Jon & Kate Plus 8 Episode & Schedule Changes, Pop Wrap Review & Chapters has Multiple Blessings!

Sorry this post will be short tonight, but this Holiday was exhausting. Having the kids home today was a nightmare. Who was hungry, bored, and fighting all day. Those that try to pass judgment that Kate has a helper is insane. I wish I had 2 when they're home driving me crazy.

Trying to keep up with all the episode and schedule changes for this show is crazy. At first they were going to have a episode called "Soups" with Kate cooking but now if you look to the right you will see a new updated list of new shows. Also on Wikipedia they are saying that season 4 started with Epidose 51 "Boys Day Out" on June 23rd, 2008. So I thought we were in season 3 still but apparently we are not.

New York Post Pop Wrap Review

All how I love to read the great New York Post Entertainment section. And not for the reviews though they are usually spot on as to how I feel about them as well. Sometimes the comments on the bottom are funnier then the story about the episode. Someone by the name of Beth (could it be the REAL Beth? lol) left a great comment about how the show is better than ever and how horrible hate sites like GWOP are. You can read it HERE. I truly think at this point they are not longer reputable and just there for bitter mean people looking to be bullies. I'm telling you, this is the reason I refuse to allow anons on this site. I would bet that its the same few people posting 50 times. And for the record, they removed the Penn Mommy posting. I wonder why...........

Chapters Has Early Multiple Blessings Books!

And finally, a reader has told me that she already has a copy of the Multiple Blessings book from Chapters. I have never heard of this store but I'm to assume its like Barnes N Noble? Lets hope SOMEONE goes on a book tour so I can meet them!

Happy Birthday Cara & Mady! K-Mart & Kate Promote the Holidays!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARA & MADY! Baby Mama wishes you the happiest of birthdays and hopes that you have a wonderful fun weekend in Orlando. Hopefully you will get to both Universal & Disney! You girls are very special and we love to watch you guys each week on your show! Thank you to Leah for making a cute tribute video!

Kate as the new K-Mart Spokesperson??

Please take a look HERE on Showcase Minnesota as Kate talks about gearing up for the holidays with K-Mart!

Thanks for voting on my polls! Its always funny to see how the readers are so evenly divided on issues. Last week was about the odd disappearance of Penn Mommy's blog. 61% said yay! Wile 73% wanted it back. Please vote on this weeks poll that also pertains to this.

Jon & Kate in Good Housekeeping Excerpts & Episode Review

Well apparently after all the hype for the Good Housekeeping episode, we were hoping for this great show and it was a bit of a bore. For me it was because I had a horrible flashback of when I was in Sears trying to get my kids to take a photo. The girl had NO idea how to get the kids to smile, it wasn't until the manager came in with better toys and attitude that I actually got a decent shot.

As usual the wolves had nothing to snipe about other than Kate's hair, the new washer and dryer and the fact that Kate said they needed to look "thinner". Didn't they realize what Kate was saying, that its nearly impossible to get 10 people in a photo without squeezing? I applaud the puppet lady for bringing in the laughs and knowing when to save a kiddie meltdown.(It was Janie and Jack they were wearing which is a subsidiary of Gymboree.) It also bothered me that people had SO little to gripe about that they actually checked the records of how big the bottom floor was since Jon said it was like 200o square feet and it was actually something less! Pretty lame. I know how hard it must have been having all those people there for two days, and I think that the family handled it great. For those who commented on sad Cara, please don't worry. My daughter who was a doll the whole day started acting up right as the camera was about to shoot them. I was so mad since we KNOW are kids are usually better.

I forgot to say yesterday how nice it was to see "longtime friend" Nana Joan say such nice things about the family in the People Article. It only goes to show you to never believe what the naysayers say about family not being in their lives anymore. Didn't GWOP say that both Nana Janet and Nana Joan were out of the kids lives? (lol) Also alot has been going on with the finding out that someone that was blogging about knowing the Gosselins was fake and never knew them at all. There are accusations that people were going to send this Penn Mommy person money to help with the medical bills of her son who passed away. Please please never believe or send ANYONE money over the internet. Even if I tell you I only have one leg..I'm kidding, but you know what I mean. Especially through Western Union.....

Just Jared.com article can be found HERE. Lil Sugars article is HERE. Its nice to see them talk about getting through tough times in their marriage and admitting that life may not be normal for this family again!

The Jon & Kate Gosselin Week in Review Good Hosekeeping Finally!

Sorry for another short post, but Baby Mama is back to part-time working, trying not to spend too much and getting back into life after labor. I have not seen the Good Housekeeping Episode yet, but I will try to watch the rerun tonight and do a review tomorrow. I was trying to start a Sunday Gosselin "Week In Review" and I'm a day late.

