Jennifer Hudson

While she is not a mother....I just had a to take time out today and comment on the awesome job Jennifer Hudson did singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. In her first public appearance since her recent tragedy, Jennifer stood strong, looked amazing and brought tears to the eyes of many yesterday. If you missed it yesterday, here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc8W9jJSpIs

Check it out....it will give you goosebumps.

Malia and Sasha

Words can not express how I felt yesterday during this historic occasion. However I am sure there are hundreds of blogs that posted about yesterday's events and what took place. I wanted to take time out and point out the wonderful outfits the first daughters wore for this event. Malia and Sasha were each fitted in original J.Crew coats that were elegant and affordable. Everything down to the colors, styles and fabrics were hand picked specifically with these girls in mind. Unfortunately they are not currently available in J.Crew stores, however they do have a wide variety of winter wear at http://www.jcrew.com/index.jsp as part of their crewcut kids collection. I thought it was nice to see them in something that was classic and brightly colored, while at the same time being something I could put my on little girl in (most J.Crew kids coats still run about $100, which can still be a little pricey when you have smaller children who grow every week).

Good job Michelle, she seems to be working hard to keep her girls well grounded with all that is going on around them. She is even bringing her mother to the White House with her for added support.

The Real on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta'

Okay, although many of us hate to admitted it, we are sorry that the season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is over. I tried hard not to like/watch the show but I have to be honest and say I found it very entertaining. I thought the season finale was boring compared to episodes in the past. However, I am, like most of you looking forward to the reunion show.

This morning there were several post over the Internet about what the truth was behind these ladies' stories. Kim's mystery man evidently is a married real estate developer and they broke up. NeNe is a former dancer and aspire actress (which is why she did the show). Sheree has a 23 year old daughter who she referred to as her 'friend" in an interview. Lisa has other children, by ex husband Keith Sweat and DeShawn is the real deal. Gossip aside I have to admit that I was impressed with each woman's strength and ability to overcome adversity (well maybe not all the women). Whether it was a trouble relationship in the past with their previous spouses or focusing on a community service outreach program the ladies are all trying to make their mark.

Who was your favorite housewife? I think each week it changed depending on the episode for me.

Jada's Golden Rules

I love this month's cover story in Cookie Magazine on Jada Pinkett Smith and her family values. She is picture throughout the article with pics of her and her 8 year old daughter Willow. The fashions show off are really cool. While they may be out the price range of the average momma and daughter, they are fitted with some items from J Crew. Her mom style rocks.

She talks about her Golden Rules for parenting which include eating as a family, getting help from others (i.e. grandma and extended family), drinking water for energy, respecting our kids boundaries, choosing your battles and exposing and educating your children to new things. It is a pretty cool article. She is also featured with her husband in this months Essences magazine where she talks about marriage. I love how she is constantly changing but stays true to herself.

Halle Berry & baby Nahla Ariela

This is my first celebrity mom feature and I thought I would start it out with classic favorite, Halle. This pic is a month old but I just love how peaceful both mom and baby look. Isn't Nahla Ariela adorable. Look how Halle is glowing, motherhood brings out our inner beauty.

They are enjoying a fun day at the zoo.
