Hello, i would just like to say, what a interesting blog! i'm just researching for my website but i had trouble reading this article because the text protruding on to the side menu.... NVM! apologies, the problems my end, it is my outdated version of chrome causing the bug. Could be worthwhile telling people to update. Many thanks. KarlM

Greetings, I am currently researching for an article that I'm typing for my own blog. I have found this post extremely helpful and I was wondering if I can link to this post as it will be of great interest to my readers? Many thanks.

I've never heard of this before. I'll make sure to find out more.

What will the role of the boards of health be during the beta test? Boards of Health will need to understand that the agency is part of the beta test. They will need to know that there are standards and measures that relate to how the department relates to them. They should be kept informed, and they should be involved in every step of the way.

When will national accreditation start for health departments? Program development is currently underway at PHAB. Committees and Workgroups developed the standards and measures, the procedures to assess health departments, and a research and evaluation plan. Draft standards are publicly available.

What is an Article Directory? An Article Directory is a repository for article written by website owners and marketeers. When an article is placed with the directory it can then be used by ither websites as part of their content.

Which is an excellent piece, always good to learn a lot more about boating

great blog Hope will be visiting in the future for sure!

Hello webmaster I like your post ….

Day (17-8), a popular fighter in Alberta, was released by the UFC in 2009 after dropping back-to-back bouts to Michael Bisping and Kendall Grove. He bounced back at RITC 35 with a submission victory over Trevor Stewardson. He is looking to a win over Taylor to help put him back on the UFC’s radar.

Thanks for a good read. I will be returning.

Your post piqued my interest. Please give us a more indepth post if you get a chance.

So what are thinking of now? Design, fashion, comfort, price and every other factor will comprehensively convince you to reach out the online stores and boutiques to try out the jeans.

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate a couple very powerful methods of getting users. You can capture ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this program. Then once you have them you can do a friend add to your profile or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is amazing...

Thanks for the good information.

Hiya … I was searching the web and came across your website by accident. I was searching in Yahoo for blogs mentioning mountain biking. I enjoyed your blog post. I don’t have the time at the moment to fully read your entire site but I bookmarked it and will be back around in a day or two. Thanks.

Great site, exactly what I was looking for, I can't get your RSS feed to work right in google chrome though, is it on my end? Check out my website if you get a chance, just click on name. My Dancing Lessons Blog - http://theperfectpointreview.blogspot.com

Hi, I found this blog post while was searching for technology related information on bing and found it very good article, thanks for sharing, keep up to excellent work.

hiiii tori i love your show and what you and dean have is wonderful but in the issue of ok magazine i saw that you and dean are doing all this for publicity stunt i was sooo upset that the media has nothing better to do but to try and hurt your marriage i just want to know if the season isn't over and that you and dean are as happy as it shows and by the way your children are sooo adorable and smart just like mommy and daddy

Tori-I was just wondering if you're the one to contact on the season finale. I'm hoping to watch the season finale and was wondering if not you-who I'd contact for the comebacks of your show and questions?? I'm hoping you'll return as I'm really into your show and will miss watching it greatly.

Tori - just read on E! Online that Dean might do Dancing With the Stars!? That true? SO FUN! Hope he does it. And i can't wait for tomorrow's episode!!! xoxoxo

Hey Tori - I just read on-line about you mother's latest hurtful comments, that you are using your children as tools to achieve ratings for your show, and I just want to say that we, the fans, know that nothing could be further from the truth.
You and Dean seem to be amazing parents, and really cool people, and I feel very sorry for your mother and all that she is missing. Maybe someday she will get her head outta her ass! Until then, keep your chin up and just keep doing what your doing.
you are fabulous!!

TORI,
I watched you on the Wendy Wiliams show the other day. I was appalled at the revelation you made.

People actually blogged those horrible names at you? It's just so hard to believe since you were better looking than 99.9% of the girls that walked on to the BV 90210 set!

You still are better looking than most women on TV today! I do agree that you are on the thin side, but if that is the way YOU feel beautiful, then you stay thin.
Luv Ya Tori!!!

I just want to say i cannot believe how many people are into this show. My friends and i talk because we are the same age as Tori and all feel that if she knew us she would be on the couch bitching the same as us. I guess that is why the show is so successful.

dear tori.
hi tori! i love ur show! i really wanna get in touch with you and get to meet you and ur family. if u see this message let me know and then mabey we can work something out
Anyssa : )

Tori, if your mom doesn't show up for Stella's party, don't give up on inviting her for family functions. Always extend that invitation to her even if you don't want to. That way when the kids are grown you can have that to fall back on and you will look like the better person when the kids ask about Grandma. Don't give up, but don't let it consume you. Go through the motions even if she isn't responding. Send holiday cards, pictures, Mother's Day cards, etc. BE THE BETTER PERSON.

You may want to try meeting with your mom off camera and in private. I think that would be best for everyone. More publicity just fuels the fire and I think the media is responsible for the majority of the drama in the first place. You two need private time to talk and air your feelings with one another. Good luck!

I was one of those people who thought you were only famous because your dad made you that way. Now that I watch your show, I can't help but love you. I have to side with Dean on cutting ties with mommy dearest. You have tried but she has done everything she can think of to hurt you. By saying that you not calling killed your father is the most "unmotherly" thing I have ever heard said. You have a great "family" in your friends. Maybe you should try to make amends with your brother, maybe then slowly you can get some kind of relationship with your mom. Your Uncle seems to be there for you and he favors your dad so much, that must be comforting. Your children are beautiful and you are a great mom, try to slow down some, you are stretching yourself to thin... that is not a jab at your weight, I wish I had your body, fake boobs and all!!
There has always been something that has "irked" me and I want to know if you ever noticed it or if anyone has ever mentioned it. There was a movie you were in, I can't remember the name, but you were a famous skier. You were sitting alone in the dark since the power was out and the phone rang and you answered it and had a conversation... on a cordless phone!! Did anyone think for half a minute that a cordless phone doesn't work without power?? Just wondering if anyone else noticed it.

Keep your chin up girl, your ok

Dear Guncles and Tori and Dean,
I am expecting a child, due in Decemeber. I have had help from a wonderful person that blogs called "momerator". As a confidential person, a difficult but loving decision has been made to place the miracle growing inside to a warm and loving family. All medical records, and an opportunity for the Guncles and family to be completely involved in the pregnancy and birth are available. All that I want is an opportunity for this little one to have a loving, commited family. Knowing the intense process of adoption, I am so proud of the Guncles (the handsome newly married couple) for the devotion to each other and toward the adoption. I am aware of the entire adoption process, the filling out of endless paperwork, references, homestudies, etc. Please know that all the waiting will be worthwhile, for when your new arrival is in your arms, you will both know that he/or she is truly the "one" for you. Good luck on your search. Dear Bill and Scout, if you are interested, please let me know. I would be happy to share my background, age, education level, pics of the ultrasounds and anything else you may want to know. Our thoughts are with you and may you have your new addition to your family in time for the holidays.

Tori,

Hi! I'm a big fan of your reality show and am amazed by the relationship between yourself and Dean. Truly it's so inspiring to see such a great couple being really great together! Gives me hope that I will one day find my match. Now I know you don't know me, much less why should my opinion matter, but I am astounded by the non-sense your mother just pulled. No matter what -- she "should" support you in whatever you do, just like you would support your two little angels! The reality show is your job -- and she should realize that! Being family, of course she might come up, but this doesn't revolve around her. I found the letter to be condescending and self-righteous. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but you aren't alone. My father and I don't get on very well and to be honest your mom sounds much like my father.

It seems like it would be a healthier choice to just forgo trying to mend the relationship and instead move forward. Unlike you, I don't have an amazing partner to lean on. Be thankful sweets! I wish you the best.

;-) Emily

Hi Tori and family

I read the comments from your mother on TMZ. Tori, GO to her home with the children and no cameras and finally tell her you want her to have a relationship with her grandchildren but on one condition - it has to be strictly off cameras for awhile - see what happens. If she really loves you and the children - she'll do it. If she doesn't, she will never change. This drama is helping the shows ratings for awhile but in the long run, it only hurts you and your children and honestly the show works without the drama of Candy - it will be just as successful without her being mentioned. If she doesn't agree to time with her grandkids off camera - you ultimately prove your point and she can never say a word. If that is the case - let the hope of her go. I don't mean forever, I know you can't do that - no one can - it's family. But for awhile can you finally move on.
The show works b/c of your family and your life. I think most of the people watching want you to finally let the hope of your mother go - Dean sees it - believe him, husbands see things sometimes wives can't. If she wants a relationship, she'll see you without the cameras-period. And you have to agree to that arrangement no matter what the producers say or the sponsors say or what your agent, lawyers say etc.... If she never agrees, you did what you could and will always know you did. You're just like your Dad in terms of being business savvy. Be just as savvy about your own life in terms of your mother. Love the show and best to you and your beautiful family.

I just want you to know that I love your show and your kids are so adorable. You really give me inspiration about a lot of things as a mother. Sometimes you say things and I'm like "OMG! That's exactly how I feel!" or "That's happened to me, too." Sometimes it's just hard to imagine celebrities as real people, but when I watch your show it makes you real and your advice seem better than if you read it in a magazine from another celebrity. I just want to say that I can't understand your tension with your mother, but I can relate to your children. My father's parents don't have anything to do with him or any of his children. It really breaks my heart to see that your children with suffer this with you. I'm old enough to make my own decisions about my grandparents without my parents opinion of them, and I must say that I think I would rather have them out of my life than in it. I know that is horrible to say, but it is the truth. I have met them a couple of times and they are just drama. To me, it's very important for your children to make their own opinion about her. I know that's hard now because they are so young, but one day the question about her will be asked. I can't believe her actions and her words. When she talks bad about you in the news and makes the fight public it will/does effect your children whether she knows that or not. I feel for you because you have to deal with the public harassment and personal emotions behind this fight but more for your children because they seem to have become the target. You are a grown woman and can deal with this, but babies are so fragile and don't need her drama in their childhood. I have full faith that you will handle this best for your children because you are a great mother.

Tori, Dean, Stella and Liam....how I enjoy watching you on the show. I'm a mom and grandma and, if I had been blessed with a daughter, I'd be proud if she were you, Tori. Your children are beautiful and any grandmother (except for one!) would be thrilled to nurture those 2 babies. I have 4 grandchildren and can't imagine staying away from them. I didn't expect to like the show as much as I do but you and your charming, sweet selves won me over. Don't worry about things you have no control over. You extended the invitation. How she chose to respond is all on her. I sure don't understand it, but I don't have to and neither do you. Keep on exactly the way you are......loving, sweet and kind. Blessings to all......guncles, too!

Tori,
I never send in messages, but I just read your mom's message on TMZ. I just want you to know that I have watched your show from the beginning and I can see how much you love your children and how hurt you have been by your mom. She will wake up one day all alone and will wish for something with you and monkey and buggie. I hope it won't be too late. Keep doing what you do and know that you have a lot of fans that support you!
Sue

Hey Tori!

I think you did all you could do with inviting your mother to Princess Stella's 1st birthday. I too have a strained relationship, but with my father. My parents divorced when I was really young and when my dad remarried, he no longer wanted anything to do with me or my sister. Mainly me though. I'm now married and have two children of my own that he barely knows. Don't get me wrong, he does know them, but doesn't recognize them on special events such as birthdays. His wife has basically erased me from his head. We can only do so much right? I've decided that enough is enough and when he wants a relationship with me, he has to put forth the effort. You and I have more in common than you think.

P.S. Go Guncles! I love those guys and I think they deserve to have a huge beautiful family together! I wish that I had great friends like you do!

I love the new clothing line i just saw the show last night I have to DVR your show B/C i also have a 2yr old. and never have time to watch, love the show. when will we be able to buy clothing? you are a wonderful mother I wish I could great mother as well. I think one day i have it down right.

Congratulations to the guncles they are great as well as you tori and of course dean you are so great. A beautiful family.
Help this little baby cause i know you guys can. Thanks. www.wix.com/babynayeli/Baby-Nayeli

Tori & Dean, I idolize you both on how your love grows every day and the great job you are doing with those babies! I would love to be as connected as you both are. You are the most amazing people I know. And to the guncles, good luck on your adoption process. You definately will make great dads! You all have my support. Happy birthday Buggie!

I agree totally, Renee, It's making me not like the show anymore...blah blah blah...

