Month: May 2011
Mexico in Malibu
Since Dancing with the Stars wrapped, I totally checked out of my chaotic work world and checked back in to my chaotic Family Ville. The past month totally wiped me out! Too much work and traveling, not enough sleep and too much time away from my kids is never a good thing for any of us. It was a challenging month to say the least, and I am so happy that its over. I spent my holiday hanging with the family at home, cooking, swimming, and visiting with a few friends. It was a great weekend and the perfect teaser for summer.
Do Your Kids Believe They’re Entitled?
One of the things that scares me most as a parent is that my children will grow up believing that theyre entitled to whatever they want in life. You see it everywhere: college graduates who expect turn their noses up at entry level jobs, expecting to land high-paying, satisfying work without first paying their dues. People who command thousands of dollars to appear at a club just for being tan and obnoxious. Little leagues in which every team gets a trophy, even if they came in last. In this kind of a world, how do you raise kids not to feel entitled?
It’s Official: I’m a Minivan Mom
Its funny how much your life can change in a decade. In my young 20s I envisioned the next 10 years to bring me a fast-paced career as a journalist, travel and maybe a child or two. I would be fashionable and cool and tuned into the latest trends.
Missing Maternity Leave Already
In just a few short weeks, my maternity leave will come to an end. Ive had a few months to bond with our new baby girl, but the time has come to slide back into the trousers, battle the morning commute and re-charge the Blackberry battery. Mommys heading back to work.
