Question: Who is ready for my bestie Barbara King to write a book on navigating the madness of the Los Angeles school system?!? The multi-hyphenate actor//writer//blogger//mama is back with the latest in her series on motherhood in this strange City of Angels of ours, this time detailing some of the bizarre schools one might come across in the public school system...View Article
Happy Monday, guys! Today I'm sharing a post from my dear friend Jon DeWalt, who also happens to be a brilliant comedian and writer for NBC's "Undateable" (I think if you asked him what he does, though, he would probably say "Be a friend to Annie" first, which is why I ranked his titles in this order.) This piece originally appeared on his blog several months ago, but I wanted to share it as a follow-up to his wife and writing partner Allison Bosma's hilarious post on her audition from hell that appeared on Heels in the Hills last week. Jon's story is equally inspiring for all of us dreamers...View Article
I am SO. EXCITED. to share this guest blog from my friend Allison Bosma, writer for NBC's UNDATEABLE and one of the funniest humans I've ever met. Like me, she moved to Los Angeles with the pipe dream of becoming a HOLLYWOOD STAAAAAR! This is her hilarious, horrifying tale of the audition that killed her dreams... (Good thing, too, because now the world gets the gift of her writing. Especially me. She gets paid a lot of hot, steaming cash for putting words on paper and she wrote this magic pro bono. THANK YOU, ALLISON.)View Article
L.A. actor//writer//mom (and my bestie) Barbara King is back with her latest on motherhood in Los Angeles. This is the second piece in her series on the terrifying and hilarious (and very broken) school system in Los Angeles. When you're done laughing (or breathing into a paper bag from anxiety, if you are also going through the same ordeal), wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the comments section, and tell her it's all going to be okay! Here's Barbara on the questions you should ask on an L.A. school tour if you're a "Real Mom Of Los Angeles..."View Article
Tony and I are soaking up all the sights, sounds and pasta we can in our last few hours in NYC so my sweet sweet parents Laur and Murr are taking over the blog today in lieu of the usual Friday gratitude list. (Consider this my gratitude list: THANK YOU, MOM + DAD, FOR WRITING THIS BLOG!!) Having just turned 30 yesterday, I have a newfound respect for them, my mom especially - when she turned 30, she was less than 3 months away from giving birth to me and had to take it sober. (I, on the other hand, drank champagne pretty much all day long.) Her life was in such a different place than mine when she hit this milestone, which is crazy to think about because she and I are alike in so many ways. Here she and my dad are with their thoughts on their baby turning 30... Highlights include memories of me calling our beloved dog "Baby Jesus," and asking my mom on her 34th birthday, because 34 seemed SO OLD, "Are you going to die today?"View Article
My sweet, sweet bestie Barbara King – actress, writer and Mom of the Century – is back with the latest of her series on motherhood in Los Angeles. She wrote this rebuttal to a post I shared a few months ago about my fear of motherhood and everything that comes with it. FULL DISCLAIMER, MOM: I’M (STILL) NOT PREGNANT. I had three delicious cocktails last night, and plan to continue pretending my dogs are my children for just a little while longer. But here’s why Barbara thinks I should throw that plan out the window… Get ready to laugh AND have your heart ripped open with love and ALL THE FEELINGS.View Article
My favorite L.A. mama, Barbara King, is back in the latest edition of Coffee With Friends, with her take on how New Year's resolutions change after having kids. Like her, it's hilarious and poignant. We're officially 3 weeks into 2016, guys. It's REAL. I'm surviving Dry January (barely) with only minor hallucinations of diving into a pool filled with wine. How is your "New Year New Me" thing going? Here's Barbara, sounding off on her resolutions...View Article