Tori ....Listen enough is enough either you want to work it out with your mom or you dont but to do your first meeting on National T.V is not the way. You talk about all the things she has done wrong QUIT playing the victim and move on and try to forgive. I am a mother and a grandmother and I had no childhood, all of us kids were abused and never shown any love or even knew what that was. I forgave my parents because I just thought MAYBE that was all they knew and they did the best they knew how. Playing the victim is only hurting you because you CHOOSE not to move on and even though you think you will not you WILL carry this on to your children. Dean needs to stand with you not against your mother, that is between you and HER not HIM. I have to wander what is he afraid of? He has not helped you put this behind you he keeps putting the wedge in there further and that is not right. You need to set up a meeting with her where it is just private and not make it a circus or ratings for your show, that does not make you look any better. You will see when your children grow up they will have a different take on some things that took place than you THAT IS LIFE we never see things the same way. Please quit this fued with your mother in the public both of you have done this and it shows how silly it is. Forgive and be open maybe you will not be able to forgive her right away but be open to a realtionship with her and quit trying to do it on your show, you are so wrong for doing it this way. Move on Tori and give your children the gift of meeting and loving their grandmother, she can not be too bad you have turned out to be a beautiful and loving young women. Listen what I am trying to say is None of us are perfect, we make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them but that is all part of life. Think about what I have said and do what you know is the right thing but do it in private. Dean Quit fueling this war, you need to keep the bad remarkes to yourself and let this reunion happen you are not doing the right thing. Your wife does not need protecting against her mother she needs to take the journey and see where it leads them both. Good Luck and May God Bless

i watch your show every week. I think you are a great family. i think it is great how dean treats you. he looks at you like your a million dollars. I think that is wonderful. i have watched you for years ever since you were on the first 90210. i think you are a great person. I have four kids. i know what its like to be busy. i applaud you for all the stuff that you do. keep your chin up with your mom. just remember you have your family, its her lose not yours. also i think it is so amazing of you for what you do for the Guncles. keep up with everything.

I have to say I am not a television junkie, and usually a reality show hater; but Tori - your show is absolutely fantastic! I look forward to you, Dean and kids every week. Your life amazes me on what you and Dean have accomplished together as a family. Just bought both of your books on CD - so I can listen while in traffic driving to work every day. Keep up the great work! You're an inspiration to many that you can hold a job (multiple for you!) and be a great wife and mother at the same time. You can't change the past - but the future is all yours!

I just wanted to tell you Tori and Dean that I watch your show as much as it is on! I've watched all these other "reality" shows and they just don't seem very realistic. I just wanted to let you guys know that you are very "real" people, and actually feel like people that you could talk to as normal people and not get star struck. Which I mean with the utmost respect.
I know you guys probably don't see the millions of blogs you get a day, but I just thought that I should tell you what a wonderful family you guys have, and that you do truely inspire us "real folk", lol. Anyways, thanks for being so real with us all and keep up all the amazing work you guys are doing! God bless you, and your family.

This Grandma thing has been eating at me. While I have no idea why I care so much, it really bothers me. I've waivered between why don't they have a private party or meeting with Gram to meet Stella and why is Grandma being so snobby about coming to their house. Finally, had an epiphany. A mom does anything she can to help her kids, period. A grandma does twice that much without thinking what it wil cost her. What is the big deal about being on the show? Does she remember that Mr. Spelling got rich off T&A shows? Would it kill her to help them boost their ratings (not that they need it)? I do not understand why she is too good to help her own kids. To never have seen your one year old grandchild is a disgrace, to not have seen your first grandson in over a year is unthinkable. No matter how upset you are with your kids, you don't use the grandkids as a weapon. Gram.. you are just not all that, so get over yourself.

Tori,
Happy Birthday Stella!! Congrats to the Guncles!! I am hoping your mom does show up at the birthday party with lots of gifts for both of the grandchildren. Maybe she can get over herself to be happy for you and your family. If she does not show up well then you know how she feels and never bother with include her in your family parties. Dean is trying to be supportive and he wants the better for you and just focus on your own family and have faith in GOD and let him take care of you and family.

Hi tori I really think it was a good idea for you to invite your mom to stella"s party i better go bye

Dear Tori,
I could say so many things and repeat what others have said before me, but I won't have you read the same ol' same ol' all over again. There are so many thing you do & believe in that are very inspirational to me. The way you and your family(this incl. your friends) love and care for one another shows in every episode. You are blessed to have so many people in your life filling your days with love and laughter.
I wish you much success and happiness!
Take care ~ Heike
PS: I would love to send a small gift for the babies, but would never do so without your permission.

Also I would like to add the Guncles are amazing and their ceremony was beautiful, props to you. I cried when they did their vows, they came right from the heart. Screw Prop 8 when people are in love, no matter race or gender, who is anyone to judge. You love who you love, everyone has a soulmate and they found theirs. I can't wait to see their new addition. They will make awesome parents with nothing but love and devotion for their child.

Hey Tori I think you are absolutely fabulous. You and Dean are so perfect together. You remind me of my fiance and I. He also rides a sport bike, so I totally know how you feel. My anxiety goes up every time he rides that damn thing. What us women will do for our men.
On another note I think your children are beautiful and you are doing an awesome job. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

Tori i thank u're an awesome mom dnt let anyone tell u different(ur mom) keep up the good work i love lady bug and monkey i love ur show much love u n dean r great parents

Hi Tori
Just want to say that I like the show. Now that you are a mother and want to spend every waking hour with your kids, its hard to fathom why your mother or any mother did not want to do the same with her kids. I think thats the biggest issue here. She is not going to change, she parented differently, had different experiences, and will never be the hands on, motherly grandma you really want her to be. I am not defending her, to truly understand why some mothers are that way you would have to go through how they were brought up i guess. My mother is the same, has no interest in spending any time with her grandkids, just not interested. She really doesn't know what to do or say to them. She was much the same with my sisters and me. Now how can i expect her to spend time with my kids if she never spent time with us. Its sad really, for everyone, she has no clue about who my kids are, and they are great kids. My mother in law is much the same, she picks arguments with me, and hates me with a passion, so we have stayed away from her for years to. My kids have no family that they see just my husband and myself.
It works, you seem to have great friends around you that are like your family anyway, so let it go. Go to a Psychiatrist eery week and unload how you feel, it will be a great release.

Tori, I doubt you get a chance to read all of these comments but I just had to say that I think you are a great mom and wife. What is going on with your mom is very unfortunate but I think you made the right decision to invite her to Stella's birthday party. I read both of your books and your mom's book and I honeslty feel your mom loves you and your kids but does not know how to be a mom. Hopefuly she will continue to have a relationship with your kids and at this point in your life thats all that really matters. My dad was the same way, he was a good dad in that he worked hard to support his family (six kids! I am the youngest.) we never went without but he was not an emotional man, my mom did all the loving, hugging and kissing. I truely feel for you in that you did not have that kind of a relationship with your mom and you may never have a great relationship with her but I think she is really missing out when it comes to your kids and what a great mother you turned out to be. My dad was suprisingly loving when the grandchildren came along, now 13 so far but unfortunately he passed away 11 years ago and did not get to meet some of the grandkids. I think you are smart to protect your kids and if it will not be a healthy relationship then I would cut ties so your kids never have to feel the way you do about your mom. And just for the record you are nothing like you mom except the party planning, you will always have a bond with your kids that she never got to experience with hers (by her choice). Your kids will never grow up wondering if their mom loved them or even want a relationship with them! How sad for you mom that she has missed out on so much with your kids already. Stay true to yourslef and do what is best for your family, you are the only one who can be a mother to your kids and you are doing a great job, don't ever doubt that! If people want to gossip about your parties then let them, everyone that goes to your parties sure look like they are enjoying themselves. As far as the big birthday parties....go for it! I am the same way with my daughter, who is 8 but every year we throw a huge party and she loves it! On her birthday she wakes up to her room filled with balloons and a trail of some sort to one of her birthday gifts from mom and dad! What kid wouldn't love a big party on their special day, even if they don't remember some of them you will and they can always look back at pictures when they are older!
Keep up the great work, I love the show and your books. One question I do have is where will Little Maven be sold? Is it just in CA? We live in MN I would love to be able to buy some of the clothing!
From one mom to another....your doing a great job!
Maureen

Tori you needed to do what was right for you in the situation with your Mom. Hope it works to your favor. As for the ceremony it was gorgeous. I felt like I was there with you as I was also sobbing with joy. Congrats on all of you and Deans succeses including your two beautiful children.

Tori you are a true friend, and you have a great bunch around you a baby would be lucky to be apart of your family, so I wish them all the luck and you to auntie tori lol

Tori!!!! You are truly an amazing person!!! Mom, wife, friend...just YOU! You have such an inspiring outlook on life. You truly make me want to be the absolute best ME! You have the most incredible support around you...Dean, the fabulous Guncles, your friends, your in-laws, your uncle and his gal...they are your true family...they are there to lift you up and to catch you if you start to stumble (They won't have to pick you up, because they WON'T LET YOU FALL)
When they tell you to slow down long enough to "just breathe", I hope you listen (at least a bit) I know... because of your mom you are so used to ALWAYS trying to be "perfect"...because you have spent your entire childhood not just trying to make her proud of you, but trying to get her to JUST NOTICE SOMETHING POSITIVE about you or your efforts.(That's how I've always been with my mom.) Remember, her mistakes DO NOT DEFINE YOU! I don't "know" my mom and she certainly doesn't "know" me...she was always too busy "living" her life, without regard to the fact that she had 4 children. We lived in the same house but never connected. When she was present, she couldn't be emotionally "present". We were basically raised by domestics and each other. LOTS of money and no ability to love...that's my mom. Very sad for her and my siblings...who she continues to disappoint and crush because they keep letting her in. It's so crazy, but it was my first son's 1st birthday party (when ALL I could think about was whether or not my mom would show, and if it would be a negative experience for me either way) that I decided I had to protect my children from experiencing the same pain. My husband is so much like Dean in the way that he wants to protect you-I a~d~o~r~e that!! I know so many people must be telling you to "give her a chance"... but, that's exactly what your childhood and adulthood, until now, was. People truly do not understand what it's like to have a relationship like that. I'm sure not here to tell you what I think you should do, I'm just here to share that I so understand how hard this is for you. You do such an amazing job at sharing your feelings and pain about it with poise.I'm so happy for you and your precious family that you, like me, have turned this into an opportunity to learn how incredibly important it is to be a connected, "present" and loving mom! YOU ROCK IT!
Lessons I've learned: ~That sometimes being imperfect is, well, just perfect--especially when it's done with love. ~That eventhough I have no hard feelings toward my mom, it is my responsibility to protect my beautiful children that God put in my arms; by making sure they don't have to endure the pain I've watched my neices and nephews endure by my mom's "not showing up" or following through.
~That life is what it is...and, what you make of it.
I hope to teach my children what unconditional love is, and that life is not a script...family does NOT equal "The Brady Bunch". Your mom or dad might not be capable of being who you "wish" they could be; they might be Guncles(or G-aunts); they might not be your birth parents; they might be in a healthier place by being in two separate homes... you get the idea. Your family is the group of people that ARE there for you, that you KNOW you can trust with your heart and your children's hearts. True love is unconditional love that helps you to grow as big as that h~u~g~e, red mushroom at lil' ladybug Stella's 1st birthday party!

Tori that was a fablous wedding. I loved how you improved with the dress. Even more I loved how graceful you fell in the dress. You are a great friend.

Tori,

You are so cute. I love watching you. To be honest I never watched 90210. I think you are a great Mother. I have 3 little boys of my own. We call our boys monkies also. Please continue to be a great mother and I hope you influence others.

Jamie Cuellar :)

Tori, I am purchasing my first home and really love your bedroom decor. what brand is it? Love your show :) I don't miss it.

