TORI
Why can't men just cuddle?
Tue June 9
Sex is a funny thing... Men and women have such different reactions to the notion of a healthy and alive sexual relationship. Dean and I have a very healthy and alive sex life. Let having two babies in two years show that to be true! But Dean always seems to refer to the "sex we used to have". Ok, it's true... When men and women start a relationship they have over the top sex. Sex records that one could never be expected to maintain or top over a lifetime. It's unrealistic. I guess it's instinct... We meet... We have sex... We have lots of sex... Good sex... And then bam, deem that partner worthy of spending the rest of our lives with. But, once that mate selection is made the sex life does seem to slow down a bit. That's just life. If we had start-up sex forever we would never get anything accomplished in life. Start-up sex would be our career, life, partner, and hobby all in one. So, in my opinion (and I'm a woman talking)... We get our crazy sex out of the way first and then settle into what I deem a healthy, active sexual relationship.

Many thanks for this amazing informative information. Often, the best info originate from the places one would not expect. Until now, I decided not to give much thought to commenting on blog posts and have left responses even less. Taking note of your pleasant blog, might encourage me to do so sometimes.
Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
Hi, I was browsing the net and I came across your site. Keep up the great work.
If you're looking to post an RFP I have found an Excellent site for posting your Oytsourcing Projects and Requirements for Free !!
Actually it is on their list, you have to scroll over a few times. I agree most of the time about quality, but when I watch things on my parent's 55" tv I can tell the difference between DVD and Blu-Ray very easily, as the compression artifacts are a lot easier to spot.
This is one technology that I would love to be able to use for myself. It’s definitely a cut above the rest and I can’t wait until my provider has it. Your insight was what I needed. Thanks
Fantastic stuff you've got here. It's a real treat to read.
Are Your Beds Difficult To Assemble? With our frame system, a cast-interlocking dovetail, all that you need is a hammer to set the frame. It is a drop in friction fit; there are no bolts or screws involved. It is easy to assemble and disassemble.
Fresh content, nice layout. Love the blog.
In motorcycling's pecking order, scooters are seemingly on the bottom rung!This rampant "scooterism" has a sure-fire cure when riding the 650 Burgman hit the power button and nail it the millisecond the lights go green.The get-up-and-go of the Burgman over the first 50 metres embarrassed a couple of litre-plus bike riders and positively humiliated a Harley Sportster rider who rode through a red light rather than face the Burgman a second time.The "magic button" is conveniently located on the handlebar panel and it aids the Burgman in producing very spirited performance indeed.
Are Adjustable Beds comfortable? Comfort ultimately lies upon the quality mattress you use. Unlike sofa beds, Adjustable Beds are comparable to conventional beds. Our Adjustable Beds will allow for a standard size adjustable mattress up to 11 inches thick for optimum comfort!
If you are flying to a kitemaking event and want to take your machine, I'd advise you to carry it on unless your machine comes with a very good case. While heavy, most Sewing machines easily fit carry-on size restrictions.
How do your beading party workshops compare to a Lia Sophia or Silpada party? This "party" is very different. It is a combination of learning and fun! It is a hands-on workshop where each attendee makes their own jewelry while learning some great techniques and beading skills so they can continue making jewelry on their own after the event.

Thanks for the info, your blog looks great! I have been having trouble keeping up with the Winter Games this season but this really helped me!
A great tester will have a systematic attack to testing that they can implement to any given scenario without hesitancy. The one I got many another moons ago was to do #&@% ent the tests for pulling a can from a lemonade vending machine. I did the total requirements, analysed the testing environment, verified the machine was fit for testing and begun the "tests". Put in too little money, have money repaid, put in precise money, have money given back etc. Then when I did finally push vend, the can got stuck instead of falling to the tray. So I applied the "workaround" of rocking the machine with my shoulder. My report concluded that the machine was sporadically unfit for purpose unless a physio could also be installed in the building to contend with the multiple aching shoulder joints that would result from its execution.
Hey, awesome site! Keep it up! I will be difinatley be coming back in the near future =)
I just couldnt leave your website before saying that I really enjoyed the quality information you offer to your visitors... Will be back often to check up on new stuff you post!
Wow! what an idea ! What a concept ! Beautiful .. Amazing …
I think he's thinking of the fact you can have several window air conditioners, they can be installed individually at any time, and any handy individual could install their own. Not necessarily the best analogy, but there you have it.
Kudos for posting such a useful portal. Your blog was not just informative but also very stimulating too. We come across very few experts who can think to create not so easy articles that creatively. we keep looking for information regarding this subject. I Myself have looked through several websites to find knowhow with respect to this. Keep up the good work !!
Thanks very much for putting together this great site.
Thanks for the informations! Your post actually helped me.
Have you ever thought about supplying more videos to your blog posts to keep the viewers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire do #&@% ent of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a graphic learner, I found that to be more helpful. Either way, thanks for the information.
I'm a little ticked about the outcome of last night's Super Bowl what do you guys think who should've won the colts! or the Saints?
Kudos for creating this post. It is interesting reading.

Older & wiser then you.. lol
Let's face it, he's been married before, I highly doubt he expects it as often as he tries to get it. Eventually he will calm down.
Tell him it is QUALITY and not Quantity.
Are u friken nuts..nobody in their right mind would want to have sex 3 times a day that is rediculous and quite stupid to think a mother of 2 a actress and writer could possibly ever even want to have 3 quickies as u so put it..not to say yuk..yuk..yuk..on that much sex,nobody has that 30 minutes in a day to have sex 3 times a day that 21 times a week not to say how many times that would be a monthjeesh already..put your legs together alreadylol..yuk..not unless u are a hooker and u have to have sex that much..s**t your dam uterus would fall out having sex 21 times a week...LMFAO..u got to be kinding me.
Tori,
Sex is important to a man. But a woman it is more than sex it is talking and listen and romance.
Dean don't seem to fall short in any of them
Tori you are so right i am 17 years old and i just got married. My husband goes to work and works two jobs then when he gets home he wants food and sex every night. I got scared because i thought that was our whole relationship. But my husband reassured me that our relationship is so much more than sex and that made me happy and made me want to give him more. I am truly blessed to be with the love of my life
Hi Tori,
I really love your show and I think you are a wonderful mother.
This is silly, but I LOVE the furniture in your bedroom; the headboard, the armoire, the side tables the chairs, everything. I'm redecorating my bedroom and the furniture style that you have in your bedroom is exactly what I've been looking for.
I would love to know where you found all that beautiful furniture.
Thanks
if your so into it why are you not giving your name and what liam is always taking a nap when their shooting and not his sister so no i think your the idiot have a peachy day if you can't give up your name then don't open your trap cause you have no balls so shut up and be quite
OMG...was ur comment actually for real? Your a damn idiot! I think Tori's love for her children is not only genuine but shared equally. Grow up...if it bothers u so much then don't watch the show & stop posting such rubbish!
...seriously Sheila, grow up. If u hate Tori's so-called "bitching" then don't watch the show & get off her damn back.
Love the show and your family. Really like who you are,tori you an awesome person and look amazing. Good luck with your career and family. Going to buy your books sooon.
Love the show and love you TOri. Can someone please answer this question. You just moved into your first house at the end of season 1 and now you are moving again into a new home. Why? You never explain the details on why you would move twice in less than a year.....
I love the show and the way you parent your children,keep up the good work .I was watching the show and liam had a sock monkey ,may I ask were you got it ,my little girl seen it and loved it , I would love to get one for her ,but I don't know were to find them,if you could help,thanks.
ms.kegarise
Tori you are an amazing mom, being a mom of 2 it is truely hard to split your time between both kids and work. I work 3 jobs and my favorite thing to do is be with my kids. Someone commented on your pic with just Stella well I like taking pics with each one of my kids because I like to remind them that are indivuals and I love them seprate and indivually.I really like your show. I know this sounds silly I love your headboard in your room and Liams wallpaper could you tell me where I could look to find fun wall paers and headboards. Keep up being a great person, mom and wife. I think the relationship you and Dean have is incredible.
Tori - I 've been reading ur blogs and some girls or people are absoutley sick and disturbed !!! To say u play favorites??? I wish that person would write me !!! UR A UNBELIEVABLE, FANTASTIC WIFE AND MOTHER. U AND I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH "THE MOTHER THING". NOW I HONESTLY BELIEVE CANDY, (WHY SHE IS NAMED THAT IS BEHOND ME) !! SHE'S A JEALOUS, INSECURE, PERSON, WHO'S ALWAYS INTERVENED BETWEEN U AND UR FATHER. WHY ??? THAT'S HER DAM ISSUE. UR ARE AMAZING !! AND I'VE WATCHED U GROW FROM A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL INTO A STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN !! I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, WHEN I SEE HOW U INTERACT WITH UR CHILDREN. UR A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MOTHER WITH A CAREER. AND U PUT UR HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERYTHING U DO. MOST OF ALL U HAVE THE GREATEST BACKBONE EVER !! DEAN ! U AND DEAN ARE DEFINITELY SOULMATES !! I'M NOT GOING TO B LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AND WRITE DOWN WHY AND WHAT U DID ON EACH EPISODE. I WRITE WHO I THINK AND FEEL ABOUT "TORI" A HUMAN BEING. I TOOK YEARS OF PHYC. AND BESIDES THAT, UR TRUE BLUE !! U TOOK THE BULLS BY THE HORNS AND WENT WITH IT!! U AND DEAN JUST KEEP BEING WHO U ARE !! I'VE "NEVER EVER" WRITTEN IN ABOUT A REALITY SHOW. BUT I FELT AN UNBELIEVABLE CONNECTION WITH U AND DEAN. UR TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL AND SOO CARING. THAT'S WHY U HAVE THE GUNKLES, AND SOO MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS !! I CAN SEE THAT UR A SENSITIVE, GIVING PERSON THAT LOVES TO MAKE EVERYONE AROUND U HAPPY. I LOVE U GUYS. I HOPE THAT WHEN U GET "NEGATIVE" FEEDBACKS, U JUST IGNORE AND KEEP ON BEING URSELF. IF OUR OWN MOTHERS, CAN DO US WRONG, IMAGINE OTHER WOMEN ?? SCREW THEM TORI, JUST U KEEP ON BELIEVING IN URSELF, AND I FEEL UR PAIN WHEN U DISCUSS UR MOTHER. LIKE MINE. THEY R NOT MOTHERS, THEY ONLY BROUGHT US INTO THE WORLD. A MOTHER GOES BEHOND, JUST "THE WORD". I LOVE MY SON, HE'S MY LIFE !! JUST AS UR "LIAN AND STELLA" ! GOD BLESS U TORI AND UR DEAN !AGAIN, UR THE BEST ! FROM MY HEART, I WISH U ALL NOTHING BUT THE BEST OF LOVE, HEALTH AND HAPPINESS !!! U GO GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!
wow!!! Tori I think that you are a wonderful mother....its amazing how you juggle with kids and the acting things.....is it hard bein a actress?????
Tori, WOW first I would like to say how much I enjoy the show. You seem to be a really sensative, honest, sincere and caring wife, mom and friend. I have read the previous blog entries and and have to say "honey, I have your back!" I just don't understand how people judge others without walking in their shoes. We are who we are because of the expierances (positive or negative)in our lives. You hang in there. Children don't come with instructions printed on their bottoms, we all make mistakes as parents. Only YOU and Dean as parents to Liam and Stella know what is best for them and I think your doing a fantastic job. I would also like to say I am married to a Dean also and we both share the same wedding anniversary- May 7th! Just wanted to lift you up a little, keep up the good work. Just got your book today, can't wait to start reading it. Much love to your family from Texas. Susan
You obviously have a big heart, is it big enough for both of your babies? Before Stella, Liam was your world...everything was about him. Since you found out you were having a girl you have been obsessed with being a better mother to Stella than your mom was with you. Why is it different with Liam than Stella? Its heartbreaking to see Liam lose the bond he had with his mommy! Maybe he's heartbroken too! We dont see what goes on in your life 24/7 but the moments on t.v. are enough to see that Liam has been put on the back burner.
I have to say that I agree, when the man you love has to leave for any amount of time part of you is missing. I have been married for 7 years with 2 little ones, and when he is gone I know I've got a long day ahead and I will be alone in my bed. So I completely understand you missing your man. The sex thing, I dont know how guys have such stamina, I wish I could have it to keep up, but after the kids the Sex drive went low, but as I know through 5 brothers, sex is huge and improtant they tell me they connect emotionally with us that way, feel close and it is a must. Also men, when asking for sex do not like our rejections and looks of exhaustion. I've learned alot from my brothers and passed that knowledge to my marriage.
TORI TORI TORI,
Just wanted to say that Liam will come around, my son is now a year old (shares Stella's b-day) and I stayed at home with him for 11 months but my husband fractured his back so I had to go back to work now my little man won't even say MaMa anymore and if he falls he runs to DaDa but I know he loves me but it hurts tooo.... but i do have 3 other children and they are close to both of us. Now about Dean leaving for 5 wks, I know he wasn't going off to war or gonna be gone for 6 months or whatever other people have compared it to but I know that when the person you consider your best friend your partner in crime so to say leaves for even a day it is sad, i understand you wanting him there for everything and you were not trying to put a guilt trip on him. I understand you just wanting him there period. love the show, love all of you!
Ya know Tori, as I sit here and read the comments that are left her I find myself becoming more and more upset.
The people that are here slamming you are doing nothing more than what they are blaming you for (bitching).
Real life consists of women and men both complaing, bitching and take each other for granite....becuase you are a star people feel as if you should PERFECT! Well ya know what people, there is not a human alive that is PERFECT and if you think you are....well take a good look in the mirror and acknowledge your flaws.
Tori anyone worth a grain of salt can see that you truely LOVE your family (Each member equally.
I love the fact that you have the reality show circuit so people can get some sense of family life before they take the plunge and get married and start a family.
You are an inspiration to woman that had a similar childhood as yours, they can see that there is "Normal" life regardless of what type of family you have come from and mostly that obstacles in life can be overcome and you can be HAPPY in your life.
Life is what you make it and you have turned yours around to a HAPPY Fairytale Ending.
Keep up the good work & dont let anything negative anyone says lay heavy on your mind.

