Looking at my now almost two year old daughter yelling at me for more cheese, I can’t help but think, how the hell did I get here? Or better yet, how did she get here? I’ve been writing for this blog for a while now and realized I have skipped ahead. I have never shared…
New Moms
Staying In Touch
As we get older, we go through different stages in our lives and our friendships evolve. We go from fun nights out gossiping about dating, to planning weddings to having babies. So what happens if you’re not on the same timeline as your other girlfriends? Going solo to a friends wedding is a blast, but…
What Is Speech Therapy and How Do I know if My Child Needs It?
As mothers, whether we are seasoned mamas or new ones, we are all focused on making sure our children are reaching their developmental milestones. It is rooted deep in our hearts and souls to want our kids to succeed at what they are doing and to experience happiness while doing it. But what happens if…
We’re Trying
As much as we love being moms, it’s also one of the hardest things we’ll ever do. You can drive yourself crazy micro managing every little thing you do, but you can’t control everything. Your child will still have meltdowns and embarrass the crap out of you. It comes with the territory, and thankfully, most…
Making Our Own Traditions
Holidays aren’t always easy or perfect when you have a blended family, but with some preparation and not getting hung up on the actual day, they can go smoothly and be fun! Even if you can’t be together as a family on a holiday, you can make your own traditions and celebrate on a different…
It’s Official!
What an amazing day! We celebrated the official launch of Sleepless Mom yesterday, at the beautiful Westlake Village Inn, with an intimate group of fellow mom friends. We drank Rosé, ate some delicious food, laughed – all under the beautiful California sunshine!
Mama Bear
Ok so you can sit with us… I’m just now getting the whole concept of what the movie Mean Girls is really all about. Sure, I have experienced my share of mean girl moments, but I didn’t realize that my own little girl would have to experience it as well, even at the young age…
Just Call Me Cashew
Some would describe my husband and I as the perfect example of the opposites attract. He is very athletic and pretty serious. I, on the other hand, don’t take anything too seriously and love one glass too many. Our personalities have really come out now that we’re parents. When my husband suggests something, I usually…
The Woman Behind the Curtain
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I wrote about being pregnant and walking the red carpet. It was such a rush and made me feel like a strong warrior woman—traveling all over, getting gussied up—all while toting my babe around. It was a really magical time. Just a few months into motherhood…
Is Daycare Right For Our Family?
Daycare has been a big topic of discussion in our family lately. Some days I am all about it, and other days I can’t imagine not spending every minute of the day with my daughter. I did what every mom does — I asked every mother around me if this is a good idea. Surprisingly,…
Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Oh The Places You’ll Go…And Breastfeed
I’ve fed in the car, I’ve fed at a bar, and on a plane, but I have yet to do it on a train. At the movies, at sushi, at ball fields and on the sand. I’ve even nursed with a drink in my hand! (But just one, so don’t get too excited!) Oh The…
