After literally being pulled from my laptop in order to arrive on time for a seminar my friend Jen Groover was teaching, I jumped in a cab and headed over to the East Side.
Of course, because I have incredible luck anytime I need to go somewhere, I pick a cab driver who doesn’t realize he’s going the wrong way so he stops the meter (a common practice when they screw up) and now starts going the right way. While stopped at a stop light, the taxi “available” light was on (since it goes on when the meter is stopped) and I was busy writing down some thoughts I needed to remember to email.
My cab door opens. A certain celebrity dad who is now I think a stay at home dad realized I was sitting there despite the “available” light and said something I think was a “I’m so sorry”. He smiled, closed back the door and jumped into the empty cab in front of us.
Of course all of this happened before I could remember I had Savvy Mommy postcards in my bag and should have given him one. What are the chances�

I’ll admit to reading the wedding announcements in The New York Times a few times, then again I was a wedding planner so I guess it’s not like admitting to secretly doing brain surgery while working as a paralegal.
The few times I took a peek I’d look immediately at the ones with photos or those that showed a large age difference. I personally never wanted my announcement in any paper because I never thought anyone should care about my “breeding” but that’s just me.
I now pronounce this wedding announcement in The New York Observer as taking the Sylvia Weinstock wedding cake. Can you stomach it?
When Sarah Mascare�as, a blond, blue-eyed bombshell Yalie (yes, they do exist), first walked into the law offices of Cravath, Swaine and Moore, where she was starting as an associate attorney, she was prepared for a hefty workload and a big paycheck. She wasn’t prepared for Doğan Perese, also an associate and a dreamy, dark-haired Harvard grad (yes, those exist too!) who couldn�t stop staring at her.
No, wait.. it’s not done. Now scroll down to -
The date was arranged for Gramercy Tavern at 8, but at midnight, the two lusty legals were just leaving the office.
Congratulations Dogan and Sarah… you’ve succeded in shocking half of Manhattan.

Because everyone else is giving their two cents about the birth of Angelina and Brad’s baby, I thought I would take a different route from everyone else when I said my piece. I wouldn’t “ooh” and “ahhh” over the fact reports state Shiloh has “tufts of Angelina’s hair” or has a nose resembling Brad’s.
I’ll instead focus on two things showing up in the papers which are starting to annoy me. (It also happened when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had their baby.)
1. Insensitive comments -
Jon Voight’s (Angelina’s dad) comment takes the cake.
“His spokesman told America’s New York Times newspaper that Voight is excited and “can’t wait to hold the baby in his arms and be a grandpa”.”
So Maddox and Zahara aren’t considered his grandchildren? And before you say, well… Shiloh is her first “real” child… please just move far away from me so I don’t have to sting you a look of death from my “runaway bride” eyes. Shiloh is Brad and Angelina’s youngest child. They have three children — Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.
2. Boston Herald
The “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” co-stars holed up in Namibia with their two adopted children, Maddox, 4 and Zaharah, 1, before the birth of Shiloh to avoid being the center of media attention.
First… they couldn’t have been just staying in Namibia with their two other children? “Holed up” is the phrase to use because I guess a luxury resort usually dredges up “holed up” thoughts. Somehow I don’t think people who stay two months at the Four Seasons on South Doheny are said to be “holed up”.
And secondly, why do reporters have to constantly focus on the fact Angelina and Brad’s first two children are adopted? Most of the articles are mentioning that fact in the articles they are running about the birth of Baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.
Why make Maddox and Zahara feel different? As far as I know .. adopted children need to be picked up from soccer practice and want their parents to read them bedtimes stories, too. Couldn’t any of the papers just say they were staying at the resort with their other children for the past 2 months while they awaited the arrival of Shiloh? I can’t pick an adopted child out of a group of children playing at the playground so why must everyone constantly brand them “adopted” instead of just dropping the word and just saying children?
You really just have to laugh at society sometimes. It can be so warped and cruel. Welcome to our world Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, it sure is something.

I�ve been getting a lot of fan mail for Lukie (my son Luke has a few nicknames from his mama as you can tell. And Mama is Nat’s name for me.) because recently he’s been doing mama a big favor and allowing me to use him to demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag by Parents of Invention which is a kicka$$ invention � come on, I mean, it’s great to have a diaper bag and a child carrier all in one right? I am getting off track, if you want to see my Sidekick diaper bag review, just read my review by clicking here.
Anyway I was the first media person and mom product review writer to show the Sidekick on TV and online. (Once again, another Savvy Mommy exclusive. lol)
But back to Luke.
In the past two weeks, quiet Mister Luke was on NBC, CBS and tomorrow will be on The WB helping me demonstrate the Sidekick diaper bag.
And he has always been very quiet on air. The second we go to commercial he starts talking to the anchor. It’s really funny. As soon as the segment airs, emails start coming in about him. They even came in when he was recently in Parents magazine with his sister. And honestly, they are a little overwhelming so here are my answers to the most common questions for Luke -
Was the television segment I saw today Luke’s first appearance on TV?
No, Luke’s debut television appearance was on FOX the day he turned six months old. He was helping my friend Jess who needed another baby to model one of her “My Mom is Hotter than Your Mom” baby tees.
Does Luke have an agent?
No, Luke does not have an agent and we are not looking for one. His sister doesn’t have one either. Neither does his mother.
Is Luke’s hair naturally that curly? How do you get Luke’s hair like that?
His hair is naturally like that. It has never been cut and I don’t plan to cut it right now. His hair is full of curls, really small neat ones in the back and a mess of them in the front.
What shirt was he wearing?
On NBC he wore an “I will walk when I’m good and ready” tee shirt from Honest Baby .
On CBS he wore a light blue Baby Energy shirt.
