Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true!

Very good post. Anticipating the next.

Just saw you on Andy's show and a picture of the little doggie you adopted. what a beautiful heart you have to give that little woofie a wonderful home. it is such an act of kindness to extend that to one of gods' creatures.

This brings me to an idea:...

Hey, ok, I get it, I guess - but does this really work?

Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

Great idea, but will this work over the long run?

Dina, I admire many of you for different qualities. I many times wish I could be as strong and be able to carry myself off like some of you do. Maybe I will learn. My daughter and I watch the show all the time and really enjoy it very much. You seem to be doing very well raising Lexi, and again I admire that. I went to a wedding yesterday at the Brownstone. What a beautiful place. The food was outstanding. I knew you had to have had your hand into the decorating of the women's bathroom upstairs. It was just gorgeous! You had every thought for a ladies room and carried it out with such elegance....and this is just the bathroom! I wanted to take one of the sinks home with me. You just did everything right. The room that the wedding was in, was exquisite (please spread the word). Your husband happened to be there and I recognized him. He was so low key and polite. He was so nice to take a picture with me! A real gentleman. I only wished I had seen you as well :) Thanks for letting me take your time to read this and share a wonderful experience with you. My best to your family and friends on the show! P.S. I grew up on LI, moved to Livingston, NJ for 10 years and now back on LI....but I still have that teeny bit of NJ in me!

Sometimes it's really that simple, isn't it? I feel a little stupid for not thinking of this myself/earlier, though.

Dina, I love you and your whole family. I am a proud first generation Italian American. Your daughter Lexie is going to be a wonderful women, because she already seems very caring and respectful of you and her family. I have the most respect for women who are single mothers who do everthing they can to make a life for themselves and their children. Congratulations on finding someone who gets that. Teresa is my comic relief, she cracks me up. Jacqueline is so sweet, please pass along my congratulations, and Caroline what can I say, I would definitely want her as a friend not an enemy. I hope ypu ladies decide to come back, if not we'll have to watch reruns.

Leave Dina alone. . you guys don't know how much good she really does !!

dina,
I think your great...isaw you on the wedding show and you were great then also... i think you are a great person at hear... your wise crack comments are funny and you know as much as danielle has put you through for you to put it like that instead of truly bashing her is great...can't wait for the next show!!!

Hey Dina:

I am addicted to all the Real Housewives shows-however New Jersey has been incredible! You are my FAVORITE housewife out of every show and season. Your family dyanmics are very vibrant and real-it really hits home!

Hope you keep up the work and sign another contract because you make for good TV.
XO,
Jess

Jersey is so much fun. Started with OC and said I'd never watch another - then sat down over a weekend and watched NYC - swearing to never watch another - right - then Jersey - now my favorite. Won't watch Atlanta - we'll see. You girls are real - well everyone except "D" Love your blonde shade - what does your hair dresser use?

hey dina. i am only 14 and you are my favorite housewife. I wish I could be as lucky as the housewives and have that lifestyle. You are an inspiration to me and you make the show! You are awesome : )

I forgot to mention, I read a super mean comment about your "rooster" decor.. I LOVE YOUR TABLE AND CHAIRS!!!! Just LOVE them, I actually paused the DVR and waited for my husb to come in the room to see it. It is french country / European decor. Whoever wrote that idiotic comment about your gorgeous furniture is crazy! I just want to know where I can buy it! xo, Lisa

Dina, you are one of my most favorites on the show... just because I can relate to you. It was just he and I when he was just months old when I realized what true love really was and that was the love I had for my child. My son and I are very close, I had him when I was 18 and am now 36, I see so much of myself in you because he and I share that connection that I see in you are your daughter. He is my best friend just like I see that in you and Lexi. I too have been in tears quite a bit (every time I'd take him to his first day of school until he was in 8th grade!!) Anyways I am married to a wonderful man and have been since he was three years old but there will always be a stronger bond with us because it was just he and I at first, and you and Lexi are in some ways the same. She is adorable, smart and loves you so much- you have done an excellent job with her and there is nothing wrong with crying when she goes out of town, especially out of the country! I would die!! You can always work when she grows up and who knows... maybe you two can do it together! :0) Lisa

Well I am middle class financially and I am a single mom who would love to have the type of money and freedom you guys all have. I belive for all that God has blessed you all with your behavior is terrible,childish,petty and there is no excuse for it at all. I would not be friends with any of except Jacqueline I love her charactor and she is classy. Dina on your blogs you seem like a better person then you came across as on tv. Caroline is a bully and she needs to pick on someone her own size, you guys out number danielle and intimidate her. Grow up ladies and get a real life.

