I’m Not Asking Disneyland To Say The Motzi

by Jessica Gottlieb on December 4, 2009 · 32 comments

Mom Bloggers and Disneyland have a complicated relationship. It’s no secret that many Mom Bloggers are in it for the swag, the review items, the trips. The days at Disneyland.
I am not. I promise you, I don’t want your tchotche, I don’t want a trip with a publicist, I want a trip with my family. [...]

You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You

by Jessica Gottlieb on November 26, 2009 · 1 comment

I want to go to Tanzania.

Watch the video and then follow the kids here on twitter. Often between 10 and 11 at night in Los Angeles I’m lucky enough to find them active.
I’m thankful for the internet and how it levels the playing field.

Yesterday this appeared in my inbox from iPhoneGran’s favorite child my brother:
I don’t know if you remember my Sushi place in Seattle (I don’t remember if you ever went). In any case, over the last decade they have become friends of ours and fed us meals beyond belief.
Recently, Hajime has decided to only serve sustainable [...]

by Jessica Gottlieb on June 20, 2009 · 11 comments

For two days I’ve tooled around New York City in a Lexus RX 350 (mid size SUV). Yes, that’s right, for some ungawdly reason Lexus has trusted me with their luxury car. Add to this the fact that I have Never driven in New York City, and you get a recipe for disaster.
Lexus is one bold [...]

Mommy Blogging from Virgin Airlines @35,000 Feet

by Jessica Gottlieb on June 19, 2009 · 12 comments

There are bruises on my shin because the six year old next to me  fidgets and squirms. I don’t care at all, I miss my own two so much I can no longer be kind to adults. I need to get back to my kids.
I can’t stop thinking about the 140 Conference. I took so [...]

New York Makes My Ass Look Fat

by Jessica Gottlieb on June 18, 2009 · 10 comments

My husband was here working here in New York City on Thursday so I flew in with the kids Friday. We arrived early, flight was great, whatever. Showed up at the Warwick Hotel in midtown and I have decided that this is the only New York Hotel I ever need to be in. It’s service [...]

It’s a Bit Like Not Writing a Thank You Note

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 29, 2009 · 10 comments

Only Tackier.
I’ve taken advantage of a zillion opportunities offered to me because of this blog, and guess what I’ve done? I’ve gone out and partied myself to death instead of taking a few moments and properly saying Thank You.
Thank you for giving me a voice.
Let’s start with the inauguration day party. It was great, why?
First [...]

Sorry I Missed Carpool

But I was busy being outclassed.
I was at the Consumer Reports Health Summit (actually I got to speak there too)

Were you here today? Tell the folks at Media Bistro how it was, they promised to let everyone know how it went…

Start Spreading the News: New York

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 21, 2009 · 2 comments

I left the house this morning at 6.30 and arrived at JFK promptly at 4.45.
I checked into The Time Hotel at roughly 6 and wandered around the city for a few hours, just stretching my legs and acclimating myself.
Treated myself to an amazing dinner with not one, but two glasses of wine, met a friend [...]

Colorado Ski Vacation: Where I Finally Ski

by Jessica Gottlieb on January 9, 2009 · 3 comments

As the antibiotics kick in and Alexander’s fever subsides we start having a little fun. The kids disappear into the snow and build forts. We caution them to stick together, but there is no lecture about the homeless guy on Ventura or the speed of cars. Instead we worry about boots falling off or spats [...]
