OMG!! DINA YOUR SO FUNNY, I HAVE TO SAY YOUR MY FAVORITE!

Dina you are hilarious! This is my favorite housewife show for sure. Your daughter cracks me up. You guys are a great mother/daughter team!

Hi Dina this has been a great show. I enjoy all the ladies on it. Please, ask all the ladies to post their sun signs Jacqueline posted that she is a Taurus, you seem so laid back easy going. I think every housewife should post their sun sign to help us understand the nature of their personalities a little better.

Dina,
I think of all of the RHW's, I respect you the most! Especially after this last episode. To see the relationship you have with your daughter and how important that is to you. It's a breath of fresh air.
Love your cats! Especially Gramma Wrinkles. Her with that outfit your daughter bought for her...OMG...that was just too cute for words.
Blessings to you and yours!

Omg! That scene with cat was to funny! I had such a long day at work and the commute from the city to NJ in the rain was not good. I am florida born and raised and this commute is just to much sometimes lol. I was watching the show and I just busted out laughing at the lady bug costume I so needed that. Thanks!

I watch your show all the time and I am very inpressed. I was born and raised in that area so its fun to see you guys on TV. I know alittle about the Manzos since I have been at the Brownstone many times. In the one show where Al makes fun of your shorts, you can see the third brother Kenny in the background. How come he is never mentioned on the show at all, is he still a partner there?

hey erin, why did you skip the Atlanta Girls...?

Dina,

You should have made an low offer on the house would have been nothing for them to change the front (maybe 100K if that). Love your sister, she has your back. She cracked me up with her comment in AC about your friend. True loyalty.

Central Jersey

hey Dina,

let me start off by saying, just like the N.Y. Housewives, i have found a little in ALL of you N.J. girls that I can identify with (even Danielle).

i am a single mom and now that my daughter is 15 going on 16 (power to us milfs! lol) i have made a choice to really step up our mother-daughter bond because i realize i only have a couple more years with her b4 she goes to college.

i totally heart you for wanting to do the same with Lexi and i understand EXACTLY where you are.

our daughters are so precious, and now is the time to solidify that connection that will carry us into their adult years.

you and Lexi remind me so much of my daughter and me.

lexi and my girl are totally fun and silly types. both smart and still remain 'appropriate teens'...ya know, not trying to grow up too fast.

we are both so very lucky.

all the best to you and your family.

:-)

Hi Love the show,

I would just like to say people are allowed to be friends with whomever they like, you don't own Jacqueline and to give her an ult. like that was very selfish, and self centered. People don't BELONG to other people, maybe she sees the good in everybody, and don't deem it necessary to pass judgement on people because they are not as "perfect" as we are, whatever that means. The main person who usually screams DRAMA is most likely the one causing it. DO WHAT JESUS WOULD DO :)

Dina,

You are amazing and have a beautiful daughter and a great husband...how come we never see him? I remember seeing him on Platinum Weddings when you guys were on...was that enough 'spotlight' for him? haha...regardless I love the comments you make and the way you look at life...Especially the comment about always being your husbands girlfriend 100% true and I live that everyday. You are fantastic and don't let anyone else's remarks get you down!

Jersey girls are the best :)

Dina, you seem like a smart lady. You (and Caroline) should have known better than to make an issue of Danielle's ancient past. It made millions of people scrutinize your own family associations a lot more closely. Many, many people are now aware of your father-in-law's execution-style death and wondering where all that cash is coming from that you're spending so freely. As the saying goes, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." You would have been smarter never to have opened this can of worms.

I read an article that you wouldn't do another show.. I really hope you do! You and Teresa are my favorites! Danielle should be the one to leave!

I have been a faithfull watcher of the all the housewives, well except for the Atlanta girls, I skipped that season ;)

I have "loved loved LOVED" watching this season!! you and your sister Caroline are my favorites, well okay so are Jaqueline and Theresa ;)

So glad to see a mom like you with some real sarcasm, yesss. got to love humour with a bite ;)

much love...

Hi Dina,

I really like you. Just saw your big, fat fabulous wedding to Tommy and I loved it!! What a lucky girl you are. I like Danielle too but I wouldn't want to be her friend but would love to be yours.

DANIELLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!NICE FIGURE AND BODY!!!SHE IS A GREAT PERSON !!!LUV DANIELLE STAY SWEET!!!DON'T LET THOSE REJECTS GET YOU DOWN!!!LUVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Hi Dina - just wanted to say that I'll miss all of you when the show ends. I thought the OC was great at first and then it was so obviously not "reality t.v." and became very predictable. I hope all of you will return exactly the way you are - please don't let any of this go to your head - Meryl Streep's place in this world is already spoken for, lol!

Dina! You are one of my favorites on RHONJ and I can't get enough. I think you and Caroline truly have a wonderful family and it's so refreshing to see a woman who is comfortable enough to say, "My career can take a break, I just want to be with my children."

Hi Dina, I first have to say that I have my faults. I can't throw tomatoes at you. And there are VERY few ppl who can throw tomatoes. But the blog is about the show and the 'drama.' So please don't take offense. I'll start with what I love about you. Your hair is gorgeous. I love your lips. Your have a unique, beautiful, sexy look. I love the way you dress. I think you are the best dressed with Caroline coming in at a very close 2nd lol. And I love the relationship you have with your daughter. It seems like she feels comfortable enough to share anything with you.

I don't believe you when u said you wished you had Teresa's body.

I think Danielle was extending an olive branch when she invited u into her home and I can see why she was upset with you. What did Danielle do that was so bad to bring her past up? You had nothing to do with it even indirectly? And if you did have anything remotely to do with 'the book' it totally contradicts your charitable efforts. You care for kids but Danielle's kids I am sure are going through hell. If you didn't have anything to do with it please forgive me. I know Danielle is trouble (but only a psychiatrist can help her lol).

I think you praise Teresa b/c Teresa seems to 'stay in line,' lol.

I don't know how you want ppl to portray you? Do you want to be seen as this down to earth, wealthy woman who does charity? What I see is a wall and somewhat of a facade. Someone who is down to earth would just write a blog. I can understand not wanting grammatical errors etc but the blog doesn't sound like you. It sounds like an article that's trying to be personable.

You are very pretty and I don't know if you have had flunkies for friends? You have drifted from Jackie who clearly has her own mind.

Dina I am not as brave as you are to be on t.v. Women would rip me apart. Trust me lol. But I only have God to answer to so screw everybody lol. And if someone (including myself) have said hurtful things to you then screw them! It's just a show. I love the show. And I hope you and Jackie will become close again. She probably can be more of a friend to you than some women who maybe afraid of you or just hang around you for superficial reasons. God bless and stay pretty! (you know you have the best body on the show. you wish you had Tereas's body lol yeah right). Bye :)

Girl you are BEAUTIFUL!!! You must laugh every time that Danielle girl talks about you on the show ITS LIKE EVERY FIVE FREAKING SECONDS...she is literally obsessed! Watch out for that crazy hoe! haha

Hey Dina,

I just wanted to say that you are the reason I started to watch the show. I was flipping through the channels and I caught a glimpse of you and realized I had seen you some where.. Platinum Weddings. Omg, I loved your wedding lol. Plus, I can see why you love Teresa the way you do she is such a sweet heart and I can't wait to see the next episode where Teresa looses it with Danielle who I personally think IS jealous of you and what you have going for you. A great family and friends who truly admire and love you for what you bring to them and if she doesn't have that then she has to wonder why she doesn't have anyone backing her up. I also LOVED when you said if she said one more thing about you, you were going to get your Brooklyn on and knock her off her block.. priceless. That's where I'm from and that's how we handle haters.. you girl keep doing you and forget about it.

Great, loving blog!
Love you and your sister and your sister in law and Teresa.
Jersey girls rule!

I have to say I have seen all of the different "Housewives" shows that Bravo has and RHNJ is the BEST! You ladies... (Caroline, Teresa, Jacqueline and Dina) are the most real on any of the shows. I can relate to everything so much, and the FOUR of you are inspiring as women and mothers! I can't wait to see the finale and hope for new seasons to come!

How come they are only doing 6 episodes? Are they just doing a trial run to see if the show will do well? How come we never get to see your husband?