Dina
What a wonderful lady you are. I watched everyone of your shows. Not skipping a beat of how you are as a person, how you act,listing to every word out of your mouth and your actions. What an awesome lady of self control. Me I no doubt would have lost control and knocked Danielle out into the garbage where all trash belongs. You are so right to keep her out of your life. Toxic waste can not be trusted. Be Safe Be Happy. All my best to you and all of your family.

Dina! You are such a sweetheart! I love everything about you! You seem so well-adjusted and although your life is chaotic it seems like you handle every situation the way it should be handled. I hope one day I will be a loyal wife, caring mother, and a true friend to my in-laws, like you. I may be young, but I have been through alot, which has made me quite a bit more mature than others my age. I live with my boyfriend and his family has taken me under their wing, much like it seems the Manzo's have done for you. From watching your behavior on the show I have learned alot about how to handle certain situations that come up. I am truly grateful for that. I also envy your relationship with your sister-in-laws. I've always had trouble with getting along with other women. I have really bad social anxiety and don't know how to approach my boyfriend's brother's wife. She just had her first child and I want to be there for her and get a connection started between us. How do i approach her or is it the wrong time because she is busy with the new baby? So, if you could respond on Facebook that would be great. Get back to me whenever you have time and I would be SO grateful. Good luck with Lexi and your newfound freedom from work. I'm sure you miss it, but it's important to spend these next years with her. Peace and Love to you and your family

dina, I love you and your sister.I am kind of jealous that you are so close.I am also Italian my mother was born in brooklyn.We wound up in muskogee,oklahoma-yuck!!!!I loved the show and tell your sister I think it's great how protective she is over her family.If only there were more people in this world like that.Thank you for listening.Oh by the way I wouldn't be friends with Danielle either.

Dina,
You and your family (including Theresa) are absolutly fabulous, love watching all of you and how close you are.
Danial seems to be the kind of person that thrives on drama and enjoys getting others involved...don't take the bait, it's not worth it. As money hungry as she is don't you think if all the stuff in that book were lies she would sue for slander????
BTW.. where did you get the white top you wore when you went shopping with your brother? I love, love, love it.

In Calif

Dina,

It's nice that your still throwing your little digs, cheap wine and 100 degree room. Its great that you do Ladybug, at least your good to kids.

I hope Danielle comes back, if for nothing but to tick you off. Your sister and you are so fake.
"Family Family Family" give me a break. Your over doing it!

DINA, I LOVE THE SHOW AND THINK THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE GREAT! DON'T EVER FEEL THAT YOU ARE "LETTING SOME WOMAN LIBER" DOWN BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO QUIT YOU CAREER. IN MY OPINION THAT IS WHAT BEING A 21ST CENTURY WOMAN IS. HAVING CHOICES AND MAKING THE ONE THAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

I LOVE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE AND PLEASE DON'T LET SOME, LOW CLASS, DRAMA WHORE COME BETWEEN YOU. DON'T LET HER WIN. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT SHE WANTS. I FIND IT ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE THAT SHE MAKES THE COMMENT THAT SHE NEEDS A MAN TO COME AND SAVE HER AND HER CHILDREN. GET A FUCKEN JOB BITCH!!! NOW THAT WOMAN LIBBERS WOULD BE OFFENDED BY. YOU WORKED WHEN YOU FOUND HERSELF A SINGLE MOTHER. SHE JUST WANTS TO BE ABLE TO GIVE HEAD TO A RICH MAN SO HE WILL TAKE CARE OF HER. OMG!!!! DON'T GET ME STARTED. PISSES ME OFF.

BE WHO YOU ARE DINA. IT COMES THROUGH, YOU HAVE A GOOD HEART.

LOVE, LIVE, AND LAUGH.
LAURIE FROM DENVER

I know how you feel writing this blog, I am a nurse, I can feel the sadness. You have a beautiful soul keep the faith. You are in title no to accept someone base on your values I don't think you need to apologize for that. Danielle does give a bad vibe I would run from her too.

You amaze me. How can you apologize about having made that comment about danielle and then make stabs at how "sweaty" the room was and the "cheap" wine. Come on, have some class.

