My Guilty Pleasure

Over the weekend I discovered a new guilty pleasure. Now I'm hooked and I can't get enough of it. While I was holed up at The Knight's house sick as a dog I found 'Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood' on Oxygen.  I came into it at the end of the season and I love it.  Thankfully, Oxygen ran a Tori and Dean marathon yesterday leading up to the season finale so I was able to get all caught up. Say what you will about Tori Spelling but she's a pretty dynamic person.  She's written two books, designs jewelry and kids clothes, plans some fierce parties all while raising two babies and nurturing a loving marriage.  She and her husband are so funny together and obviously love each other a lot. As a child of the Original 90210 era, I've always been a fan of Tori Spelling. The poor girl's gotten a bum wrap over the years from the media.  But, she's taken it all in stride and has been doing some pretty cool things. Plus, her kids are so cute.  It's nice to see she's going through some of the same issues I deal with as a working mom raising two kids. But, she's got loads of people helping her you might say. Actually, not really.  They did have a live-in nanny for the first year of each of their kids lives but once those kids hit 1 year-old that nanny was gone. 95% of the time she and her husband are the sole caregivers and that's pretty amazing for a girl who grew up in Hollywood with everything handed to her.  She's done a great job at being as normal as possible.  Overall, I give 'Tori and Dean' a big thumb's up. I'm going to scour the internet for the past seasons so I can get caught up on everything before the next season starts up. I'm even going to give her books a read.  Might give me an idea of how to go about writing one of my own.  This is a guilty pleasure that I'm not ashamed to admit I love.