Tori, I don't know if you ever have time to read all of these comments, but there is something about you that makes me want to watch your show and write to you. I guess it's the fact that you remind me so much of myself in so many ways; however, I have five years on you and I just want to yell out, "oh sweetheart I know exactly what your going through and this will happen or this won't". I'm the youngest of three and like yourself I love to have family around as well, but that's a little hard to come by. Growing up we had a "maid/nanny/helper" and I don't know what she was really called but I just knew that she was in our lives and then one day she was gone and I didn't understand why and something told me not to ask about her until recently. She was from Peru and she started off as our next door neighbors maid when we lived in New Orleans. Her name was Naomi and she barely spoke English. She worked for the couple next door, the man was American, but the woman was Peruvan royalty and wasn't really happy with her and was going to send Naomi back to her village, but my mom understood that once a girl was sent back they were usually either killed or sold into slavery for the shame they put on their family, and that's just something my mom couln't put up with. So Naomi was "given" literally to us and our neighbor got another girl from the same village, who turned out to be Naomi's sister. So, at least they got to be together.
Naomi was the sweetest "girl" to my sister, brother and myself and could cook! Lordy, my mom still has her receipes and cooks from them today. She made each of us a Peruvian doll that I still have. She traveled and moved with us for the first couple of moves that we made, but then she was sent for by her family because her parents were in poor health and she was needed at home (I found this out later). She promised to come back as soon as she could, but she never did and I lost my Naomi. That was my first big loss in my life. A constant loss in my life is my sister, Janna. She is 3 1/2 years older than me and my brother, Bobby or Bob is 14 months older than me. Janna never wanted siblings and she made that crystal clear when my parents brought us home from the hospital. First with Bobby she said "what am I supposed to do with this" and with me it was "you did it again?". Can't you just feel the love?! She meant it and still means it to this day. She wanted to be a only child. I keep trying to have a relationship with her and she keepings shooting me down time and time again, but she does get lovey dovey when other people are around and of course I eat it up when I should call her out on it but I can't because I want a relationship with her. My mom even says just let the dog die. Why hurt yourself over and over again? It's her loss and one day she's going to realize that because ( and this is my mom talking) carma's a bitch. All the love you've poured to her your entire life that's been rejected from her is going to come flooding back to her as time that she needs and it's not going to be there and she'll recognize it. Tori, I think that's what Dean is trying to tell you. I do understand you want the love from your mother for your kids. But karma's a bitch and she's gonna run out real quick just like Randy is and when they need it, hopefully you'll be strong enough and Liam and Stella (love the names by the way) will be strong enough and know what you've gone through with your mom and brother and like I said, charm's a bitch.
Take care sweet girl. Your married to a wonderful man, you've got two precious children, and sorry I'm in agreement with Dean, have another now, you produce absolutely beautiful children and you've got talent out the wazoo!

Your in my prayers.

Please write a party planning book. Every time I watch you throw a party I want to call you and say help with my next party. I love to plan anything but am not very creative, YET! I need help. I hope to start a family in the next year or so and need the help. Tori Spelling- A guide to party planning. It could have all types of themes. Luau, kids parties, 40th b-day.....and so on. It would be great. Having a Luau in a couple of weeks and would have loved to have pointers. Take care. By the way love your friends. Wish I had friends like that. The Guncles are an inspiration.

Hi Tori,
Ok I hate to be a party pooper, I know Candy did not show up to Baby Stella's first birthday. It is all over the internet, just look it up on google. I love you I'm not trying to be mean but even if Candy did show up, you could not show her on the show, I mean she would not allow it for one for two it is a one of the rights to freedom. I love you Tori, and your books!!
♥'s to Tori, Stella, Dean, Liam, Patsy,The Guncles and all your friends and maybe a new addition to the family soon!.. heyy I can hope.
Hope to see you on another season of Home Sweet Hollywood.... I really really hope.
Hears to the haters, Chelsea Handler. I do like her show but I hate when she says the rude crap about you! Your beutiful Tori, don't let anyone tell you diffrent!
Lot's of heart's, Brooke♥

Tori, I love the way you plan your children's parties and I know you love to plan them. You do great with weddings too! Plan my daughter's second party!! : )

I love your show! You're such a real and likeable person.

Tori-I was wondering on the season finale with your mom eventually showing up for Stella's 1st birthday-are you all going to be just on break or is this it as in no more-I'd really like to know??
I've become an ongoing fan of you and your wonderful family I hate to see everyone go. So what's the scoop on this??

Renate in Colorado

ps could you reply back to me maybe in a regular e-mail or your fan newsletter maybe-I'd love that.

Hi,
I love your eyewear. I wear glasses as well and love changing frames. I am in the Air Force, so I must wear brown, black, silver or gold. I try to find frames that I won't get in trouble for. I was wondering where you get your frames? I really love the pair you were when you were planting the garden for your kids.

Tori-Absolutely loved the show. The fashion show of your Maven clothing line was wonderful. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and a 1 1/2 year old son and I'm always looking for some new and exciting clothing designs for them. I really relate to some of your dilemmas with your mother. Since I had have my daughter my mother has definitely been absent from my children's lives. Anyway great show and look forward to next season. Love ya....

dear,tori my daughter and i love your fashion line, but we where thinking what if you mad a fashion line for teens. my daughter is 11 she would love to see your fashion line around her age.also we think liam and Stella are adorable.

(: thank,you :)

Hi Tori
I am a thiry five year old afro american and I wanted to tell you that you so inspirer me. I have two boys and you are such a great mom. I love the realatioship that you have with all of your friends and the love that you and Dean so clearly show your love for one another.I love that you watch the woman your husband are around if more woman did that there would be more happy marriages. I have no idea where suzanne is this season i only saw her twice but I was thinking the last season she better watch the woman close to her.stella and liam are the cutiest and they take great pictures.I could write a book about how great I think you are.

Dear Tori,
On a different note - I wanted to tell you that I LOVE your JEWELRY on HSN - and I love you and Dean as well (and your darling kiddos)! Its so fun to relate to you and your trials...as a mom of two myself... You rock sister!
A while back you had a FAB piece that sold out on HSN which was a really large 3 stone necklace that looked like black onxy in gold. I would LOVE it if you brought that piece back to HSN! Can't wait to see what you have coming up in August on HSN as well! I hope you are going to be on air on the 10th!
Lots of love,
Clare

Tori, You are doing a wonderful job with your family, I love your show. Hang in there and go with your heart.
Oh, by the way, tell the doctor that delivered Liam and Stella that he sure is CUTE! janna

Hi Tori,

I have a similar relationship with my mother. Actually my mother hates me and I have continued to try to please her for years. It does not work. I continue to get crushed. I have three children and they rarely see her. I have no friends so take your friends and embrace that family. Life is to short for being hurt over and over. You will never be good enough for mothers like ours.

HI Tori!

Im very busy mom like you, so I dont get to watch your show when I would always like to, so thank goodness for Tivo, lol! Anyways, I was watching the episode when you were all over the place and Dean was shooting in Calgary and you guys had to say your good~byes for a several weeks and I just wanted to say I totally feel for you! I cried my eyes out right along side of you! My hubs is in the military and when we say our good~byes its for anywhere between 6 months to 18months and when I was watching you I felt all the pain and sadness you had for Dean leaving as if it was my husband leaving and going to Iraq or Afganistan! You may be a super star fashionista..but you are still a wife and a mother and we all love and hurt the same!! Keep up the good work supermom!!

Jessika and Fam!

Hey Tori - love your show and have become a fan. Never watched 90210 I was a melrose fan but listen. Call your mom and work it out. Things happen in life and they're not always expected. My father died in 1972 when I was just 5. My brother and sister were fighting with him when he died and almost 40 years later it is the biggest regret of their lives. None of us had the Brady Bunch. Life is just too short.

Tori,

I saw your show for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Your issue with your mother hits home with me and want to let you know that you have my support. I have many of the same issues with my mother. I feel you did the right thing in including her in Stella's birthday plans, and from what I read in the paper she didn't show. It is her loss. Who knows what drives some of these women...the control, narcissism, self indulgence...your mom has not seen her grandaughter at all for the first year of her life? Shame on her. And to not attend her birthday party because of her own ideas of how things should be is shameful. I wish I could tell you how much my mother is like yours. They don't change, they never will because they are never wrong. It is always about them. Good luck to you and your family, you have a great family unit and your kids love you. It is sad when people love themselves more than their own kids or grandkids. God Bless!

Hey Tori
I have a challenge for you I know how you love to throw partys and your very good at it. My son will be one next march 2010 ws wondering if you would help me plan it. The catch is i would be on a budget. It would be such an honor. Here is my e-mail in case you take the callenge and I will e-mail you a little bit about my family and send pics. I think you and dean are such amazing people.
Thank you
Brenn

Hey Tori,
I love ur show i watch it every Tuesday and sometimes have to watch it online too. I want u and Dean to have more sexy scenes! Ever since Dean had the wreck yall two just have not been the same, i can tell that there is something going on between yall! And it makes me sad cause yall are a great couple and have lots of love for one another. I like when yall have love and most imporant when i can see it come out all the time! I look back at shows from past seasons and think they have really changed the way they act to one another....I miss the late nite scenes when the kids have gone to bed and yall go and get it on in bed!! hahhaha I miss that Tori and Dean! I want to see that vibe back between yall.

Let me just say that I have never registered on a site to comment on anything in my whole 33 years. I just wanted to say that yesterday I watched a marathon of "Home Sweet Hollywood", (normally I work 60 hours a week but just happen to be on a do nothing vacation) and I just loved everything about it. I laughed, I cried, so many things that are out of the norm for me watching reality T.V. I am now going to buy your book because I am so curious of your life( a little invading right?) You should be very proud at where your life has gone considering your childhood and everything you had growing up, It really says something about you. I can tell that you love your children and husband so much and those are the things in life you can never put a price on. People place judgement on other people whether it be out of jealousy or spite and no matter who we are, where we live, how much money we have, it becomes exhausting defending who we really are. So just in case you were ever questioning yourself, you really are amazing and just know that you have a fan who laughs with you when you are laughing at yourself.

Tori, I would not want to be in your shoes trying to fill out the adoption form. If it was me, it would be at least one typed page attached; plus some video of them with Liam & Stella. They deserve to be parents & would make wonderful dad's.

I wrote in their blog that I wish I was young enough to have kids as I would consider being a surrogate for them.

Love the episode last night; I enjoy seeing uncle Danny. He's a true gem. I thought that with everything that was shown, each event could have been focused on more; planning Stella's party, Dean's license, the Little Maven fashion show, then Stella's party, then at least 1/2 a show saying good bye to Patsy. I know that had to be hard.

Watching Liam, where has the time gone? He's not a toddler any more, graduating to big boy.I can see him being an actor.

Stella, what a beautiful little girl she is. My heart melted when she "walked" the runway in that beautiful dress.

I would gladly be their grandma (yes, I'm old enough to be).

I sent a lengthy reply to the Huffington Post article linked on the T&D main page, not sure if it will be posted.

Sending you a huge cyber hug. You should concentrate on Dean & the kids until your heart heals. I know you are hurting. We went through similar things at the same time; unfortunately my kids are older, so they know the hurt. Be thankful yours are young; everything is do #&@% ented, they will make up their own minds & I think will say you've made the right decisions. My BM (birth mother) does not have the option to watch my kids grow up on TV - has been out of their lives since my dad passed in 2006. Things that were left to them they did not get, they were sold.

Move on right now. Know in your heart that your dad would be very proud of you. It's like Uncle Danny said; watching you with your kids, your such a hands on mom; you could see how proud he is of you; the love he has for you. Your dad is with you always. If you open your eyes you will see. I feel that your kids were a gift from him; he gave you Liam when you needed it; same for Stella.

If you consider writing another book, I'd love to read about your dad from your eyes. I'd love to read how you are dealing with his death. 3 years later, it's still painful to me.

(((HUGS)))

Tori-

i hope someone in your staff at oxygen passes this to you.

my mother and my grandmother have had the same feud that you and you mother have. in all my birthday pictures i only have one that has her in it . i know in your heart you want that grandma bound with you children. i might come and it might not. I have seen my mother cry like you. i have seen the hurt that she has put on my mother. that i wish you children will never see again.
i know it hard to cut the cord and i completly agree with dean that you need to cut the cord. you have a huge family aready and with out the candy drama. you have friends that support you and love you and love your own family . I knew i never need my grandmoter cause my mom was there my god fathers were there my mothers friends were there. my grandaunt was there (my version of uncle danny) my grandaunt filled the void of grandma for me she knew the damage my grandmother has caused our family. she was there every birthday high school graduation big milestones in my life she was there. shes been gone for 7 years now and i miss her alot. but she has been there

your life is filled with people who love you and candy is looking on the outside trying to rip the walls with her open letters and lies. i have read both your books i understand it know were you are comming from. it took my mom 30 years to cut the cord. i choose not to have my grandmother in my life. i knew the damage she is to peoples life. for me that was enough. i hope stella and monkey will have that choice. cause from what i see they dont need her.

i will leave you with this. the episode were you and patsy were sitting on the bed with stella. patsy told you that you are a strong woman and that you need to be strong so you can show stella that she can be a strong woman too. you are stong you are STRONG!!!!!! you have your fathers face his wit his work ethic and most of all his heart. i see so much of him in you. the fears that you said in mommywood will never come to surface because your father is in you.

i wish all the best for you and dean and for monkey and buggy.

Hi Tori,
I have to say that I absolutely love, love, love your show, your style & most of all, your BEAUTIFUL BABIES!!!
I was wondering if you could tell me where I could get the personalized birthday bib that Stella was wearing on the morning of her birthday at breakfast, and also the kids personalized overnight bags you packed for the trip for the Guncles wedding?
Keep doing the amazing job of raising your babies so well. Wishing you much continued success in all of your endeavors!!!