Your a true model of a Lady...I like you don't drag hate into your life as you know who does..haters are no fun..Thanks again..after all the other housewives series I must say this is my favorite of them all. I also like the NY gals to but you NJ women crack me up..

Have fun stay positive and true to yourself..good luck

Dina: You are beautiful, great and real. I absolutely love you, your sister and your sister-in-laws. What a real group. What fun you all have and what wonderful homes you all live in.

Just curious that we have never (unless I missed it) seen your husband on the show. Would love to catch a shot of him. I also think the only time I saw Jacqueline's husband was barely a side of his face at the dinner with Teresa and her husband. We have seen Caroline's and Teresa's husband's several times. Your fans like to see the spouses and see you have a little interaction with them....

Keep up the wonderful work.

Sondra

Hey Dina,
I just wanted to say that I love the show :) You have a wonderful family and a wonderful daughter. You are a good person and a great Mom. It's the hardest job we'll ever have, but the best one also. I'd love to hang with you and your family. What fun!

i know you know this but you and your family are amazing!! i'm only 22 and don't have children or anything but you carry yourself with grace, drama and all. you are all idols, well, except danielle,at leaset in my eyes. i've never watched a season of "real housewives" before but one of my girlfriends got me hooked. you are a true inspiration. thank you <3

Ya know, At first you won me over. I thought you were cool, I'm from NYC & understand the intellect of italian NY/NJ girls. But reading your blog just threw me another way.....Nice example for Lexi teaching her "shoe whore".

Also, you mentioned "your 1st divorce"....Exactly how many divorces have you had????? Do tell Dina. We shall Await your story!!!!!!!

Dina,

I must say, you and your sister are my all time favorite on this show and not to mention teresa you girls keep me watching!!!

Love you Dina! You and your sister are the only reason I watch this show. You and your sister are both are so classy, beautiful, strong, and confident women.

Dina,

I just want to say, I really enjoy watching all of you girls. I look forward every Tues night. I even got my parents to watch they really love the show also. I'm from the Hamptons, but I can really relate more to you girls than the New York Housewives. I really felt for you when your daughter was going away without you, I have a 5 year old boy, I am very rarely leave him with anyone. Congrats to Teresa & Jacqueline on their new babies how fantastic is that. Your sister Caroline has a beautiful family and her children seem like they are really good kids.
Best of Luck to all of you.

I really like the real housewives even though it is the most unreal show. It is funny to watch people with money act ridiculous. Unfortunately, I think that it is a little politically incorrect to show these types of shows when we have soaring unemployment rates and hard times for most Americans. I really don't like this RHNJ. In Aspen, where I am from people would snub them for having those hideous accents. I don't find them entertaining

Dina! You are my favorite on the show. You seem very real, and Lexi is just awesome. I love your relationship with her, and your sense of humor is great! My next pet will have "Grandma" or "Grandpa" in its name... no doubt! Gramma Wrinkles...hahahaha. I don't have to tell you that you're above Danielle's level and all that, but it does bother me that people are saying you married for money just because your husband isn't home a lot. My mom knew going into her marriage with my father that he was not going to be home very much (for 17 years, he was home only on the weekends). Did she marry for money? No. In fact, I think it speaks volumes of how much you love Tommy that you are willing to be with him even if you don't see him too much.

Anyway, love you on the show. Love the charity you're involved in. You do NOT possibly have the time to ruin Danielle's reputation, she's delusional. But I didn't have to tell you that.

PLS PLS ANSWER THIS.....THE SHIRT YOU WORE AT THE SEASON FINALE DINNER THE BLUE ONE WITH THE ROSETTES....YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT!!!! I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY, BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GET THAT. YOU KNOW WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR AND THERE IT IS. BY THE WAY YOU LOOK FABULOUS IN IT!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!! I love your easy going .. forget the BS nature!! and Bubbies! !I love how you females say bubbies!! it seems that Danielle is more obsessed about you maybe because she wants to be you.. Keep on doing you my dear, you're wonderful

Being Italian-American, I can relate to so much of what is on this show. Family, first, before anything else. There is a certain way we are with each other and the friends we have, and some people might not "get" that---but it is so second nature to me. I enjoy watching everyone on the show, especially Dina and Caroline.
If Teresa has a son, that boy will be a prince in that household!

