Marcia Clark’s latest book, Killer Ambition, is an informative novel about the duties of a Los Angeles prosecutor, specifically one that works in the Special Trials Unit.  This book intertwines investigative work with courtroom drama.  Clark seems to know something about high profile crimes and trials since people should remember her as the lead prosecutor on the O.J.

If you are a working mom like me, I'm sure that there are many other “mom” titles that you would love to identify with like:  “the stay-at-home mom”, “the part-time working mom”, or, “the work-at-home mom”.  However, when your daily commute to and from work takes up over 2 hours of your day, you would just settle with “the live 10 minutes from work mom”.&n

I grew up with live-in nannies. Not many nannies at once of course, I’m not a Kardashian, but one nanny at a time over the course of my childhood. My parents both worked full-time jobs and needed someone around the clock to help take care of me and my brother.

However, they were either purposely misled during the interview or never told about the company's dire situation.

A few days ago I turned 40. The Hubs and I celebrated with a ridiculously decadent tropical trip sans children (thanks, Nanni and Poppi!). I slept in, ate incredible meals, drank way more than I should have, took long walks by the beach and relaxed by the pool with a Kindle full of books for days on end. It was delicious. Every single moment.
