Join me Monday morning for a live web chat on The Motherhood entitled Protecting Your Kids from Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is one of the 21st Century parent’s biggest fears for their kids, and part of the fear is not knowing what to do to prevent and defend against cyberbullying. The chat will address questions like: Should [...]
Our pet Leopard Gecko, who came to us named Saurus and we then re-named Sandstorm, passed away last week and we had a little memorial service for him in the back yard.
Yes, I am training to run the Hollywood Half Marathon in April and I sometimes wake up and wonder how I got here. But then it all comes back to me: how I got suckered into signing up in the New Year’s resolution haze of January, how I thought it would be so much fun, [...]
It’s not really a saga, exactly. I don’t mean to imply drama, although there’s certainly some drama. I just meant that Puberty is in full swing here, and the latest development is the dreaded voice changing. Yes, my son’s voice dropped a few octaves in the past week, shocking a friend of mine who hadn’t [...]
I’ve said the words SOPA and PIPA in my head so many times over the past 24 hours they’re starting to sound like a vaudeville act: “I need SOPA and PIPA like a hole the head! Ba-da-da-dah” – Sing it with me! But in all seriousness, SOPA and PIPA are two very badly-written pieces of [...]

I had a wonderful holiday and I hope you did, too. I spent time with family, I was a tourist in my own town, and I ate lots of Holiday Food. Way too much. So when The Motherhood asked me to take part in Special K’s National Weigh-In Day, I said yes with no hesitation. [...]
Perhaps the Mayans will turn out to be right, and this will be the year the world ends. In case they were wrong, I’ve made my annual New Year’s Resolutions so I can make the most out of 2012. I plan to turn 50 later this year in a fit bod. Which means I’ll be [...]
Yes, folks – it was 3 years ago today that I spun off Sarah’s Blog as a place to write about my life and to separate it from my blog about my neighborhood (Mar Vista Mom). I don’t write as much about my life these days as I do about my digital life with my [...]
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Roy’s in downtown LA with my family and I wanted to share my review of our meal. We were greeted by a charming staff who offered toys to my kids from the special treasure box and a kids’ menu with fun activities even before we’d sat down. [...]
