Good journey and experience!

Jacqueline,

I think you are a great mom and I give you lots of credit for the patience you have with your daughter. Girls are not easy at that age! You have a beautiful family and I enjoy watching the show each week. I am born and raised in NJ but left to go to SC after I got married. I never realized how much Jersey girl I had in me until I started watching the show. I can really see how much I am still that "Italian Jersey girl"!
:)

You are my faviorite on the show!! Does anyone know her daughter Ashleys full name? Thanks !

Congrats Jacqueline!

Jacqueline, you are a class act. Congrats on the new addition to your family! Gotta love family, but gotta have strong values just the same. God bless you and your family. I can only strive to be a woman/mother/wife like you!!

Love,
Your fans in Milwaukee, WI

Jacqueline,

I think you are very classy, and sweet. I wish I could have been there when you punched! Caroline, that would have been Aewsome. :) I was watching the reunion tonight and when the question came up about you letting caroline run all over you, and you was kinda like no she dont do that, But if you go back and watch the show befor you even get 2 or 3 words out of your mouth, Caroline jumps in and takes over like she always has. Thats just my point, I wouldnt let her do me that way.

Hello Jacqueline, I am a mother and grandmother with almst 17 grandchildren, another coming in November. Of all the ladies on the show I was the most impressed with your true sincerety. You are a sweet young lady that is doing a great job with your family. Ashley looks like a fine young lady too, she will find herself you will see. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer for some to set their goals in life. With your friendship with Danielle, I felt very sorry for her and past is past. As long as she was not convicted on any of the bad stuff in the book I believe anyone can say anything about you and anyone can write a book, she needed to clear her name and did the best she could in front of her daughters and I have to give her credit for that. As far as the rest of the family I always told my family you treat people how they treat you. If there are problems just walk away and don't look back. It was right you told the truth as you could see it, and anyone that maliciously tries to say anything bad of another especially when there are children that are part of her family that lives in this town it was wrong for them to continue to discuss this outside of the family. I am not so impressed with Caroline or Dina's way of handling this. Discuss this with the family first and see if any convictions or charges had come against Danielle before they spread any info through out the town. Stay true to yourself, you and your husband showed alot of class. I like Teresa, oh well I too being italian with family in Milan and Florence Italy we do get passionate about things at times. It was only a table, its not like she threw someone out the window...although she could have! Just laugh about it...theres a story to tell the kids when she becomes an old lady!!!

I have to agree with what you said in your blog. Danielle may of had a bad rep in the past that people hold against her but hey she could be great now. We all have a past. But we can't judge those people. It is what she is and doing today. If she is a threat to you or your family then yeah I understand how you or anyone else would not want to continue that friendship. But I think she is ok. Rumors are Rumors. And you should base your own opinion on her by what you see and what you hear from her.

Dear Jacqueline,

I must admit that after reading your blog, I am more impressed with your personality than I previously assumed. I have always thought you were a sweetheart but I also took you to be a push-over because while watching the show it feels like you care too much about what your in-laws have to say about you and your choices in life. However, after reading what your point of view is, it gave me great admiration for you as a person and I want to commend you for being a individual with a mind of your own. There are always 3 sides to a story anyways, yours, theirs, and the truth...so for you to accept Danielle for who she is, shows great character in you.

Like you said, you let people live and their past is their past and that's why you and your family ( you,husband and children) are blessed the way you are. Who are we humans to judge others, when we all have made mistakes. Nevertheless, if the relationship between you and Danielle is not going to work out, then only time will tell. She does seem to be very needy and I'm sure her many sad stories may wear you out. But you have it under control and I'm sure you'll make the best choices for you and your family regardless to others.

God bless you and your family and congrats on the new baby!!!!

Jacqueline
You are an awesome lady and I can relate a lot to you. I think I am very much like you and it can get stressful and awkward to be in the middle. However you have to realize that your family is first and foremost the most important part of your life and they come first. I know you know that and feel the same but dont let a person you havent even known that long cause a rift in your beautiful and close family. Next, I think Danielle probably is a nice person but I watch and see myself and a part of my past I never want to relive. I had a "friend" very very much like Danielle and went through almost this same thing as you. I didn't trust my instincts and my "Danielle" was toxic and destructive. I cannot emphasize how much your story compares. Please take my advice and keep her at a good distance. YOu can be civil but I think if you get away from her you will feel the relief. dont be like me and let it go too far.

