The Top Baby Name Trends of 2023
In the recent spate of creative baby naming, there are now infinite options to choose from. While this abundance of endless options is amazing, it can feel a little overwhelming for the modern parent to name their child.

5 Baby Name Themes Making a Comeback
Between my mother, Amy Ephron, my sister, Maia Wapnick, and myself, we have seven children (eight if you count Amy, who is a kid at heart and refuses to be called the dreaded G word by our children and is lovingly referred to as The Duchess.) As mothers, and as writers who love to find out the story behind everything, we know that naming a baby comes with a certain amount of pressure.

Bagels and Larry King
Larry King is my spirit animal. When my brother and I were at El Rodeo Middle School and Beverly Hills High School, respectively, we would often ditch our morning classes and go instead for lox and bagels at Nate & Al’s. If we saw Larry King, we knew it would be a good day. Don’t tell my Mom we ditched, although I’m sure deep down she would have approved. Nate & Al’s was a Concord jet to New York in the middle of Beverly Drive.
Does Your Cell Phone Believe in Ghosts?
Someone wise once told me that ’shoulds’ lead to anger, and that if I ever found myself experiencing irrational irritation or annoyance I should look for ways I’ve decided someone or some thing ‘should’ be behaving, then decide if that ‘should’ is rational. This has proven a very useful technique for me, since I can pretty much chronicle my life through a series of frustrations with how the world behaves, in contrast to the way it behaves in my fantasies.
The 12 Best Runs In Los Angeles
George Sheehan wrote, in his 1978 book Running and Being, "When I get that look in my eye that's says I'm going 'away,' do me a favor. Let me go."

Here are twelve of Los Angeles' best runs. Ray Miller Trail is located off Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and well worth the drive out.

Here are eleven of our favorite classic—and quintessentially L.A.—dishes from across the city.
Why, as a Young Mother, I'm Voting for Hillary Clinton
My seven-week-old daughter is in the crux of my left arm as I write this. As a new mom, my notions of feminism are being tested. I am home on maternity leave, gratefully, but I am acting out a gender role I didn’t expect. Sometimes I feel like I have lost my voice. As a writer, it’s making me feel disconnected.
The Malibu Fish Market
My mother used to tell me she would drive to Malibu several times a week. She wouldn't stop there, just drive there and back. To relax…to write in her head...to figure things out. She doesn't do it anymore, because of the price of gas, it's wasteful...but every once in awhile I'll wake up early and do the drive myself...watching the coastline as I speed by...I'd pay more for a movie... When my parents first split up they weren't exactly on the best of terms. My time was divided.
