I-have-no-style mommy said:

I want to look stylish and sophisticated when I leave the house, but my wardwrobe also needs to be comfortable and convenient. For instance, I cant wear white because my kids will spill something on me within 5 minutes. I cant wear skirts because my daughter will constantly lift it up. What would you suggest I wear to feel like a hot, confidently-dressed mom without worrying about food on my shirt or flashing my undies?

Beth said:

Hi Tori. I have an 8 year old son and a 14 month old daughter. What do you suggest that I do to keep either one of my children from getting jealous when I am paying attention to one (I.e. Helping my son with his homework, taking care of her needs when she is crying or getting into something) a little bit more than the other?

Canadian Mother said:

Sadly, I wonder what kind of advice someone with your morals could actually offer? It is completely ok to wreck someone else's home? Adultery is a good thing? Seriously, how pathetic you are.

Melanie said:

Lori Nash said:

Hi Tori! You are one hot mama! I think you look great after your last pregnancy and I am so envious. I am a new mom to my 10month old baby girl, Kaylee, and I still havent lost all the baby weight. Seriously, almost a year has gone by and I feel like a fat pig! What is your workout routine so that I can follow it ?

Allison said:

I am right there with the chicken nuggets question! I have 3 kids (21, 18, and 3!)... My 3-year-old gets "too tired" to eat anything other than chicken strips / nuggets / fingers... What do you do with your adorable babies????

Cindy said:

How do you do it Super Mom! Tori you are so awesome. I had a 1pd 11 oz baby boy in late March. He was suppose to be born today 6-15-09. I got really sick and almost didn't make it. But I did. I guess I have a lot of guardian angels "up there" I still have my baby weight and need your tips to help get it off. Because you look amazing after having your sweet baby girl. Thank you for all that you do. I really enjoy watching you and your family on Tori and Dean. You have a wonderful Family.

New life Mama,
Cindy

Expert Mom at MommyAdviceColumn.com says that it takes 9 months to gain weight when you are pregnant and 9 months to lose it after the baby. Do you agree?

Candita said:

Hey tori! I'm a mom of 2 boys under 2 ( 20 months old and 2 months old) MY 20 month old MJ isn't speaking as much as i thought he would be by now, he gets so easily frustrated throughout the day because I never know what he means with his little own language. and now that our second son Caleb has arrived he is regressing a bit and not really into his brother, how do I help MJ with his English and when did Liam start to acknowledge Stella? I know all kids are different , our pediatrician isn't worried about anything yet, I would just like his to be able to communicate so we can have less meltdowns throughout the day

lindsay said:

tori,
what tips do you have for getting the kids to sleep while traveling? i always have a rough time with my baby throughout the night when we are in a hotel. i love your show!

Tiffani said:

I went through the same mom thing with my mom... I have not seen her in 11 years, I thought for me it would be best to move on.. I have always done everything without a mom.. for a long time... I wish I had a grandma for my kids like I had... Watching you and I know its TV but how do you do what you do without your mom.. and how do you feel when others dont understand the connection that you feel for her inspite of what she does or how she acts? Its nice to know that Im not the only one who had a childhood like I had seeing how you explain yours... and the comment about how your mom wouldnt let you play with certain dolls... made me laugh..Oh God thats my mom... I think it made me a better mommy and you too...
