I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom
I love the scene in mean girls, when amy poehler makes hump day happy hour drinks for her teenage daughter and friends (little did we know that lindsay lohan was actually drinking the stuff) securing her status as a "cool" mom. What is a "cool mom" anyway? To me, its a woman who cares for the well being of her child and has the tips, tricks and not always savvy know how to support a growing human. Enter Daphne Brogdon. This comedian-cum-TV Guide hostess is a mother to two children and step-mother to another three and has taken her role of mother to the next level. She created Coolmom.com as a cool place online that offers a blog for mothers of all stages to post, rant and laugh at the little things. plus, there are adorable videos featuring Daphne and her kids which are a must see, coz that bitch is funny.

amazing weekend getaway on the cheap
it was me & maj's first year anniversary this past weekend and since I had been traveling for the past three weeks to boston, los angeles and miami on business, I wanted to spend some quality summer snuggle time with my man. I got home from the miami swimshow on wednesday night and thursday morning we were off and running. a $17 chinatown bus from nyc to DC has us visiting family and eating yummy soul fusion food at creme on U street. friday morning we picked up our enterprise rental and headed to the outer banks, north carolina. our adorable no frills hotel, ocean house motel at milepost 9.5 in kill devil hills was a perfect hideaway with great prices. I rocked my bikini thief zuma in black on the beach as we baked our Mediterranean skin. we ate a ton of DQ blizzards (mine, cookie dough & his, heath bar), delicious fish at mako mike's, putt putt at sunset and an incredible sunset ecology tour with captain lenny of soundside adventures to watch the purple martins descend on the manteo bridge. we were in the car, sunday morning, bellies filled with grits and bad coffee from stack 'em high to make the five hour trek back to DC. we got to our destination with just enough time to catch my 6pm appearance on TV Guide Channel's Fashion Team (which I rated a solid A -- video post to follow soon). a veggie chinese dinner in chinatown DC capped off our amazing weekend. naps on the bus had us in NYC early morning and in bed to dream of Dairy Queen.
