Mommywood - Tori Spelling & Tori & Dean's Home Sweet Hollywood

So I have a small confession. I never liked Tori Spelling during the entire BH 90210 series. I though she was annoying and spoiled. And I never felt she could really act. My favorite was of course Kelly (Jennie Garth). Now I need to share another secret with you. I have fallen in love with Tori Spelling. I have watched her reality show originally named Tori & Dean Inn Love since it started in 2007. I have followed her show as it changed names to Tori & Dean Home Sweet Hollywood. I absolutely love her now! And her husband Dean McDermott. They are the cutest couple and make great reality TV.

I read her first book sTORI Telling and loved it. So of course it was only natural that I would want to read her second one Mommywood. In her first book she talked about her life up growing up and how she met Dean and how they fell in love. In Mommywood she talks about having children. She has two kids, Liam and Stella.

The main topic of her book is of course being a Mom in the crazy town we call Hollywood. Tori Spelling is from a celebrity dynasty. She grew up wealthy and knows it. She is not ashamed to talk about her upbringing and all the wonderful things it had to offer. Her fear as a mother is that she wants her kids to have a "normal" childhood and she fears she can't provide that for them. And she kind of has a point with the reality show cameras being in the house 24/7. LOL



What I love about reading Tori's books it that it makes her feel like a real person to me. And watching her TV show I also get that. She has the same fears that lots people have. The same insecurity that most women have. Does she look fat? Is she doing whats best for her children? Daily struggles being a working mom but just wanting to be home with her babies everyday. And wanting to protect her family from anything bad. I think all women can relate to her on some level. It surprised me how many fears and insecurity she has about herself. But I guess if the media had talked bad about me since I was a teenager I wouldn't be very confident either.

I also love to see the relationship between Tori and Dean. This man loves her! It comes across so well on TV. You can see it in his eyes. It makes me want a love like that. Yes, they have problems and they are not perfect. But who is? In this weeks episode Dean re-proposed to Tori at the bed and breakfast that they use to run and it just brought tears to my eyes.

Bottom line is that I have become a fan of Tori Spelling and you should too!!!