Tori, you are so beautiful....I cannot imagine having a camera following me around!....You and Dean are great parents!...Been a pediatric ICU nurse for 7 years...and the mom of a 4 year old...with the love of MY life!)and trying for our second......and loved the wedding you hosted for the Guncles ( since my little brother will one day be there..)...mom/ daughter relationships are so complicated...but who are "we" the public to judge?.....families are SO complicated!....but you guys will make it!!!

Hey Tori...I watch your show every week. I love it. You, Dean and the kids are truly great. You have a great family. Some of the things you go through with the kids I can relate to. I have a 16 month old son, his name is Corron. Him and Liam would have fun playing. When I saw Liam hit, I said Oh No, Corron is doing that too. I am still dealing with him hitting. Stella's bithday looks like it going to be cute. I feel the same way about Dean riding bikes. I told my boyfriend that he could only ride on track because I felt it was the safest place for him to ride. I was proud of you though when you started to support Dean. He raced very well. I was glad you invited your Mom to Stella's birthday. Like Dean said you are the bigger person. That took alot of courage. I can't wait to read your new book. I think I will get alot out it since having a son close in age to your kids. I have been a fan of yours since 90210. You are such an amazing person. It great to see you branch off into other things. I can't wait for Little Maven to come out. I want to get some clothes for my son. I think the line is really cute. I said tonite Corron (my son) could have been one of your models for the fashion show. Keep up the good work. I wish I could meet you and our kids could have a play date. Take Care

I just wanted to acknowledge your courageous acts whenever it comes to very difficult decisions in yours and Deans lives. I truly believe your heart is in the right place.

You are an awesome Mom! Hopefully now that you have your little girl, and can see for yourself how great you are doing with both kids, you will be able to forever put aside your fears of being a bad Mother since you had a bad example during your childhood. I truly feel that your heart is in the right place when it comes to decisions about your Mother and even though those decisions can sometimes come back to hurt you, I think the pain of that hurt would be nothing compared to the regret you would have for the remainder of your life if you didn't at least try to give her a chance. It also shows your children that no matter what, it's always important to do the right thing. I'm sure you hear this stuff all the time, but I wanted to tell you again. Everyone needs a reminder of good things they do, even if it's only occasionally. You keep up the great work girl!

I have been a fan for years. I still watch the reruns of 90210.Im interested in your clothing line for babies.Where can we purchase them at and if you needed anymore models?If you could email me back and let me know where to order your clothing line because they are really cute!!!I love the show and never miss an episode.

i know this is completly off subject and random....but where did you get your sofa?!

TORI, since I saw you cry on the couch after the wedding Ive been wanting to write you. If there was anyone on earth I could have felt more like it was you. I have been there and felt EXACTLY like you. Even though our lives could be so much different. I felt so much the same. No matter who tells you that your mother should act like those other mothers or she should act a certain way it will never cure that feeling you have inside that YOU want YOUR MOTHER not those others to WANT YOUR CHILDREN. To be the GRANDMOTHER to your children. It just wont go away. So I just had to write to you even though I have never had the opportunity to buy your books or know that much about your past I do know from watching you as a mother and from watching you cry on the couch we share some of the same feelings.
I have been there and have tried and tried to connect with my mother. I completely understand why u do not want to stop trying on getting that approval, response, or any form of maternal feedback from your mother after having your children. I too had a very emotionally detramental mother/daughter relationship. It has effected me to this day.
All I wanted (and was seeking) from my mother all my life (and especially from the time I became a mother) was my mother to just say to me "good job" "the babies are beautiful", "lets spend the day together", "sleepovers tonight," something., anything.! I always wanted her to be proud of me now that I was a mother since I never thought she was proud of me as a daughter. I thought becoming a mother would make her proud of me. That day never came. My ex-husband and friends to this day always told me you are wasting your time trying over and over to try to get her to come around. My dearest girlfriend always used to say how did you become such a great mother since you never had one. That I cannot answer. All I know is I was not going to make the same mistakes my mother made with me. After a very sad divorce, my father's passing and now being alone with my children my mother has tried to say she is sorry for all those years of wrong doings. I did accept her apologies but have never healed. It hurts and I can totally understand your not wanting to stop trying to reach out to your mother. It is something only those daughters that were cheated out emotionally throughout their lives by their mothers will only understand. Take care and the best of luck to you I wish you and your family the best. P.S. My 2 red-headed girls are now 11 and 12 years old. They are happy, healthy competing ice skaters. We love eath other dearly and have wonderful relationships. I get through my life thinking as a survivor of my past not a victim.

Hey Tori, My name is candice and i just love you to death you are a major role model to me. i belive that the guncles will be WONDERFUL parents because they are so good with liam and stella. And by the way your babies are so adorable. You are an amazing person you help everyone in so many ways and you love your kids and your husband very much. The reason you are such an amazing person to me is because you are very strong i know how it is not to have a mom. I am 17 years old and i have lost my relationship with my mom since i was 9. She got into an abusive relationship and started using drugs. You are such and inspiration to me and many other people keep doing what you are doing. You are the best mom to your kids and because your mom wasnt there for you everyone including stella knows that you will be there for her. you and stella's relationship will be amazing. You are a wonderful person. And as for the GUNCLES they will be in my prayers and i hope to see an episode of there adoption and everything that would be great.

love Candice.

Hello Tori and family,
I have never bloged before but I wanted to tell you how I feel about you and your family. I wanted to congradulate you on being a strong beautiful woman. You seem like you are a wonderful wife, mother and friend. I may not know the hurt between you and your mother and I don't need to know because that is your private life but I couldn't imagine how you must feel and I think you are so strong to make sure that your children don't feel any pain.You made a comment about how happy you are that Bill and Scout found there soul mate. Well I want you to know that you and Dean are perfect for each other.Your love radiates through the t.v. screens every show.I usally end up crying and laughing when you do. I do not have any kids but I can only hope that I am as good of a mother as you are!!!Tell Dean, buggy and monkey I said hi.I would love to hear from you but I know you are busy so don't worry if you can't.

Tori- I love your show and thought the ceremony was amazing and wish the Guncles all the happiness with their ceremony and adoption. I have one question- Why doesnt Dean ever mention his daughter who was adopted and was 10 months old when he left his ex wife. That to me is horrible. He mentions his son but not his other daughter. My husband and I have adopted 2 wonderful girls from China and find it strange that Dean had adopted a baby girl and never mentions her or acknowledge that the girl is his child.

Tori, great show. So glad you have dear friends as the 2 of them. They are the best.

This probably has nothing to do with the show . But i am a 31 year old mother and i have been watching tori for as long as 90210 started. You are my role model you are a great mom and and a great person . i would love to meet you if your ever in new york look me up i am in long island new york. i wish nothing but the best for you .

Love you tori and give my love to your family
Love Robin Lomax

You did the right thing by inviting you mom, you took the first step now it is up to her to decide if she wants to be a part of their lives or not. There is only so much you can do.. Maybe the party was to public and if so, she needs to take the next step. You are an amazing person and I have to say you and Dean are truly amazing parents! Keep it up they will be just fine. Can't believe it is the end of another season. Already anxiously waiting next season. I have purchased both of your books and enjoyed them both. And refuse to purchase that other book.. :) You are a very talented person and I am sure you Dad and Mimi are looking down on you and smiling at who you are and what you have done so far in your life. Be Proud of yourself and your accomplishments. As for the mom issue, sadly, sometimes things just can't be resolved. I know easier said than done.

i LOVED THE FACT THAT YOU INVITED YOUR MOM TO sTELLA FIRST BITYHDAY PARTY, BUT IT MAY BE TOO MUCH FOR HER TO SHOW UP ON THE AIR IF IT IS, GIVE HER A CHANCE TO COME SEE YOU WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE NOT ON. WORK IT OUT tORI, LIFE IS TOO SHORT, AND YOUR MOM IS GETTING OLDER EVERY DAY.

Hi Tori! Do you & Dean even know how much your fans love you guys??!!?!?!? I, for one, simply adore you (& your beautiful babies)!! I'm a 40-year-old who has watched you grow up & I am so impressed with the level-headed, kind, stylish woman you've become. I've watched you in everything from "90210" to your current shows & I've empathized with many of your trials & tribulations - I'm 100% behind you & your conflicted feelings toward your Mom (I had the same type of relationship with my Mom) - I wish I could give you some solid advice - unfortunately, there's no quick, general solution that adequately applies to all. And don't even get me started on the press you've received about your figure - don't listen to any of it, unless, of course, they say "she's a healthy, beautiful, busy Mom" - anything else is BS. Congratulations on your happiness with Dean & your babies - you deserve the best!!! You & Dean are so meant for each other - you both have that cool/fun attitude but still seem very down-to-earth, responsible & approachable. Keep up the good work with your professional endeavors & don't let the haters get you down - you rock!!
Sincerely,
Melanie K. Allen-McCune

Tori, I'm sorry about what your mom did, I know it was a while ago, but we all just saw it recently. Just know, that you are the better person, and did the right thing by inviting her, and that it was out of the goodness of your heart, not a publicity stunt. And you know that you would never do that to Stella. You are the leaf in the family tree, to make that change.
Take care.

Tori
I just wanted to that I love your show. Your family is such an inspiration. I have had some of the same issues with my mother. My Father and I are very close. My mother and I however, are not. I love my Mother but, at times she can be vicious and cruel with the things she says and the way she acts towards me. I am 40 years old and it still hurts. Dont give up on her though. I still have faith that one day my mom and I could have the kind of Mother / Daughter relationship that we are suppose to have.

I just want to start by saying that I LOVE YOU Tori. You have such a beautiful family. I my self am married to the love of my life. God blessed me with a little boy named Aidan and a baby girl named Annali. I to spend a lot of time away from my love. He is a Marine, so I know what its like to be away from the ones you love the most. I love your show and I never miss it! I wish you nothing but the best. One of my dreams is that maybe one day I could meet you. Love Jessica

would you just mind your own business candy...i am so sick of you and your negative comments about tori and her kids. tori is doing nothing wrong. last time i checked you didn't have any mother of the year awards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tori,
I don't miss your show for nothing in the world.
You and Dean are the best parents, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm a single mother of twin girls, and I don't have any family support. They are all gone to heaven. We have to be strong for our children, and I try so hard not to show my sadness inside to my girls. I sometimes cry myself to sleep, because I get so overwhelmed with so much stress in raising my twins alone. I can feel your saddness about your Mother not being their for you. Tori one great person you have is Dean who is a great Dad, and husband. He is your main support and may the Lord Bless you and Dean forever... Love, Zulie

HI TORI!! LOVE LOVE YOU AND YOUR SHOW...YOUR KIDS ARE BEAUTIFUL... I AM REALLY HAPPY FOR SCOUT AND BILL!!! I KNOW I DONT KNOW THEM BUT I AM STILL SO HAPPY FOR THEM AND WISH THEM THE BEST OF LUCK....
PLEASE KEEP DOING THE SHOW ME AND MY HUBBY LOVE IT ...YOU AND DEAN SEEM TO BE GREAT PARENTS ..JUST LOVE YOU GUYS !!

ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS,
EILEEN

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know I love you guys!! I can only hope that my husband and I can be as wonderful parents as you and Dean!! Your family is beautiful and I can't wait to see tonights episode! Keep lovin' life!

Tori, I know how busy you are and I hope that you have a chance to read the July 26 or July 27th blog about adoption in regard to the Guncles. I have the difficult decision to put the miracle in my belly up for adoption. Let me know your thoughts.

Tori, you have grown up to be such a nice young lady, and what a wonderful mommy you are!!
Way to go on your speech at the A List awards!! that was so funny!!
Good luck with your new book, Mommywood, I an sure it will be great!!

Hey, Love the show but my only comment is if Tori TRULY wants her kids to see their Grandma then she should agree to see her off air. They don't seem to have any problem NOT showing Jack on the show so obviously respecting his and HIS Mothers wishes. If you want it bad enough wouldn't it be worth it for your children to see "family" and I put that in quotes as blood does NOT make you family,Love does.

i love the show!! has anyone found those cute bags from last week. i have been looking and looking. help please!!

Hello! I love your show but also have loved you since 90210. I'm not a parent but used to watch children. You are a WONDERFUL mother. You are doing what you can to make them HAPPY and SAFE. That is what matters.
I have a strained relationship with my sister the way you have with your mother. I didn't have the opportunity to be there to watch my two nieces grow up. I have tried numerous times to be a part of their lives but my sister is too good for our side of the family.
Even though I don't know you personally I can tell that you have tried with you mother. There are only so many times you can keep trying and get nothing in return. Don't beat yourself up!
I hope that you can look at your relationship with your mom the way I do with my sister and I. I do love her deeply but she is the one missing out. As long as you know that you have tried everything that is what matters.
I hope that one day I can be a wonderful mom to my children they way you are to Liam and Stella.