Mother of 5 Beautiful Boys (now MEN)
I totally agree. I like the show, but I was mighty annoyed watching tonight when Tori started having a fit about her husband being gone for 5 weeks. Try saying good-bye knowing your husband is going to war. Last time my husband left it ended up being a 14 month tour in Iraq. We have three kids. Military life is not for everyone and we choose to be military spouces knowing our husbands might be gone for anything from a 24 hour shift to up to 18 months at war depending on the branch of the military, but still 5 weeks is nothing especially it is not like he is in danger he is shooting a movie. He might be in another country but not like it is an unsafe country. Suck it up Tori and count your blessings. Just think they could re due the draft and make your husband serve his country in war so be greatfuly he is just in Canada for a movie and only for 5 weeks. You seem like you are pretty tough so you can do it. Remember those who serve!
I'm not as excited as I used to be about watching THE show. It's more like "The Tori Show". Tori, you bitch when things are good, then you bitch when things are bad. DON'T FORGET, YOU HAVE 2 CHILDREN. Although I know we only get to see a portion of your life, but you do not talk about your son except to constantly say "he's going through his terrible twos". And everytime Dean says anything about sex, you call him dirty or bad. Bet you didn't say that when you were having sex with him when he was a married man and you were a married woman. When Dean gets a job, it's like you bitch because he won't be around to handle other things while you are working. Be grateful he wants to work and has the opportunity. Just because you have booked 10 things at one time. The evening after YOUR Winter Wonderland the first thing you said to him on SKPE was you were tired because it ws hard having a party without him. You really can't see the guilt trip there. You can't go to New York w/o him, you were looking forward to going as a family - give him a break. I'm just tired of listening to you bitch.
Dean is the best thing that could have happened to your spoiled little ass so you need to grow up and stop trying to make Dean feel guilty everytime he's not literally right by your side. Very few married couples ever get to be together all the time. So pay attention to BOTH of your men and STOP BITCHING.
You totally need to chill out. There may be a reason why Liam is not in the photo's with Tori. Is there the slightest chance that he could have been taking a nap. I am the mother of 2 and I don't love one more than the other. I often tell stories about one and not the other because one may be doing more that week.
Tori- I really like your show and make a point to watch it each week. I have to be honest, however, I was really annoyed about you crying over Dean going to Calgary for 5 weeks and you being left with the kids and working. I have no sympathy at all. I am a working mother of two boys, ages 4 and 2, and my husband is in the military and he goes overseas every 6 months for 6 months at a time... oh, and I don't have a nanny. Please be grateful that Dean is only gone for 5 weeks and that he is in a safe place.
Tori, I have just discovered your's and Dean's Show and I love it! I can't believe you have to deal with the paparatzi and then let cameras into your home but I am so glad you do!!! I think your family is beautiful and your circle of close friends are amazing. I have learned that fame isn't all its cracked up to be from you. Tonight was the snow party episode and I thought it was so awesome for you to share your home with the Ronald McDonald kids. I hope Dean is home by now from Calgary and your family is back together. Best Wishes from Texas and I am looking forward to more!!
I THINK U SUCK AS A MOM TO LIAM YOU PLAY FAVS WHERE WERE THE PICS OF YOU AND LIAM AT YOUR PARTY ALL YOU SHOWED WAS YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER WHY ISN'T LIAM GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU HE IS A VERY GOOD CUTE BOY YOU SHOULD NEVER PLAY FAVS AND YOU DO NEED TO CHANGE IT NOW BEFORE ITS TO LATE AND HE SAYS THE SAME THING ABOUT YOU AS YOU SAY ABOUT YOUR MOTHER YOU HATE THE WAY SHE MAKES YOU FEEL WHEN LIAM LOOKS BACK ON THIS HOW DO YOU THINK HE WILL FEEL WHEN HE SEES YOU ALWAYS WITH HIS SISTER AND NEVER WITH HIM.......... YOU BRAG ABOUT STELLA WHAT ABOUT LIAM????????
Tori, just want to say, you are a great mom! I'm a wee bit older than you, but remember you as a baby yourself. You and Dean are doing a terrific job! My mom raised 7 on her own, it is never easy to work and raise a family. There is never enough time. What is nice is times have changed, and parents now want to be with their kids! You two just keep what you are doing, loving those 2 beauties and loving each other! :)
Tori,
I've been watching since the first season. I like your show, and I have always liked it. However, I am watching right now and I hear you saying you want to work to provide for your kids. YOur kids each have a 10 million dollar trust fund from your mother. In addition, your mother was seeing Liam, and then your book came out. I always believed you when you said you were estranged from your mother because she was a bad parant, yadda yadda. However, since your mother only stopped seeing Liam after your book came out, it gives some credence to her claim that she tries to get in touch with you but is unable to. If you didn't try so hard to discredit your mother, you might be more believable. It isn't she who is bad mouthing you, but the other way around.
The people on this site will come to your aide. They'll say I'm nuts. But they like most people are nit bright enough to look at the facts and make their own decision. They are dependent on the media to tell them what they think.
If it is you, and not your mother. If you are destroying your mother's reputation for some ulterior motive, you should know that what goes around comes around.
Tori - I am a newbie to your show and have thourally enjoyed watching! I just purchased your book over the weekend and its great! Can't wait for your next book to come out..
I'm loving the gold circle pendant that you've been wearing and I'm wondering where I might be able to get something similar? Thanks!!
Tori,
You are being WAY TO HARD ON YOURSELF THIS SEASON. My trainer and I gasped at Dean's comment about, "The Sex We use to have..." That was cold. Tell him, "See this S on my shirt, it is wearing thin" You can be Superwoman only so long and then you burn out.
I have been a fan since the first season and loved how real, open, honest and available you both were to the cameras. I use to see you out in B. Hills at parties 10 yrs ago with friends when I lived out there and the jealousy and gossip that surrounded you was vicious. Sometimes you were drinking a lot and I really felt for you but now you seem to have found the things that truly matter in life.
Dean is soooo goood for your soul. He provides a grounding, real, sensible reality to your world and brings out the HUMAN BEING in you vs. the false labels you use to bear. People now see the Human being you are on the show and have fallen in love with a whole new persona. Try and enjoy the journey and stop being so hard on yourself.
As for your mother, pray for her enlightenment. My minister told me today to write down all the people that piss me off and then...pray for them. Wash your hands clean of your Mom and get some additional private therapy if you need to let go of your expectations/pain to find inner peace. I've lived this so I can walk the talk. It's not theraputic for you to continue to carry these expectations of her. Rather, except her for her limitations, pray for her, and move on vs. dwell in further disappointments. She just doesn't have the Mother Flame or attainment as a human being you do nor the interest to learn.
Peace,

