Linda Lavin played my mom on Conrad Bloom. While the show was sort of forgettable (sorry!!) she was not. She was hilarious and fun and frank and funny. She was just so funny. May she Rest in Pease.
Not sure what season this is from, but I’ve always loved this picture. As we near the end of season 6, I’m trying to soak in every last moment filming a show that I love with people I adore. Leaving Los Angeles with so much heartbreak is not easy, but as they say, the show must go on. I’ll continue to share resources to help those in need, and I’ll be back soon, ready to help the city I love put itself back together again.
As you all know, I’ve been out of town a lot this year, and the only reason I can go anywhere at all is because of @cobybrownmusic. He’s been holding down the fort like a boss. Managing the house, two kids at two different schools (iykyk) and an incredibly needy dog. Our son plays on two baseball teams and a club soccer team, which means practice or a game six days a week. Our daughter also plays a school sport and is a teenager with a healthy social life. Our incredibly needy dog has a sensitive belly, so he needs his food home made by us or he ends up at the vet. Shoutout to @bigskunks for the recipe. Laundry has to get done, lunches made, bedtime stories read, homework looked over. I returned home from Canada on the eve of Winter Solstice, ready to take over the duties and give him a break, but immediately came down with the stomach flu. As I come out the other side (no pun intended) I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Having a partner that not only supports me leaving the country constantly, he does it with such grace that I don’t have to worry about what’s going on at home. He just handles it. So this post is a shoutout to my husband, Coby, who will be getting a few extra presents under the tree this year. Lord knows he deserves them. Love you, babe. ❤️ 📷 @ltstillpix
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 🎄 *this picture is not from this season of #thehandmaidstale so everyone stay calm.

I’ve always loved referring to LA as the City of Angels, and right now, we need them more than ever. If you believe in prayer, let us pray. If you are in a position to donate, do it. If you can house friends or animals, open your doors. If you have time, volunteer. I am offering furniture and kid’s clothing at the moment, and I’m sure my list will grow. Praying for Los Angeles and sending all the love in my heart to every single person this fire has touched. #ilovela

Taylor Swift Saturday right into Maple Leafs Sunday. It’s been a pretty epic 24 hours in Toronto (and yes, that’s my kid on the Jumbotron). Special thank you to @sophieflack for my Tortured @madfinejewelry that I will be wearing forever and ever. #mapleleafs #toronto #torontomapleleafs #aboutlastnight #taylorswift @mapleleafs @taylorswift

Last night for about two hours, we watched a little league game, and I felt calm for the first time since these fires started. I’m not calm anymore, but I am really trying to lean into gratitude, and things that make me feel “good” even if it’s just for a moment. So far, gathering donations and trying to be of service are at the top of the list of things that bring my broken heart back to its resting rate. This is unimaginable. I’m sad, and I’m scared, and I’m doing the best that I can. We have a dining room full of boys 6-8 clothes, men’s shirts, tons of gently used Patagonia jackets, and a teen girl items. Hit me up if you want to come over and make a bag for you or someone you love. Thank you @losangelesfiredepartment and @ladwp1 thank you for restoring our power in record time this morning. ❤️🩹 #ilovela #cityofangels
As everyone shares their year end music lists, I thought I would take the opportunity to share my year end reading list. At the end of 2023, I realized that I’d finished more movies than books, and I resolved to change that. I decided to start a book group (which I like to call our Resolution Book Group, but our text thread is “Book Bitches”) and to read at least a book a month. I’m proud to say that I’ve lapped that goal, and devoured some incredible novels and memoirs. Full disclosure; James and The Friday Afternoon Club are my December reads, but I wanted to share this list in case anyone else out there feels inspired to watch a little less and read a little more. The books are piled in my reading order, and the * means it was part of our book group list. The Vaster Wilds @legroff * Hits, Flops and Other Illusions @ed_zwick_official Age of Vice @deeptikp * Shark Heart @emilyhabeck * Monogamy @suemillerwriter * We Run the Tides @vendelavida * Before We Were Innocent @ellamberman I’m Glad My Mom Died @jennnettemccurdy The Flamethrowers @realrachelkushner * Wellness #NathanHill Tom Lake #AnnPatchett Hamnet @maggieofarrellofficial Tomorrow, & Tomorrow, & Tomorrow @gabriellezevin * All Fours @mirandajuly * Three Women @lisadtaddeo * Martyr! @kavehakbar.kavehakbar Intermezzo @sallyrooneyofficial * The Women @kristinhannahauthor Long Island Compromise @taffyakner The Mighty Red #louiseerdrich * James #percivaleverett * The Friday Afternoon Club @griffindunne #bookgroup #bookbitches #readmore

@MelindaFrenchGates’ organization @Pivotal_Ventures is matching donations to Vote Mama Foundation @VoteMamaLobby up to a total of $500,000 over the next 8 days and I am here for it!!! 👏👏👏 Less than 7% of our congressional representatives are moms with minor children–because moms face unique barriers to elected office. Vote Mama Foundation is building the political power of moms by identifying and tearing down the structural barriers moms face running for and serving in elected office.