Tori,
I love your show. I think you are adorable, your children are precious, and I love the way your husband adores you. I hope you do rekindle your relationship with your mother and the relationship stays strong. She should be so very "PROUD" of the wonderful and caring woman, wife, mother and friend you are. I hope that she will come to realize to cherish what truly matters. You have a loving heart that shows through in everything you do. You did such a great job planning Bill and Scout's ceremony. It looked like so much fun, I wish I could have been there to celebrate too.

Tori, you and Dean are amazing together I love watching your show, it makes me laugh, cry and smile all in one show. Your kids are gorgeous and Patsy wow I want a Patsy in my life.
You guys remind me so much of my husband and myself. The connection you guys have, I know because I'm there and it's beautiful.

xoxo

Can someone please tell me where i can watch the episodes because i just love this awesome family.
I live in Paris, France and i cannot watch these episodes on this site, please help!! Thanks so much
By the way, tori and dean u guys rock
All the best

I love your show, Tori, and I love that you are not afraid to just be who you are.
You are a strong beautiful woman with an absolutely amazing family of your own. I too have a very complicated relationship with my mom, and I strive each and every day to make sure that my relationship with my own daughter is %100000 better that mine and my mother's.
Candy will always be your mother, and you will always love her, but as long as you have done your part to reach out to her (regardless of what the outcome may be), then you can rest at night knowing that ultimately SHE is going to be the one to suffer the consequences of not reaching back for you and her grandchildren.
I just bought both of your books, and can't wait to get started on them. AND can't wait to see what you have in store next!

Tori-I love your show. You're so real and your family is really lovely. Keep your head up about your mother. She seems calculating and mean, not at all the way that a mother should be. I also have a 2 year old son and watching episodes where Liam is throwing fits makes me feel so much better about my son acting the same way! Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

Tori and Dean~
I just wanted to leave a quick note for you to say that I enjoy your show more then anything. It is hard to have a family, work and have a great relationship with your friends, but you guys really seem to work at it. No one knows what happens behind closed doors obviously, so I am sure there is a lot more to the story about your mom Tori, BUT all I have to say is that when you do your best, that is all you can do. I have seen on the show you get upset and it breaks my heart to see anyone upset when it comes to family. I see on your show each week different things in your life, and I have to say I love your personality, and your friends and you are just beautiful. Hold on to that. Everything else will fall into place. When your friends had their commitment ceremony, I was cried so hard. It was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us each week.

Tori: YOUR MOTHER WROTE A COLUMN IN HUFF POST ON CELEBRITY. (strangely, she NEVER mentioned you). But I took the opportunity to ADDRESS HER on the blog she wrote:

"It's certainly interesting how Mrs Spelling always defines herself USING OTHERS (my husband, my daughter, my most expensive house, etc etc).
Try being a REAL PERSON, Candy. Stop posturing and presuming ANYONE cares about what you think.
Your family should be your first consideration. You know why Tori became estranged -- because of the "close" family friend you were going out with before Aaron passed away.
All that money and you had to treat Tori like a pensioner. When you die, what will all that money mean to you then>? Tori has made a success of herself, just like her dad did. She's taken the good things you exposed her to --and made them pay off in clever, creative - and profitable ways. Stop showboating and bemoaning your lack of relationship w/your grandchildren. It's your job to make inroads TO THEM." Signed: Karen Lee

Hi Tori,

I wanted to share with you something that I found shopping the other day. I call my boyfriend, Will, "Monkey" I have no idea where it started, but I even called him that before Liam was born. I was shopping at Pier 1 Imports, and they have coffee cups with Monkey's on them. Just thought I would share because I'm sure you buy lots of monkey things like I do. They also had plates with ladybugs on them! Perfect for your beautiful children.

I love your show and books!!

Hi Tori!
I know you hear this all the time, but I can relate to your issues with your mom. I'm not going to tell long stories here, I know how busy you are, LOL!!! However, I do want to say this to you, and I really want you to hear me--ready?--IT IS OKAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND WALK AWAY. IT IS OKAY TO SAY "NO, I WONT LET YOU PLAY THIS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE GAME WITH ME AND MY FAMILY!" ITS OKAY, TORI, IT REALLY IS!!!
I do know how hard this is, when all you really want is the same mother relationship you see everyone else sharing. This almost killed me, but here's how I handled it and I think this might be a good thing for you to try, too. I had to sit down and write out all the things I was willing to give, and what I was willing to take from her. Like--"I will talk to her on the phone if she calls, but I wont answer any calls after 10pm, or if it sounds like shes been drinking".
This was hard, but it did end the drunken late night calls and it established lines she knew she couldnt cross with me, and changed my role from victim to non-victim. Sit down (if you ever find a moment, LOL) and write out all the things that she does that hurts you, all the things you cannot deal with again, then turn those things into rules to protect yourself. When you are done, you will feel so much better about the whole situation, AND you will have a working framework in which your mother can start a new relationship with you if she really does want one.
You dont have to read these rules to her--just establish them as the issues come up, knowing you are prepared for it. You cant make her want to try. You have a wonderful, special, full, loving life built for yourself, and you cant let her ruin it through these silly games. I havent spoken to my mother is about 2 years now, and before I "made my rules" this would have had me in tears on a daily basis. Now, I find I can breathe better, and it doesnt hurt my feelings because I know shes the one who isnt wiling to try. Remember sweetie--there shouldnt be blame in a family, but there is responsibility! You cant pick your relations, but you do choose your family, and you have done a wonderful job in that area--and if you ever doubt it, look at your life, and compare it to hers. Your heart will always hold love for her, but all you can do is thank her for showing you how to be a really great mother, wish her well, and let go. If you dont, you will be hurting yourself, and you dont deserve that-no one does. I wish you the very, very best, and hope my small amount of advice helps in some way. You are a truly wonderful woman, a great mom, and wife! Thank you for being such an inspiration!

Tori i have watched u all my life. And me and my daughter shes 11 watch ur show all the time and ur mom is not wanting to be any part of ur life and them babies lives, because if she did she would make it happened.My mom we never got along but she has always loved me and always been there for me exspecially when i lost my first child a little girl in 1990 she had double anomia and the doctor sent her home saying she was perfectly healthy she had no fever or anyting she was 2 months old but my mom was there and when i didnt speak to her for a year and she was there to hug me and ask me if i was done with my fit lol! but u know what u r a really wounderful mom.I know everybody needs there mom and wants them there but honey ur mom dont want to be there.So u need to pick up the pieces of ur heart and focus on the people who do want to be with u and love you.
Im sorry for being like this but u really need to listen to ur hubby on this one. I am happily married my husband for 20 years there right most of times lol!!!!!
We love u
Ur mom is acting more like a child than a mom!!!!

Tori!!

I REALLY HOPE YOU READ THIS!! :)

I just want to say that I think you're an amazing mom and wife. I adore your two kids and your relationship with Dean. I agree with Dean and I think you're beautiful. I am not a blogger and have never blogged before but I wanted to put some effort into sending you this message. Like everyone else on here, I would LOVE to meet you! I live in Saint Petersburg, near HSN. So you know, when ever your in the area.. ;) I absolutly love your jewelry and if I had the extra cash, Id buy some!! I'm 21 and go to school for Advertising & Marketing in Tampa so maybe I could work for you?? :) Just an idea! I love fashion and jewelry so that would be my dream job! If you want to see that I'm not a weird-o look me up on myspace :) ashleaholland_7@hotmail.com is my e-mail! Thank you so much for reading!! I'll continue to watch you show! You inspire me to graduate college, get a great job, be a super mom and do it with painted nails, heels and great clothes!

Hi - I am in serious denial of technology but after being versed by one of my children on what a discussion board is/was I think I will try and express myself. Sad, I have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and can't figure out "outlook" Anyway -
This is especially for Tori McDermott. Mrs. McDermott I have purchased and read both of your books and out of morbid curiosity read Candy Spelling's as well however, got that at the library :) YOu are an excellent writer! You should be very proud of yourself. As for acting, that goes with out say as I watch "Tori and Dean" as religiously as I did 90210 a thousand years ago. Your matter-of-factness makes me smile on the INSIDE which is where it counts most. I must say that this is an hour of television I truly enjoy. Thank you, your family and friends for sharing part of your lives with me.

I can't say I'm a huge fan or anything but I am drawn to your reality show because you seem like such a normal mom who lives in this very abnormal world.

I just saw some news feed about the latest of your mother's comments. I feel a strong connection and quite a bit of empathy towards you and your family. I too have a difficult relationship with my mother and get very frustrated when people tell me that I should get over it, she is my mother after all. Some things are hard to forget let alone forgive.

I know your husband recommends breaking all ties with her, and I understand your hesitancy. I suspect, although I may be wrong, that you in some way don't want to disrespect your father's memory.

I don't have advice, just know that you are not alone in your dilemma. I suspect you have diapers to change and lunches to make today so focus on your own family. Maybe we can be better mom's to our babies and that in some way will heal the wounds.

Tori - please do NOT SINK to Candy's level when you see what was just posted today. I left the link to what I'm talking about where it says URL.

She should be happy she gets to watch her grandchildren on TV.

I think the show is done nicely; it's not a show about the kids. I have to agree with you that you're doing this on your terms and that Paparazzi would be shooting pics anyway.

I think your father would approve.
He was able to change his TV shows with the times and who knows if he'd have gotten in on the reality show band wagon if he was still here.

Dear Tori - I am totally behind you and your decisions about your mom. I don't know if you read this or an assistant, but I had an alcoholic mom and dad, and my mom did some crazy things. Needless to say, they have both passed, and I have a sister who is older, an dwe haven't spoken for about 7 years. for those who say, swallow your pride and all, screw them - you can't change a person, they have got to change. I have seen you transform into a great mom and wife, and for those who say you are spoiled, etc., screw them - they are just jealous. You work your butt off, and you are an inspiration to me. I have been out of work for 9 months, I am getting my degree, and you let me see that you can do anything. I am a little bit older than you - okay - how about by 13 years - but you have gift of giving to those you don't even know. Much luck to you and love from the Lord for your family - kathleen becker, reno nv - ps - do you ever come up this way?

Dearest Tori, I not sure if you read any of this stuff but I thought I'd try. I totally relate to your issues with your Mom. Being older than you and an Intuitive I always try to see each experience from a higher perspective. I have several points to make and hope they help you.

1st - I believe as souls we choose our parents for whatever lessons we come here to learn. Yes, this is a tough one to swallow as I also had to do this. My mother was married 3 times. My bio father was gay and didn't get to know him until later in life. Dad 2 beat us often and hard. Dad 3 molested me on several occasions and at 11 years old when I told my mom she said that I was just jealous that she had a man and I didn't. Of course my ego self says, "what the F!". My higher self or spirit knows that the ulitimate purpose of this earth school is to learn unconditional love and at the soul level she agreed to teach me that. I know as a human being she did her best with the tools she had.

2nd - Sure - our Mom's are not what we think a mother should be. What I ask you to do is to mourn the loss of that image and let it go. What could your mom possibly teach you? Well, she taught you how to be a great mother for one. We have this image in our minds that teachers are to teach us in the possitive form only but if we open ourselves up to every person here as either our teacher or our student (usually both) then it's easier to see the lessons. Some teachers teach by being a bad example - for example your mom taught you the kind of mother you don't want to be. The hardest part is mourning that ingrained image of what we wanted our mothers to be and accepting what they are instead and working from that point.

3rd - I notice you do as I do. You cry when you witness real love. I know that part is hard because it's so beautiful and because you have that hole that was never filled by your mom that to stand and witness real love is very emotional. I also am like you and cry whenever my husband leaves. That's co-dependance and abandoment issues. Just know that and settle into his love and don't be afraid that some day it may be taken away. Let go of the fear baby!

Anyway, I hope you get the chance to read this and I hope it helps you.

Love and Blessings!

Tori,love the show. I think Dean is right about your mom but you had to do what you did for your own reasons. Now is up to your mom to take it from there. if she doesnt come to party then be down with her!