Tori, I have to say that previously I have never been even slightly interested in you. This isn't personal, as I'm sure you know, I don't watch TV or care about anything related to it. I just finished listening to sTori Telling......... I am now your newest FAN! I loved your book! I've been googling you and your family all afternoon!
Thank you for a GREAT audio book - well written and well read.
Where did you get the gold (almost looks like the size of a silver dollar) necklace you wear on the show/
It is perfectly normal. You are so caring Tori. You have such a big heart. It is great how you touch base with fans. Who does this? You are a beautiful and intelligent, unique woman. You are a great mother and an amazing wife. Of course the sex topic is normal. It is a healthy topic and the best men in the world make comments like this. Its adorable and its healthy and like you have mentioned communicating is important. Do not focus on ignorant people, only feel sorry for them. These people are unhappy with their lives and when they are, they turn on your show and see the honest and loving life you lead and only wish to have the same. So they think of ways to control anything and they do this by commenting on your blogs and bashing whatever you say. These people are sad people who need lives like your family. God bless you both!!!! keep living your beautiful life! We will be watching and learning! You teach others who are aware of the world how to communicate, love, and live.
Tori,
I'm so much like you (minus the fame and fortune!). I have a 3- and 4-year-old daughter and son. I also am a writer, writing a book about motherhood, and have no time in the day to do anything. I DVR your show and watch it fragment by fragment normally, because I have to pause it so often. I'm always on my computer or blackberry bold typing out my chapters for my book. It's a hectic life. The only difference with me - I have no help, I'm a single mom of those 2 kids, I just went through a divorce. So, believe me, there are others out there going through the same thing you are, always writing, typing, thinking, being a mom, on the phone with managers and editors...it's a hectic life. I definitely want to say you're an inspiration. If I get too down on the no time and I feel I'm not accomplishing enough, I turn to your show and watch you do it and it gives me hope :)
Love
Tiffany
Like most of the post have already said...your show is fabulous! You are a great couple with so much respect for each other. It is a relief to see a power couple on tv that's not afraid to be real and also let their partner shine! Keep on loving each other and being active parents to Liam and Stella...y'all are doing a fabulous job!!(Yes, I am from Texas!!)
This is for Tori: Don't worry so much about doing things apart making you guys drift apart. If you really love and support each other, a little or even a lot of distance will not change that. I can't be further apart from my husband (distance wise) than I am now and I just feel more in love with him now than ever. Because of his job, we do spend a lot of time apart, but I never worry about us growing apart because we are close no matter where we are. We've been together for 17 years since day one of meeting and married for 12; we have 3 children and we're still in love and close and all that good stuff. So hang in there!
Love, Love, Love the show! Not one episode goes by that I'm not laughing histerically. Your kids are precious and Dean is an awesome husband. Keep up the hard work and dedication, because it show's in everthing ya'll do!
<3
Tori,
I'm so excited! I am a radio personality for Heartbeat Radio for Women (the worlds FIRST 24/7 radio station dedicated to the empowerment and enhancement of women) Tomorrow I get to interview Bill and Scout from your show! Can't wait!
Love your show...you are a REAL person..and you are just lovely.
Keep up the good work and ask the guncles how I did, ok?

To my friend LadyD: I am not resentful of their lives, they have worked very hard for it. And yes, they can complain as much as they want to, it just got very repetitious is all I was saying! I think maybe you need to lighten up, I am entitled to my opinions also! I love Tori and Dean and I said that. The whole leaving his infant daughter is a touchy subject. I wonder if he would've walked away from a biological daughter with his ex? An adoption doesn't usually take place overnight (sometimes it does), so we all know there was planning involved in obtaining this child. He did walk away from her, there is no other way around it. It is painful and it is real, which is what their show is about, reality. I know they don't bring it up for that reason, that's why I brought it up. Just curious to see what would happen, and it brought out your comments. Interesting.....why is it inappropriate to bring it up in this blog? I don't see any rules posted anywhere. What is inappropriate is someone walking away from his daughter. There, I said it. I still like Dean a lot, I just think it showed weak character on his part. Nobody is perfect, certainly not me. But he is in the public eye, like it or not, so there you go. Of course, none of us knows what happened with him and his ex about Lola and probably never will. I just think it's sketchy. Maybe the greatest gift he gave Lola is not being her father, I don't know?
THIS IS A GOOD MESSAGE FOR TORI! :)
Hey there,
I just wanted to try and let you know that when Liam wouldn't give you hugs that it won't last. My son did the same thing to my husband when he was that age. My husband was working a lot and Brian would have nothing to do with him, but it passed and now they are closer than ever!
Tori and Dean
I love to watch your show. I am not a reader but I bought your book and could not put it down, I loved it. As a mother of 2 girls and a grandma of 3 grand sons and 1 grand daughter all I can say about Candy is that she is missing the best part of life. By watching the show it seems like you and Dean have a beautiful relation I hope and pray that it last forever and that the lime light doesn't get in the way. I also think that you both are wonderful parents. Good Luck and keep filming because I really enjoy watching both of you.
A POEM FOR YA TORI AND FAMILY :)
Sugarless Candy:
She calls herself Candy,
But she's bitter,
not sweet.
She obviously can't see,
What a mother
should be.
She's missing out on the lives of
Tori,
Stella
and Liam.
Whatta beautiful family,
She's doesn't derserve to see them.
Tori's finding the strength,
To move on,
without Candy.
She has to be strong,
as she learns from her mother,
To be everything she's NOT,
To Stella and Liam her brother.
Unconditional love,
Without expectations,
A promise she'll keep,
With full dedication.
**********************
I'm a mother to a beautiful 6 1/2 yr old daughter,i also in a different extreme of a way get black sheeped from my mother...but none the less...this ones for you.
Hey DEAN, you spelled Sherrill wrong, it's Cheryl.
OK, now THAT was funny!
Tori,
On the sex after honeymoon period issue:
Last night when I watched the body language of you and Dean talking about the amount of sex after the honeymoon period: My gut instinct told me that this needs to be addressed by you in a positive way for your marriage's sake. Dean's look was one of almost anguish and definitely frustration and sadness over not getting as much sex as he used to from you. Surely you two can fit in time for 3 "quickies" a day - which might amount to a total of 30 minutes a day to keep your marriage safe and intact. You can spare 30 minutes a day, and it will sure make Dean a happier hubby - and, less likely that he will be tempted to stray. I'm only taking the time to give this unsolicited advice because you two are wonderful together - made for each other. I'd hate to see it wither away because you couldn't spare 30 minutes a day to keep Dean happier.
You're a beautiful person, inside and out.
The truth is that I had never been a fan of Tori Spelling but watching Tori and Dean has become an icon in my home because I just love them both. Tori, you are a wonderful human being and I'm impressed. I am definitely now a fan!
Just a quicky...LOL...Just want to say, you guys are amazing parents, and have such a great relationship...as far as i can see anyway :) lol. Your so funny and refreshing to watch, and VERY entertaining. Your babies are beautiful. They are lucky to have such wonderful parents :) Keep up the great work :)
Tori and Dean...
You guys are hilarious and refreshing to watch. I too have two children and it is a daily juggle of guilt between being a productive adult and a great parent. You both give your children and each other unconditional love, affection and attention. I love your show! Tori-you have a natural comedic timing and ability that makes me crack up. Dean-you are the sweetest most attentive guy that clearly adores his wife and kids. Keep loving and everything else comes full circle.
I wanted to tell Tori and Dean that i think it's cute that they call Liam (monkey) I have a 10 yr. old boy that 4 longest time i would call him (monkey or monkey boy) It's just cute.
i really wanted to tell her that. i watch her and deans show all the time. i also record them. i have bought both of her books.
thank you
nikki
Sara, sounds to me like you are jealous!!! WTF woman, don't be all judgemental, with these people are working hard and taking care of their children, (which are adorable) and TORI IS A BEAUTIFUL LADY. That is more than I can say for you. Hateful, B----!
Dean loves her, you can tell, and I can tell you from experience how hard it is to work and raise children plus maintain a healthy marriage.
DON'T WATCH THE SHOW, I'm sure they will not miss you or your imput. Klee
I totally agree with you Cheryl..Liam does need time outs and discipling...it does not make you a bad parent to do this to make your children better people.....I agree also, Tori seems to be whinny more this season than past seasons and why??I thought she liked all the hard work she was doing..but for some reason, this time, it is all her and what she does and Tori,Tori,TOri..Dean works as well and they are a team, and they go thru a lot together as husband and wife. I am not liking the whinning so much from Tori.She has help, Patsy with the kids and she has a husband that helps, what is the problem????
Tori,
I know that your issues with motherhood come from your relationship with your mother. Take it from me, it doesn't pay to worry. I had a terrible relationship with my mother, but like you, I married a wonderful man with a loving family behind him and my life has been changed. I worried and saw some things that I hated because my mother did the same things, but my husband reminded me that "I am NOT my mother!" I have worked the entire time that I have been a mother and my children come home ALL the time and bring my 8 grandchildren to see me. I have a great relationship with all of them dispite the bumps in the road.
You have nothing to worry about. Dean adores you! You have 2 BEAUTIFUL children and with that you have nothing to be concerned about. The more you worry though the more the children will pick up on it. Give Patsy the opportunity to be a grandmother and loving, spiritual influence and enjoy everything you have. Even when the "terrible twos" hit and the kids seem to turn their backs on you, be firm and loving. They will never forget that you loved them enough to teach them right from wrong and allow them to be the people they can potentially become.
As for the sex issue, it never gets any better. After 30 years of being married to a wonderful man, he still wants to have sex every day. Now don't think I'm WAY OLD or anything (we got married at 17), but you are right, women are different in this respect. Just never let it go too long that they loose interest. From what I have seen of Dean looking at you, you could probably go months with a good reason and he would never look anywhere else.
Live life, laugh often, love with all your heart!
T
i absalutley love you and your family i think you guys are funny and great!I have been a fan since "Tori and dean inn love". When I read your book I found myself saying "Oh my god me too" from our personalities to some life experiences we have so much in common. My mother and I have had an up and down relationship forever. I too have a baby girl Victoria and boy Jonathan one is 3 and the other is 2 months old. They are my world and I love them to death. Mother Hood is so amazing, scary, wonderful, and stressful all at the same time. Its great that you are doing this show with your family because so many of us can relate to you and understand what you are going threw.
I refuse to allow this pity of a show to be on my tv for even a second. I do not want some ratings to be mistakingly taken from my house. These has been idiots are jumping on the reality show bandwagon. Tori has the Star Jones look in the neck area. Mabey Dean won't have sex with her because she looks like a foot,...thank god daddy's somebody. I hate that Iam even taking time to be on this site.
Jon, you are so full of anger. It is not appropriate to bash out at someone, especially someone whose shoes you have walked in. That is being a cyberbully.
Tori, I can empathize with you about feeling guilty about leaving your children to work, and I can empathize with you about your Mother. Some mothers have children but cannot love them. I just don't understand how they can do that, but my mother did me dirty for years and years. I spent years trying to get her love. It was to no avail. It is hard, but look at it this way, you learned a valuable lesson on how to love your children, and are a better parent for it. That is a plus to come out all that negativity. Good Luck and your show is nice to watch.
Just a second thought... Maybe I missed it?
How come Mrs Wicked Witch of the West AKA CANDY Does not have a public blog like this? Where all can read...Hmmm You can write to her for only for her to see.
Guess? Cause as you can see by my copy of my letter to her down a few here...

You,Dean,Liam,Stella,Patsy,the Gunkles..are the mose real celebrity family I have ever seen.