Jaqueline-
You are by far the most sweet and sensible housewife. I applaud your efforts to remain friends with Danielle and sticking to your guns that you will make your own judgements about her based on your experiences with her. Bravo! (no pun intended)
To often us women forsake a friendship based on rumors, or we judge to harshly because we are jumping on the bandwagon and looking for acceptance within a particular group. I agree that Danielle is a little nutty, completely overhwhelming and can at times be draining but discarding your friendship over something that may or may not be true and that happened a lifetime ago seems childish and immature. Even if there was a grain of truth to the book she has clearly moved on to get married and raise a family and decided to make better life choices. We are all allowed mistakes, that is what youth gives us, a time to learn.
Even with all that being said I would still say be careful with Danielle, she seems really fixated on Dina and what Dina is saying about her, she's like a dog with a bone and just won't let it go. She should respect the fact that you are related to Dina and that you have a relationship with Dina that does not include her. I'm sure she can find other things to talk about with you, you both have had fertitily issues, you both have been divorced and at some point you were a single mom so you can relate to what she's going through, why focus so much on Dina. You need to ask yourself that the next time you want to evaluate your friendship with Danielle.

Jacqueline. Best wishes on the birth of your baby boy. I was glad to see that you kept Danielle as a friend. It seems that the two of you were okay until your sister in laws got involved. If my sister in laws tried to tell me who to be friends with, I'd start wondering why, and send them packing. I woldn't tack that from my own sisters, let alone my sister in laws. These girls have way too much to say, even with their own kids. Being an adult, you should follow your heart, and not let others influence you. I believe you could give Caroline, Dina, and Teresa some lessons on how to be sophisticated, they are trying hard, but they just can't evolve.

I loved the clip with you and your husband Chris in the doctor's office. Fertility issues can be so heartbreaking, and you could see he got genuinely emotional when talking about the test results. I also loved the big, affectionate hug between the two of you in the doorway. We've seen so little of him but he's so cute and sweet natured. I hope we see more of him in the finale and next season. Congrats on your baby to be (almost here!).

Jacqueline, you are the most down to earth and sincere of them all! Keep it that way. You are a true friend and you think for yourself. If you like Danielle, then so be it. If you don't, then you should be more direct with her. Whatever you do, don't make your decision off of a fatuous BOOK! Unless you have reason to believe that Danielle still does what was mentioned in the book, move on! If Caroline and Dina make you pick between them and Danielle, then they are not as close of a family as they claim to be.

Wow,
Congratulations again and again on Nicholas. May God and the Blessed mother watch and and protect you and yours. I love your demeanor. I love the way you are YOU. Loyal to ALL. You are a spectacular woman. I loved the way you handled your daughter situation. Admirable to say the least, and the way you interacted with Danielle in this episode. You are amazing. God Bless. I do like Dina and Lexi's relationship, and caroline and her children also. All of you together is Bravo entertainment. LOL.

I think Danielle was lucky to have an ally like you in her corner. You were very brave to follow your own heart and make your own judgement about Danielle. I think you were very wise to sit down with Danielle and address any concerns you had with her like an adult. Kudos to you for doing what you think is right in the face of opposition from your sisters. I wish more women had your common sense.

I watched the June 9 episode and noticed you and your daughter's photo shoot disagreement. I just wanted to let you know that 1) It will pass and 2) You're doing everything right. I remember times in my adolescence when my mother would "nag" me about my confidence and maturity and grades, and I would roll my eyes and argue that I was fine. Hang in there. My mom and I are best friends now and I see why she said and did what she did. On the subject of confidence: Time and experience will work in her favor and yours.
You're doing everything right. Good luck.

