Forget Moms Clubs, It's all about MOMZSHARE!

Dare I say I am beginning to make a life here in the D.C. Metro area? I think I am. One of the things that has helped quell my insane homesickness for the land of breast implants and Lohan court dates is Momzshare. Momzshare is the brainchild of Lara from Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom and Jennifer from Hip as I Wanna Be. Check those hot chicks out because it is no exaggeration to say that the two of them have made the DC Metro area a lot more like home for me.


I tried the moms club route and was met with, how to say this nicely, the cold shoulder. Well harumph right back at ya! I don't need you! I've got 80 brilliant funny and fabulous bloggers to hang with! If you are in the DC Metro area I seriously recommend you join us! I can guarantee you a good time.


This past Saturday's Momzshare was held at The Little Gym in Silver Spring, MD. How fun! I can't wait to take Max there. I was only sad we didn't really get to swing on the uneven bars. Although we did have wine, so perhaps it was a wise choice to prevent 80+ tipsy mommy bloggers (and non moms too!) from going crazy on the kids equipment! I kid - we were very well behaved. I had a great time chatting with several of the girls I had met before and met many more funny women who I may or may not be currently blog stalking. The concept of Momzshare is to get fabulous women together for networking and fun...and maybe to do a little good. So while we were all buying raffle tickets  for fantabulous prizes like crazy amounts of awesomeness from BitMoms and La Papillion Spa while scarfing down cupcakes and vegan soup (oh, asparagus soup...I've been dreaming of you!) we were actually giving money to Team Why Mommy.




It was a great time from start to finish. Great food, great women, great conversation. Won't you join us next time? Cause for reals, wild horses couldn't keep me from the next Momzshare!


Lauree from SimplyLeap spoke to us about finding our passions. It's always interesting when you have to boil it down to one word what you are really passionate about.





What's your one word?




(see this? random background? that would be why I'm moving. wth! and no...no, I've not highlighted it.)

Wordless Wednesday~ Back in the saddle!

Audition? Check!

Happy New year and The I Wills For 2010

I am not one for resolutions. If I resolve to do something like lose weight I find I am resolving to finish the Hershy's kisses faster than you can say January 2nd. So I do the "I Wills', and I hope you'll join me!  The rules are simple, what will you do in the new year? I encourage your I Wills to feature both lofty goals and small ones. A small victory is still a victory and taste of success just makes you want more. (Also like Hershey Kisses)

• I will be kind to Zach in action and thought, expecting nothing in return
• I will eat healthily in order to be strong for my family
• I will exercise regularly
• I will create a beautiful living space, wherever that is.
• I will be kind to my baby in his frustration, recognizing that he cannot express what he wants and that must be so stressful for him!
• I will tell him I am proud of him every, listing his accomplishments of the day (I already do this before bedtime...so check!)

• I will begin to prepare my body for (God willing) baby #2
• I will do something for me every day.
• I will do something for my career every day

• I will smile and say thank you to valets, parking attendants, check out workers, mailman...those who cross my path.
• I will donate money to my favorite charities.
• I will host a family dinner in my own home. (Christmas!? apartment or house, doesn't matter. Just has to be our home)
• I will try very hard to let my baby be independent and not need me as much, resisting the urge to keep him wholly dependent on me.
• I will trust others with his care.
• I will talk on the phone more (I'm not good on the phone for some reason. I'd rather text!)
• I will NOT be afraid of following me the path laid out for me even if it is not the one I would have chosen.
• I will accept abundance 
• I will accept success
• I will caretake my friendships.
• I will play more

• I will figure out what I want to call this blog!
• I will move it to whatever that is, without loosing people
• I will get a real design! 
• I will continue to pursue the creative side of my personality.
• I will embrace being a wife and a mother. 
• I will continue to pursue my acting 
• I will be GREAT on set when I film in February. 
• I will treasure every day as the gift that it is
• And lastly, I will live by this quote for 2010

She chose to focus on the beauty in life, 

and the more she saw; the more she had.