From richfield,mn.
Hi Tori,
I don't think I've missed even one of your Oxygen shows!! The emotion you show is so sincere. Dean is the BEST and so are those adorable babies of yours. I am so glad you're happy and busy. I hope your mom comes around one day. It's her loss. Keep entertaining us with all the zany things that go on in your life! My son lives in LA so I'm familiar with the wild days out there!
hi tori,tori i think you are so lucky to have two wonderful chrildren and a husband that loves you!!
i watch your show every time it comes out on tv!!good luck on 90210 and dont be nervious,just remember that you have a loving family at home waiting for you to get there!!
Tori,
I love your show. You have cute little babies. I record your show every week. I think you and your mom needs to make admends. She needs to grow up . I have a mom that is the same way and it is sooo hard to deal with it, I just want her to be more involved in my sons life but she is too busy with everything else. My son doesnt really know her and it takes forever for him to warm up to her. I am thankful for my husbands mom, she is great with my little man. Anyway I hope you guys can work it out,but if not it is her loss and she will reap what she sows. Cant wait to see what happens next week. congrats on 90210
So, with ALL of that out of the way, I'll get to my direct response to the topic at hand: The Differences in a Man's and a Woman's Definition of a Healthy, Active Sex Life After Marriage. I have a slightly different twist on things in my personal life. I am twenty-four and just celebrated my five year wedding anniversary with my thirty-seven year old husband. That's right, there's a THIRTEEN YEAR DIFFERENCE between the two of us. I just had a full hysterectomy, and my husband isn't thrilled with the idea of having children at his age; what I'm getting at is that our marriage doesn't have the complication of two young children to add into the equation, but the age difference has played a bigger part ( alot sooner in the marriage) than I thought it would. For the first few years of our marriage, I was basically the "Dean" of our relationship. I couldn't get enough of my hubby. But, as he got into his mid to late thirties, his libido took a good bit of a nose dive. At first, I thought this was something to do with me (which I almost get the feeling is happening a little to Dean, whether he wants to admit it to Tori, the camaras, or even himself), but I did some research and found that it's a normal happening for men nearing their forties. It just so happened that the junk that went down physically with me, basicially gave me the hormone changes of a pregnant woman who could only care about having sex once every two weeks (most of the time LOL.) So, things worked out nicely. I guess what I'm saying is that it takes a husband and wife time to get into a rhythm. And there's always going to be highs and lows in the bedroom, that why the rest of your relationship has to be strong enough to pull your through those times. I also have a book that I recommend to all couples I deal with in sexual and marital counseling, you might have heard of or even read it; it's called The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. It gives so many couples a new perspective on how to give their mate love the way the mate needs it to be given, not the way you would give it. What that basically means is this: From what you said in your blog, about Dean taking care of getting the kids into bed, giving spontanious foot massages, random dinner making, etc., it seems to me that you "feel his love" most when he does what this book terms as Acts of Service. Or random acts of kindness that are meant to take some of the load off of you. This shows you how much he cares about you. For Dean to put so much importance on your bedroom activities, and the way that I saw him react to you being fitted for your Smallville wardrobe, his "love language" seems to be Physical Touch. Now, mind you, I've only seen ONE EPISODE, so I do suggest that you read the book to get the right "love language diagnosis" for yourselves. This book teaches the readers, and I do suggest that you read it together because it has tiny quizzes to take, that very rarely do spouses "speak" the same love language, and what we as people tend to do, is give love to our spouse in the way we like to receive it. So, for example, you may feel loved when Dean does these little kind things for you, so you'll tend to do little things for him to show your love to him. BUT, if he feels love through physical touch, which doesn't just mean sex, then he's not going to get much out of those little things you're doing for him, because that's not how he feels love. On the flipside, he may feel love through constant touching, kissing, hugging, love making, etc. and therefore he pours it on thick because that's his first instinct to show you the love he feels for you. Again, you may not get as much out of it, because it's not YOUR love language. I do suggest that you read the books yourselves because it really does teach each spouse how to recognize their mate's love language, and how to speak it. It becomes second nature for the two of you after time. After five years of marriage, my husband and I still (on a weekly basis) check in with each other to make sure that we're both doing a good job at speaking one another's love language and making each other feel loved the way we individually need it.
(If you like that book, there are actually "Love Language" books about finding and speaking your children's love languages, too.) They are great!
I also recommend a book that was written for men, but I've found it is an incredible book for women to read, because it lets us gain insight on how men's minds work (the book is written by guys to guys, and is very blunt at points.) It's called Every Man's Battle; it's a Christian based book, and I don't know your religious preferences, so this is just a suggestion. There is also a companion book for women called...you guessed Every Woman's Battle! Ok, I guess anyone looking at this can tell that I did not sleep well this evening, so I did this! Tori and Dean, I don't know if you read these, and to anyone who has read this, I hope that my sleep deprived brain has made sense of all of this and that I haven't made too many grammar and spelling mistakes. Until next time! Kendall C
First off, let me say, blogging is totally out of character for me, but I could definitely see myself getting used to it. I have seen the previews for the past seasons' shows and thought, "That looks cute, and they seem like an adorable couple who are truly in love with one another and who are great parents...but I don't think it's something that I'll ever get into watching." For some reason, I have hit this 'reality tv' stride, and decided that I'd start watching a show that I would normally skip past, and picked this one since the new season's just gotten started. I just watched the show where Tori and Dean head off to Vancouver for the filming of her Smallville episode. I have to tell you, that it only took this one, seemingly mild episode to get me HOOKED. I found the dynamics of the relationships to be represented in such a 'real' light, and that is SOOO refreshing! I don't drool over the gossip websites, magazines, and "news" channels, but I do keep up with the typical little goings on of certain celebrities. I followed the story from a distance, when it broke that Tori and Dean (and I'm just going to say it here) were having an affair. Being raised to believe that having an affair when married is a very wrong thing to do, but also knowing (now that I'm an adult) that people can make mistakes, i.e. marrying someone who is not your soulmate. Now, although I can sit here and say, "They should have waited until the divorce was finalized before they started seeing each other.", no one (religious or not) knows EXACTLY what they would do in the same situation. All that being said, I saw that these two were absolutely thrilled with finding one another. Then, watching them become parents and seeing the great way they've kept as many rumors at bay as possible, by being real and open with the public, even about how it is to go from having anything you want, whenever you want (Tori), to having to rely completely upon themselves and their business savvy, WOW! My respect has just grown and grown for this family. So, it was finally time for me to watch atleast one of these episodes. I loved it! I absolutely adore the way this family has committed to showing both their strong and weak sides, no matter what. And let me tell you something, this is what the public wants!! They want to know that people in Hollywood deal with the same marital, parental, and financial concerns (well, you know what I mean:}) that the vast majority of us do. I think you guys do this wonderfully!
Hi Tori,
Don't know if you even read these, but just wanted to say I am disabled and homebound and so happy to have a great "reality" show to watch later at night! I'm sorry for your past suffering, but believe that you should be proud of yourself for making the best of your strengths and providing for your family and finding happiness. I pray that you and Dean have a great life together with your beautiful babies. And, from one messed-up-relationship-with-family-34-year-old-now-trying-to-figure-things-out-for-myself to another, you're doing a great job being a Mom and will make sure that things turn out differently with your kiddos because you are being responsible and stopping the cycle. I'm sorry that it all got aired out publicly, but you handle life with grace. Keep your chin up and enjoy your loved ones!!
Blessings,
Christina
WOW RACHEL!! I want you on MY side if I'm ever wronged~~~

COPY OF E-MAIL SENT YOU YOUR (BIRTH) MOTHER!
TRIED TO SEND TO ANOTHER ADDRESS BUT DIDN'T GO THRU?
ORIG E-MAIL SENT TO WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST CANDY:
I have wrote to only once before and that was after I read Tori's book, and wasn't impressed with you then.
Now that you have put your own book out & ran to every media outlet around to promote it. as all do..but not quite like you~
1) I would never buy your book and give you a dime of my money! You have plenty and don't even help your Daughter AT ALL! Aaron would be so ashamed of your behavior! I honestly think, as I stated in last e-mail months ago that you and your them convict boyfriend doctored that will somehow? Don't know if you are still with that roach? I don't believe that for a second that Aaron knowing your messed up relationship with Tori would leave it up to you what she may or may not get in the end? (meaning when you drop dead)
He would have made her VERY Comfortable in his own words as he loved her dearly and that just is what made you relationship such as it is! Pure jealously which is BEYOND SICK IN THE HEAD & REALLY TWISTED!
2) You say in the media and interviews you would love to work things out with her.
Ahhhh BS
You are a twisted sick MENTAL NUT CASE TO EVEN SAY: THE REASON AARON DIED IS TORI'S FAULT!!!! OMG WHAT I HEARD THAT...GOOD LORD
HOW DARE YOU THROW THAT ON ANYONE LET ALONE YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!!
I WANTED TO PUNCH YOUR FACE RIGHT THROUGH MY TV SCREEN! BUT YOU ARE WORTH BUYING A NEW TV OVER!
THAT IS REALLY THE MOST SICK AND REALLY BEYOND TWISTED,HURTFUL,DAMAGING & LISTEN now.. "unforgiveable thing you could ever say to anyone let alone you OWN DAUGHTER!!! "
If I was Tori if she wasn't done with you before then and was willing to let you see the children....
YOU SURE WOULD BE KICKED TO THE CURB NOW!!! FOR GOOD~
NO CONTACT AT ALL
WITH TORI
WITH STELLA
WITH LIAM
SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU!
There is a saying with friends who needs enemies?
Well with SO CALLED (BIRTH) MOTHER'S LIKE YOU! WHO NEEDS ENEMIES!

