Boy, I have had a busy two weeks! Sorry I missed blogging last week!
First of all I must say happy SIXTH birthday to my little prince. I cannot believe he is already 6!!! It's just not fair for them to grow up so fast. I just flew in from NYC, so I'm writing this in the car on my way home from the airport, so I will try to keep it short and sweet since you are getting a two-for-one dealio!
In last week's episode, I learned that I had a lot to learn! But I was happy to have the challenge! Seeing myself with my coach, Terry Anzur, I realized I got more out of that experience than I ever realized I would. Not only was she a master of the trade, but she was so positive and motivating at the same time.
The question the she asked, "What did you give people?" really struck me. To me, it's not just about being on camera or off. It reminded me of the values I grew up with -- no matter what you do in life, you should give it your all, and that's what I want to give people when I'm doing live TV -- my all!
Sometimes when you're learning a new craft, you have to "unlearn" what you've been using in other scenarios that worked all along. With me, I have obviously been in front of cameras, so up to this point I had been operating in a lot of the same ways in front of news cameras. It wasn't working! But that's OK, because it has given me the room to grow and discover a whole new side of myself that I know I can carry into other aspects of my life. I want to drive the bus!
Loved reading your blog today! Very refreshing and positive. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Tamra's comments are just plain rude.
Your my favorite housewife! You are positive and never nasty. Where does Tamara get off being such a lil A hole to you!? Geez la weez! My son is gonna be 6 in June too! Time does fly. I really like that you and vikki are friends . Hope u two keep that going and don't let an evil lil hater get in the way;) Happy mothers day!
Alexis, I like you a bajillion times more than ever before. This year, you show that you actually have much more substance to you than you have in the past. To be honest, I found it a little rediculous that a stay at home mom needed multiple nannies! But now you are ambitious and driven yet still making motherhood your first priority. Kudos. It's nice to see someone so goal oriented. I wish you all the success in the world with your career.
When they chose a low cut slinky dress for your General Hospital news person it's because you were on a soap..what your coach said was right and you shouldn't be wearing low cut tops on a real news channel. You are very defensive about the job you did with Fox 5..you weren't that great at it and I think they used you because of your housewife status to get publicity for their show. I also think you need to stop bringing up what Heather and Tamra say about you..you're not so innocent in all of it. You have some growing up to do and need to stop playing victim when you are as guilty as the other wives in making comments. I do hope you remain happy in your marriage, but I think eventually your husbands control will wear on you.
Alexis, Each season I as a viewer, will sometimes be aggravated at you or Tamra etc. My point is, that is how real life is & we are w/friends & co-workers. Other than the Peggy situation, you have always handled yourself classy & elegant! I am glad you are driving the bus, even if that means going against what your husband wants. You seem to manage everything well & to be a great mom & wife you have to do what makes you happy! Keep it positive & don't worry about Heather, Tamra or anyones questions of you. You know who you are & that is all that matters!

You did great on WWHL this week. I'll admit I was worried for you on live TV, you tend to look confused and uptight a lot on the show and I didn't think you'd be too quick on your feet. You were witty and fun and I really enjoyed the episode. Good job!
Keep doing positive blogs like this with minium snide comments, and the fans will just keep loving you more and more!
What is everyones deal with you this season??? heather and tamra are throwing the jelous card around and gretchen is being nasty towards you and you have done NOTHING to them?!?!?! I love you Alexis and i admire you a great deal and I think your marriage is amazing, you two are old fashioned and I love it! Everyone needs to get off your case clearly the jelousy is coming from the other wives especially Tamra and heather their green monster practically spill out through the tv screen.
We luv you girl.gretchen is trouble this season.women are so mean at times.gretchen and tamra lie.you will be better off if you do not trust them again.gretchen is showing her true colors.tamra is always a bully.heather and her husband name calling.you can luv and forgive people but you do not have to put up with the jealousy of others.things good are happening for you.print for lexie please.thanks bravo
Aren't there Sky Zones all over the country? I know they have them in Atlanta and St.Louis. People can buy franchises. Are you sure your husband "created" it?
We have a Skyzone franchise here outside of Buffalo, it's a great indoor option for the cold winter days. I like that they have the lounge for the moms. I take my reading for my grad class and read while the kids hop away! I wish you the best of luck with it.
Also, I think you are right that it makes a big impression on your kids, especially your daughter when she sees you pursuing dreams and being a professional, especially when she might see you in a more traditional role most of the time. It opens up her options. I see too many little girls dreaming of their wedding day instead of dreaming of what they will accomplish and how they can change the world for the better.
