morning on the Boomerang Network. This is so exciting for me because I use to watch this cartoon as a child growing up in the Northwest.
I just had an “aha moment” (PRAISE + PROPS TO OPRAH) while watching an episode of...
10 THINGS TO SAY TO FRIENDS WITHOUT KIDS
That was the LEAD story on Yahoo this morning. ’Things NOT to say to friends without kids’. ARE YOU KIDDING ME YAHOO?? Your lead story??? Anyway… it got me thinking about the 10 things you SHOULD say to friends who don’t have kids.
1) You have sex for fun. I don’t. I’m lucky if I get to kiss MEHUBS once a day. So go be a slut.
2) You get to go...

A little Self Promotion
I woke up this morning to find out I’ve been nominated for two National Entertainment Journalism Awards (From the LA Press Club).
The first nod is for a story that I worked on with Legendary NBC4 Los Angeles anchor Chuck Henry- a story we called “Forgotten Footprints”. Chuck literally stumbled up the original footprints of Grauman’s Chinese Theater which had been...