SINCERELY
A STAY A HOME MOM OF 2 LITTLE GIRLS IN NJ
Tori,
I work in an office with a bunch of judgmental females and I find myself sticking up for you. First of all, I'm the boss so we shouldn't be talking about TV during work hours but we do. I think you are hysterical! I had surgery and was in the hospital for 3 days and your first book made the days fly- staples and all! Even demerol couldn't make me fall asleep. I think it is sad re: you and your Mom but I also know you wish it were different. Unfortunately, you get what you get. I don't know her side of the story but I know you turned out great and humble and we know your Dad loved her so she can't be all that bad. She was probably just a bad Mom which makes it soooo frustrating for you cuz it's CRUSHING; everyone wants a great Mom. I'm just glad you don't blame yourself as so many children do. You were just a kid, not your fault. I'm glad your sense of who you are is still there. Your Mom, right or wrong should have nipped this in the bud years ago, when she first felt you two drifting apart in anger. I'm also glad you have Patsy but I could not believe my ears when I heard she lost 3 children in a short period of time last year. I can't imagine! How does she function? I hope she stays close to her grandchildren and family and they aren't far away. She needs them. I KNOW you love her but she needs her family first after what has happened! Hopefully they are not seperated. You my dear are a lovely creature and funny, and articulate and a great Mom. If anyone can juggle it all YOU can. The fact that you were raised with soooo much money in front of your face and then had to make it on your own shows such drive. You can have drive for work and drive for family- your Dad did! If your drive was for material things people would see right through that and not like you. Your drive is to create- plain and simple. I think that is also why you like to be pregnant; you are creating every day! Keep up the good work. Two babies is great, so is three- up to you and God!!! All the best.
Tori do you no first time i got on you blog cool to read cool to respond very easy breezy went to make a comment on jon and kate blogs oh my god to much to go threw to tell kate that she is a ediot and to controling o well its for the best got to looking at her blog and thought o my god i need not say anything people where chewing her up and spiting her out everything i wanted to say was said and then some thanks for making it easy to drop a line or few peace and love keep on keeping on dean please do not use the f word all your children will watch all the episods some day and say dad had a bad pottie mouth please not necessary dude be cool
Sandy is so right. But please be causious. iwent to my family and received neg. But the main thing is that if peace is made or not, you we're a woman by being the first to take that step. By doing so whether she receives what you have to say or not, sets you free from all the pain you are carrying. When I fronted my family, it didn't stop them from doing what they had always done but i walked out of their house at peace, knowing i did the right thing and that is what made it so much easier when I saw them. It doesn't mean we have to continue to be around them. Sometimes we have to put space between us and parents and even children at times in order to have peace in our lives. Make the move. If it looks like it's "being held over your head," you at least know where you stand. If we see you and your mom together, smiling we'll know you are at peace, if we see her "trashing you per say in any way, we'll know she din't receive you trying to make peace. No matter how it goes, know you tried.
Hey Tori....I love you guy's show and I just want to say that you are absolutely right about the sex thing. I have been married to husband 2 years now and I cringe when he even touches me in bed. I love him so much though like you said it's a woman thing. Anyways, I think you work way, way too much and don't take this the wrong way but I really think that Dean needs to be more supportive (job wise) and let you sit back and chill for a minute. Love you babe.
Hi Tori & Dean. Love the show.Watch it ever week. Couldn't wait for the new season. Tori, I think by letting your feeling be known concerning your mom was good. It's a start for healing to come in. I read your mom's book and I see it as a way for her to justfied her actions in what was important in your life. I was a foster child for 7 years and I know pain from family. We, as parents, need to listen when our children talk to us not make excuses for our actions that caused the children (such as you) pain in the first place but we as children need to know that sometimes we as parents do things not meaning to hurt any one. When my mom passed away I spoke at the gathering and said, "For whatever reason she, (my mom) did what she did to me, and all the lies she told, I WILL NOT let it control me or ruin my life. Tori, I am a mother as well as a grandmother. I feel your pain but you must "Let go and let God:" which means give all your hurts and pains to Him. He is bigger than you and He can carry them. Move on with your life, love Dean and your children with all the love you have. Learn from what you received as a child and don't let the pain control you. You take it by the horn as we say in Texas and you control it. It has no room in your life, now or ever. I heard Mrs. Patsy say on this weeks show, and it is so true. "You are a strong woman, stronger than you know." Don't let the haters get you down. They have nothing better to do with there time but find something negative to talk about. Their not happy unless they are stirring up strife. You be the best that you can be and God will do the rest. Ask "momma Patsy." (I love her. Where was she when I needed her. lol.) If you ever need another "mom" I'm here. Give the kids hugs and "take care of Dean's problem, lol lol" Men are such babies aren't they but it's our fault, just ask Dean, he'll tell you. We spoil them and like a sponge they want more. If you say spong on TV and wink I'll know you actually read these. I hope so.
I just read your newest book, Mommywood, and LOVED it so much I read it in under 24 hours! And, I have a 2 1/2 y/o! I just couldnt put it down. You and Dean are so awesome and a great couple and parents. Normal isnt exactly what you probably want to hear, but you both seem to be so normal and I would love to have friends like you. My life would never be dull around you all, thats for sure. You have me howling almost every show! I would love to see a 3rd book, but with your busy life it probably aint whats on your mind right now. I am obsessed with your show and sometimes find myself day dreaming how great it would be to have your life, or be in your life. A big difference from my calm, low-key, boring suburbian life, for sure! LOL So if you are ever in Harrisburg, PA I would love to see you!
Just wanted to let you know that I had brain and neck surgery and was home bound for 4 months. I was not a fan before but I started watching you and you are so real. So I got your books and read them right away. You are so funny, You made me laugh. I felt like I had a friend at home with me when you were on. You made me laugh everyday. You are right, when people give you the chance you are wonderful. You have done a great job with all your accomplishments and should be very proud of yourself. You have become a great person dispite what your mom tried to do to you.
I just wanted you to know that you do have fans out there that are pulling for you. Thanks for helping me and not even knowing it.
Take care and good luck.
I have no idea if you even read these but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your show!! I have three kids ages 5, 2 and 4 months and it is always crazy at our house! You are so funny and you remind me a lot of myself. You always make me laugh and that helps to get me through some rough days!! Keep your chin up because you are doing a great job and you are a wonderful mom!!!
Tori and Dean,
I wanted to say Thank you for your show. This may seem weird but, it makes me feel normal some how. (Not like that.:o)) My husband and I have a 19 month old and she is also starting the terrible two's. It's to the point that I think I'm going crazy. I was convinced that my child was the only one who act's that way. But I see now that it is not just me. That in it self makes me feel so good. I try real hard to be a good mom and sometimes the way she acts and the things that she does just makes me feel horrible. It is nice to have someone going along the same path as me. Well more like blazing the trial.
I think you are both doing a great job as parents and I thank you for the show. It has kept me sane in a time when I feel all alone.
Can't wait for the book!
Dear Blogmaster, I have an overzealos PA who in a moment of poor judgement put my number in the Blog. I am S. A. on the blog. She wrote about scripts for Tori and Dean that she believes in. Yes, I would love them to read them, but please remove my phone number and simply put my agents Diane Hooper- Don Gerler agency, Diane Hooper Agent- Heywood is writer. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If they would like to read, they may request from her. Thank You.
Tori I love your show. I think that you and Dean are doing great with the kids. But I know it's great they you guys have Patsy around. I saw the most recent stuff your mom is putting in the tabloids and I think it's horrific. I can't believe a mother would even say that about their daughter. I think that she should get a life and leave you alone. From the books I've read of yours it doesn't seem like you're missing much. I just really makes me mad. It's like she has nothing else to do but hurt you. I think that you're a wonderful mom and a great person from what I've seen on the show and read in the books. I love your show and both of your books. They were both so funny. I also like the fact that you actually wrote the books instead of having someone else do it. I love Patsy. I'm glad that she's there to help you. I know that you and Dean need it sometimes. I have 2-year-old twins and I wish I had someone like Patsy to help me out. We actually call them monkey too. I'm a big fan of yours. I wasn't really a big fan until your first book came out and then I was stuck. I record all the shows because I'm asleep when they come on. I love the relationship that you and Dean have. I think it's a great loving relationship and I hope that never changes. I think guys do want sex more than us girls. Dean reminds me of my hubby when it comes to that topic. I hope everything you do goes great for you. I think you're an awesome person and you don't care that you're famous. I just think you're all great. I love the kids. They're so cute. I can't wait to see Stella walking around like Liam.
I just read your book sTORI telling and i was already a fan of yours and followed the show on the chance that you get to read this i just want to say that your life and the things you went through really helped me with my own life and finding myself and learning how to deal with the very similiar situations and so for that i just want to say thank you for exsiting and thank you for having all those ups and downs and thank you for meeting Dean cause now i can believe in the fairy-tale again!
Hey Tori and Dean!
I bought two little ladybug hairbows for Stella...How should I get them to you?
XOXO
Danielle (The one you replied to about the book signing) :)
It's called a Bumbo and they have them at Target and Babies "R" Us. They are between $35 and $40, and they are great. I had one for my daughter and used it all the time. I even took it to restaurants! Good Luck!
Hey Tori & Dean! keep up the great job you both are doing in managing your careers and a family, no-one said it was going to be easy. Continue to emotionaly support one another and have faith and understanding you'll be fine. XOXO
NOONE, Tells you when you get marrige that the sex stop. Forget about when the children come along , your too tired to have sex.................So dont get married it not worth it.................Single life you can #&@% who ever you want when you want how you want
Tori and Dean-I know you love living the high life-but with all the lamenting and complaining you do about not having enough time because you have to work-why not down size your lives, move into a less expensive home like the rest of us, leaving you more time to spend with your children? You seem to need all the expensive toys but complain that you have to work. You are making a choice to live this kind of lifestyle. I don't think your children really care if they are dressed in prada or not or how big their house is-they just want you. Tori-you could stay home if Dean worked and only had to pay for a normal house mortgage and not all the expensive designer clothes and furniture. Just an idea.
Hi T, i,m here in Antigua watching your show, but i,m originally from jamaica like patsy. Clarendon for that matter. You and Dean are like a picture of me and my baby. ok just that we don\t have kids yet and not yet married,but you guys remind me some much of ourselves. Especially the famous "LOVE YOU BABE" thats our thing too,everytime we talk thos words have to be spoken else i'm mad!!lol
Anyway, i'm keeping up with the show, oh my and little monkey Liam's tantrums, well they are expected at his age so just hang in there with him, also little miss Stellita. Hope Patsy's operation goes wll she's a good woman i love her. So all the best with 90210 and coping with family being away you'll get through it though. good luck Pats
Tori, at my daughter's insistence I tuned in to watch your show this week. Well I can say that I was completely entertained by it. You are honest and funny and just adorable. Dean is a sweetie and the children are dolls. I am a 43 year old mom of two and granny to a one year old little boy. It absolutely breaks my heart for you that you cannot share your kids with your mom. The look on my son's face when I hold his son is priceless. PLEASE for your sake only, consider burying the hatchett with your mother. She may not be what you envisioned but one look at those precious angels of yours is certain to melt that cold exterior of hers. If she is too dumb to reach out to you than you be the bigger person. Best of luck to you, Dean and the kids!
Tori & Dean,
I absolutely love your show and you have two beautiful kids!Tori, I have read your first book and just bought your second book. You have a TV family who loves you!!! Also You and Dean are great parents! I also like to watch all of the The Real Housevives (Orange Co,NYC,Atlanta and New Jersey) I am also very involved with animal rescue and advocacy and think it is great the time you spend with the Much Love Animal Rescue. I miss Mimi!
Keep the episodes coming!