My goodness girl! I never thought I'd say this but you are actually growing on me! Couldn't stand you when you first came on the show. Was on the fence for a long time after that, now, I kind of enjoy watching you! Are you full of yourself? Absolutely! But aren't all the girls? Your husband is a bit controlling, however, when I see him giving you advice, it is not unreasonable. You are ambitious almost to a fault and he sees that. He is just trying to keep you grounded as far as I can tell. My husband does the same thing to me and I respect his advice whether I take or not. Are you overly competitive with your castmates? Yes. You can't deny it because it's there for all to see on every episode. Own it kiddo. Humble yourself and you will succeed. Keep throwing everyone under the bus on your journey will make "driving that bus" much more difficult!
Happy for you Lex!! Those that post and say you to you to lay off Heather and Tamra, all Ihave to say to you is they deserve for Lex to say much worse than what she does say! So lay off of Lex!!!
Alexis you are sweet & beautiful.....of course people are going to pick on you.
Tamra is classless & finds it difficult to keep up with you.....therefore she knocks you.
Heather is just a pill......and a bizarre looking one at that. Again, of course she is going to target you.
Brush it off and continue to be FABULOUS!
I think your right that these other girls kind of pick on you but when your coach was telling you what you wore was inappropriate she meant for a news segment talking about kids and over exposing them. Totally different from what you wear on a soap opera. You have to know the difference!
It's interesting that Gretchen says Fox 5 wanted her first but she was too busy.... Too busy doing what??? Of all the housewives I think you are just as busy but seem to be good at choosing what extra activities would be best for your career. Your dresses are impressive and who wouldn't want to be on GH and Fox 5! The trampoline park is a great business move as well....congrats to Jim on his work on that.
bravo to you alexis for making the top 10-20 for best breast implants.after you have been belittled so much this season.the comment made about 7 inch N.that was so dum.now the girls will try to turn it around.you are moving forward.we luv you best and stay as you are.they should of watched what they said.gretchen will someday be sorry .or maybe she will never tell you and vicki sorry.she has a hard time admitting she does wrong.god bless!print for lexie please.
ok....A wardrobe for General Hospital is faaaaar different from the wardrobe that would be required for a NEWS story...
I love that you never have nothing bad to say about anyone,you rock,HEATHER,TAMRA are so JEALOUS of you they can not go one episode without saying something about you they ARE OBSESSED WITH YOU,SO FUNNY WATCHING HOW INSECURE THEY ARE WHEN THERE AROUND YOU!
Alexis I too find myself liking you better this season. Please put Tamra and Heather in their places at the reunion. Also Gretchen has turned on you and you should get rid of her two face bc you don't need that negative energy. Tamra can have her I mean really!
You are by far my fav this year! You make the show interesting & fresh! I think Tamra has some real issues, Vicki is getting too old, her spunk is gone & her new man is a phoney! Heather is so into herself, you can see her trying to use the show to get her career as an "actress" back, yet I don't recall seeing her in anything, lol. I haven't figured out our new BFF yet, hoping she is being real towards you. The only thing that bugs me is when someone says they have something you feel the need to be like "Oh I have two of those"! We love you no matter what you have, if you limit your comments on being better or having more than the other housewives you'll be fine! With that being said, your a great Mom, wife and you make the show fresh & fun. Good luck & have fun, let loose and don't worry about being better, you already are! :D
You know Alexis I think sometimes the girls are so catty with you. Please continue to take the high ground. You have become my favorite of the season. Not only because we share a love for the Lord but because I think you are real. Just continue to be yourself & with your faith. Everything always seems to work itself out. I have also noticed on this show that someone has to be picked on every season. This is your turn. next season it will be someone else;)
God Bless you Alexis! You ARE doing it right!! I like you more & more & you are so much better without Gretchen next to you! She was the "red devil" on your shoulder! Tamara & Heather are just incredibly mean. I think Tamara is bitter & can't stand anyone to be happy. Congratulations on your business adventures! And good for Jim going with you to some of these festivities - very courageous of him knowing what some of the animals are saying!
I don't get why d other ladies just can't stop talking about u. Even Heather's hubby. I get how married people did share stories or talked about der friends to there partner but it's just weird, Terry could be a talk show host he can be like AC! Lol! Ur fun and u luv ur kids and hubby so much and we can see it from watching d show. I got a question for u for d reunion before you guys tape it... How is ur relationship wid Gretchen so far? Gretchen might not agree wid tamra or heather or even Terry's opinion about u but it just sucks watching her not even defending u when u had her back for years...
I'm so glad to see you stepping out on your own. Don't let your husband keep you in the kitchen pregnant and barefooted.
Love you Alexis...I love all of you housewives on RHOC!!!!! Follow your dreams and you will be fine...Happy Mother's day to you too!!
Alexis, I love your blog and I'm amazed at your endeavours. You aren't afraid of anything and set a great example for your children by putting yourself out there in so many ways. Your Christianity shines through in your daily actions. No bad mouthing, just trying to be the best person, wife, mother, friend you can be. You're Rock on JB and Happy Mother's Day!!
Just wondering where your nanny was during your business meeting? There seems to be smoke and mirrors everywhere and as a viewer I don't believe you. Jim really "created" the trampoline park, really? I'd look into that.
