Mommy The Explorer




I always begin my mornings with a visit to my very first blog love ever, coolmom.com; one of my favorite favorite blogs. When I saw this video here over there today, I knew I had to repost it here. When I asked Daphne about it, she said "repost away!" And so I have. "Daphne the Explorer" is my first bloggy friend Daphne Brogdon, her blog is coolmom. Daphne was my first friend on the internet, and she helped me through a tough year. She is beautiful, very funny, kind and down to earth.

Daphne is a stand up comedian, and also hosts TV Guide Channel's weekly series The Fashion Team. She is married to the fantastic Chef, Mark Peel. Mark is one of the chefs that L.A. takes pride in calling their own. He has appeared on Top Chef, and Good Bite. When Mark's latest cookbook, "New Classic Family Dinners" was released and I purchased it, he signed a copy for me. Mark is executive chef/owner of Campanile Restaurant in L.A and co-founder of La Brea Bakery.

I know you'll find this as funny as I did. Thanks, Daphne!!! You're my girl. And I truly do love this one!

  4. Thanks for the introduction to a brilliant blog. There's nothing I love more than funny women! Well, I'm fond of funny men, too - but funny women are right up there.

  6. Oh my, I literally just wrote about something similar - I am most definitely having one of those days!! That is too funny and I have to say that her little boy was PERFECT! (That *is* her boy and not a child actor, right?) I love how he giggles at all the right moments and at the end drops his little tangerine piece, LOL!

    You never forget your first internet friend ;-)

  10. Alexandra I love your blog!! When did you start it? You are my online friend too honey. I'm so glad your readers enjoyed the vid. When I had my own improv group we worked in genres and it's one of my favorite things to do. I think I will do more of that at cool mom.

  12. Ha! My favorite part of the morning is also the coffee. Folgers was wrong - it's not the best part of waking up. It's the ONLY way you CAN wake up.

    I just got home from school about an hour ago and did I ever pick the right blog to come to for some humor before bedtime. This is hilarious. What a wonderful first blogging bud to have. The little boy is precious...I love his laugh.

  24. Oh we have all had days like that - I often find my keys left somewhere in the garage because any time I exit either front or back door I take them with me to ensure I don't (ever again) get locked out, then forget about them while doing whatever I am going and leave them outside