Hola!
I know you probably will not read this but I just have to say from one work-a-holic mom of 3 to another work-a-holic mom, don't fret the small stuff. I work full time, was going to school for my BA full time, hanging out with my kids/hubby and I enjoy beading. You can do it all! Don't worry what others think of you and just do what is right for you and your family. and as always -
Enjoy the Day!!
get over yourself leanne
Tori,
You have got to stop complaining. You have a happy marriage, a boy, a girl, a career (not just some job). PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING. You asked for all this. Everytime I tune in you are whining. "my husband is working, my kids are growing, my mother didn't love me the way I thought she should love me". Jesus, haven't you ever noticed everyone in the world is different. We all do things differently. It's not always going to be your way. It is your job to go to your mother, just like it is your daughters job to show you respect. Do you know how many daughters, are abused, and neglected? You were loved, and cared for. SHUT UP. I can't watch your show, you need a shot of gratitude, and maybe prozac.
Tired of it...in FL
Tori,
I can relate to you so well. Even though I never met you. I too have two little ones just about the same ages as your little ones. I have to work to help my husband with the bills and I always feel torn between work and my home life. I feel like i'm missing so much of their lives. I wish I could be with them more. I'm also burnt out with the fast pace life style. Its funny even though you live a far more glamorous life style than I do. We are still feeling the same way.
I love the show!
Kerri
love the show love the stories keep onkeeping on brother and sister
Leanne, after reading your comment, it was very clear that you are harboring some serious resentment. Remember, everyone's life has to be lived 'in perspective.' For Tori and Dean, working as actors usually means that schedules can be hectic at times, and the bottom line is, if there life is as blessed as it is and they choose to 'complain' about wanting to sepnd more time with their children, than so be it. Better than all of the mothers out there who leave their children with nannies all the time just because they don't feel like being a mother. We all vent, we all have gripes, but we are human and we are aloud to. If their biggest issue is that they miss their children, than I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about. Honestly, if you feel so strongly about your resentment towards those who are better off, perhaps you shouldn't be watching any celebrity driven shows. I would stick with something like Wife Swap, geared more towards the 'average' woman. And alas, to make a public comment regarding an issue that the couple so clearly does not want to discuss regarding Dean's ex-wife's child, is really innapropriate in a forum like this, or any forum in general really. This is a 'feel good' place. People who put negativity out there are usually genuinely unhappy with themselves. My advice to you would be to just let it go. If Dean chose to move on before the adoption took place (which according to reports is exactly what happened) than that is there business. We like watching shows liek Tori & Dean because it provides and escape from our world while still offering remnants of reality. If you cannot accept that, you really shoudl steer clear of celebrity life.
I like to watch your show... but sometimes the way you complain about stuff makes me not want to watch. You talk about how you have to do it all on your own and that you don't know what to do. I wish you had a day in my life. I am a wife a solder in Iraq and let me tell I have had to do so much by myself. So stop complaining and get real its not the end of the world and you don't have to worry about a husband in Iraq.

Hi Little Mama...........What a sweet loving young woman you are. It makes me sick the relationship you have with your mother. I am a mother of three and stepmother of six. I have a load of expierence in mother/child happenings,good and bad. I can tell you really want to be a part of your mom's life,so do it. Just go see her and talk to her. Go alone. Someone has to take the first step. You will feel so much better if you try. If for some reason it cant work its self out you will feel good about the fact that you tried. There has to be love there but sometimes pride gets in the way.You nerver know what can happen tomorrow...and you passed up the opertunity to try.
I have never ever written on one of these blogs barely read them but i came across this and i realized that tori should not be told to stop complaining about family time and all that, She is a busy woman like many of us i am a single mother of three and i often wish for a husband and the money and think that it would make everything better, But thanks to Tori i have realized no matter how much money we have or if we have the best husband in the world WE WILL ALWAYS THINK THE TIME IS NOT ENOUGH. Thank you Tori for showing that no matter what you have the time with your family is to be cherished because theres never enough time.
Tori
I love you and Dean show , you both have beautiful children. I agree men want sex all the time or should I say most men . I have been ill for a couple of years and I met the man of my dreams . I agree though men want 24-7 sex and woman we can take it or leave it LOL I think your a very sweet person and you and Dean relationship puts me in the mind of my husband and mine relationship. As parents your both good at it and doing well. I see your little boy is going through a terrible 2 moments don't be afraid to use time out that is what some parents do these days they don't correct their children. And if you love them you have to teach them morals. God Bless you all

Hi tori I love your shows and your jewelry. You and Dean are so good together. Tori don;t wait too late make peace with you mom don;t worry whos right or wrong take it from me I lost my 37 yr old son and am so glad there was peace or it could be so much worse to bear his loss. His aorta disected like john ritter. this life is too short.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I agree 100% with you.
It's probably too late for this season but cut the complaining already!!!! It's boring!! Yes, we get that you're torn between work and family but you don't have to say it between every vignette!! I'm exhausted listening to it!
Tori, I gotta tell you, I haven't ever responded to a celebrity blog before, but someone has to say this. I luv ya and your hubby, but really. You aren't the only working mother. I am a single mother, who works 10-12 hour days, also have to be on call for work and I don't have a Patsy. Come on! Get real! There are single moms who work 3 jobs and have more than one kid. Thank goodness I only have one, even though I would love more if I could find my 'Dean'. Quit your gripping! I know you work hard, I know it's not easy, but every day I have to wonder who is going to watch my kid while I am at work? Who is going to pick her up from school? And I certainly don't make the kind of money you do, so I have to worry about living from paycheck to paycheck. And I am a nurse and take care of human beings! I am not entertaining people, I am caring for the sick! How is that fair? Anyway, love the show, could stand less complaining about being with your family, I would love to spend more time with my child also, but that's not how life works. Be grateful you have Patsy and a husband. What a luxury that would be. Make up with your momma, you only get one in this life. You are going to have to bend, she won't. Get Liam's tantrum's under control, my daughter had ONE, that was the end of that. Not to be tolerated, as far as I am concerned. Congrats on losing the baby weight, I am envious. And Dean, get over the sex thing, geez, it makes me want to gag. We have brains, ones that separates us from animals, use it! Sex isn't all there is to life! Holy crikey, if you wanted a sex slave or a hooker, than you shouldn't have had more children! BTW, I thought you and your first wife adopted a little girl right before you met Tori, what happened with that? She is never mentioned, it's real sketchy. It just seems so odd that a man would go through the motions of adopting a child and then walk away from her because he fell in love with someone else. ??????
Leanne
Where can I get the round gold necklace you wear on the show? It is just what I have been looking for.
Hey Tori, I am a fan of Donna from episode 1 of B.H. 90210. That said, when i was pregnant with my son and came accross 'Tori and Dean inn love' I was hooked. It is so refreshing to see a celebrity just be real. You guys are so honest its very relatable. I love your show.
That said, I was a nanny for many years and now I am a stay at home Mom to my little monkey. He is 18 months and starting those wonderful tantrums. We tend to ignore them and thankfully they dont last long. Try not to take it personally, it is a natural faze that all children go through. Also in regards to your mom guilt when it comes to work. You and Dean are GREAT parents. Just make the most of the time you are with your kids, thats all they need. I will say that when you can spend time with each child seperately(individually as well as the 2 of you together). It really can make a difference with toddlers.
A family I used to work for had a regualr date night, well after their twins were born(2nd pregancy) they made an additional datenight with their daughter, so she could still see that even with her new brothers, she was still mommy and daddy's little girl.
I wish you the best in life, and your carrer.

Hi Tori,
Loving your show. Over here at www.more4kids.info we write about parenting issues all the time. What makes your show so great is see you work through problems such as tamtums, different parenting styles, kids getting sick, etc. But what I feel makes you show even better is talking about your relationship with Dean. No all, but manytimes we focus so much on our kids we sometimes don't put as much effort into our relationships with our spouse as we used to. Part of a successful family is to build good relationships with our kids and always let our spouses know how much we love them. I think you do that and that helps a lot of people.
I don't know how you find time for everything, but you are really a super mom and I wish you and your family all the best.
Kevin - More4kids
Tori and Dean crack me up, its like listening to me and my husband in reverse (I agree with Dean on the sex thing)maybe its they staying at home thing it makes us want those lazy days in bed so much more :) My son who we call Chunky Monkey just turned 18months all I can say is atleast they get him to stay in the crib my son has mastered how to climb out so naps are gone and so time out in them. But hey they are so cute it makes up for most stay strong Dean. Tori my husband has the same problem with my son wanting me not my husband they will grow out of it dont worry your a great mom working doesnt change that YOU ARE NOT YOUR MOTHER so dont stress your kids will have issues with you besides you got bug she will be a mommys girl and Dean will be like hey what happened here. Patsy is Awsome gotta love her
Thanks so much for letting us in your lives. I love your show and am so amazed at how you handle it. By the way, you are handling it! I struggle with a something in my life that makes me choose between working and providing and not feeling well enough to spend time with my kids at the days end. I have to remind myself to look at the bigger picture--the outcome. I am providing a life for them. I may have to go to bed at 5 each night, but they have healthcare and what they need. All we can do is plan for a future for them that they will be happy and be good people. Your children are beautiful and lucky to have parents like you!
Tori:
I so enjoy the show. I love watching how you handle everything in your life. Your so good with your children. Don't stress so bad all things will work out. You want to be with them so much and they sense this and will always know it. My children are almost grown now but I'm starting with a grand baby to remember "THOSE" days like you are going through now and ENJOY THEM !! They go by TO FAST !!! Don't worry just enjoy Take it from one who tried to do it all like you. When you get to this stage in your life none of it mattered and you still came out with the same results. Keep up the good work.
Tori,
I've watched you guys from the very beginning. You have such a sweet family! I'm 30 with 4 kids at home. One of which in fact was born the same day Stella was. We celebrated his 1st bday yesterday as well. It will be fun for me to watch how they grow up together. Fact i saved the issue of a magazine when she was on the cover being born just b/c they share the same bdays. Like everyone else, I think you are doing way to much to be able to look back and think you wouldn't change anything. The thing you say the most on the show is, i want to spend time with my kids... but when you do you're still working or stressed or tired. Make playtime with them part of your daily routine. That's all i will say.
(I know part of the show is drama. If you guys sat around playing and eating and watching tv, who would watch right?)
Hi Tori,
Was just wanting to drop you a line to let you know you guys are doing a great job with the kids. As a mother of 3 girls age 4, 14 and 16 and 3 stepsons age 15, 17 and 25 I know a little about parenting. We love the show but your biggest fan is my four year old she watches all the time, you guys even beat out spongebob if you are on and she loves bob bob! Promised her I would send a messege to let you guys know she loves ya all (Monkey the most!) But as a note terrible 2s ain't nothing .....wait till the horrible 3s.... but you will survive i have 3 times ! Good Luck and Love the books! P.S. mom's do relate to the poo in the puss!
Hi there! I just wanted to say how much I love your show! I have been watching Liam's tantrums and I agree with the other bloggers that a regular sleep schedule is a must! However, our pediatrician recommend two books for our 20m old son Oliver. The one we like the best and are currently using is "Parenting with Love and Logic." (Birth-6) It is a great book and makes a lot of sense. Hope this helps =)
Dear Tori, You guys are a fun reality. HOW CAN I SEND U 2 PHOTOS? One would be my 5 yr old's baby picture (looked like Stella) and the other would be a pic of my brother who looks like Dean. I THINK U WOULD GET A KICK!!!
Hi Tori,
First and for most i want to say that i love your show! i know you hear alot of that but i just wanted to be another person to tell you! second, you look great! you didn't look like you gained much weight when you were pregnant anyways, so i'm sure you didn't have much weight to lose! i just had my 2nd son 4 months ago and i'm still struggling to lose the weight! anyways, i wanted to comment on the whole sex thing with you and dean! i am in a similar situation, when you first meet your partner you have sex all the time...and yes just like dean says "3 times a day" it's true! also after having 2 kids when can one find the time?? we've gone from having sex at least 7 days a week sometimes more than once a day to having sex once a week..haha..yeah..crazy isn't it? i mean, i'm happy because we are so busy with 2 kids that you just don't think about it until you are actually alone together! i worry about my husband sometimes, i hope he feels the same way, but probably not! hahaha anyways, i don't know if you actually read these blogs, but if you do, know that you're not alone in many of your situations! also, your children are beautiful!! stella is so cute, cherish every moment with them, but i don't need to tell you that! you're such a great mommy to them and wheather you know it or not, they think the world of you! take care

