Hi Kathy,

I love the way you and your husband have raised your children. The episode where they both saved up and bought you a laptop for Christmas was just priceless. You have done a great job with your children.. kudos to you both!!! Love watching you all on the show what a great family unit presence you all are!!

Sincerely, Debbie

I love it that you are relentlessly kind. Here's to hoping the rest of your summer is fun.

Hi Kathy- I enjoy watching you and your family! Your daughter will be fine. Have faith~! Also, you are a refreshing and sincere person. Hopefully, Teresa and you will mend over time. I believe you will. Teresa has to open her heart and mind and allow others to also have room and space in their relationships. She's holding on so tightly to everything she has been through that she is pushing others away. I think she is afraid of losing her friends to her extended family. You know the old saying: "What we fear,we create." Hopefully, you all will be in a better place someday. Also, your husband is great! Funny! ::))

Why would you have "the talk" with your daughter on a tv show?? Are you in the running to be Caroline junior? One of her is more then enough thank you.

only time can mend a broken heart...remember that when you aproach Tre... she is not ready to heal her relationship with you...you hurt her...when the time comes she will reach out to you...so stop pushing...

Kathy, Would you please write a cookbook for all of your lovely desserts?? I would LOVE to be able to make all of those Italian recipes.

Thank you for sharing your family, and your families values. Love wathcing you work the kitchen girl, you are a pastry chef.

Kathy you are amazing! My friends and I are all on the Kathy bus. Keep it up :)

You and your family are welcome additions to the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love both you and your husbands views on how to raise your kids. I think use both do an amazing job and i whole heartly agree with you that it was the right time for "the talk" that said i do have to disagree with your place for the talk. in a store is not the place to have that kind of talk (i understand your panic at seeing Victoria all dressed up and maybe you felt the need to say it there and then) but i do think it should have waited for the comfort of home.

love you guys :) keep those desserts coming!!

Kathy, You're a refreshing addition to show. You & your husband are such great role models for other parents. Wishing you lots of success, and good luck with the kids going back to school. I bet you will have lots to juggle, but you can do it! Enjoy your blog, and your caring ways.

LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...MY FAV!!!

Hi Kathy,

I think you are such a great addition to RHNJ. You and your family are such a great example of a loving, normal family. God Bless you all..

I'll admit you are a good mother. But a Lousy cousin to Teresa. You only try to talk to her for camera time. gimme a break, don't you have her phone number, email address, home address? Also, if you feel she is such a difficult person, she holds grudges, loses sight of whats important, etc..why were you dying to be her castmate? You wanted a piece of the fame pie. just remember what goes around comes around. Your time will come, and you and Melissa both better hope there aren't people out there willing to trash talk you and your family for a little fame.

Hi Kathy,

Your family dynamics rock. Your so sincere and a wonderful mom. I can relate with you in respect to your daughter. She will do great. Continue giving her the support and guidance. She is a brite girl. In respect to Teresa, dont worry things will work them self out, regardless of how hard headed she is. Family always comes first regardless. You have a good heart. It is a pleasure watching you and your family.

You have such great kids! make up with your family, its not worth the fight. family is forever and it will work out.

You are a great parent and your children are fantastic! Keep up the good work! Love your family on the show! :)

Kathy, Love your family, love the kids. Don't be so in the woods and Richie know what is real and what is not. I wish the world is what it was, when you/we all were growing up but it is not and give the talk to your daughter.

Kathy, u are a great role model to viewers! u represent Jersey so well! btw, this is sooo off topic but u have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. Ever.

P.S. My friends and I have a hugeeee crush on ur son Joseph. He's so cute!

Love you Kathy... you are so real!

It is clear u only joined this show to jumpstart ur baking business! You and ur family bring nothing to the show! It obviously upsetting to Teresa that u and melissa joined the show - not very nice of you! Very mean and unfamily like!

Kathy,

You have a beautiful family! :) It's so nice to see the love and bond between ya'll. :) I'm only 26 with no husband or children but I hope to have the fun chemistry ya'll have.

Love you and your family!! You are a great addition to the show! Teresa is a complete nut, do not stoop to her level.

Hi Kathy! I think u and Teresa need to work out w/e problems u have/ had. Family is the key of life. Hoping 4 the best, Joee

Hi Kathy! I've been a loyal RHONJ fan since the first episode of season one and at the beginning of this season I was leery of the idea of new cast members. But as time progresses, I enjoy you more and more with each episode! You seem like a genuinely sweet, intelligent, talented and level-headed woman who knows the value of family. And as I watch Victoria and Joseph interact with each other and with you and Rich, it's obvious what an outstanding parent you are. You have wonderful kids! At an age where most children don't want to be bothered with their parents or would be embarrassed by them, yours seem to truly enjoy the company of you and your husband. There is real love there and it is refreshing to watch each week. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season and thank you for exceeding my expectations and for bringing an added dimension of love to the show! -Cara (Long Island, New York)

Kathy: You have a lovely family; your kids are amazing. If you refrain from making negative remarks about Teresa your popularity will flourish. Remember your own words, she's family. You can choose your friends but not famly. Peace be with you always.