Hi Tori,
I was just reading the Huffington Post and saw the TMZ piece from your mom. I just want to say that I am so sorry for everything--your childhood problems and the pain you are still going through today, not to mention the fact that each time you seem to try to reach out to your mom, she goes on the offensive in public. I just don't think that is ethical and it makes me sad that a mother would act such a way to her child. I also do not agree with your mom when she was saying: "The same old whining gets tired after a while. Enough complaining about what may or may not have happened during first grade or YMCA camp, or what vegetable you were forced to endure, especially when you are privileged enough to be on TV and get paid for it." Regardless of your status, you still hurt and still need love all the same. Further, there are things that have caused real damage from different aspects of our childhoods (this is the case for you and many other people out there). To dismiss these things is to not have an understanding of how alone and sad a child was at her developmental phase when these things were happening. It reminds me of how people say that people should get over child abuse, sexual or otherwise, once they are adults. It isn't that easy. If you don't work through those painful things and experience the range of emotions, you can never fully heal and move forward. I think you are amazing Tori. I'm so sorry for your struggles and pain.

Tori,

I just wanted to say i love your show and your family is awesome. I envy your marriage, you guys are so in love. Dean shows you that he loves you and that is beautiful, b/c usually guys don't show it very much. You are a fun and beautful person and very easy to relate with even though we have to different lives. I am a mother of two also.thanks for the inspiration to be happy in lifew no matter what your going through.
God bless.
Amanda

Tori...I just read the open letter from your "Mother" and I do use the word Mother very loosely!

Honey Girl, it is time you erase her from your life. You would be far better off to not allow her to hurt you anymore. Your need for a Mom, is only allowing her the tools, to hurt you over and over again!

NO ONE can hurt you, unless you allow them to. Listen to Dean, he loves you...let the woman who gave you birth go. She is a rich, lonely, hateful , mean woman. You would not let another living soul like her, near your children, just because she gave life to you does not mean you need to let her in to your childrens lives, to eventually hurt them. The best gift she could give to Stella was not coming, her loss!

You have Patsy, allow her to be a surrogate Grandma, they have great Gunckles, they have your gay husband, they are blessed...I am almost 60 and adore your children, I will be their Grammie...or Mimi as my grandson calls me.

Tori, you are a wonderful, loving, very caring young woman. You have a husband who adores you and two wonderful children and hopefully more children soon...hold on to the good and let go of the bad.

That she would do this to you in public, only let's everyone know, she is, as we all thought, a spoiled, envious, rich bitch! You have so much more in your life than she ever had and she hates you, because she cannot buy what you have!

Tori,

As I type this to you my son is trying to chew the toilet paper he found in the bathroom. (Note to self - Keep that door closed..lol). I hope you read these comments, as you have so many fans who love you like you were a member of their extended family. I myself feel as if you were a sister to me. I moved to CA 4 years ago from NY. My hubby and I wanted to give it a go and see if we liked it. I left all my family behind and went through major withdrawal. Last year I had my son. Being far from home was even more relavent to me. I feel blessed that I had such an amazing husband who took care of me. I see you with your kids and understand the ups and downs. Thank you for sharing those and making me like I am not alone. I too have a guy who's my bff. He is not gay...but I would trust him with my child in a heartbeat. Thank u soooo much my mommyhood sister, from my monkey doodle Lucas and me.

Tori,

You are a wonderful mother to Liam and Stella! It shows in every show how much you love those babies and no one should ever say any different. Good luck in everything you do and NEVER worry about your relationship with Stella you and her have such a special bond. Enjoy your kids and husband and live life to the fullest every day!

Dear Tori,
I am a 35 y/o professional woman who works in the medical field and never thought in my life that I would feel the need to share my feeling with a celebrity regarding the events in his/her life. However...surprisingly I find myself doing just that.
I have to admit that until your reality show aired I had never considered myself a fan. (not like I was an anti-fan or anything...just never been one to pay much attention to celebritites, etc). Regardless, I happened upon your show several seasons ago and was absolutely HOOKED! I found myself watching your show and thinking to myself what a lovely, authentic, funny, passionate and endearing person that you are. You are so genuine and down to earth.
With that said, I have truly been pained to watch you work through the issues that center around your mother. Having a parent pass away is an awful loss, but having a parent who remains in this world, yet chooses for various reasons to be absent from your life is a terrible loss as well. It is a type of abandonment that is devastating and deliberate.
I have seen you reach out to your mother publicly on several occasions (and I'm certain that you have reached out privately as well) only to be rebuffed time after time. Of course I don't know your mother, but her behavior is petty, self-centered, juvenile and cruel. What a miserable, insecure person she must be. I hope that you realize her behavior says NOTHING about you and EVERYTHING about her. She is toxic, my dear. And there comes a time where we must let go of what we hope for... or hope a relationship to be. We must do so in an effort to heal ourselves, to take the energy that fuels our hurt and put it in a productive place. But ultimately we must do so to protect ourselves and our families.
Let her go.
You are a beautiful person Tori, inside and out. And remember, sometimes we become what we are not b/c of the relationships that we have with our parent(s), but in spite of them.
Keep being the wonderful mother, wife and friend that you are.
Sincerely,
Cody

This is the first time I've ever commented on any type of blog, but I have to say to you, Tori and Dean, are a great example of what a loving couple should be and what loving parents are; you are the best. I love watching your show, you guys are so amazing. You have the biggest hearts overflowing with love. I hope that you and your mother can reconcile and become closer for the sake of Liam and Stella because family is so very important. However, if your mother does not reach out and try to make that connection with her grandchildren, it is not your fault; she will be missing out on a gorgeous and loving daughter as well as beautiful and sweet grandchildren. Stay sweet and don't ever change anything about yourself.

TORI, omg if you only knew how much i really adore your show, i have never found a show that actually keeps you hooked and makes you wanna keep watching, and you and your family inspire me to want a family just like yours with my husband one day, love always Christopher m. Leonard keep in touch!

I found the bags!! I think...
Those adorable bags that Tori was packing for the kids when they went to Palm Springs. I think the brand is Bric's from their Life collection. In the episode, it looked like the bag said LIEF!

I think I have narrowed down the brand name, now I am trying to find the exact bags.

Tori, can you tell us? We want to be stylish mommies like you!

Thanks!

WHERE I LIVE THEY DONT SELL THE MOMMYWOOD BOOKS ` I WOULD LOVE TOO HAVE IT AND STORY TELLING ALSO 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

hey tori i am the biggest fan ever and i love too see what monkeys gonna do next and its so good to see normal ppl on tv and not just those fake ppl that tell the kids what too say and always have a script .. i love tori and dean ans buggy and monkey..

Dear Tori,

I usually don't make it a habit of posting to blogs. However, I have been watching your show with my husband since day one and am touched by you, especially.

My husband and I met in similar cir #&@% stances to yours and Dean's.(Long story) My parents (mother) was very disappointed in me(Long story). However, 17 years later we are still together (everyone thought -- not) and my mother loved my husband more than her other two son in laws (I have 2 other sisters).

My mother past 6 years ago. We resolved issues before that. My daughters made it happen. She adored them. She became the mom I didn't know existed. I was very surprised. Her loving my daughters, made all the other experiences ok. She LOVED my daughters and was the grandmother I wanted my girls to have. They loved her so.

I'm a professor in psychology, dealing with grief and bereavement and other psych courses. I practice Zen Therapy which helps me cope with so many issues we carry with us as a child. I find it helpful. Even therapist experience pain:). We have 3 success businesses (which I started to put myself through school)and have now become family businesses. We are happy 17 years later and planning for 17 more happy and challenging years. Life will happen.

I wish you and your family all the success in you deserve. Take care of yourself and please get some rest. Mental rest.

Respectfully,
Dr. Z

Tori,

I am a first time mom of a beautiful baby boy. I'm not one to write to blogs, but I have to say that I love watching you and your family. I too call my boy "monkey". Your show reminds me how blessed I am to have my family. Right before I was to return to work, I got laid off. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I never imagined I would have this time with my son, now 8 months old. It is the most amazing job in the world. He just became a finalist in the cutest baby contest sponsered by KOST 103.5. Hopefully he can represent your line Little Maven one day. LOL. In any case I want to thank you for showing how down to earth you are, and also that in this crazy town of LA, family is still number 1.

Just wanted to say, as a mother of five, I am proud of the work that you do! You have a wonderful family and don't ever forget that GOD has blessed you in many ways. So thanks for the tears, laughs, and everything in between because I will stay glued to the T.V. and buy all your books! :)

Tori, I remember when I first saw you. You were on the Love Boat, I thought you were so cute and quite good. I watched you on the 90120 show's as well. As a mother if you were my Daughter I would be so proud of you. I have a Daughter I'm proud of her she's fighting Cancer. She's a mother of 4. Your mother and you should work on that wall that's blocking you and her. It's going to take time, it didn't happen just last night. Life is real short, if she can be the grandmother to your kids, that's great because she see's you in them remember that. You are a big part of your kids, I sure she is proud of you but don't know how to say it. PRIDE is a hard pill. You are a good girl, she must have done something right. You are part of her. My daughter and I have problems but we try to work on them. I lost my son in 1988, He was buried a live in a cave-in. He was 13 I almost lost my daughter over it, I got her back, it was alot of work and time and love. I wish I can get back all of those yrs without him. I think you sending the invite to your mother on Stella's party is great. No matter what happens you tried to work on that wall. I'm proud of you. I wish you all the best and you are going to be fine. Love Ya Ellen Holmby

Just wondering where I can purchase those beautiful overnight bags you have for the kids?

Hey Tori!! I just want you to know you honestly are my favorite actress and all around person :) Your a wonderful role model and not only gorgeous on the outside but also on the inside:) You make me want to believe in my dreams and follow them more and more every second! I liveee for your show to watch your wonderful family and you have so much happiness! The past coupel of years have been pretty tough....with family and all..but we are all working through it. :) Your a great inspiration. The love you and Dean share is breathtaking and so great:) You deserve that Tori!!! I love you and hope to meet you someday:)

xoxoxo

Tori

Great epi..loved the wedding! Kudos to Scout and Bill. Hope it lasts a lifetime. Have to say that those that have only negative things to say about you and yours should only be so lucky to have as many loving people surrounding you. I can only hope things get better between you and your mom. I'll keep watching to see..;) I know that the shows are edited, but if what we see is just a little of how life is between you and Dean, you guys are great parents. The kids are adorable. You've made me a fan!

Tori, You are a fantastic mom. I don't know the whole stoty about your mom and you relationship but I can see that you are hurting. I think it is wonderful that you are willing to reach out and give her another shot. You have so many people around you who love you. I see that every week when I watch your show.

Tori- have an unrelated question for you. I am a mom of an 18 month girl, Genevieve. A so called talent agency saw her and asked me to bring her in for an audition. WE did, she dind fantastic did what they asked on que, smiled great, did a little chicken dance even. They called us back saying they wanted her. Only I have to pay money for headshots and then shes in no problem. I have been told if its a real deal, whoever wants her will pay for the pictures. Is this true? Any advice for me letting her do this kind of print work? Also have you ever thought of being an agent for kids? Any info helpsThanks
PS watched you this week on Today-GREAT JOB your are one busy lady!Have a Great Day-Everyday-Jennifer

Tori-I was just wondering how often your fan newsletters come out-any ideas on that??

thanks
Renate

It was a wonderful episode and very beautiful. A job well done Tori-congrats. You're #1.

Renate

You are a great friend and wife. You and your husband compliment each other very well. Stay strong and continue what you are doing with your family. You won't be sorry, ever. You remind me so much of my husband and I and we can't ever wait to watch what you guys will do next. Keep it coming girl and be you. You seem to be best at that.

Tori,

I enjoyed your most episode - the wedding was beautiful. I hope that everything works out well with the adoption for the Guncles. I wanted to comment on the feelings you've been struggling with regarding your mother. I commend you for wanting to invite her to Stella's 1st birthday party. I only hope that Dean truely supports your decision. Afterall, you are behind him and support his motorcycle racing:) Love your show and you are a wonderful mother.

Tori,
I have wanted to write you a letter for a while now to tell you thanks for letting us come into your lives and share a lil piece of your beautiful family. I started watching last yr after my son was diagnosed with cancer and it was such a great escape for me. My lil boy loves the gold fish saying "love ya babe" at the end of the show. I swear I replayed that over and over 1000 times for him! I read your 2 books and laughed my butt off! I bought so many copies and sent them to all of my friends along with your "so notorious" DVDs, that show was hilarious! Good job on being able ot laugh at yourself, it takes gutts to be so honest.
It's been a really rough the past 17 months with my son being so sick, so thank you for the escape. I love everything about you, your style, your honestly, sense of humor etc.etc...and I can definitely relate to the feelings you have about work vs. staying home. You are doing an amazing job juggling it all. Keep lovin and laughing!!!

