Marcia Cross Gives Thanks Early This Year
Known as the buttoned-up and tightly wound kitchen queen on Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross appears to be quite the opposite when seen about town toting her two tots to the local playground for a swing in the park or a roll in the grass. Though the multitasking mum certainly has her hands full and plenty of mouths to feed in her own home, the drama mama took time out of her Sunday afternoon to dish on motherhood, balancing a career, her fortunate life and how she gives back to the community.
How do you teach your children about giving back?
Honest to Peet: Amanda Peet in SELF Magazine
Not one to shy away from controversy or the honest truth, it's no surprise that mommy Amanda Peet is the cover girl on the December issue of SELF. The sexy mum shows off her postpartum bod and dishes on her role in the vaccinations debate, her typical date night and how she stays in shape. As the star in the flick 2012, she's a busy mom who somehow seems to keep her priorities in line all while maintaining a beaming smile on her face.
Mommy Dearest: Taking Children on Business Trip
Mommy Dearest,
I have an overseas business trip coming up to a beautiful European city. While I will be working during the day, my evenings and weekends will be free. In the past, I have used this time to sightsee and shop for gifts for my family back home.
Things to Make Mom Smile
Try as we might, moms know that sometimes we just can't do it all. That's why we get by with a little help from some rad baby and mommy products. For starters, I'll buy just about anything that promises to make me rest well so that my parenting capabilities are top notch every morning.
Mommy Dearest: Babyless Friends
Mommy Dearest,
I am a mother to a three-month-old little girl whom I adore. I was blessed with a successful pregnancy on the first attempt with my husband, but sad, a few friends of my friends have not been so lucky. Having tried clomid and several rounds of in vitro fertilization, it is becoming increasingly difficult for my childless friends to see me with my baby.
Supersize This: Ses Petites Mains Agnys Blouse
Finding the perfect top that can be worn to accompany your tot on kindergarten interviews and out on date night isn't an easy task. If Ses Petites Mains made this beautiful Agnys Blouse ($44) in mommy sizes, I would buy it in both colors and consider my shopping task complete. The fine wale corduroy shirt, which comes in either light pink or green, has beautiful gathers throughout, elastic cuffs that create a stylish bloused look and a belt that ties in the back.
Tunes and Texts: Munro Leaf Books
I had the chance to peruse some seriously trendy children's stores and boutiques on Beverly Drive in Los Angeles recently and noticed many of them had the somewhat old school Munro Leaf books, Manners Can Be Fun, Brushing Your Teeth Can Be Fun, How to Speak Politely and Why, How to Behave and Why and Reading Can Be Fun (all about $15), on display. Leaf is known to most as the author of the controversial children's book The Story of Ferdinand, but published about 40 kitschy guide books for children in the '30s and '40s, many of which have been reprinted in the last few years.
Aesthetically, the books are beautiful, bright and fun to look at (I couldn't help but think they'd look very matchy matchy with a Reading Is Cool poster!), and hidden inside are messages that ring true no matter what the decade.
Wonder Woman: Kate Winslet
What doesn't kill you, earns you a Best Actress Golden Globe! That is, if you are the incredibly talented Kate Winslet. The star of Revolutionary Road, a must-see for all married moms, also took home the award for best supporting actress for her work in The Reader.
Guess the Musical Mama!
Many musically talented ladies share their beautiful voices for our listening pleasure and some have even bared their baby bumps on magazine covers to appease our voyeuristic minds. Like many working women, these moms have kept up their singing careers while being mommy all the while. Take my quiz to see if you can guess the musical mama!