Jacks, i think you are the coolest person ever and i'm so glad that your having another baby boy.. I think you area great mom, so god bless you and your family. As a person watching from the outside i do agree with some of the other comments about Danielle I think you should be careful with her and just don't let this friendship jeopardize your relationship with your family... family is forever... Joanne

I understand how you feel about the constant battle inside about family or "friend". And I have to say a friend does not intentionally make you uncomfortable and I hope that when the reunion comes around, Danielle and you are not friends anymore. You have great support from your family and Danielle's negativity just seems to bring you down.

Jacqueline,

I had problems getting pregnant. After making love, Put a pillow underneath your bottom, angle your legs up against the wall, It worked for me, I had 4 miscarriages, then someone recomended this and it worked. Give it a try.

Dear Jacqueline~
I want to start by saying I think you are FABULOUS! I just happened upon the show one boring night at home and now I tune in every tuesday night to see whats going on. I have to say out of all the ladies I think you are so sweet and sincere. Not that the others have missed the mark, but there is just something so real and sincere about you that I find heart warming. I wish you the best. As far as all the drama with Danielle, well what ever will be will be! I think whatever surfaces you will make the right decisions. I think Caroline, Dina, and Theresa are right to be concearned, but I also know this is a TV show, and drama is going to be stirred up for ratings. Keep as you are. If you ever find yourself in San Francisco I hope to run into you out and about! You have a huge fan base in the Castro! Until next time Take care of you!

Wishing you well in San Francisco....

Lowell

Could you tell us what kind of makeup you use, Jacqueline? It always looks so flawless!

I haven't seen the whole season yet (haven't caught up with my DVR yet) but by the comments, you must be expecting. Congratulations and God bless! I was really touched by your story with the miscarriages. A few years ago I had 2 miscarriages in a row - chalked up to "bad luck". Although you feel better hearing it wasn't anything you did wrong, it still hurts! I also had two healthy children already, both perfect pregnancies so as soon as I got a positive test, I felt the baby in my arms. I also had early ultrasounds and saw the heartbeat days before I miscarried. For the happy ending, I delivered a perfect and beautiful baby girl last year. Leave it in God's hands. His promises come true and you have those beautiful kids waiting with Him until you can get there and hold them yourself. God bless and best of luck!

Jacqueline,

I see you as a TRUE friend. One that any decent person would appreciate and respect. However, the relationship with Danielle concerns me. It seems that every interaction you have with her, she brings up Dina. Why??? As a friend, can't she pick other things to talk about. Her insistence about going to the club on one episode was ridiculous. You have been happily (hopefully) involved with your in-laws for years now and along come Danielle. I see fatal attraction towards Dina and you are the link. Continue being the sweet person you are but now that you are happily expecting, you need to minimize some of the stress. And just remember, it doesn't mean that you hate a person if you're not friends. It only means that the two of you do not have similiar, productive interests. I have true friends and all others are associates. Good luck!

you are the only decent and likeable one on that joke of a show

Hi Jacqueline, Not sure if you will ever read this. But there is something about Danille that is very scary. She seems to to be your friend to get to Dina. I think she knows you are sweet, caring and accepting person and is using that. When she speaks to you on issues she is defense not something a true friend does, and she is soooo superficial. I dont know how much of this is staged but she is not a friend to you. I would agree with Caroline, Teresa and Dina. And she disrespected Teresa and her husband on the last episode. That is not a friend I would keep arround. Take good care.

Congrats on the new addition to be.

You and your husband seems to be the most normal out of all of them. I think you can teach your in-laws some class. They sure can use it. Good luck with the show.

Hi, Jacqueline. I think you are a good natured person, but
you have to make your own choices in life whether wrong or right. First, you should not have run to Caroline about
the car for your daughter. That issue should have been
discussed prior to purchase with your husband. He was
definitely wrong in buying the car and he did it because
he knew you'd disapprove. Your in-laws had nothing to do
with it and you shouldn't be running to them with your
family issues, please. Also, I agree that Danielle is
too intense in terms of having a friendship with you. It's
very disturbing and very suspect. She also should have
stayed out of your confrontation with your daughter about
her friends coming to CJ's party. Why would you allow her
to accompany you for a conversation that should have been
you and your daughter. Danielle is a very conflicting
person and I must say you don't need the stress that seems to follow are. She's very defensive and appears to
be very desperate for your friendship. It's very scary.
Lastly, you needs true friends outside of your husband's
family and not necessarily Danielle. Do not let your
in-laws dictate who your friends should be. Even though
I think Danielle is very suspect, I think you should
increase your circle of friends beyond Dina, Caroline and
Teressa. Good luck and God Bless.
at this time with the new baby on the way.
your

