I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids

Alice in Wonderland!

We both were blown away by the new film produced by our pals Jennifer and Suzanne Todd! (We are also thrilled to be working with them on a Lifetime show based on our ‘Dirty Little Secrets’ book)…stay tuned!

We flew to LA Monday for the first U.S. screening of Alice, and it was phenomenal. A very soulful and compelling interpretation of the tale, with amazing performances by Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska. Opens this Friday, check it out! xx

No, really, it’s soooo cute…

“Oh…! Look at that…kitty? You worked really hard, didn’t you? You want it to go where? In the kitchen? Oh…I’m thinking maybe my upstairs closet shelf would be waaaaay better, where I can see it every day…what do you think?”

It's a...kitty, right? Awww.

· Cardiovascular disease kills approximately 450,000 women each year, about one every minute.
· While 1 in 30 American women die of breast cancer, about 1 in 3 die from cardiovascular disease.
· More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer.
· Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.
· Only 1 in 5 women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat.

I Was A Really Good Mom Before I Had to COOK ANYTHING.

Trisha-and-Amy — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:37:44 +0000

Seriously…we each just spent oh, about an hour and a half cooking a really simple meal, only to have our kids whine and complain about the ‘funny smelling’ sauce on the chicken and the ‘craggly’ spinach (uh, ever heard of SAUTEED?). We are trying, really hard, to be good moms who offer up homemade meals. But why is it so hard? Why among all of the trillion cookbooks out there can we not figure this out? We’re down with the hotdogs and mac ‘n cheese 4 nights out of the week, but aren’t we supposed to step it up a little, some of the time? Ugh. Dinner is throwing us over the edge. Waaaay over.

He Snores While She…Uh…Uses Her Purple Rabbit.

Trisha-and-Amy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:24:55 +0000

Ok, we heard a hilarious story today. One of our friends who shall go unnamed routinely has trouble sleeping in the middle of the night. The only way she can get back to sleep is to masturbate. While her husband sleeps next to her. And she actually pulls out her purple rabbit from underneath the bed and flicks it on (bzzzzz) and does the whole routine. She says it does the trick, and he never knows! We’re betting that if he knew, he’d ask her why she doesn’t just wake HIM up. But that’s not really the point, is it??

Who Let Their Kids Watch Baby Einstein Videos?

Trisha-and-Amy — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:52:03 +0000

Ok, me. (Well, one of us did.) A lot. They’re educational, right? Propping your kid up at 3 months lets you take a shower, right? Well….now it seems it wasn’t such a good idea. Thoughts? You can even get your $$ back….

How Come No One Tells You About the Homework Before You Get Knocked Up??

Trisha-and-Amy — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:49:14 +0000

Did we really sign up for this? Who would have thought the idea that crying babies and 4 o’clock boredom would ever look good? Didn’t we already pay our dues? Homework has now taken over our lives. What ever happened to playing outside for hours while moms sat inside, cooked dinner and contemplated cocktails? Now life is over-run with activities and flying in the door at 6pm after soccer, karate and ballet only to have nothing to cook and hours of mind-numbing homework. How does one handle this? Cut out sports and all activities? Lose friends and have no playdates…..ever? Homework has turned our once smiling kids into stressed out, angst-ridden little people. We turn into the moms we never really wanted to be; barking orders and running the house like a militant. No time to even poor a glass of wine.

At the beginning of the year, we have high hopes that once things settle down, everyone will get in the groove and we’ll barely have to remind our kids to do their homework. They’re all a year older, aren’t they? Won’t they just magically all go to their rooms and do it without being asked?

Well, we can all have a fantasy.

Seriously?

Trisha-and-Amy — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 01:32:27 +0000

Ok we can only give so much. So much money to our schools, so much time and volunteering, so much energy to make sure everyone has some sort of meal in their lunchbox and then get their homework done in a timely fashion. Why is it SO black and white, going from the whimsical lazy days of summer to the insane frenzy of back to school and all of the scheduling and ‘to dos’? How can we enjoy each other when we’re racing around? Amy already forgot her daughter’s first conference. Really? Ok, done venting now.
