MISSED THIS. Never change.

Oh yes. I have a pile of these coupons on my fridge because Pizza Hut is not our first choice in pizza, but the trick is to make sure there’s no date written in ink on the back...

This. I named all my kids classic names, because I hate this thing people have about naming their kids U NEEK NAMES THAT ARE ACTUALLY JUST MISSPELLED and I don’t have to worry about their online identities. They can worry about that when they come of age.

Before I had kids, I ran a wedding decoration blog with pictures from the weddings I decorated with my mom. I made a surprising amount of money from it, but the Google and Facebook algorithm changes tanked my traffic. Plus, the addition of kids and moving to the city of LA that wanted its cut of what little I…

I have a drinking water hack. Bring a cup with you to bed. No guarantees you’ll drink it all before going to sleep, right? So when you wake up, drink it, so you don’t have to carry a cup of water back to the kitchen while groggy. (I hate wasting water because I live in LA, I have stairs and I go to work in the dark,…

I use e-rewards too. They don’t always like me because I work in media, but I’ve gotten quite a bit in the way of Amazon gift cards over the years, and have occasionally been able to also get my husband iTunes gift cards. They recently expanded their gift card offerings to include travel gift cards/points.

Like, do you have a kitchen photo studio at home? I suppose its possible since you’re the editor-in-chief of The Takeout...

Weaksauce, all of you. Take a gander at my stupid alarms, which do not also include the overly optimistic Bedtime screen, which aims for going to bed at 9 p.m. Ha. I’m pretty sure coffee makes me sleepy now.

We have this too. It is an excellent way to save on taxes, but it can be a pain to start up (we have to pay first, then get reimbursement?!) and because you have to stay on top of submitting your receipts for reimbursement. But definitely worth it if you are making higher than the median income in a high-cost city…

That nobody walks in LA is obviously a fallacy, but maybe it’s a warning because LA (especially some of the nearby suburbs like Glendale) are notoriously dangerous for pedestrians. Keep your eyes up, make sure you make eye contact with drivers. I do a lot of obvious head shaking and glaring at drivers who completely…

Last summer, I did a drive for a domestic violence shelter here in LA for my 40th birthday. My friends and I donated clothes, furniture, toys, even an old car seat that was beyond their expiration dates, but had never been in a crash. They were especially happy to receive women’s professional clothing and small home…

During the halcyon days before kids, my husband and I used to work nights on the same days, usually going to bed at 2 a.m. and I would get up about 10, to putz around, surf the web, drink my coffee from a mug at a leisurely pace, etc. Any later, I would feel headache-y. I now work at 4 a.m., and get about 5 hours of…

I LOL’d at this because this is the exact thing I thought.

The First Avenger is probably my favorite MCU film, and that’s saying a lot, because I love all the MCU films. I love its both inward and outward character development, and unlike most roles Chris Evans had played before Cap, he maintains that serious, earnest vibe you would expect of Captain America. Also, Agent…

This guy needs a Blue Planet show.

And God said, let there be more stars for this comment.

Ooh Rumble In The Bronx!

Good God almighty, DC, why WHY WHY?! do you have to go and make everything so stupidly dark and brooding? My kids absolutely LOVE Teen Titans Go, and if I were a more lax parent, they would be completely traumatize should they go see this film. For Godsakes.

My husband and I are generally competent parents, so of course we won’t let our boys, ages 8, 6, and 4, watch Deadpool. So naturally that’s the one they’re always talking about outside of the house.