Alexix,
Great job this season. You look fabulous and please do not listen to Gretchen. She is so in to herself and does not want you to do well. Keep up the good work!
Lexie is are favorite.we hope you leave that show behind.you are such a sweet person and you do not need that in your life.i am glad you are putting jim and kids first because the wives have become so - jesus will bless you. and you can do other possitive things were you will not be bullyed and called names.i only watch oc now and if you leave i will give it up.luv the bellinos.if you leave good luck in all you do.print for lexie please bravo.thanks!
You should if you leave oc.go on dancing with the stars.you have long legs i bet you would be great.nene and teresa on C.A.you could go on there if some of the other women would not be jealous of your kindness and beauty.good luck to your family.Lexie is a funny girl.you rock J.B.print for alexis bellino please.thanks!
Loving the confidence you are gaining now that you are also working outside the home. You did great on GH. I like you more all the time. Am I the only one that has noticed that Heathers husband is trying to be one of the girls? He is always huddled up with the mean girls gossiping! I find him even creepier than Vicky's new man. Don't agree about Vicky's kids....she reacted horribly to her daughters marriage, when Brianna was so obviously happy and excited. Still, she is the best choice for a friend from the women there. Heather and Gretchen have been hanging around with Tamra, and she brings out the worst in anyone she is around.
I could barely stand watching last night's episode and that ridiculous birthday party. Puppies to play with, and then the nerve to suggest they try to talk their parents into taking one home? I felt so sorry for you. I just have to hope that the editing is what made you sound and look so pathetic and that really the party was better than that. It's just that you try too hard, all the time. It comes off as superficial and terribly silly. You are so pretty and I'm sure have a good heart, but I'm just not convinced that you are very smart. Good luck.
Lexie,i had read there might be a new show about women with faith.you should be the first on the list.you sweet kind christian.jill zaran could go to california and tape 4 months out of the year for the show.and i heard melissa was leaving nj maybe.then they could get 3 to 4 new housewives.you and jill would be great.you traditional and jill a jewish faith.call it real housewives of faith.luv the bellinos.print for bravo please.thanks.i will blog and tell andy.
Alexis, I have to tell you how sorry I am that you have had to endure the abuse from your fellow cast mates. This is the first time I have written to blogs. I just finished writing Tamara and giving it to her with both barrels. I was so disgusted with her behavior as well as the other girls, I had to get up, go outside, get my computer and write to the both of you. I could care less that you talk about your wealth. BIG DEAL! Everyone has their thing they cling to....their identity...........big deal......I enjoy hearing you go on and on about it........their is a kind heart that shines through all of it........however, I am writing to Bravo to let them know that if I have to sit through a full season watching Tamara and her bully behavior, they have lost me as a viewer. I am disgusted at the way she rallies people around her side (for whatever reason she is doing this) and then watch her sit back and smile as the vultures tear apart a kind woman. Hang in there.........America loves the underdog...and they just made you the underdog..........to their own undoing.........
Alexis, Hang in there...you are authentic...so what...you do not want to wear real jewelry...I travel with replacement jewelry...why fret! Who cares! You continue to be who you are!
After watching the "dinner Intervention" in Costa Rica tonight, I felt awful for you. All except Vicki attacked you; they were all on the bandwagon; led by Tamara. I would guess you had some prior to the trip after your meeting with Tamara; as anyone would. You displayed great courage going on the Costa Rica trip; knowing that Round 2 could be coming at any time. My heart went out to you after the dinner exchanges. Tamara seems to be gunning for you; and it's nobody's business regarding your cars, home or finances; although it does make for good reality TV. At least you're only staying two days and don't have to endure five days more of that abusive attack. I would have done the same thing; returning to my room and having a good cry. They were all out of line and bullyish. Hope you're feeling better by now.
Alexis, I so enjoy and admire the love you have for your family and your faith. The only advice I can give you My Dear, as I am old enough to be your Mother, hold your head up, love your family as you do and your Faith will get you thought these harsh remarks that some of the girls say about you. I'm not so sure I would take trips with the girls sometime. As they say "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer) ! Enjoy and celebrate life.
I admire you because you work hard, value your family, keep a positive attitude and despite what any of the cast members say, you are far more "real" and have 1000 times more integrity than the rest of them put together.
We all talk about the lives we know, and that's all you are guilty of. Did you ever say "I have a new car" with the intent of putting someone else down? No. Did the other girls PURPOSELY call you dumb or a social climber with intent to hurt you? Yes - that makes them mean girls! Especially Gretchen when she told you Fox 5 wants her over you, but she's too busy for it. That's B.S.
You go girl! Good things will keep coming your way.





Your husband is amazing, great couple ! However, I know it does not bother you, but Jim should just let you have any career you want. You juggle well and I see that Jim and children will always be # 1 on your agenda. I like your new attitude I picked up in this blog.