Dina,

Love you!! Thanks for letting us into your live. You are so brave. I don't even like the lady next door figuring out that I changed jobs. You go girl. Keep being yourself.

Me and my girlfriends have always watched the Housewives and usually just watched to fill time. This season we can't wait for each episode to air. It's nice to watch one were all (that matter) of the women get along and are real and down to earth. Love it! You guys crack us up while not taking any crap. It's awesome! You're sister is AMAZING! Ususally we only like one or two ladies on these shows. This season there's only one we can't stand. I hope Theresa gets atleast one swing in next week!

Dina,
I wasn't going to watch this show because I thought it was going to be too dramatic and give Italians like us a bad rep. I also come from a large Italian family and I have to say that I look forward to the show every week because I relate to you and your family so much. I love watching you with your sister as well as you with your daughter. It really warms my heart to see so much love.
I wish you all the best and as you said in the last line of this blog - enough drama and more family!
Family is the most important thing in life :)

Dina,

First off I think you are beautiful! I love watching scenes shot at yours or your sister's houses. You guys have such a "homie" lifestyle. Just seeing you all together reminds me of my family and i get a feel of comfort. You can tell you truely love you daughter and want whats best for her which is most important. What really touches home for me is your Project Ladybug. My 13 yr old sister has been battling cancer since the age of 6. It's been a struggle for us all. It's amazing to see someone with your status go out of your way to help children. Your taking the blessings given to you and giving them back. I look up to you in so many ways. If there is ANY way I can help with Project Ladybug please, please let me kno.
Best wishes.

Hi Dina,

I totally understand where you are coming from! I am 27 yoa and my son is the most wonderful and most important person in my life!!! If I had the opportunity to stop working and focus 100% on him, I would be all over it! So kudos to you!!!

Individuals such as Danielle, are very needy and untrustworthy so I can see why you are so over the drama! I would definitely not give her the time of day and distance myself as much as possible from her!!!

Get over Dina..DANIELLE! You will never be like her, so don't even try!!! ;)

Saludos... desde Texas!

Dina....I felt compelled to write you because I enjoy you so much! What a touching relationship you and Lexi have. I actually cried last week when she left. Just wait till she goes to college. My daughter and I adore the Jersey girls. We text and call each other during commercials. You and Caroline are cute together. I can tell that family is everything to you. Are we ever gonna get a glimpse of the hubby??

Dina,
LOVE, LOVE LOVE YOu! You are fabulous!!! Keep being you! Let the drama queen drown in her own pool of pity! Also love Caroline and Teresa and Joe! Of course all the children, especially Lexi! Take care and just enjoy the ride.

Everyone says that you are so nice and gorgeous, but nice people dont do the things you do. As i do recall i saw you Platinum weddings and you stated that your husband cheated on you several times before you got married, so you mustof married him for the money, because you are setting a bad example for daughter letting her know that it is ok for a man to cheat on you. Now on to you and your other people on the show, I hope that you grow up and leave Danielle alone

Hi Dina!

I must say, you and Teresa are my favorites from this cast. You are hilarious and I think you are fantastic with Lexi. Not enough parents value time with their children and they do grow up so fast. My "baby" is now nine years old and I cannot believe it. Time flies the older you get. I hope you film next season and we get to meet Tommy. I enjoy the family vibe to this cast and it would be great to put a face to the man who likes big bubbies. Danielle comes across as needy, pathetic and creepily dependent on her children for support. I hope Jacqueline stays away from her.

Congrats on your new nephew, Nicholas.

love ya Dina...ignore any negativity...you aren't the cause.

I just want to say that I absolutely love New Jersey the best and Ive been a fan of The show Housewives for sometime now and can not wait for the second season of New Jersey I honestly can care less about the others now! I just love your sister Caroline and Theresa!!! You three are my favs!!!! And for all the haters Shut the F*** up :-) love u Dina and think your so cute with your daughter!!! Cant wait for next week!!!!!!!!OH and why is this season so short???? :-(

Hate reality t.v., but love Jersey wives... Feel bad for ugly, stinky, and wrinkly cats--however I adore grandma & can't stand Danielle... LOL... wish everyday was Tuesday!!

