My sweet and supes funny childhood bestie//bridesmaid//Mom Of The Century Julia Bohn is back in the latest installment of Coffee With Friends with a special guest piece on the harsh (and hilarious) reality of life with two babies. You probably remember her from her first post, 10 Truths Of (My) Pregnancy, which went viral - and I've been harassing her to write a follow-up ever since. Even though she has a baby and a toddler, and the amount of free time that goes along with that stage of motherhood. I'm just that kind of friend. THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME, JULIA! And YOU'RE WELCOME to everyone else, because she is the best and so is this guest blog...View Article

My bestie Barbara King's latest guest blog on motherhood features the best books to read while pregnant... Let's be honest, I will read all of them NOW (even though I'm nowhere close to being pregnant) because I am an anxious person who wants to be prepared for EVERYTHING well in advance. Thank you for giving me some reading material aside from the pile of Us Weekly's I've been hoarding, Barbara!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
Actor//writer//Mom of the Century//my bestie Barbara King-Wilson is back with her latest on the (hilarious) perils of motherhood in Los Angeles. This week, crawl with her down the maddening rabbit hole that is the L.A. school system... This is Part I of her series on getting into the most exclusive, expensive, desirable club: No, not Soho House. YOUR KID'S SCHOOL. (FYI Barb, this makes me even more terrified to have kids. But, it also made me laugh a lot. And want to bring you a strong cocktail in a to-go coffee mug, because I think you need some liquid courage for these school tours...)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
