Hello All,
I first want to say a quick thank you to all the Housewives fans who have reached out to me with such kind words and generous support of Project Ladybug. This foundation is truly my life’s passion and is a huge reason why I decided to do this crazy show in the first place. So a HUGE thank you to all of you!!! XOXO.

Even Mother Teresa would look like a jerk in at least one of the shows.

Next I would like to thank Bravo for this opportunity to blog. If you are true Housewives fan as I am, you will know that each and every housewife has what I like to call her “asshole” episode. You know what I am talking about people. Even Mother Teresa would look like a jerk in at least one of the shows. I am grateful that we at least have the chance to explain ourselves! LOL.

So with that said, here it goes...

Episode 1. Well, here are in all of our blazing glory, The Jersey Girls. We are, in fact, a rare breed. We say what’s on our mind and make no apologies for it. I think it’s refreshing. I have a good friend that has lived in many parts of the country, and when she moved here to Jersey we became very close. She told me what she loved so much about living here is that “you never have to worry what a Jersey girl is thinking, 'cause usually they're going to let you know." I think I quoted her in the show at one point. She couldn’t be more on target, and I think it’s refreshing.

I thought your project ladybug luncheon was great. I know you are an event planner and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions? Keep up the good work! Thanks!

Hi Dina,

Just letting you know that if you want to read about the boy who contracted the rare infection while swimming in Hope Mills Lake, the e-mail address is www.fayobserver.com
The boy's name is Matthew McKinney. He lost part of his face to this infection and had plastic surgery to repair it.

You were so right to worry about your daughter swimming in strange waters.

You are a good mom.

Robin

Dina:
Please read Dina.
You seem like a very generous, open heart person who supports her family whole heartedly. I am currently going through the same type of problems you are with your daughter (Boys, wanting to go out with friends, etc). My daughter is 12 going on to 16. Unfortunately she fights alot with us because we don't have a lot of money and are financially in trouble. My daughter doesn;t understand this and thinks she should still be able to get all these different things. It ain't gonna happen when I can't even pay bills. If you have any advice please let me know. You seem to be the type that would be good at advice along with your sister Caroline. The site asked for my e-mail so you can get it through them. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Dina, you're my favorite! Some people say "jerk" - others would say "assertive." You go girl.

Dina, the question that has been on my mind ever since part 2 of the finale is "Why would you forgive Danielle for what she did?" I mean she made your sister cry, so she must have tryed to do something bad. I wouldn't even want to look at someone who would do such a thing. Oh, and I dont think what ur daughter, Lexi, said about hating it if she had a fat old mom, was a bad thing, because I am the same age and I understand what she meant. You are my favorite housewife on the show.

I love you and your sister you guys are the best. I really admire you guys for the way you guys get alone and how strong your relationship is. Your parents did a very good job raising you guys they must be very proud how you and your sister Caroline carried yourselves. Danielle is just jealous of you because she doesn't have a loving and supported family like you do.