Thank you your blog did the work for me.

You wrote that your new friend joined you on the girls trip to Atlantic City and I quote "you don't let new people in but if you do don't give me a reason not to like you and I will be your friend forever". WOW you must be a great friend who understands about mistakes and forgiveness. That explains everything it is your way or the highway. Your last sentence in your blog was just as telling talking about Jac new baby boy. You blog that babies will help rid of the drama and get back to the basics FAMILY. Yes Dina that could be true but isn't that the point people can have friends outside of your clan? If it isn't Danielle it will be someone else you are ragging on because that is what people like you do. Last week we read about your bleeding heart for Danielle's daughters but who the heck cares this week right what if that was Lexi? You want Jac to make her own decisions but how could she in the situation she is in, you are sitting back behind the scenes pulling the strings watching this unfold like a play and can't help but enjoy it can you? On your wedding reality show any woman who marries a man who admits on film he has been a bad boy and cheated on more than once hold on because you will have karma bite you back.

This show blows, hope it gets better or I'll be turning it off.

Hello,

I am kind of puzzled how you so badly want to just pick your daughter from school, go shop and lunch with your friends. You seem to talk a lot about nonsense and stuff that are really unimportant/superficial. Who cares if you gained 10 lb?? Your conversations are so lame even with your daughet no offense to her but you certainly do not come out intelligent on TV. Your life seems so lazy, banal I do not get how you preach you are so busy and do so much.

Dina, your daughter seems to be the most grounded kid on the show. She is so quirky and funny. Hope she stays that way.

YAY! I love you! The only one on this season that I don't like is Danielle! Go figure! Hahaha. You are so great, and you seem like a great mom to your daughter! I love watching your show!

I'm glad everybody loves every housewife on the show and yes the kids are cute and adorable, but how about a show with a little substance. The NJ girls can't hold a candle to the NY ladies--they have so much more going on professionally and socially. Maybe Bravo should have shown more parties you threw at the Brownstone

You and Teresa keep talking about no drama, but guess what? Drama is what makes good tv--maybe that's why there were only 5 episodes of the RHNJ.

I live in NJ and was dissapointed with the whole season. I hope the finale is more entertaining.

Dina - I think you're a riot and love it that you're a kitty fan! However, I must ask - in an early episode when you went to the salon - you parked in a handicapped parking spot. Then later you're playing tennis!!!! That's horrible. If you don't need the handicapped spot - please leave it for those that do!

Girl, I am feeling the same way about children.. I am a realtor and my son is 14 and my daughter is 11.. time is going by too fast. With the market slowing down, so am I and concentrating on being a Mom.. The career will be there when they are in college. for now selling a house here and there is working great.

I only have one thing to say.... POOR KITTY! I can't believe that you and Lexi tried to dress up your cat with that ladybug outfit. It was a cute outfit, but come on, you had to know that she wasn't going for it when she RAN AWAY!
I actually laughed my butt off - it was too funny.

Great Job keep up the good work!

Dina u are freaking gorgeous and I love your attitude its blunt and real. Screw Danielle she has no class and is lame I honestly think she hears what she only wants to hear. Why is she even on the show anyways?? I enjoy how your family is close and tight I respect that.... Here is to a GREAT season take care.. Shaun

Dina,
I've watched all the Housewives episodes and enjoyed most but have never related to the wives like I do the NJ wives! I love that you cook for your daughter and it's the same food the rest of us are cooking. (Although you stay a lot thinner eating it!) I enjoy watching your relationships with Caroline, Jacqueline and Teresa also. It's one thing to be sisters but you and Caroline are truly friends, good for you!
Cari

It shocks me how you think you are better when all you talk about is nonsense. You are very superficial and it seems like there is no depth about you...It is funny how you bring down Danielle but you are as fake, unimportant as they come......

