Felicity Huffman is the youngest of eight children. By the time she came along her mother had run out of family names (there are 2 Jessie’s, 3 Grace’s, 2 Jane’s, 3 Moore’s, and the list continues), so she was called “Flicka”. The name “Felicity” was added as an afterthought because you can’t go around life with a nickname if you don’t have the original name to get the “nick” from. In March of 2012 she launched Whattheflicka.com as a virtual kitchen counter, where mothers and women could “sit” around, sharing stories, trading advice, laughing, crying, and telling their truths with no fear of judgment. Felicity is an actress and mom whose favorite things are taking naps, hanging with her sisters (both literal and soul), and mornings in bed with her family.
March 1st marked the one year anniversary of WTF. We have a cool new design, we have kick-ass contributors and our community is growing. So I thought maybe we needed something grown up, like a mission statement. But that sounded scary and beyond my capabilities; I think only people who wear suits can write mission statements. So, as I sit here, still in my PJ’s after driving my kids to school, I thought I would write a little back story about the impetus for WTF. Read More
As I was writing this blog, I passed every asshole test with flying colors, which led me to the awful conclusion that;
My name is Felicity and I am an asshole.
My husband and I fight very rarely, but we do fight about the phone. The minute we get in the car together I jump on my cellphone. I email, text, peruse the latest GOOP offering; it seems like the perfect time to get stuff done. I love my smart phone: I would even go so far as to say it is my Read More
It’s the end of Heart Month and my last posting in association with the American Heart Association. Since I learned we should only have ¾ tsp of salt every day and only 6 tsp of sugar every day (men can have 9 tsp – unfair!), and since sugar and salt are in everything, I have actually been Read More

As we all know (and the American Heart Association reminds us) one of the best things you can do for your heart is to incorporate a healthy diet into your lifestyle. To write that sentence is easy, to actually do it, is more challenging. Read More
When I turned fifty, a scant 2 months ago, I realized I wanted to start measuring my life in decades, not years. I didn’t need the usual birthday resolution, “Before I turn 51, I want to have…” I wanted the new-decade resolution, “When I turn 60 I want to have accomplished…” Obviously, as I get older time goes by so damn fast that 10 years is the equivalent of 1 year.
