Wordless Wednesday Palm Beach Edition

One Fabulous Mom Interview With Katie Stern

Katie Mason Stern is a great friend and total go getter. She inspires me so much that I just had to interview her!! Katie became an agent with APA in 1993, where she developed an eye for finding young talent.  She often traveled to film festivals, where she discovered talents such as Hilary Swank, Amy Smart, Jamie Kennedy, Jacinda Barrett, and Rose McGowan.

Currently, Katie can be found as a Talent/Brand manager at Luber Roklin Entertainment, with talented clients such as Kelly Rutherford, Elisabeth Rohm, Ally Walker, Denise Richards, Rosa Blasi, and others. 

 Katie resides in Los Angeles with her family—her husband, her four year-old son Oliver, and a baby girl on the way.  






1. How would you describe yourself?
 

Dynamic, funny - need a sense of humor in this lifetime! Loyal, driven, a good friend, family oriented, styled, well traveled and happy!


2. How do you continue to follow your passions and dreams while being a mom?

I am a better mom, wife and manager because of the balance I am so lucky to have found.  My family gives me the freedom, encouragement and support that I can do anything and never hold me back from a great opportunity.  It is that feeling of total support.


3. How has motherhood changed you?

It took the focus off of ME making me a much more selfless person.  It brought out a nurturing, maternal side immediately the day my son was born.  I am a strong woman but have become a total mush ball with my son Oliver.


4. What do you do for yourself so that you can still be Fabulous?

Laugh everyday, spas, nature walks, a good book and high teas at hotels with friends!

5. What is the best mom advice you’ve ever gotten?

To take that map you had planned out for your child and throw it in the trash!  See where your childs interests lie and help nurture, guide  and support their interests not yours.

6. What are your top five Fabulous must haves?

Love and family, my glass of wine, my assistant, the book The wisdom of Florence Schinn, and anything Chanel and Hermes!


7. Complete this sentence: Being....Makes me One Fabulous Mom.

Being Resilient……makes me One Fabulous Mom.

Thanks Katie!!

Thanksgiving Recap!

We flew to Palm Beach, two kids, two flights

We arrived in the dead, and I mean dead of night


Rental car snafu, kids still smiled

Woke up to weather that was worth all those miles

Beaching, golfing, tennis, rollerblading

Best colors are seen when the sun is fading


Kids were good, but we are tired

Next time a nanny in palm beach will be hired!

Palm Beach- Dinner With College Besties and a House Tour!

The Mr. and I were lucky enough to get to spend time with besties Rye and SHP and their mates for dinner the other night. We had the grandparents babysit and we ran for the door! Imagine my surprise when I saw Rye's condo. I thought HGTV had designed it! UNBELIEVABLE.

She had me at hello with the entry way. A tear literally shot out of my eye when I saw the gorgeousness. Rye is a big fan of the high low decorating, mixing expensive worth while pieces she finds at consignment stores and had refinished. I saw several things she had done and could not tell which was which!

I'm sleeping here next time.

 Loved the kitchen, and busy cooking the best meal ever was SHP. 

Food was so good Rye's Mom had to come and try!

The table was set so beautifully! And at each persons place was a question.  What a great idea! Great conversation starter!






A fabulous time all around!