Tori & Dean - really enjoy your show and I HATE TV - so let that be a compliment to you both. Liam needs a regular sleep schedule...we only see what's shown on TV but the melt-downs are not always "typical"...I'm sure you both need sleep too! Don't we all. Much love and support to both of you - I am surprised at how much respect I have for Tori - never heard of you beyond the media but you are a surprisingly likeable woman...you make me laugh. Thank you both for being real. Sex...men need it...give it to them...it won't hurt you and it makes you feel like a woman. You will be so happy later that you kept your priorities straight...kids, husband, yourself and work. Remember the order of that but sometimes, put yourself first. And if you do the sex thing, your husband will be a big helper!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Stella..Happy Birthday to you!!!! Sorry it took me all day, but I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to the little diva!! I have a 2 year old little girl. Time flies doesnt it? How are the terrible twos and Liam going? Audrey is just started, and Dean is right it is like they are testing us!! Oh well they all do it. Anyway Happy Birthday Stella!! Pink hugs!
Hi Tori, Yes I believe men's number one request or complaint, however you look at it, is sex.
My kids are teenagers now, two boys, and they say my husband and I are embarassing because we sneak away every chance we get. I admit it is easier because there older and don't need constant care, so hang in there, we've been together 15 years. Just one suggestion from an eternal romatic, when you are home together let your nanny do her job and occupy the kids for an hour or so.
Terrible twos? Wait till ya hit three Way worse! Good luck! It's fun
I want to tell you as far as your life, sex, kids, you and Dean are in control and you are both GREAT parents. It will all fall into place. Just because you and your mother are not close at this time does not have anything to do with you and your kids. What I see are two people that love each other and are great parents. By the way, I saw a movie you both did together.. sorry cannot remember the name but Dean you were a little crazy in that movie. You both should do more movies together. You are both great and I wish you both well.
Hi Tori,
My wife and I just watched your episode taken in Vancouver BC and were laughing over your conversation that you had on your "date night". We laughed due to the fact that my wife and I have the same coversation many times. Dean, I am in total agreeance with you and of course my wife TOTALLY agrees with Tori. Being the man, I still have those animalistic attractions for my wife where anytime, anywhere is possible and she likes to tease with NO FOLLOW THROUGH. UUUGGGG!! Anyway, we love your show. Take care and God bless.
Jon

PS- We are due with our first in 5 weeks after 1 yr of marriage.
Tori-
I am with a scorpio. God help us all. I tell him that just because we are lovers, sex is a privelege not a right. Plus, he is truely a 13 year old boy in a mans body. I try to keep up, but he always wants more. What will we do??? Just to let you know, I am right there with you sister!!!

