A Love Letter


So, a few weeks ago I received an email.

It was from the husband of a fellow blogger.

Her birthday was coming up and the one thing he knew she would love is for everyone to post on her birthday. 

Is that love or what?  He went through her blogroll and emailed each of us asking if we would participate.  

What a thoughtful, kind and amazing gesture.

So Jen.  Happy Birthday.  Getting to know you through blogging has been an extreme pleasure. You are a talented writer.  Funny and honest.  I love that you share your journey as a working mom with 4 kids, 3 of which are triplets!

I wish you all the happiness in the world... you've clearly already got all the love of a good man.

Please go wish Jen a wonderful birthday, she is one amazing lady!

What an awesome hubby! I just got back from wishing her a Happy Birthday. Just wanted to thank you for yesterday. You pulled off an amazing event via bloggy blogville! And I'm ever so happy to know that you received your box of my favorite things AND that you liked them. There were so many other things that I contemplated sending but just wasn't sure. It's really hard because even though they are my favs, I still didn't want you to receive anything you would hate. Ya know?

Already wished Jen a Happy Birthday. Her hubby must be some kind of wonderful to do that for her.

Also thank you for just being here for me. I appreciate it beyond measure. Love you.

Thanks for taking the time to help make Jen's birthday so special. Especially with all of the blogathon festivities. I know Jen enjoyed it, but I wonder if now she wishes she worked yesterday instead of today...

My Big News and a $100.

It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin

Blogging for Dollars?

My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won
