Baby On Board

Just call her the comeback kid. I’ve always admired former Growing Pains star Tracey Gold for her decision to go public with her battle against anorexia. With the help of her family and friends (and a hospital full of professionals) the actress overcame the disease, got married and started a family. You might remember seeing Gold being proposed to on national television in 1993. Her then boyfriend Roby Marshall asked Gold to spend the rest of her life with him live in front of her entire family (and millions watching at home) on ABC’s Primetime Live. They were married the … Continue reading →

Car Insurance from My Alumni Association?

Posted on by

I never expected to open mail from an Alumni Association, and find an advertisement for car insurance. However, that is exactly what I found in my mailbox today. It was unexpected. Every once in a while, I get some kind of mail from the Alumni Association where I got my B.S. in Education several years ago. Sometimes, they send me a magazine like newsletter, that describes what some of the other people who graduated from the same university as me are up to now. I see marriage announcements of people I do not know. I am informed about the awesome … Continue reading →

Shopping Website Review: Mandy’s Moon

Mandy’s Moon was started by a mom who adopted a two-year-old and a ten-year-old from Vietnam. She began the site the year after her first daughter arrived, when she realized how hard it was to find objects picturing Asian children.

The mother of two just announced that she is planning to aid the underprivileged children of the world by donating money to UNICEF. Spears is teaming up with photo agency X17 to raise money for the relief organization by auctioning an autographed copy of her latest CD, Blackout, on eBay. “I think it’s important to give back and with the release of Blackout, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to give the … Continue reading →

Oh Baby! Giada’s Pregnant and Nancy Has Twins

Celebrity chef turned “Today” show contributor Giada De Laurentiis is having a baby. And to illustrate just how skinny she is, the almost 5-months pregnant Food Network hottie says she hasn’t had to buy maternity clothes yet. (If De Laurentiis wants to keep her female audience she should really think about limiting those types of comments.) What’s more, the good-looking TV chef revealed that she has been giving into her starchy cravings for months. I must say I was stunned when I heard the news. Giada is my favorite Italian chef. I have a couple of her cookbooks and am … Continue reading →
