Grandsmotherer Bevy? Watch Tonight’s Emotional Goldbergs Episode

If you’re an 80s kid or you just like a good sitcom, chances are you’ve watching The Goldbergs. I’ve seen every episode since the show started, and it’s truly one of the most clever depictions of family life I’ve watched. Things have changed a lot for the quintessential 80s family this past couple of seasons, and tonight’s emotional Goldbergs episode will have every mom or mom-to-be out there in a puddle….in between solid laughs and relatable moments.

If you haven’t watched any of the show before, here’s a brief clip of a recent episode featuring David Hasselhoff. You don’t get much more 80s than him, right?

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of prescreening tonight’s episode, “Uncle-Ing”, and attending a Q&A with two of the main cast members, Wendi Mclendon-Covey and Hayley Orrantia. Wendi plays Bevy, the mother — or smotherer, as some of her schmoopies refer to her. (And if you haven’t watched, she refers to her kids individually as Schmoopie when she’s showing them affection…which is a LOT.)

This season, Erica, Bevy’s oldest child, is pregnant, after getting married last season in a beautiful episode that was typical Goldbergs — funny yet hitting on notes that we can all relate to. The show, now in it’s 10th season, is based on actual video footage that the youngest Goldberg, Adam, takes as he grows up, and most episodes end with real footage that he took. It’s brilliant.

Both Wendi and Hayley were so fun during the Q&A. Wendi rolled with a light outage on her end without missing a beat, and they were both so kind and open. (And I personally loved that they liked my blog name!) I got to thank them both for their parts in the show, and to express my own reactions to the episode; after it airs, I’ll come back here and update. No spoilers — you’ll need to watch! I will say this though: if you’re a mom, you will have all the feels tonight. All of them.

THE GOLDBERGS – Uncle-ing – With her due date approaching, Erica is over the exhausting pregnancy and demands a babymoon. When things take an unforeseen turn, Geoff is tasked with producing the one person Erica needs more than anyone. Meanwhile, Adam and Barry seek out advice on “uncle-ing” from some unexpected sources on an all-new episode of The Goldbergs, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19 (8:30-9:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (ABC/Scott Everett White) KEN LERNER, MINDY STERLING, SAM LERNER, HAYLEY ORRANTIA, WENDI MCLENDON-COVEY, DAN FOGLER

Hayley has played Erica since day one, and her role thus far has had her playing a young teen, slightly rebellious as she grows into a college student who drops out to start a band. Then she marries Jeff, her longtime boyfriend, who comes with his own set of slightly clingy and overly-involved parents. Erica has an amazing voice (you may know Hayley from her country music singing talent) and she turns down the opportunity to sing backup for a major singer to stay home with him rather than do a long tour stint. Last season ended with her announcing her pregnancy, and we all knew that it would come with a lot of Bevy love and drama.

I had the chance to ask Erica which of her many personas she enjoyed the most, or as she termed it “Erica eras.” (Perfect word for it!) She’s had so many crazy and adorable moments on the show, but she said that what’s to come might be her favorite yet — juggling motherhood with working mom. I cannot wait to see how that happens! Wendi shared that Bevy, who recently is a widow on the show (due to the actor who played Murray, her husband, leaving between seasons) is going to be babysitting and learning a new way to go about life as she faces being a grandmother while being a widow and finding her way.

Sniff.

Wendi and Erica were asked a lot of great questions, but I got a kick out of Wendi’s response when asked if she had crazy stories about any of her own aunts and/or uncles doing crazy things with her as a child. She mentioned that some of them would them her up in the air as an infant, but the best part is when she touched on the point that aunts and uncles are the ones who can do those crazy things and get away with it! I think my kids can relate to that…and as a grandmother myself, I laugh because I can give the baby a piece of chocolate and leave, or buy the baby an outrageous gift that my daughter may not appreciate. Like drums. Or like TWO drum sets for the baby’s first birthday. True story.

Also, Wendi’s tips on what to do when you’re a young mother were clever and witty, with this one particular one standout: Make friends with baby wipes, because you’re not going to get a shower. Spot on!

One of the best questions that I love to ask, or to see someone else ask, is what is the on-set dynamic like? What’s it like for everyone to work together?