You guys are awesome. You have a wonderful family and the love really comes through the TV. I am really impressed with your family and the Manzo's. I think The Gorgas and the Gudices could learn a lot from your examples.

you are terrific. i like your husband too, but he needs to get real about having a teenagers. i would like to see him talk about what he was like at 16.. with his wife and daughter..hhmm? anyway, teresa is evil to you. i would be so happy to have a cousin like you. you are kind and generous and want to help. oy vey. she is a piece of guilaguin! all the best, steven k. los angeles

Smart, classy, lovable, Kathy ... You and your family are literally the "poster child" for the perfect, modern, American family. If you could bottle the formula you all have going on in your family dynamics I bet it would be more popular and useful than Facebook! Your unevolved cousin may be publishing recipes for what to do with pasta & tomatoes but you could be publishing the "sweetest" recipes for how to build a life! :)

You are wonderful Kathy!

Kathy you have such a kind heart. It is hard to believe that you and Theresa are related. You obviously are a great baker, why don't you share your talents and recipies and write a cookbook? Of course Theresa would never forgive you, but she is not forgiving you now anyway. Go for it.

COOKBOOK, COOKBOOK!!

Kathy, love your parenting style! My son is now almost 27, my daughter is 23. I talked to them ALL the time, even using actual anatomical body-part names. I told them QUOTE I really hope you both wait to have sex until you're married. I don't want you watching R rated movies. Will they be on at a friend's house? Sure, and you'll watch. We just won't have them on our TV until you're 17. Please don't drink! I know you'll try it, but talk to me about it.

Anyway, my kids literally sat with me about a year ago & said "Mom, we don't know what you did, but our friends are all a mess. We always heard your voice & what you were telling us when we faced these situations" I was elated. And yes, they are BOTH high-producing members of society.

My point is, you & Rich have no idea of how proud you'll be of your kids when they are older. It's such common sense, I think most of us parents don't realize we need to say these words OUT LOUD. In our voices. Kids do listen and they will respect you.

Love your family! (And my goodness, your kids are GORGEOUS too!)

I think you handled "the talk" very gracefully. Good job! I don't like the way you treat Teresea but as a mom you are wonderful.

KATHY: I THINK YOUR A GREAT PERSON .YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND A COZZY HOME (THE OTHER'S LOOK SO COLD AND SPOOKY). PLEEEEASE!! RICH IS A GREAT GUY, WONDERFUL DAD AND HUSBAND. I DON'T MIND SOME CURSING ONCE IN A WHILE, I'M FROM HOBOKEN NJ. BUT HIS FOUL MOUTH AT ALL TIMES IS JUST SO ANNOYING. OH....BY THE WAY STOP TRYING TO REACH OUT TO TERESA EVEN THOUGH I REALLY LIKE HER, SHE IS SOOOO.. WRONG, YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HER!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. CR♥

Team Tre!

Kathy, Are you connected to the Melissa and Danielle scandal ?

Kathy,

I can't hold back my feelings as being a loyal Bravo Fan. Your face and talk is just so so so horrible and annoying to look at your face and hear you talk. I can't stand watching you and Melissa on T.V. it's like watching the Jerry Springer show not, you guys brought trash not class nto the show. Please Bravo Help!!!!

WHY??? Must you always pick the worst places to try to talk to someone about issues/concerns you are having??? With Teresa it is always around a group of people and with your daughter it is in a clothing shop! What's the matter with you??? Can't you just sit down with a person and share a cup of coffee or tea like normal people?

Congratulations on your daughter winning her battle with cancer. My little brother survived a large brain tumor in high school and leukemia later, and went on to marry a beautiful woman and pursue a career as a pharmacist. Shame on the producers of this show not making this issue more relevant on the show-and for not giving information on some sort of charity relating to it.

Kathy,

Don't pay attention to the negative comments. You are a welcomed relief to the drama. BUT where is the cookbook of your fabulous desserts??

Kathy, I love your persistence of trying make amends with Teresa. However, some people just cant let go of past issues and move on. I know it is hard to keep trying.. only to be shot down, but keep trying.

The biggest hurdle is forgiving yourself before someone else can forgive you. Not to say that YOU need this advice, I think Teresa needs to take a good long look at her actions (seen from objective eyes) and then reevaluating her next move. Maybe she has not forgave herself for wrongdoings. Maybe she is hurting and wants to try to redirect the pain.

Good luck and I love you and your positive attitude.

Kathy, I'm sure you hear this all the time, but you would save my cooking life if you made a cookbook! Please help :) ~Annette

wow. wow. wow. I think i am going to have to have the " talk" with my daughter soon. lol. My oldest daughter is 16 years old and i have been trying to avoid the talk at least until she was i don't no umm... 21 lol. Its just a really big deal and i don't want to think of my baby girl out there doing something she shouldn't be doing she is not ready and i feel like if i have the " talk" with her then that's encouraging that. But i also do not want her learning it from someone else and they don't no what they are talking about giving my baby the wrong information, i will have the talk with her soon because she is getting older and beleive it or not she is starting to ask questions so i decided to have the talk after watching your episode... so i just wanted to say think you, you encouraged me to have the talk with my daughter i mean her father isn't around to do it so that leaves me. and i won't have to do this again until about 4 years from know.lol. anyways moving foward i hate seeing you and teresa going through this family fued, i know she can be difficult but if you can just forgive her its the christian thing to do. I pray that you all get your families back to the way it was i really do i couldn't imagine being with out my families they are my rock, you don't have anyone else but family and the sooner you all realize that the better off you all will be. Just give her time Kathy she will come around trust me. Hope all goes well... and again thank you for that episode " the talk" LOL... pray for me.

Kathy you're an awesome addition to the show. I really enjoy watching you and your family on the show. Keep being who you are! You're real!!
