A few weeks ago I was invited to visit the Skirball Cultural Central with my friend Shiri and our families to see the Noah’s Ark exhibit — an interactive experience for both children and adults. This permanent fixture unique to the Skirball has all…
My sweet boy went off to his first day of preschool today. Fox isn’t around kids very often. When he is, he’s kind and generous — other parents always comment on those things. We did worry that he wasn’t getting enough social interaction and,…
About three weeks ago, Fox started dancing around the house and he’s barely stopped to eat or sleep. This dancing machine started when he first heard Gangnam Style in the credits of The Nut Job, and he would specifically request that movie knowing he’d…
Have I mentioned before that I’m an introvert? I certainly have, but I probably haven’t explained how much it affects my daily decisions and actions. From anxiety over casual lunches with friends to sweaty palms at the thought of bringing Fox literally anywhere indoors,…
Yesterday I mentioned that I would be talking about an event I recently attended and I’m here to spill the details! A couple weeks ago a great group of mamas and medical professionals gathered at Au Fudge (Jessica Biel’s adorable restaurant!) in West Hollywood…
I’m going to make a pretty big admission right off the bat here because I believe in transparency. This spring marked the first time I ever left the house alone with Fox. I used to hide from the fact that I was too overwhelmed…
One of the most adorable things about Fox right now is his obsession with making choices. Sometimes I even hear him in his room saying, “This one? No. This one? No. This one? Yes!” while he’s putting himself in control of which hat Mr.…
Tyler was away these past few days for meetings which left me and Fox with some serious quality time to bond over almond butter and banana toast and sidewalk scribbles. Here’s a few tidbits of admiration and other funny notes on Fox at 2…
Admitting the realities of your parenting system is always a gamble — it seems like everyone has an opinion on what’s firmly right and wrong, even if it’s subjective. Here’s a peek into three of the areas that we give Fox leeway in our…
Raising a little boy can be interesting as a new mom. Raising a little boy who loves cars unconditionally (“vroom vroom!”) can be entertaining. Raising a little boy who loves cars along side a husband who really loves cars and racing is all-consuming. If…
“You are the future of our people, Moana. And they are not out there. They are right here.” We have watched Moana as a family no less than 30 times by now – it’s one of two movies that Fox cannot stop requesting! I…
One of the things I love most about my son is his innate kind behavior towards other children. If another kid rips a toy out of his hand, he smiles at them and finds another toy. When he sees a new face, he says,…
A few days ago I was flipping through my Facebook feed and saw a girl I went to high school with writing about her 3-month-old. She was concerned because he’s constantly inconsolable and she can’t figure out why. Every symptom she listed made it…
There’s something so satisfying about giving gifts with a theme. Each item makes the thought come full circle and spices up any ordinary gift. Get your man these presents alone or scoop up all the bells and whistles! Here are a few ideas. Record Player…
One of the things I love most about Tyler is that he’s easy to please. He’s not a complainer, he’s happy in any situation you drop him into, and his positivity meter is off the charts. Because he’s so low maintenance, it’s really hard…