1. Penn Mommy's son passes away: Ok regarding this, I need to refer you to my sister site. I don't know what the situation is. If a persons child passes away the hurt and anguish is unthinkable. If this is was truly the case there are no words. However in light of what I read over at GDNOP, I would be angry as hell if this was a hoax. Its unthinkable and also makes you wonder about how much we will believe on the Internet.

2. Birmingham Video Removed From You Tube: A person who went to a Jon and Kate Meet & Greet posted segments of the show for family to view that couldn't go. NEVER realizing that the GWOP wolves sniffed it out and posted it on their site. 2000+ hits later the poor girl had to take it down and write a letter to the site. Nina was contacted and you could read that HERE if you haven't already. Shes a fan that learned the hard way that when it comes to J&K blogs sphere, nothing is sacred.

3. Good Housekeeping, People Magazine & Regis & Kelly: The haters heads are about to explode because they cant keep up with all that is Jon & Kate this week. They are everywhere. For the fans, this is great news, as it shows that regardless of the horrible things that are stated about them, they can rise above it and not stoop to the level of some other sites on the Internet.

Finally! The Gosselin's in People Magazine

Leave Mady Alone, Celebrity Baby Scoop & Cookie Article

Tonight my almost 8 year old daughter threw a fit at a friends house party over not wanting to eat dinner but wanted just desert. In front of everyone she puts her "Mady face" on and yells "there's nothing for me to eat here, everything looks horrible". I wanted to choke her. When we got home we had a huge "talk" where she slammed the door and cried I ruined her life because I embarrassed her.

Alot of blogs tend to bash and really go off on Mady. Someone on I believe Facebook made a comment how the only people that defend her actions are those who have her themselves. They were so right. I have a Mady. A strong willed eldest child that has to adjust to lots of siblings that demand the attention that was solely on them at one point. One that acts up, the "pouty one", the one with all the needs yet tries to act the most independent. This is one of the main reasons I relate to Kate so much. I try in front of others to talk about her "promise". But whether you are blessed or not to have a strong willed child, all of us at some point feel helpless that we have not done enough to make your baby the picture of child perfection. I feel the guilt of being so pre-occupied with my others I tend to let alot of discipline go and allow her to get away with things I shouldn't so that adults can whisper and say "Ohh honey how do you let her get away with talking like that?"

What pisses me off about the haters regarding Mady is that when they talk about how "bratty" she is I want to punch them. I know that sounds horrible but I do. She is just like many children I know but now and forever will have to read all the horrible things people said about her and her family. Not that she hasn't already seen herself on TV and not liked a time or two she saw herself not being nice. Maybe that might make her think twice about some of the choices she makes. More that I hope that one or two of the haters might see how horrible it is to comment about a child period. Because she is no different than so many children out there, mine included, that just has the problem of people feeling they can criticize her. Back in August I wrote about why I liked Mady as a tribute to her. You can read it HERE.

Why I Love Kate

A few people on other blogs constantly ask the fans they are trying to "convert" why they like Kate so much. For me I see a woman who is securing a good future for her family. So that when all the haters go away and move on to perhaps the Duggars, they can afford for each of them to be financially stable in an unstable economy. I love that they are able to be there every day with their kids that I wish I had with my own husband. I love that she is who she is, without fault, and doesn't change for a few nasty bitter people. She knows when to say your sorry to a husband that loves her. I love that she is a good mother. I like that she made both lemonade and Sun In with her lemons...ok you get the point. So check out this great article when Kate was interviewed for Cookie Magazine that was also in Celebrity Baby Scoop regarding how her show is the #1 reality show for of course moms and how she handles being "Kate Gosselin".

The Gosselins In People Magazine, Huge Pencil Issues on Regis & Kelly

Did anybody over at Regis & Kelly question the set dressers decision to put HUGE sharp pencils as toys on the set for the kids? Besides being dangerous they were distracting and smacked half the kids in the head? Obviously this person has no kids of their own. Kate and I both were having mental freak outs, I'm sure. I was also super surprised they didn't plug the book! And how embarrassing would it have been if poor thin Kelly got smacked in the head! I liked that Maddy stood up and took charge of the conversation! What did you think? And finally, did any of you get this weeks People Magazine yet? I hear that there's a great 6 page spread! I will make sure that I comment to them how GLAD I am that they are finally put in there. Ive heard its great and the haters are super upset. Lots of "damage control" comments and stuff by them. I will hopefully get one and comment myself soon. And I also updated yesterdays episode list and I noticed that the Hawaii episode was bumped again. Will it be for the season finale in November? Anybody know?

GDNOP links to Jon & Kate's speaking engagement that was videotaped in Birmingham. Who had the balls to sneak anything in? (lol) You can see it HERE or go directly to their site.

