Wake Up Call

So I’ve not written in a while - here’s the reason:
It’s Saturday night, L.A. Daddy is off working a special gig - covering for a friend - and I’ve got Emma in bathed and in bed. I’m knitting away at a scarf and watching old movies to pass the time until Tim gets home. […]

It’s October 18th. 6:20pm. L.A. Toddler and I are inching our way up the 101 after a long hard day of work and play. And what appears in the dusky sky? A Christmas Tree atop the CAPITOL RECORDS BUILDING! Oh. it’s beautiful, with its twinkling red and white lights… but, uh, wait, it’s […]

My Welcome to the Mommy Club

So along with Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy, I’m a loyal fan of E.R. -– since the beginning, I’ve been a huge fan. I know, most of you gave up on it after the original McDreamy left (G.C.! Not Noah Wylie!)

It’s October! It’s Halloween! […]

Name-droppin’

I couldn’t really call myself L.A. Mommy, or a Los Angeleno, without doing a bit of the old name-droppage. You see, we run into the “stars” all the time while living out here. You just can’t help it. However, it’s an unwritten rule that we’re not allowed to go Gah-Gah-Apeshit, like some tourist, whenever we […]

Two Kinds

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who like “Joe Versus the Volcano” and those who don’t.
Discuss.

I managed to pull L.A. Daddy away from football long enough to drag the family to the Farmers Market for brunch. L.A. Toddler got to experience crepes for the first time (Verdict? Thumbs down on the Banana crepe with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and powdered sugar… On Monday we’re going to conduct a DNA test […]

It’s About Time

Cali is normally way ahead of people on a lot of things. But we’ve been behind on one thing — cellphone use in cars. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and D.C. all have bans on drivers talking it up on their cells. Now, Angelinos really love to use their cellphones while they drive.
Which wouldn’t be […]