I am so happy for you and your soon to be new arrival. I love this season I think it's the most real. Way better than the OC or NY. I just wanted to comment that I feel you make watching the NJ housewives a true delight! Your so real and genuine. Do not fall victim to the cattiness and vicious gossip. Just know that only God has the right to judge and no one else. Take care....

Want to say congradulations on the new baby to be. I think you are so sweet.......or is it the editing LOL. I believe you are a great mom and freind. I am glad you decided to deal with Daniel and not just push her away without getting the facts......now you have them. I want to know if you and her are still freinds. I love the way you dress. FYI I've been to Vegas twice and it was a blast. I did not want to leave. Did you live far from the Cassinos.......is it too personal of question to ask how did you and Chris meet

Jacqueline, Remember that your in-laws are your husband's family not yours,and have no right to tell you who to see and whom not to see. You are an adult and have a mind of your own, and have the right to have friends outside of the Monzo's. They themselves have their skeltons in the closet. why are they all of a sudden Puritans? Give me a break!

Hi Jacqueline,

You are absolutely gorgeous and I love the show. I just had a baby and am eager to loose my baby weight. Can you share any tips or tricks that you've learned? This might be a great book for you in the future! ;)

Jacqueline, I must say that you are my favorite housewife and I applaud you for not becoming a droid like Teresa and doing whatever your family demands. Having a mind of your own is so hard when you have a family full of control freaks.Sometimes I feel like im watching a bad mafia flick. It's so bizarre, but I applaud you for sticking by Danielle and not being a coward, because after all if she was sooo dangerous wouldnt she be behind bars, DUH!!!Considering how much you have to deal with on a daily basis, between the hardships of mother hood and trying to deal with the current baby situation (which I am praying all goes well) you are a trooper and I just love ya for it! Keep being you and hopefully your family will back off and get their own lives.

By far I must say that Jacqueline is my favorite housewife then caroline and danielle. I admire the friendship between the two of you I find it amazing. It's thought me something about my own friendship that I let others tear apart. Congrats on the Baby. I know from watching the show that it's something that you've really wanted. You deserve it. Can't wait to see the new addition on the new season (Hopefully there is a season 2).

So far, you are definitely my favorite gal on the show. You're lovely and obviously have a great heart. Your husband seemed SO sweet in that doctor's meeting.. I'm happy for your beautiful family.

Also, just to put in my 2 cents, I think Danielle seems like a true friend. I love that you're giving her a chance--it's so obvious that Dina is so jealous of her because she's very thin and close with you. In my opinion you see the good in people and yes, Danielle might be a little.. intense at times, but she means so well and I bet if you called her in the middle of the night she'd be there for you.

Anyway, keep it up!! We love ya!

Jacqueline, congrats on your new addition, I admired that you approached Danielle in a non-threatening way, about "The Book" If I were you don't be so quick to write off Danielle just yet maybe she was in the "wrong place at the wrong time" as she stated. But I know one thing she better get a job or more than one job to pay for that huge place she lives in to support herself and her daughters because her Ex-husband is not doing didly squat about it. Dina and Caroline I know they are looking out for you and they don't like the fact that your hanging out with Danielle in the first place. Looking forward to see the next episode. And again Congrats

Did I miss something? I didn't know that jacqueline was expacting. I just sent a letter to her. I must say I am surprise but at the same time very happy. When did this happened? I quess I would have known if I just read the blogs, but I was in a hurry to get the information to her. Sorry

Toni
PS I hope that you know by the contents of my letter that I didn't wont it posted.

