I feel very honored to share this latest guest piece from Heels in the Hills' resident mommy blogger, Barbara King. She's written before about the madness of the Los Angeles school system, and all of the things that cost the same as private school in L.A. Today, she's sharing her very personal and important decision on the school she and her husband ultimately chose for their daughter...View Article
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
Tomorrow, Runyon Canyon closes for 4 months. If you live outside of L.A., that means nothing to you. If you live in L.A., it means EVERYTHING. (Okay, maybe EVERYTHING only if you live in L.A. and are trying to become an actor/writer/director/producer/social media star... Which is everyone.) On any given day, you are guaranteed to see girls with zero body fat speed walking in crop tops and wedge sneakers, shredded shirtless dudes running lines for an audition while they sprint the hills, childless people with their dogs strapped onto them in Baby Bjorns, professional dog walkers with 10+ dogs and, if you're lucky, the lady who pushes her cat in a stroller. It's also pretty likely you will run into a celeb. In the decade I've lived in L.A., I've seen...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
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
For the latest edition of Coffee With Friends, I'm SUPER excited to introduce this guest blog by one of my best friends, Barbara King. She's an actress, mommy extraordinaire, member of my bridal party and mother of Matisse, our flower girl/child I pretend is mine when Barbara's not around. Anytime Barbara and I get together, the conversation inevitably turns to the topic of raising kids in L.A. I'm terrified of it, and she is rocking it. She's got a pretty hilarious take on motherhood here in Hollywood, so I asked her to write a series about it for Heels in the Hills. Here is her first installment, "10 Questions L.A. Kids Have Asked Me"!View Article
Friday night, I went to a Korean spa for the first time with a pack of my girlfriends. It was both the most traumatic experience I've ever willingly paid for, as well as one of the best. I knew very little about what I was in for, beyond the fact that all the magazines and Instagram and beauty experts keep telling me Korean beauty treatments and products are the fountain of youth, and also my bestie Katierose is obsessed with these spas and I am obsessed with her, so. Plus, it was $100 for a full-body scrub, a massage, a facial, and a hair wash over the course of 85 minutes. $100 is a lot of money, but as far as spa treatments go, that's on the very affordable end. However, I should have done a little more homework so I'd be prepared for what I was actually in for... Like that EVERYONE IS NAKED, INCLUDING YOU.View Article