Updated TLC Site, Nosy Bloggers, Jon & Kate Do Canada!

I know that tomorrow Jon & Kate will be on Regis & Kelly, but I hope someone will post it on You Tube because I will totally forget to watch since I'm getting kids to school. I remember how someone started all this smack on GWOP by saying Kate snubbed Kelly once at a function and the story wasn't made up. Yeah right. That's why she's on the show tomorrow. Anyway I noticed how TLC updated their Gosselin page, and I really don't like it. See it HERE. Its really just a place now to ask your burning questions for another possible boring Q&A filler show. For me, its like "either talk about the juicy hater stuff or not bother. " Does anyone even go on that site?

Cafe Moms Nosy Neighbors / Jon & Kate Do Canada!
Ok, so I don't like to go on either Facebook or Cafe Mom's Gosselin blogs because it just seems like its the same few haters going from place to place bashing the family. Cafe Mom appears to be the worst. It appears that one or two of the neighbors have gone on there and do nothing but look out the window to complain. You know, like that old lady that sat outside the window on "227" (LOL) Lets read a quick snippet shall we?

Just one thing that we have noticed lately.....the helpers now no longer park in front of their house all day long...they now park in various locations within the development, I guess so those of us that have to drive by to exit the development would get the impression that J & K are finally attempting to raise their own family....DIDN'T WORK....We caught on, it was a good effort though.

It blows my mind the 1: so many would comment on it not knowing if it was true & 2: that this person is obviously so pent up over the Gosselins & 3: People still love hearing smack from "insiders". Why do you care that they get more help? Why does it bother you that people are over there? I just don't get it. And finally someone on Facebook posted how Jon & Kate will be in Edmonton October 9-12th filming in the world's biggest Mall! After finally going to Mall of America recently with my kids this is my new second heaven. How lucky are they?

Jon and Kate plus the kids are coming to Edmonton this Fall to tape an episode. The reason for this is that Jon has a business trip that takes to Edmonton for a conference. And Kate wants to go to the West Edmonton Mall with the kids.

From a TLC e-mail:
West Edmonton Mall's Galaxyland Amusement Park, World Waterpark & Sea Life Caverns will be closed due to Filming on October 9, 10, 11 & 12, 2008. We advice you not to interfere with filming. When the Jon and Kate plus the kids are in Edmonton please let them film and not stop them to talk. The Edmonton Police will act as security guards.


Episode lists will now be at the right since I keep having to update them all the time. Hope this looks better and is easier for you all to find!

Jon & Kate FAQ, Live w/Regis & Kelly, NEW Pop Wrap Aritcle

Well, sorry about my two day absence. With the market crashing the guilt to buy a new computer gave into me not having a computer. We just went on this big trip, visited both Disney, Universal & Sea Worlds Aquatica. Coming back to the charge card bill made me as sick as needing to put more on it to pay for a new computer. Lets all pray that something turns around this economy or this will be a sad Holiday indeed. My only joy was that our 10 month old baby is now walking! Insane I know...

I was a bit disappointed that Jon & Kate this week were answering more "tougher" viewer questions. It was just because I knew that the crazies over at GWOP would have something to write about. I didn't find out any new cute stuff that I normally do. It appeared to be a bit of filler, until next week and the season finale episodes. Though people state over and over how they would NEVER want the Gosselin life, and how the kids are exploited and take too many trips, its just plain jealousy at its finest. Alot of you feel like you can no longer relate to a family that is being given so much. And alot of you are split on whether you are just tired of all the "gang mentality." But after watching 17 and counting, I am happy to stay with the Gosselins. I find THAT family totally unrelateable and a bit sad and robotic. Now please don't tell me that you don't find the Duggars a bit off. I relate to Kate because she gets what she can from this mess and tells it like it is. Shes mouthy, opinionated & my kind of tough lady and that's why I maintain this blog.

Jon & Kate on "Live With Regis & Kelly"
The haters are already begging the followers to boycott the show. Why people actually listen to them scares me as that is some kind of scary stuff there. Why dislike someone you don't even know just because they get free stuff? I wish I could have known about this sooner I would have loved to get tickets. You can see them October 3rd.

NEW Pop Wrap Article
I was excited to see the first shots of Kate picking out her Renewal Dress. And I always enjoy reading what the New York Post has to say about how much they love the show. But they allow ANYONE to comment and the haters came out in force. Check it out HERE. You just gotta laugh at how ridiculous they look commenting the way they do.

Ugh, was anyone else praying that GWOP would never come back and fall in a hole somewhere? Marathon tonight might make us feel better! Watch and let me know if I miss anything..(Project Runway is also on.. ;)