KUDOS TO JAQUELINE.. You are by far a true friend. Yes it is a difficult situation to be in between loyalty to family and friends. But thats shows character to be able to make decisions for yourself and have a mind of your own. Both Caroline and Dina are so uptight, if it wasn't for the show they are nobody come on, ok so they have money but like I said in Dina's and Teresa's blog they may have the money but are poor in having CLASS.
Don't change and continue to stand up in what you believe in,, don't be a follower like teresa

Hi Jacqueline, I want you to ask your doctor if he has heard of Protein S Deficiency. They can put you on a blood thinner if this is what's going on with you.It is something that was discovered in the 80's.You may be miscarrying because of blood deficiency. It happens during the third month when your blood gets thick and the baby is no longer receiving enough blood.I was going to send you a letter, but I wanted this information to get to you as soon as possible. Check me out on google. My name is Toni Burrough and my husband is Gene Burrough Hope this helps you. We just went through this with our daughter-in-law and our son. It was a very painful time for all of us. May God bless you and your family and hope this is the answer to your prayer. If this is what's going on let me know good luck

Jacqueline you are fave housewife.

Jacqueline you are a great genuine person and should be commended on the fact that you want to keep your friendship with Danielle even after all the controversey. I know how you feel with family always trying to get you to do what they want but your handling yourself in a classy manner. Congrats on the baby and I hope you and your husband and your kids are doing great

I like you..but you need a BACK BACK who is afraid of the big bad wolf? you are ..why are you so afraid of what your nosey sister -in-laws think?..they are so controlling ..I have to question why Caroline is so protective ,what is she hiding??...Follow your heart you seem to come across as a good friend to Danielle at least you are giving a her chance to explain..And congrats on the New Baby...

Okay, I love the comments. Just great. Do you people think you could attempt to use proper English and write/say 'sisters-in-law' rather than 'sister-in-laws'? Thanks so much.

Jacqueline....
I normally dont take time to write on these...but your situation made me want to. I just wanted to know if you had ever been tested for Factor Five Leiden...its a simple blood test...but can result in multiple miscarriages if not diagnosed during pregnancy. Something I had to deal with myself....and ironically...a baby aspirin and progesterine helped me have a normal pregnancy prior to them finding this blood abnormality.

Jacqueline,
I think you handle situations very well. It's hard to know if someone is telling the truth or not but its always best to get both sides of the story, and you do a great job at this and as a role model. I understand your daughter has been giving you a tough time but as she gets older she will respect you and want to be a mother like you. Good luck with having a full term pregnancy. P.S find out you and your husbands blood type positive or negative ;-)

I look foward to watching so I can see your hair. You have great hair.I like the pony tail look, will you tells how you do it? Thanks

I watched your show the past couple of weeks and I just wanted to let you know that you helped me get through a tough time in my life. I've been having a hard time conceiving and when I finally did recently it didn't work out. And when I saw you going through the same thing it made me realize it happens to alot of people. And there isn't always a reason for it. I also married into a close knit family and your doing the right thing have your own life and keep it seperate. write back if you can.

I hear you are a couple of weeks away from meeting your son Nicholas. This is something to beam about. congrats. Well deserved blessing for you and yours. I just love the way the others choose just the positive comments for their blogs(theresa).lol. I find this highly amusing as you all are there for our viewing pleasure. I just love love your demeanor. You are real and have an open mind. god Bless you.

Jacqueline,

I was wondering if you purchased all the fun favors for Cj's birthday party from one place ?

Thanks
Birthday Planning Mom

Hi Sweet Jacqueline

I think you are a great lady w/ a great family, a matter of fact you're probley the only normal one. Please don't get caught up on the family drama, it's called control.
Keep you & your families business to yourself. I hate the way you will not take control of your own life, your two mother's, Caroline & Dina will have you with no friends, and then they will keep their thumbs on you for about six to ten years then you will finally see the light, I'v seen it to many times w/faimlies, their no different, You see Caroline answers to no one, and Dina either. Wake up,the only one you need to answer to is your husband and he dosen't seem like a problem to you at all, easy right?

YOU HAVE YOUR OWN MIND BUT CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY!! KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE BUT KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER!!!
