I wish, I wish with all my heart that J.Lo didn't name her babies Max and Emme in a land apart



I imagine the pressure is high if you are a celebrity and you are naming a child. The world will scrutinize, criticize, either love it or hate it. That is why, if you are a celebrity, every care should be taken to ensure that you are not naming your children after the Hispanic brother and sister duo on a popular PBSkids show.

That is sooooo funny. I can't believe I didn't catch that. Milo goes around saying that phrase all day. At least she didn't name them Zack and Wheezy.

She did NOT.

Oh, well. I think maybe I should just be happy that they are normal names, not, you know, Audio Science or anything.

Oh that's bad. Did she do it knowingly, or obliviously?

I've been waiting to hear what she was going to name them - that's a hilarious observation and those kids are gonna be freaked when they watch Dragon Tales, wondering when the dragons are gonna show up.

The spelling in not the same at all and once you change a letter the name becomes new and original.

Hey Emily,
This post really makes me feel old. I have never heard of Max and Emmy!

that's funny, maybe PBS paid her big bucks to do it, she's all about capitalizing on a good money making opportunity!

Is J.Lo known for thinking through her major life decisions?

Despite their PBS fame, at least they are cute names!

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...

First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