Hey there Tori and Dean, just wanted to let you know i watch your show every tuesday. I love your show. dont worry about liam he will grow out of his tantrums he will grow out of it soon, by the way HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY STELLA. keep up the good work on rasing the goods. i know your worried about missing out on seeing them grow up because your working but thats just what us good parents have to do to keep a roof over their heads and of course the basic essentials. just remember you guys a great parents and ignore all the negative blogs. tell pasty im praying for her when she goes and has the surgey. you may not have your mom on your side but rember you have suzanne,the guncles,mehran,and of course pasty and dean as your family LOVE YOU GUYS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORRK
Tori- My daughter got me started watching your show and I really enjoy it. She is a young mother with a 1 year old and she can relate to everything you go through. I have raised my children and now I enjoy my grandchildren. I think you and all young mothers need a golden star for raising children today. It is the hardest job anyone could every do, god made mothers special. Good luck on everything. I have one question before I go. The necklace you wore in the show Tuesday June 9, 2009, it was gold and had a round circle on the end of the chain and might have had some writing on it. Could you tell me if it is one of yours or where I could get one. I think my daughters would love it with their kids names on it. Thank you.
Cheers! It is a known still arguable fact that "start up sex" is a very simple part of life that just can't be ignored, rather, just laugh at it. When my hubby and I first met, WOW, the sex enveloped us like bunnies on wheels! Since my 3 surgeries in a matter of a 5 week time frame, my hubby has had to take over the responsibilites of our home and family. I've been on medical leave and going through extreme physical therapy. Hence, the sex life has plummeted. The love between us is still as strong as ever. Probably even more so since we've faced hardships through our life changing experiences as of late. For us, sex isn't the answer to a relationship. Showing eachother other meaningful things in our relationship and life in general is what counts more. The sex is just an added bonus for us on that occassional spree. ;) We think of it as life's snowballs and avalanches. We do numerous little things for eachother which are snowballs that add upto avalanches. We've viewed quite the snowballs of little things the two of you do for eachother on your tele series. Each of those add upto avalanches such as, realizing just how much you two mean to eachother when things in life may go awry. Like, for example, when Patsy was facing HER life changing experience of her weight loss surgery. Or, when the thought of a Crash Truck was surrounding Dean's threat of his thrill of a ride....thank the Lord above, nothing was life threatening BTW. Those are what we call the avalanches. We realize just how much we mean to eachother when big episodes or issues take effect in our individual and coupled lives. I hope I'm making sense here as it's a wee bit difficult to explain.....I guess it's just easier to live it than to explain, eh? ;)
Tori, I had a different opinion of you during the original 90210, but now I see how you've grown. You have a wonderful heart and personality and even though I'm a blue collar worker, I see the difficulties you've had to deal with in front of the whole world. You are a caring a wonderful person and people who don't see it aren't worth thinking about. You are a wonderful mother and wife ... I can't wait to see your career blossom. Take care of yourself sweetie!
Hi you guys may never read this, but I just wanted to tell you guys that I think that ya'll are doing a great job as parents and you guys are great role models as husband and wife and as mom and dad! Tori you are the coolest actress out there you can do the whole hollywood scene but you keep it real!!!! Dean since you like trying new and different things come over to Ky and we will show you how to race cars on dirt tracks and hunt deer, turkey, ra #&@% s and many other things! We can put a little country in ya! Tori I agree with you know matter how many time you "do it" its never enough for a man. But dean I think that racing motorcycles is freaking cool but then again i am a country girl so i like four wheelers, hunting, fishin, nascar! If you guys ever happen to read this just know all shows should be like yours! Much love from Ky!
Tori,I love your new book.You seem like such a down to earth person.You are a wonderful mother with two beautiful children and a great husband.Just try to spend as much time as you can with them because they grow up so fast,mine just started driving and it seems like he was just a baby.I know you are trying to work to make a living and good life for your kids but just slow down some because that time with them can't ever be replaced and they are only small once.Good luck with all you do,we love you and remember you have become a great mother.
I just wanted to say that I LOVE you two. I think you are the greatest. You both were mean't for each other. You have the two most beautiful kids and as you say Tori you are really not any different than people that are not celebrities. I laugh, cry and relive my life with my kids in your show. Mine are grown but they are still my babies. Tori, stop being a worry wart whether or not you are a good mother, YOU ARE. Hope one day your mom can realize that you are a great person but if not you need to live your life to the fullest like you do cause in the end you will realize that you did it all along without her, and it was her loss. I know she loves you and you love her but you will be ok with or without her approval. Trust me. You guys take care of each other like you have and always be who you are because you both are great people. Love you
You guys are a hoot....luv, luv your home decor.
Just wondering...did they end up keeping the dog with the "problem" in the parade episode? I hope
so..Tori and Dean seem to know that the dog couldn't help it.
Also, if you gals don't care for the show or the
people on it...why watch? Seems like you must have other channels available. Never understood
people's need to rip strangers apart.
To each his own....
Tori,
I love your show! It's my "guilty pleasure" every week, and both myself and my hubby get such a laugh out of your kids! When I see little Liam, it's like seeing my son (who's 16 mos) and he appearantly missed the same "terrible two's" memo! I definitely feel your and Dean's pain on that one! Just wanted to say that I love that you guys share your lives with "us" and I have agreed and sympathized with SO many issues (including the mother issue)that you have had to deal with...Wishing you all the best!
I just want to say I completely understand how you feel with baby's! I only have one 13 month old but she is a hand full! I own a Hair Salon and I always feel out of control. And watching your show makes me laugh because I know sometimes I'm not the only mom that feels like their kid is going out of control! You go girl you have a so much going on but you seem to get it all together like we all would like to do sometimes! Francie is a outgoing baby and loves everyone but she doesn't like naps during he day and my husband is a tattoo artist and his hours is at night so he has no idea what its like so I'm glad you make Dean do the Dad role "the way they all should"!!!
hi tori and dean
wow I love your show its so fun . its better than a soap opera . its really real and I just have such joy watching it.definitely not like jon and kate/
I am a grandmother the yrs really fly by. be happy everyday. you are so sensitive thats one reason you are loved so much.you seem to understand to treat everyone the way you want them to treat you. I had very abusive parents. it ruins who you are meant to be. it took all my life to get over my childhood. this will not happen to you.
love your entire family!!
I am a pretty big fan of the show and haven't really had any issues up until now. Here I sit watching the episode tonight and poor Liam is so obviously yearning for Tori's attention-HELLO! I am the mother of a 5 year old and a 2 year old, so I guess you could say I've been through the "terrible twos" if that's what you want to call it. I mean take like 10 minutes out of your book writing to play with your son. This is the time he needs to really feel your love or else he will become emotionally unattached later in life. I just think Tori needs to reevaluate her priorities, seriously.
So, just watched the show tonite and LOVED it as usual. My husband and I watch it together. You guys are awesome parents, I so understood your feelings about Liam not hugging you goodbye, I have 3 little ones and whenever my baby (3 yrs old) acts like that, my heart breaks. I also wanted to compliment you on an AWESOME choice for hotel in Whistler. We were there a couple of years ago and stayed at the Fairmount. Isnt it wonderful!! We loved watching tonite and saying "hey we were there" or " I remember that". That whole area is absolutely beautiful, if you guys get a chance you have to go back for a longer stay! There are so many things to do...For the ENTIRE family!!! Love your show, keep up the awesome work.
THIS SHOW IS THE WORST REALITY SHOW "EVER"!!!!!!!! TORI YOU ARE THE MOST BORING CHICK ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ONLY HAVE A SHOW BECAUSE OF YOUR LAST NAME!!!!!!! PLEASE WE ALL HAD ENOUGH!!!
I am a huge Tori fan... I watch every episode and I love them because they are so real. I am also a mommy of 2 little children. I have a 2 1/2 yr old son and a 1 yr old daughter... They are my world. I am wanting to get Tori's books but just cant seem to find them.. Maybe I need to try online :)..
Much love.. and keep on doing what you two are doing! Your doing a great job...
Tori,
I know you are freaked about Liam not hugging you goodbye and I know it leaves you feeling empty. But I have to share with you that you should take this action as a compliment.
When a child that age won't hug you goodbye, it's their way of saying "I'm not giving you my permission to leave". In their little minds, they feel like if they give you that hug and kiss you're looking for, then that means they're giving you permission to leave.
You're Liam's mom & the love of his life so of course he doesn't want you to leave. Obviously he's not going to give you permission to leave by hugging and kissing you goodbye.
Be grateful he loves you enough to deny you !
You're a great mom and it seems to come natural to you. Don't ever think any differently or 2nd guess your parental abilities.
Smooches,
Angela from Spring, TX
Hi Tori,
Love your show. My husband and I are addicted. Just a quick question if you don't mind sharing?? Who is the designer of your eye glasses. Please share.
I havent even seen this weeks episode yet, just read the blog. You are still complaining, why not be thankful you have the opportunity to go away with Dean and the kids instead of focusing on the fact you had to be away to work! working is life1 stop complaining and be thankful for your time with them!
Tori,I love your show and your family.You both are great parents.And Tori,I can totally relate about the motorcycle thing,my man is also a bike rider.Keep up the good work.
Hi Tori and Dean! I am such a HUGE fan! I have a quick question (not to alarm anyone), is Liam talking yet?
Ok, Tori and Dean. i have truly looked at your show since the "bed and breakfast days". I fell in love with the honesty and realness of your show.......this season has been a trip to watch. Why does it seem like everything you all did was such a big deal.....it was like ok, oh no we have work, the kids.......that is everyday. Did you ever discipline Liam? I hope as the season goes on (because I know you have already taped)- less complaining and discipline Liam please.......I don't want to see him as another spoil Hollywood kid.
Hi Tori, first and foremost may God Bless you and your children, husband and Patsy. Today 6/9/09 was the very first time that i sat and watched your show and i fell in love right away and not with the show but with the person that i was watching and the realness of it all. too many shows have these all dolled up mamas that you know when the camera are off go "cut someone get these kids" but i dont see that in you at all. I am not a celebrity or even rich but we have one thing in common and that is our parent situation meaning that i lost my dad when i wasnt ready to let go and my mom was so busy with her own life that now we have issues up the wazzzuuu. you know what i mean by that, its never easy to deal with and i know the struggle of trying not to repeat the cycle with your own children. dont worry sister, i know for a fact that it hurts but try your best to always do the complete opposite of what was done to you, and i thank God everyday for my husband and kids for being my only family that i have,you give me a new type of strength and maybe i can stop crying long enough to finish this but keep going cause you got moms like me backing you 100 precent doll face. Thanks For sharing on screen what most of us carry inside for ever, THANK YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DONT KNOW YOU DID. LOVE NAMEERA IN NY
Tori you crack me up! You and Dean have such a great show. It makes me feel good to see that even famous people have real lives and love their kids just like everyone else. Your kids look like little angels and I hope nothing but good things come your way.
Dear Dean & Tori--
First of all, Happy Birthday to Stella! You do have a beautiful family, but here's an idea for a new show "TORI & DEAN GET THE HECK OUT OF HOLLYWOOD" ...before their lives are wrecked & family ripped apart. Here's another great suggestion for an episode: "Tori & Dean Take the Kids to Sunday School". You are a lovely family, but headed down the wrong road for any sort of normal family life. Please--get out of Hollywood, buy a nice farm in Iowa, & take those kids to church. Teach them about Jesus so they have a real shot at the best life; not the kind of life & childhood you had. Make it better for them & get them out of the fish bowl that is TV. God loves you & so do I! John 3:16, Jeremiah 29:11-13
Hello Tori & Dean,
Your family is so beautiful !!! I think your reality show is fun for everyone. I have two girls ages 9 & 10 and they watch your show right along side of me (TiVo of course).
The only reality show my husband ever watched religiously was "The Osbourns". So sorry to say, he doesn't share the enthusiasm, that us girls do.
Good Luck with everything that you have going on. Your jewelry, this reality show, TV in general, any more books and of course your family.
Here's a cute little saying I use every now and then...Life Isn't About How To Survive The Storm But How To Dance In The Rain. You & Dean seem to have that down pat. The Best To You !!!
LuvLee
hey there tori , i want to say hi to your family. I just want tell Stella Happy 1st Birthday. I enjoy watching your show on Oxygen.I think it is very cute to watch you and Dean grow with your kids. Your new house is cute too.I have always like watching your shows and watching 90210 i like that too..Good luck with your family...
Happy Birthday to your dear Stella.You are a great mom Tori and your children are so lucky to have you. Having a terrible mother like you did just made you a much better mother. You will make sure that your children are brought up with nothing but lots of love and security. You truly are admired by so many. Your hubby Dean is a wonderful actor and I love to watch the movies he is in. His career will just keep growing and so will your's. Always remember it isn't the amount of time you spend with your children, the most important thing is the QUALITY of the time you spend with them. Too bad your mother failed in all areas but it has only made you stronger. You have such a fantastic group of friends (who are your family for sure) so your children have everything they need to grow up with lots of love and history will not repeat itself ever again.
I watch the show when I can. I remeber the end of last season when they moved into there new house and did work and stuff. I have been watching some of the new season, and its driving me crazy. Whats with the new house they are in and why are they talking about the sale of there house. What house, what happened to the one they moved into.
Where do we find the great knee high tan boots tori is wearing in episode one?
We saw you and your family at the elmo show last saturday! You guys are beautiful!!
We saw you and your family at the elmo show last saturday! You guys are beautiful!!
Where do/did you get your maternity cloithes?
Designer and/or shop would be much appreciated
Hi Tori; I actually hope you're reading these and perhaps taking a FEW comments to heart...good and bad :) I'm a fan of the show (i think you are too sweet and of course a (ol' skool) 90210 fan, i had to watch!! :D
here's just one thing i'd like to say to you -- perhaps others have meantioned this as well....Suzanne McFarland wants your husband!!! she wants to live in your house, your life, your kids and she wants to wear your skin!!!! I'd keep my good eye on her...after all, sad enough to say, but "Deano" does have a history in double dipping!
Hi Tori.
I enjoy watching your show. I find that I relate very much to you and Dean. I have a 14 month old daughter and 5 month old twin boys. It has been a very surprising and busy year. But, I find it relieving to watch your show, because I relate so much to you as you go through your experiences. Motherhood is the toughest job and I am in awe at how much you can accomplish. I also want to know what type of diet are you on? You look awesome. I need help losing this baby weight. :)
Thanks again for sharing your life experiences, I agree with you that women just need someone to talk or vent to and it is frustrating when your hubby thinks he can fix your problems instead of listening.
I also agree with your comments on sex after children and marriage. It's nice to know that I'm not the only that feels the same way. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts on these topics.
Hi Tori,
We admire you so much for not only being a great Mom but for also being a great business woman! It is hard to balance work and family life and we can not imagine having to deal with fame to boot! As mothers we just wanted to drop you a line and say the Mom's over at Mom's Most Wanted support you!
We wish you much luck and happiness!
Love,
The Moms
Claire & Stefanie
I just got done reading your 1st book and now starting on your 2nd. I grew up wathcing 90210 and I think you are just great. Keep up the wonderful work!!!!
Wow i love the show. You are really great mom. Im a stay at home mom of 3. You are the kind of person i can become friends with. Im just like you worrying about everything. My husband always says stop being a worry wart. But its hard when you have kids. Id be your friend in a heartbeat. Continue all the good work.
Hi Tori,
I Watch your show when ever I can.
I think you are a person that I would like to hang out with, you seem to be a wonderful person and you are human and it's so wonderful to see.
You have a marriage that is normal to with ups and downs.
You are doing great with it all.
I have a two old daughter and I'm a stay home mom and I don't know how you do it.
I'm impressed!
Have a wonderful day!
Hug from Bodil.
Tori and Dean I think your love is genuine and I love your honesty on the show. I believe that you both were meant for each other and I think you bring out the best in each other as well. If a marriage was solid, then nothing could penetrate it. Negative comments come from insecure people. You are wonderful step mom to his son Jack and Dean never misses an opportunity to include him when he speaks of all his children. You are a strong woman despite your lifes let downs and you are a great role model for others that may have had the same relationships with their own moms. I am a forever fan of your show but I notice the weight you carry for the pain in your past. Choose to let it go. If you just say I forgive you mom and let go of the pain, you will be surprised on the outcome in your life. You seem to be an incredibly devoted wife and mother and your husband seems to share the same traits. Goodluck to you and your endeavors.
sally STOP being a Hater GET A LIFE! Tory is awesome with jack the show is great if you don't like don't watch it you Stupid Bitch!
Tory and Dean i love the show tory you are a good mother i love how you and your husband are Educating the children you are so positive when it comes to the real house wives you take the cake keep up the good work!
So are you going to write blogs about how much Mommy and Daddy "Do it" and things like staring at Daddy's region when YOUR son and daughter are tweens in middle school? I bet you are not,. Well don't you think Dean's tween "Jack" reads this- it's all about YOUR family- forget the one he had before you. For someone who has wailed about their family being torn apart and how it ruined your life, you have no problem doing it to Deans first wife and kids- (especially kids) his son is reading this Blog you self centered narcacist. C'mon, think of someone else but backtracking and making your sloppy seconds family look good.
u are really into yourself........
I was watching the show where you appeared in the mother goose parade , I love the reading glasses you were wearing, Could I ask you who makes them and the style name? Thank you Tiffany Pendola
Tori--I really like your show (and I, too, watch Real Housewives of NYC). You and Dean are a fun, cute couple. I would love it if Dean got more leading man roles in movies--he is pretty hot and also so totally nice to you! Anyway, I also read both your books. One thing to share, Mommy to Mommy, about the whole swim diaper poop incident. It definitely happens to the best of us. And, it doesn't matter if those things don't have velcro because you can just rip the sides open . . . you aren't going to save the darn thing anyway! That's what I do, and it might have saved you a towel. Also, thought the whole free boutique clothes downtown with the kids and then couldn't close up the stroller incident was priceless! I can completely relate. Even though we have totally different lives, my sister (also a mommy) and I agree that you are a lot like us. Wishing you and your family a bright future!