“I don’t want to say we’ve become the bad kids in the class, but we kind of have a little bit. I love these people. I love them. I really feel like they are family now, and it makes it a pleasure to come to work…this is my second family.” — Wendi

“I don’t know what life is going to look like without being here on set with everyone…we have so much fun together.” — Hayley

None of that surprises me a bit, because the camaraderie between these two showed in just our brief time together. I am really excited for everyone else to see tonight’s episode, because the love they have for each other really does transcend onto the screen, and nothing shows it more than a scene about a parent’s ever-present love for their child…or a Schmoopy.

Thank you, Hayley, Wendi and ABC for the fun screening and Q&A!

Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversa Disneyland Paris is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and walking through the gates for our first visit was amazing. Also amazing: the Phantom Mansion. It has a lot of similarities to our Haunted Mansion here in California, but with a scarier spin. And for those who frequent the HM here in Anaheim, you know how often it stops mid-ride. This one didn’t stop once! It also creeped me out, and I LOVED it. The outside has shades of the Bates Motel and doesn’t have the cute factor of Disneyland California. Newer and more cleanly laid out, this whole park is pretty amazing. More info coming here and on the blog soon. Still gathering photos and putting away/distributing souvenirs.

A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream A day in the French countryside is the stuff dream vacations are made of. We drove two hours to Chablis, with new friends from Austin (private tour groups are the best!) and visited several wineries. Full confession: we tapped out early. ALL of us. So much wine. I should be embarrassed by that…maybe…but I’m not. We had an amazing French cuisine me lunch mid-day, where we enjoyed more wine. I’ll share lunch photos later. 

You save and plan so much for international travel, you need to try and relax and enjoy it. Not always easy, especially if your tour guide is sleepy or there are protests blocking the airport entry the day before you leave, but this pic kind of exemplifies our adventure. Go as far as you can. Do things you love. Be silly. And appreciate your partner’s goofy photo poses. 😆 Most of all, have fun. And drink wine.

That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday That time, not long ago, that I spent my birthday feeding the giraffes. Bucket list ✅

Do the things you dream of. Wear the silly ears. Giggle like a kid. 

Life is way too short. There are only so many days to do all those things you’ve wanted to do. Make those memories. 

And feed the giraffes. This event is a private add-on when you visit the park. Reservations are required in advance. Worth every single penny….and I can’t wait to do it again.

Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif Shuri was out on a walk with Dad, but for Lady Sif, patience is a work in progress. This is how our goofy but lovable big girl waited for her turn.

And yes, kids grow up so we dote on the pups now. Why not? Lots of rescues available out there waiting for forever homes!

The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After The recipe for that deliciousness is below! After an overindulgent holiday season…and a whole lot of excuses…I’ve finally been working on adding more protein into my diet to drop a few pounds before we head to Paris next week. One of my favorite meals — or meal replacement, call it what you will — is a protein shake. They can be made in so many ways, all depending on what basics you have on hand. I try to keep mine simple, using whatever fruit I have in the drawer. Right now, thanks to Melissa’s Produce, I have Ojai Pixie tangerines to enjoy, so I decided to craft a super easy protein smoothie. I feel full, it gives me a protein boost and I only have to clean out the blender. Easy peasy.

Ojai Pixie Protein Smoothie

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup ice
1 scoop of protein powder
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk 
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Ojai Pixies tangerines, peeled and sectioned

Blend in a powerful blender and serve with a fatty straw. If you don’t puree it, you’ll have some little chunks of citrus that will clog a regular straw, but for me, that makes it even better. 

Thick, cold, chunky, tangy citrus perfection. Grab some Ojai Pixie Tangerines soon! They’re only available through early June!

So you may have heard about a little storm that hi So you may have heard about a little storm that hit Southern California this past week. For the first time in the ten years in our house here in the foothills of the Inland Empire, our grass was covered in big, fat white chunks of snow. And it was amazing. As you can see, Lady Sif loved it. She was trying to catch the, uhm, flakes…she rolled around and kept staring at the sky. I mean, who wasn’t? This was crazy. 

It posed a few problems. People here can barely drive in the rain. Our roads aren’t built for this much wet, and potholes were popping up everywhere. One drop of rain and people slow down, but snow was a beautiful distraction…so you see where I’m going. 

We may start to dry out after today. It’s sunny and there’s this blue in the sky that I’ve forgotten about, it’s been so long. But, it was hailing an hour ago and my backyard is still a mini-pond which the dogs will do anything to avoid when they have to go potty…which they put off as long as they can.

We’re from NY, so we’re not new to snow. We’re just acclimated to a climate that has us much more prepared for 100+ degree weather, not this constant low 40s. The layers of clothes, the hot showers and the extra blankets are getting old. Here’s to spring.