JACQUELINE

DINA: I think you are very beautiful, intelligent and talented. I admire the relationship you have with Caroline. I am from an Italian family my mother was born in Italy and my father parents were born there. I have 2 older sisters and they don't even talk to me (ever since my mother passed away 13 yrs ago)so I miss not having any sisters around. I don't want them as family, they are very hurtful people. Anyway, on one of the episodes you stated you were not going to work anymore I was wondering if maybe you would hire me. I do have a certificate in interior design and I am so into it. Maybe we can work something out where you can work just a little and I could do most of the work. I live in Boca Raton, FL. and I cannot find a job. I am willing to move to NJ. What do you say. I really need to work because I need the money but also my self esteem has gone down the toilet. I hope you will seriously consider my offer. Thank you in advance.

I love ya Dina! I am a Minnesota girl and you and Teresa
just crack me up! When Danielle is on I usually get up and
do something else for a bit. Your gorgeous and funny. If I had a sister you would be the one I would want!!
Take care, you have a great daughter, I hope you do another season, just hope Danielle is not asked to be on.

Dina,

Like I told your sister I wish I had a sister or a friend like you. You but your family first then your friends.

Your an awesome person

DINA,
I LOVED THE SAMLL CLUTCHPURSE YOU CARRIED TO TERESA'S PARTY. COULD YOU GIVE ME THE BRAND? THANKS SO MUCH.

Dina - what a fantastic, well-written blog from someone so grounded and with such warmth! You're someone to really admire...and I admire you.

I completely enjoy watching the show - but mostly because I love your personality (as well as Teresa's and Caroline's) and relationship with your daughter! :)

All the best with Project Ladybug...I wish you unending success!

I truly, truly admire the fact that you have a family that sticks together. You can tell that you love one another very much and protect one another, too. But I must admit that I think you are in the wrong when it comes to Danielle. In the show, you came off as someone who is extremely MEAN. Everyone, including yourself, has had a past. Picking at Danielle for making poor choices in her past was VERY judgmental of you. I'm sure there are certain things YOU would be ashamed of if someone WASTED their time to bring them to light like you did with Danielle. The world does not revolve around you, and if your sister in law wants to befriend someone, what the heck is it to you?! Ever heard of minding your own business?

To quote Danielle...I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! You made it girl! You are the type of person I would be so proud of to have in my life and call you a friend. Keep it up!

you are a beautiful woman and if anybody says different will they are jealous thats all. i am italian myself and i love the show you guys are true italian.and everything that an italian family is. except danelle she is the stupidest person i have ever seen. she would not make it in my italian family for a day..love you guys and never miss a show.

Dina, you are my favorite on the show. I think the show would have been better without Danielle. I was born in Newark, New Jersey and I can totally relate to all you girls. I've always hated the stereotypes given to "Jersey Girls". I think it's about jealousy and that most people do not deal with strong women very well. I think you just make your fellow cast member jealous and I think you should do your best to ignore her crap. You are very lovely and I think you have to get a thick skin with jealous women. I love your house and I think your little girl is sweet. I have a "Lexie" too. To bad your husband doesn't make a cameo. You are lucky to have such a loving sister and family. Oh, by the way, you have a very beautiful face and anyone could see that you have natural beauty. I've been there with jealousy and I've had to deal. Just remember the best revenge is living well.

Hey Dina. Just wanted to let you know how much I love your show and all of you except Danielle. I wish she was off the show. I really hate to see your season end so quickly, I was beginning to feel like family...love ya!!!!

Hi Dina,
I love the show, I think you girls are my favorite housewives by far!! and I live in orange county, CA.
I think you are beautifull and honet person and I love how close your family is. I keep seeing the re-runs of the episode were your cooking for Lexi and your talking to her about getting her a nanny. what kind of chicken dish are you cooking? also what kind of olive oil was that? love ya!

i LOVE the white flowy top you wore while furniture shopping with jamie. what's the brand?

You are a true giver. You work you "buns" off and you deserve every bit of it! Thanks for giving all of us young women a strong and determined role model! You are a beautiful person.

Hey Dina, I am a very big fan. I love your energy and hating is always at a all time high. I love how you don't allow the small stuff get to you. You keep doing what you are doing and I wish you nothing but success!!!! If you need a new assistant please send me a shout out. NinaCarvel.

I LOVE YOU. You are so beautiful and I love your directness....Rock on girl....you're the BEST!!!!!!

Dina, I love the white blouse you are wearing can you share with me the brand name or where it can be bought??? Pleeeese. You always are dress so cute, and I love the way you put things together, no wonder your business is so successful. I hope I hear from you. Thanks Annette

Where is your husband? Why is it you only see him two weeks out of the year?

Dina! I like you, but enough with bashing Danielle on a blog! The chick is really not my cup of tea either (she's crazy), but enough is enough. All the back and forth is getting lame, old, and boring!!!