Tori
I was never a fan until I started to watch your show. I even bought your first book and read it. It was a nice reminder to all that we all have problems and struggles in our life no matter where we come from. You seem like a very sweet and giving person. You and Dean are doing a great job with your babies. Enjoy what you have! I wish you all the best. Good luck to the Guncles on their adoption they seem like they would make wonderful parents as well.

Tori I think you are a beautiful person on the inside and I hope that your mom stops hurting you I want you know that I understand how you feel because I don't have my dad around and that's because he hurts my feelings when he is apart of my life so I gave up and it sucks there are times when I miss him but there's too much heartache there but on a better note you did such a great job planning the Guncles commitment ceremony I wish them a lifetime of happiness...

Hi Tori! I don't know if you actually read these with how crazy busy you are! Anyhow! The ceremony was great hope it wasn't to hot for you and your dress looked great! The cake was so perfect for the fellas! Do you think you will ever be in Ohio. I don't have a lot of money to go far, I would love to come to a book signing or something to meet you. Good luck in all you do! You are a great person and don't let anyone tell you different!

Hi Tori,
I lived the wedding !!!! They deserved it ,I would love to have you for my daughter. You & Dean well I just love all of you Liam&Stella Are beautiful. I wish my daughter and I could get along. I live in Alaska ,my husband is an electical engineer so we are here for his job. You know every time I see you talk about your Mom. I think of my daughter ,she will not speak to me.And I have two grandaughters. Tori you are so sweet ,it makes me miss my daughter who lives in Texas. I do not know what to do ,you're right she is my blood .Your show is therapy for me , I just love you Kiss the babies for me & tell the newlyweds congrats!!

Tori, Have both of your books and I am enjoying the read. You and Dean are truly blessed with two beautiful children. Liam is so funny and smart, talking and running around. Stella is a beauty. For such a young age she truly loves to eat. You are a very loving family. I look forward to each Tuesday's Home Sweet Hollywood and am sad the finale is so close. Please think about having a few special episodes throughout the year for the fans. Miss you all a lot when the show is over. All good wishes to you and your family. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. From Longview, Texas

Hi Tori,

I just want you to know that I started to watch you, Dean and your beautiful children recently and fell in love with all of you. I think that you are an amazing woman, mother & wife. Dean seems like a wonderful husband and am glad you found your soulmate. I always liked you in 90210, but it was "your" show that really made me think so highly of you. You're a smart, down to earth, beautiful & goofy person and I just wanted you to know how much I truly admire you. I look forward to each episode. You are an inspiration to me and I thank you for being who you are.

Yours truly,

Michele Barbato

....You guys are awesome....The wedding was so sweet and gorgeous... Just like the Guncles :)
I wanted to say that however it works out with your mom... you have a real, beautiful family in your friends. They chose you and you chose them-- What could be more fabulous?

Hi Tori I am from Indianola, Nebraska and I absolutly LOVE your show! You are awesome at taking care of your family and at the same time working as hard as you can! On Tuesday I watched your new episode and I LOVED it.Bill and Scout had an amazing wedding and you did a great job creating it!Liam and Stella were absolutly adorable at the wedding, dancing and having a great time! I seem to think I know you because I feel like I'm with you on the show when I'm watching it but really I don't know you but I really want to meet you sometime.If only I could get my parents to take me to L.A, but we can't afford a lot=[ I liked Dean's tattoo!It was pretty cool...you were really shocked about it though! Anyway, I just want to let you know that I am a huge fan and I dont really freak out when I see famous people even though I never have met anyone famous before. Liam is really talkative latley and Stella is soooo cute in her outfits. Well I better go now Bye Tori and say hi to Dean and your kids for me!I hope to meet you soon!!P.S I LOVE YOUR SHOW!!

Tori...I can relate to your plight with your mother. My husband went through the same thing with his mother, and my part in it was to stand back and let him decide for himself what kind of relationship he wanted to have with her...please let Dean know that while you appreciate that he is protective of your feelings, you are the one that has to be comfortable with any decisions made about the relationship between you and your mom. That is what I did for my husband, and he really appreciated that I gave him the space to decide what was right for him. Praying for you that things do work out, but I am so glad you have the guncles and your friends, that are truly your real family. I see you cherish them, and that is priceless.
WTG!!

Tori, I'm sorry for the turmoil within your family, I see how hurt you are. When it comes to your mom, don't ask others' opinion - follow your heart. Yes, you may get hurt again, but when did life come with a hurt free clause? Your mom is still important to you and you should do everything you are comfortable with to salvage a relationship with her. Even a very distant relationship will be better than these feelings of abandonment you have. Please remember, you are a lovable woman with a BIG heart. You will be okay no matter what as long as you have your husband and children by your side.

Tori,
I have just finished Mommywood, which I ran out and bought the second I was done with sTori Telling! I am in love with both of your books, and encourage you to keep writing. You are a talented writer with a knack for keeping your stories light and humorous yet remaining introspective about all of the turmoil your life can bring you at times. I too have a very difficult relationship with my mother (we haven't spoken in five years) and relate to much of the same nonsense that you have and still deal with, with your mother. Keep the faith, I know someday you will both find a way to have a relationship outside of the press. Best of luck to you in the future.

Tori, I am amazed!!! You are an amazing mother and wife. I would like to think of myself as the same. I am a single mother of two boys 13 years and 22 months old. It is not easy by any means. When I first heard that you nicknamed Liam "MONKEY" I nearly died. I have called my son, Cole monkey 22 month old) since birth. I absolutely love the fact that you are such a down to earth mommy as well as wife to Dean. I often watch the show and say to myself " My GOD Tori sounds just like me!!!" Even the silly witty statements that say. My sons have GUNCLES too. lol My older brother and his partner. Almost a mock of my life (minus the fame).. Even the confusing relationship with your mother. Extremely wierd. I watch your show faithfully but am sad to say I have not read your books as of yet but it is on my "TO DO" list. You are an amazing mother Tori!!! and I commend you for all that you do for your family, career and fans. Love you!!!!!

Tori, my heart aches for you and your narcissistic mom. She's the one with the issues. She has that power over you. Dean is right. You need protection from her. Unless you do things 100% her way, she will never accept you. These people do not know the meaning of unconditional love.
Unfortunately, it's a losing battle.
Surround yourself with the people you are most comfortable with.

Hi Tori, i love the show and the first one when you all was doing the bed and breakfast. I am and still is a big fan of 90210. i still find myself watching the show over and over. i even got my boyfriend to watch 90210 when the first put on soap net. i think that you are a very good actress, mom and wife. do you and the cast members from 90210 keep in touch? i boyfriend and is a big fan of smallvill. so the shows that we where on he would say you girl on tori is on the smallvill. is patsy going some where, since she want the next party to be for her? i wish you and your family lots of happiness, you have a great husband and kid's. and a good friend and mother in patsy i can see that she truly loves you and the family just like i see the love you give her. GOD bless

I have enjoyed your show since the first season and never miss an episode. I commend you for what a loving mom you are.I am a mother of 3 beautiful girls ,27,25,and 22 years old who have grown into wonderful women. They always knew they were adored. You are the same with your children as does Dean. You adore them and they know it. They are beautiful well adjusted mini people. Good for you both. Keep up the good work. Congrats on both of your success with all of your projects but I personally am most impressed with your parenting. Fondly....D.B.

LOVE YOU (IN A FAN WAY)

XOXOXO TANYA

Hi Tori and Dean,
First off I have been a fan of Tori's since the original 90210, that was something my daughter and I watched together. I just want to say that I think you are a wonderful mother, and you have an amazing family.
I think you are right as far as extending the invitation to your mom, it makes you the better person, and you are setting a good example for your children. Dean reacts the way he does, because his concern is for his family and not having anyone hurt them.
Tori I'll keep you and your family in my prayers, and just maybe God's grace will touch your mom.

GLASSES....too cute, I hate wearing glasses they bruise my nose and I feel ugly in them but when I see you with your cute glasses it gives a girl hope. Please let me know what brand and style they are and I promise to keep it a secret.
thanks love the show.

Tori - you are absolutely right! Family is what you make it. Family is the people who love you and surround and support you in all your decisions, good and bad. It does not matter if it is a blood relation or not. People who are blood sometimes think that they can hurt us, because we HAVE to forgive them. That is no excuse. People are people! Relation or stranger - it doesn't matter. Either people treat you with love and respect and support you or they don't. If they don't you don't need them in your life, blood relation or not. I wish the Guncles all the best. They will make great parents. They have you and Dean to lead them by example. Wish you all the happiness in the world!

Tori,
I was trying to find the luggage that you packed for Liam and Stella for Palm Springs. I noticed on the front of the bag it said Liefl but I can't find it anywhere! Can you help me out! My nephew needs that cute bag ASAP!

Hi Torie, I to made my baby food 27 yrs.ago, but the best way to store the baby food I found was to put it in ice cubs trays cover it with press an seal and freeze it and when you need it one cub is a serving size it really worked out well and it was very good for them hope you give it a try my baby girl ha ha shes 23 said when she has kids she plans to do the same thing good luck on everything chris

Tori and Dean,
You have an amazing family. I really enjoy watching your show and seeing all the love you have for each other, your family, and the people around you. I loved watching the wedding you planned for the Guncles and wish them well with the adoption. Best Wishes!

PS.
Tori I love your eyeglasses. Can you let me know what brand they are? They are so adorable! YOu can email me at Ladybugkerry69@aol.com

You are right, soulmates are soulmates, it doesn't matter if they are same or opposite sex. I became a clergy woman to "marry" my aunt and her partner. Texas, need I say more, never even had a moment of legal same sex marriage. It was the most beautiful ceremony and heart felt ceremony. I hope that by the time my ss decides to settle down that they have legalized gay marraige so that he and his partner can have the same rights that opposite sex marriages have.

Hi Tori, I'm Ashley and I am 16 years old. I know im just another email but if you would take the time to read this i would really appreciate it. I would like to explain my issues with my mom to you and hear your thoughts. I have never had a relationship with my mom ever. She used to verbally abuse me and sometimes physically. She and my dad divorced about five years ago and she used totell me terrible things about him and my now step mom, like " he cheated, he replaced you, he hates you, doesn't love you enough to stay". Just things like that, that would really knock my self esteem. She would record phone calls my dad and i had when she would allow us to talk. She would leave me in restauraunts at age 14 because i said the wrong thing. It got to the point where iw anted to find out for myself. I caled my dad and asked to see him. It had been atleast a year since i had last seen him and i really missed him ( im a daddys girl ) anyways i found out the truth. My mom has multiple sclerosis, and has had it for like 10 years and she blames everything on her illness or my dad. She is still taking him to court for more money. But anyways, when i told her i wanted to move up here with myd ad she locked me in my room for hours with a drink of water and put a playing card on the outside of my door so it would fall if i left my room. so as you can see she wasnt to please with this. My dad took my mom to court for custody and two years later won. She still holds grudges, and we cant even communnicate. I mean shes my mom and i do love her but i try so hard i give 110% and when i go back its like i get slapped with reality every time. I just want that " mother daughetr" relationship. I know you have problems with your mom and i just wanted to tell you my story. So if you would email me or contact me i would really love to talk more about this. My email is Ashleymorgangood@live.com
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Tori,

I agree you should start a party planning party, ecspecially for kids, I love all the parties you have thrown for Liam and I am looking forward to stellas first. You give me so many ideas for my kids parties.

Thanks, Erin

hey tori its me morgan
just wanted to say u should start a party planning business and interior decorating! i know id hire u!!!! :)

tori i love you very much (in a fan way) and i think it was very nice and sweey you planned the guncles ceramony and party i cant wait until the episode of stella's birthday its going to be amazing xoxoxoxoxo Tanya

Love your show! Where on earth did those kid's bags come from, gotta have them for my four!

Tori- You're the coolest person ever!

Tori,
I feel so bad each week when I see you struggling with the issues of your Mom! It is so difficult for me to imagine any mother not doing her best to make things right with a daughter. I have 2 girls and I would move heaven and earth for them. You are a great mom and it is wonderful to see you makingevery effort to avoid repeating the past. Your mom has no idea what she is missing during this time with her grandchildren and with you and Dean. I delight each day in the sucesses of my children and there is no greater joy then to be part of your childrens lives. Shame on your mom for not working to get closer to you and mend fences. Congratulations to you and Dean for extending an invite one more time for Stella's birthday. Your children are beautiful and it will be her loss if she does not make and effort to know them.