Dina, I have to apologize to you. I know we don't know one another and I KNOW better than to pass judgement on anyone or anything without knowing things 1st hand and I did it. I truly am sorry for the things I was thinking about yourself and the family. I completely thought you all were just ganging up on Danielle, but now I see that you were only protecting your family as I do my own. Italians, we can be very hard to get to know but once you're in, you're in! I do think yourself, your family and the friends that we've seen do seem to be "true" friends. I wish you, your family and loved ones only the best and I completely agree that it is time to get the lies out and the liars removed from what time you all have left here on Earth and be able to get back to what truly matters, we both know that's our families. You ladies remind me so much of my family, it's uncanny! They say, I'm more you than any of the others for I seem to speak my mind and I don't let anything get under my skin, it's just not worth it. Time is too precious! I too, have a Caroline and Teresa, too funny!! GOTTA love em! I cannot wait to see the last couple of episodes, from the previews, it looks as if Teresa is ready to rumble and her husband is holding her back, I cannot wait----it is so my family as well!! Good luck to Danielle, she would never have made it as long in our family, but you're all on tv.... Continue your great motherly ways and ENJOY your family, they're the ones that count!! God Bless you All and I predict the family will be fine, the past drama of all, is something you can all look back at and laugh! Again, I apologize for being one that jumped to conclusions but I have to remember, it is television and they can edit as they like. I hope this was a great experience for yourself and the others!

I'm embarrassed I turned this on. Boring.

Being first generation american, I totally get you, your family, and the dynamic. Rock on , sister

You 'claim' to hate the drama and then thrive on it.

Seriously, all these posters who admire your for not like drama (yeah right) must not realize that you are on this show to cause drama.

Get a grip.

Dina,

Loved last nights show!!! it was all about girlfriends getting together and most important family. Your reunion with your daughter brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing mom and Lexi just proved it with her comments.

I am dying laughing when you dressed you cat(sorry forgot name) it is precious.

I wish you the best and good luck, god bless you.

Dina,

Love you, and Lexi is so absolutely beautiful, funny, cute, and sweet! You make me laugh every episode, you are totally gorgeous (your "solid ten pounds," wherever it is, doesn't hurt your body at all!), and I love your relationship with Lexi, sister Caroline, and your friends. I cannot believe that next week is the last episode of RHoNJ!! You guys are by far my favorites and I hope you come back soon for another season!!

Dina,
I think you're great! I love the way you and Lexi interact, but how come we never see your husband? I forget that you are even married, especially when you say things like, "me and Lexi against the world". Lexi's cute, but could you ask to keep her mouth shut when she's eating...it's a very bad look!

Grandma Wrinkle for prez! lol

Hi Dina,

I am a big fan of yours, I love your style. Your daughter is so lucky to have a mother like you that cares so much about her. You and Caroline both have this no nonsense approach to things. As far as the you not liking new people thing thats been daid on the show, I think that everyone has to be cautious to some degree and can't let everyone in their life. You know what qualities you are looking for in a friend and anyone should be able to respect that without all the lip.

You are a fabulous business woman and could stand to learn a thing or 2 from you. I first saw you on My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding and when I saw you on The Real Housewives I knew what I was in for.

Did I miss something? Danielle was trying to "destroy" you by doing what?! You're twisted, lady! You say you don't care about people's pasts, but you're sure spending a lot of time talking about Danielle's past, aren't you? Stop being so self-righteous & mean. I'm sure someone could dig up quite a bit of dirt on you, too.

Dina, I think you ROCK. You and your sister our my hands down favorites on the show! I love any scene when you guys are with your kids, it's obvious what fantastic Mother's you both are. Also, you're both beautiful - inside and out!

I respect your appreciation of family, your ambition, the way you uphold yourself, and the way you keep things real. You truly seem to be a beautiful person inside and out! I truly enjoy the show and hearing about my fellow jersey girls (with one exception, you know who I am talking about lol). Good luck with everything!

Dina...

I really like your personality on this show, its a non nonsense attitude, no time for drama or anything else, its all about family and kids with you. I admire that you gladly and proudly talk about being a mother and loving your child so much, you don't meet a whole lot of women like you anymore. Most womena are so much more into being young, looking young and acting young that they forget their age and their role in their families lives.. I think your awesome!

