The Closer star spoke at an event at Ultra last night and was super-cool and super-honest about how hard it can be to balance kids and career. As “bad” as this may sound: It was nice to know the super glamourous super-rich, super gorgeous and super-thin can have the same struggles the rest of us [...]

Millions of educated, professional women temporarily leave their jobs to stay home and raise their children despite the hard work put into earning a degree and climbing the corporate ladder. So wouldn’t quitting, even for a few years, kill a career? Not according to Monica Samuels and J.C. Conklin, who launched [...]

Forgive me, peeps for not blogging in so long….it’s been one of those weeks/months/years….I don’t have to tell you…work/kids/family/work/kids/family and oh yeah…ME!

Last night I FINALLY got to do something for me that was FUN and exciting and DELICIOUS—not to mention inspiring (Italy: here I come!). Kim Orlando, of TravelingMom.com and Beth Feldman of rolemommy.com [...]

As 20 kids what love is (since Valentine’s day is just around the corner) and you’ll probably get 20 different answers. But ask them what makes a great couple and, say the experts at KidsHealth.org, those in the 6-12 age range will tell you it’s YOU: good ‘old Mom and Dad.

I don’t know about you, but it’s REALLY hard for me to carve out/find some time for myself. I honestly wish I had more time to read/lounge/spa-ah it. But lately, my body has been talking to me, and showing its age. In other words: I need to exercise (to be honest: I’ve always avoided exercising).

Where I live in Westchester there are tons of stick-thin women with stick-thin daughters. Which leads me to wonder: how can parents ensure they’re raising a daughter that is happy with her body image and one that does not ask for the gift of liposuction before she turns 16?

Sarah Maria Dreisbach, body image expert and [...]

Am I the only one that thinks it’s crazy that we’re raising a generation of kids that can’t be without a TV even for a short ride to the grocery store? Stay at home moms should have a more creative way to ride to/from playdates without plugging in the minivan screen. And shame on you [...]

Do you have close friends at work?

If you do, chances are you’re more productive. So claims Tom Rath, author of Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford to Live Without. A friend of mine sent me this information and I had to share:

According to Rath’s Gallup Organization research, employees who have a best friend [...]

Are you as stressed as I am? Chanukah arrived last night but instead of sharing a family meal and giving gifts, we were running around so we could attend our daughter’s winter choir concert. Why the schools schedule stuff then (on top of homework she had—so SHE was stressed too) is beyond me. Indeed, when [...]

According to a new report by the Marketing to Moms Coalition, the State of the American Mom shows a shift in perception among working moms vs. stay at home moms. Surprisingly, more working mothers say they attend their child’s school and extracurricular events than mothers who do not work outside the home.

Also of note: African [...]