Hey Tori and Dean! I am such a big fan of your show. You have the two cuteist kids ever. I was watching your show today and you were in a picture with your mom and you were wearing oshkosh b' gosh bibs. I grew up and live in oshkosh, wisconsin. I just thought that was cool that you once had and outfit from my city. I would love to hear from you. Feel free to e-mail me whenever you get a chance, I know you are a very busy lady. Hope to hear from you soon!!
your FAN oshkosh2586@yahoo.com Bye

What I understand about you, Tori, is that you are a "Deep River Woman" meaning your spirit is highly evolved and your heart and emotions have great depth. You can not waste your time on any individual, albeit a blood family relation, who doesn't have a deep river but a wet weather stream that gets damp in the Spring. What they don't understand they fear and what they fear they seek to destroy. You have the personal strength to keep your happy little family together and continue to create your dream life. Yes, you work hard, but you are focusing on your husband and kids more than most full time, stay home mothers. Your Nanny was your mother just like my Granny was my mother. We weren't blessed with Deep River Moms, but we found surrogates that filled us up with love.

Since you love writing books, you should write a book about you being thin and looking great. I am a mother of 4 girls.I would love to get in shape. I mean how can I tell me girls to eat healthy if I don't????.

I have NEVER in my life made a comment on a TV show blog and lord knows I watch more than my fair share of reality tv to have opinions :O)Just wanted to send you a message Tori, to let you know that you make me laugh, I so look forward to your show each week, you should be very proud of yourself and your family :O) And my husband, who does not understand why I watch the lives of strangers - ha! said the other day while passing through the room while I was watching your show, "I like Dean." You have no idea how funny that is! I think he secretly watches my DVR when I'm not here...
And finally, from someone who understands your situatuation with your mom and who too has lost a father...make the first move, at least try one more time and then be done with it - from one stranger to another...

Cheers to life, love and happiness :O) - and kick-ass parties!!!

Tori,
Nothing may ever come of this, but I have to ask.
I am on a benefit committee helping a 9 year old girl and her family. This little girls is a classmate of my daughter and is beloved by many, many people. She has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma and is at Level 4, Stage 4.
My job on the committee is children's activities.
After seeing the awesome parties you have thrown for your children and friends, I am wondering if there is any way that you can put me in contact with any of the wonderful vendors that have been at your parties.
The name of the benefit is Tiana's Shining Hope
and the town we are in is Defiance, OH

On Caringbridge.com you can find tianabishop and it shows updates and well wishes from family and friends.

If there is any way that you can help with information it will be appreciated more than you know.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Becky Slattman

Tori,
I can totally relate to you and your relationship (or lack thereof) with your mom. I have a VERY similar situation! Oh, how I wish we could talk things over and resolve the issues. I watch your show for mom advice since I do not have my mom in my life and because I love you guys! My husband has a lot of similarites to Dean and I find you very inspiring!

During this last episode when you were discussing whether to send an invite to your mom for Stella's first birthday and Dean said that his job is to protect you and the kids, that is exactly my husband's response to me when I want to contact my mom. It is really hard to not have her in my life, but at the same time it is really hard to have her in my life. I have found that the best thing was to not have her in my life. Unfortunately, now I am a mom and I am rethinking that decision. I just don't know what to do!!

Tori! I really love your show. You and Dean give me hope that there is actually true love out there. PLEASE don't be another statistic and another one of the couples that don't make it through after their reality show. That would break my heart!!

Hey Tori, love you show, love your family! You are blessed to have so many people in your life. You can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives. So, as for your Mom, I totally understand why you are reaching out. I'm concerned for you getting hurt again. My first grandchild will be born this December and there is NOTHING that would keep me away from that baby! What I mean to say is, for the life of me I can not understand why she hasn't beat down your door yet. I hope for your sake and your kids sake that you & her can be peaceful with each other. But, I would also make this the last chance effort. You can only go through so much hurt. If she doesn't reach back then it should be done, as hard as that is.

I love love love your show! My fiance and I religously watch it every week. I sometimes even watch the Tivo recorded one twice! I am getting married October 3rd and would LOVE if you gave me some expert advice on wedding planning. Your guncles wedding was extraordinary and I thought every last detail was amazing. That would be a great new reality show - you as a wedding planner! Not that you don't have enough to do already! Love you and the family -so real and down to earth! Keep up the good work! :)

Tori,
First let me say I love your show!

People really should stop talking about your Mom so much and what you should do. This should be between you and your Mother period! If and when you decide to talk to her you will know in your heart. Just focus on your wonderful family you have around you. (Dean, Liam, Stella, Patsy, Mehran, The Guncles)

Dear Tori,
As I watched the last episode.. I loved the wedding and the A list awards.. congrads.. you did a stellar job on both.. I kept thinking this woman never gives up.. she is so right dont quit.. is the perfect motto. Finish what you start. Now about the Momma drama.. be careful... your heart is on the line an all the drama you bring home you have to live with.. Know that all of us support you a hundred percent and wish you the best. You did a great job with the wedding. And you do a magnifacant job in life. Keep that thought in you head. Many Blessings.
Shalom.
Callie

You are so kind and down to earth....such a nice thing to see...your honesty makes a person feel for you! You work so hard at ALL YOU DO, and you do it all wonderfully, with a sense of humor and love. The mom thing, that is a difficult one-one in my own way I understand having a mother of my own that thinks all is of her for her and about her, leaving my sister and I really lost-even at our ages....I pray things work out. It is sad to see the pain you go thru in regards to this...You are blessed with amazing friends/family-family isnt always blood, God often GIFTS us with family-people we get to choose, making them so special...filling certain voids, and bringing many smiles. I too have friends/family like this, and coulndt have survived without them....we have 4 kids...20, 18, 13 and 10 and yes they are a persons life-and man they grow tooo fast!! Enjoy each day as you are-you are doing a FABULOUS job...We enjoy you guys..you rock...

hi tori i think you are just terrific. a quick story. i was on the train reading your latest book mommywood when a guy approached me and said i read the first one and it was great how is the second one. i said terrrific. before i knew it there we where five guys your gays discussing your book on the train. we cant wait for the next book to come out. it is so wonderful how you give all your love and support to your friends. i cried when the guncles got married. my partner and i are planning our ceromony next october. we are also together seven years.hope you are having a great day

Tori,

You did an awesome job planning the ceremony. You truely are a wonderful human being. I know you how much you want to heal your relationship with your mom. I hope that it works out for you. She doesn't realize what a great daughter she has. She is also missing out on two beautiful grandchildren. My mom and I were best friends. I just lost her to pancreatic cancer in November of 2008. I had my daughter in June of 2008, so my mother got to meet her and know her for a few short months. I cry everyday thinking of how much my mom will miss out on my daughter's life. I really hope that your mom can reach out to you and mend the relationship. You are doing what you need to do. Let's hope that she will meet you half way. Good luck!

Tori,

I think you should definately invite your mom to the party, but like one other viewer I think you and your mom should meet and talk first away from cameras. You need to heal your relationship away from the public eye and know that you are both doing it for your love for each other and not as a publicity stunt to benefit either of you. I understand the torture you must feel about unfinished business with your mom and agree its hard to just let someone go. But I also think its a very personal, private thing and not one we should all share in. If your viewers are true fans they will understand the need for privacy on your part and will be happy if you are able to mend things between the 2 of you.

Family is so important as you know and understand. I hope you and your mother are able to come together and talk about your relationship and start reconnecting soon.

Good luck to you and your family.

I am a huge fan of the show. My only comment is regarding your Mom. I understand the tumultuous relationship that you have with her. My question on this invite for Stella's B-day...Is this a public or private reunion? If this is for the show, then it doesn't seem genuine on your part. If you are truly sincere, it should be done out of the public viewing and give your Mom time to be reacquainted with you and introduced to your kids. It needs to be a selfless gesture. Estranged relationships are tough but you have to be willing to compromise. Good luck with your Mom and I wish nothing but happiness and success for your entire family.

Tori, it is so great to see your personal side. I've liked you since 90210. I have to tell you, my dad and I have had a VERY ROCKY (to put it nicely!) relationship, and now he refuses to talk to me because I married a mexican! And he has 2 grandkids he has never even met! While I still love him because he is my father, I have no regrets, I have let him know that I would like him in my life, but I can't make him. Also, I believe that after everything he put me through, I don't really want that kind of influence around my children. I have learned that family is the people who love you, not the people who share the same bloodlines! Thankfully I do have my mom and stepdad who are the best grandparents a kid could ask for. That's it though, my husband is also estranged from his parents, and in fact, I now have custody of my 16-yr-old sister-in-law! I know how crazy things can get!

Tori, just one more comment. I hope you and Dean have more children. I can totally picture you with lots of kids. You're too cool of a mom not to have more.

Tori and family, love your show. You're an awesome mom and so funny too. My daughter (9yrs old) and I watch your show every morning together because we just love you and your family and friends. Your kids are amazing. Love Liam when he is in his "no" moods. It's funny to me but I'm sure its not so funny to you guys sometimes. I just wanted to say you are such an honest and beautiful person inside and out! Love your sense of style and your passion for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE! You and Dean are so great together. Please don't let the "reality" tv thing come between you guys. Looking at the two of you I highly doubt that will ever happen. Keep doing what you're doing because your on the right track. I regret I haven't read your book yet but I will! By the way, thanks for leaving in the "fall" at the Guncles wedding. So funny! You would be really great in a romantic comedy!!! As for your wieght....You look fantastic! Don't listen to anyone who says any different. Congrads on the A list award too! you go girl!! Can't wait for the next episode!

Tori,

I'm watching your show from last night on DVR (had to wait till a commercial break to tear myself away and write this), and I just LOVE that you make your own baby food! I did it for my own son who is 17 months old now, and it was so satisfying for the same reasons you mentioned. Watching your show brings a smile to my face each week. Thank you for opening your life to us.

Tori,

You should send the invitation to your mom....Mother is only one in life....give her another chance and if she really care , she will contact you....don't waist the time that you may regret later....Sometime the money, fame and even the press get involve in your life and make thing more difficult...but it is your mommy...if something happens to her you will always live the regret of why i didn't call her, etc.
Give her another chance, no matter what she love you...

Sometimes i get mad with my mother, but now that i have two children i understand....

Best wishes...liSA

Tori,
I also wanted to tell you that I'm your biggest fan but because of money I cant meet you. But one day I hope to. It's my biggest dream to meet you and I pray every night that my dad will get his grant so I can meet you! I love you very much! ( in a fan way) xoxoxox, Tanya e-mail me at Tbay26@comcast.net

SO, I am flippin the channels....and I stop on your show. That was three days ago. At least once a day since then I have thought about something you said or something that Dean said and I have laughed out loud. It is so refeshing how witty yet real you both are
I can see how connected you two are. I can also tell that you are as close as a family can get.
I will watch again
Take care

Tori,
The ceramony was beautiful and I thought it was super cute and funny when Liam wouldn't come up with the ring until scoutty showed him he haad candy! Tori no matter what dress you wore they were all beautiful!!! Stella had the cutest outfit on. and Liam is just a little man! I think you maade a good choice decideing to invite your mom to Stella's 1st birthday!!! I know youre going to make it beautiful for your little buggy. It is now my biggest and only dream to meet you in person but, I live in Colorado and I am only 11 years old. Also money is tight so theres no way i can talk my parents into taking me to Californa to meet you. But, also I'm themeing my room all Tori and pink. I'm also going to have a corner of my room dedacated to Mimi La Rue.
XOXOXOXO, Tanya E-mail me at Tbay26@comcast.net

Tori,
I just have to know where you got that adorable luggage for Stella and Liam.

Tori,
I have similar issues with my mother so I understand your dilemma. It's a difficult situation but I realized that the only thing one can do is take the high road. It's the only way you'll feel good about how you handle the relationship. In the end, if you keep the door open and she doesn't walk through it, it's HER choice and you'll know that you did everything you could. The last thing you need is guilt that YOU didn't do something.

Good luck!
Karen

Tori, you and Dean are great parents. Your kids are intelligent and warmhearted. Its wonderful that you two allow the world to share in the moments of your life. I wish you the best and can't wait to see more. Congrats on a great commitment ceremony. Bill and Scout looked so happy on their day! Tori, what you did for Dean was selfless and supportive. He was torn between his fondness of bikes and his love for you and his children, but you choose to be supportive of his hobby. I hope to see Bill and Scout with their child soon! Best Wishes.

I truly have to say that Tori you are an amazing Mom and wife. You passion for juggling everything and still finding time for your family is amazing. I was adopted when I was 10 years old. I am now 34...oh my. Well I thank you for continuing the show me that although I am raising a 14 y.o. I can still find time for my family. I love the episode of the Guncles wedding. I was truly an amazing wedding. You are a DOLL and I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you one day. I live in Louisana. I thank you again for your continue success. I can't wait to hear about a baby for the Guncles. I commend them on an adoption. They will be great parents.