I LOVED yesterday's show. I am so glad you guys were able to get out and have a family weekend. Teresa cracks me up. Your cat is just too cute and looked like she just LOVED that outfit. I am glad your daughter is back and you guys can get back to your normal life. I have to say the way you guys say bubbies is hysterical to me. You are one of my favs on the show and i LOVE that Blue dress you took with you when you guys went out of town and it looks like you wear in next weeks episode.

Dina,
I think you are Fabulous. Both you and Caroline, remind me of my sister and me, a great relationship. When I first saw the previews of the show, I knew it would be a hit, you have a good relationship with Lexi, in the earlier episodes you mentioned that your husband commented how you spent alot of time with your job. I think you should take sometime off, your job will always be there, but Lexi is not going to stay this age forever, enjoy it, you deserve it. I love Teresa, her husband is so great, my sister said he is the ideal husband, and her daughters are soooo cute. I think Caroline is great, she has such a good relationship with her husband and children. I love the fact that you are so no nonsense, and hate drama, you are very black & white (no in between). Love you guys...

Dina,
I love watching you on the show! You are so beautiful and the way you are with Lexi is amazing. You seem to have it all but you don't act that way, thats why you are amazing!!!! I love the relationship you have with Caroline. I absolutely aplaud your decision to be with Lexi and not put her to the side to make money. You seem to be very smart. When Lexi is older you could work together and still have your close relationship with her and chase your dreams!

Dina: You are a great mother, wife (will we get a chance to see your hubby?), sister, friend and all other hats you wear! I can totally relate to the the way you were afraid to ship your daughter off for 2 weeks. I've been there and done that! :) By the way, your ornate way of decorating, mirrors the way my home looks! The more pretty things, the better! :) Hope you enjoy your Summer 2009!

I have nothing at all to say to you except "you go girl" you are real and for that I love you; your sister and Teresa I love, love, love her words LOL.

Very Sad for your sister in law; she is too nice; and Danielle is too nasty and jealous and just trying to work Jacqueline because she knows she is so nice.

I was with a Turk so I know all about those men over there; unless you expereience it people don't get it; I totally relate to you being upset about your daughter going there and their bathroom situation; holes in the floor and all; LOL
I am Italian from the Bronx so I totally understand where you are coming from woman are evil it is good you have your sister and Teresa I wish I had that for only a week. Can't wait for the last 2 episodes; hope to meet you someone where one day.

LOVE ASHLEY

Grandma Wrinkle is my new favorite Real Housewife! lol. When you and Lexi dressed her in the ladybug costume? Priceless.

When you and Lexi put the ladybug outfit on Grandma Wrinkle I nearly peed in my pants. Hilarious!

I understand the dilemma with Lexi and wanting to be there while she grows up. I am a single mother and I felt the same way when I had to start working full time. I don't think the answer is just completely giving up your career, but finding balance. It can be hard, but it can be done. I love the relationship that the two of you have, and of course you don't want anything to take from that. Here's a suggestion sit with Lexi and talk to her about it. Maybe she can help you come up with a schedule that will work for both of you.

Dina, I envy the relationship you have with your daughter. Hope it continues throughout your lives. If you don't have to work, then stay home and spend as much time with her as possible.
As for Danielle, she spends too much time worrying about her next boyfriend and she gives her daughters too much information about what's going on in her men relationships. Kids should not be hearing about "the goodies". She should also know better than to try and come between family members.

I love you on this show, you remind me of myself
you are too real. who cares if yo say whatever about whoever, if whoever you say it about is trying to become a part of your inner circle you have to be protective.

Dina! I really enjoy watching you on the show! You seem so normal and smart w/ strong family values. You also have a great sense of humor. Thanks for lightening up my Tuesdays!

I love love LOVE the Housewives of Jersey! You guys are so down to earth. What surprised me is how cool you are in RHWNJ compared to how you where portrayed in Bridezella. Keep doing your thing!

Dina, I've always liked you but after this episode and last's, it made me realize how much I respect you as a mother. I LOVE the relationship you and Lexi have. I love that you worry about her (I do the same with my son!). You are the best!

You're right Dina, at the end of the day it's all family, friends, and fun!!!! You're not going to wish you worked more you're going to wish you had more special moments!

Can't wait to see a pic of Gramma Wrinkles!!!!
