As my twitter followers know,  I was at the L.A. Lakers game Sunday.  It was wonderful:  an afternoon date with the hubby, box seats, VIP treatment at the Royal Room, margaritas, court-side view of hottie comedian Russell Brand, Academy Award winners Dustin Hoffman & Jack Nicholson and of course, the world famous Lakers.  Who could

I thought I'd never write about or in anyway participate in the Octomom Madness that has swept the nation. Recent events have proven me wrong, but I will speak of "her" only in the broader context of child protection and child labor laws.   As Parents we should be our childrens' advocates in life and as

A couple of witty word-smiths over at Forbes are explaining how and why newly coined words, phrases and abbreviations nudge their way into our everyday, accepted vocabulary; essentially how a "Neologism" is born.  We think they missed the mark defining momager (mother and manager of any child actor celeb or otherwise) but agree that it's
