OUR DAY WITH DAYS OF OUR LIVES

February 13th, 2012 by Mari Deno | Ange's Corner, Celebrity Daily, Momz Daily | No Comments »

MITM was invited down to the set of DAYS OF OUR LIVES for their first Meet & Greet with working Soap MOMZ and DADZ!

We arrived and were greeted immediately in the lobby and escorted to a larger room where 4 other Mom Bloggers and Sony’s lovely PR Rep were waiting. As introductions were made, MITM met fireball Loraine Bobbit; (yes you read correctly), self proclaimed DAYS Expert & most FANACTIC FAN ALIVE since 1984!

As she spontaneously gave our Mommy group DAYS trivia, facts and storyline secrets the minute our guided tour of Studio 3 & 4 began, (location of shooting DAYS for the last 15 years,) Angelyna & I made a quick mental note-she was hard core and we LOVED her!!

DAYS FACTS:
At any one given time, a crew of 150-200 members are working hard to give us our daily fix of Bo and Hope’s family “secret”, Sami’s profound grief stricken choice/loyalty issues, Lucas assisting Will with his life changing choices, (YES Luscas is BACK starting February 29th) and Jack and Jennifer’s ongoing roller coaster ride called marriage.
Simply put, Soap DRAMA…the addiction we all usually try to hide and deny.
EXCEPT for Loraine…and that’s WHY we loved her!!! She embraced it, wore it like an well earned cloak of Accomplishment. Our proud peacock.

As we were led into another corridor lined with framed photos of the entire DAYS cast on their historical anniversaries, IT happened.
Loraine Bobbit grabbed her throat and let out a moan only a die hard Soap Fan can. Right in front of us was none other than GORGEOUS Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Without hesitation, our fireball stepped right up to Brady and requested a photo. Not any photo though, when Angelyna was in position to snap this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she INSTRUCTED Eric “Look at me-look deep in my eyes!” AHHHHH! YOU GO GIRL!!! Truly, this went down as one of MITM’s All Time Favorite On Location Moments!!
Without blinking an eye, Eric seamlessly replied, “Its a good thing I like redheads!”

After photos were taken, the interview portion of our Day With Days began. Here’s what we learned:

Arianne Zucker; (NICOLE WALKER), not only is a very committed MOMZ in the MIX and talented working Soap actress, she also is a Mompreneur who started Life Change. Along side Jason Cook (GENERAL HOSPITAL), together they took her idea and founded this organization which is dedicated to empowering others, especially young people, to better their lives through mentoring and career placement. For more information on how to get involved, become a mentor or even submit someone you know who would benefit from Arianne’s inspiring Program, please visit lifechangetheshow.com.

Sarah Brown; (MADISON JAMES), is a very hard working and very honest single mom of beautiful Jordan-the light of her life! “Addressing issues as a single mom in Hollywood has the same hardships as in any MOMZ life. I just take them one day at a time and remember to breathe…DEEP!”

Bryan Dittalo; (LUCAS HORTON), loves being a dad to his son Gabriel, (Gabriel’s mom being one of MITM’s FAVORITE MOMZ…Jessica DeNay; founder of Hot Moms Club). They’ve found a beautiful way to co-parent together and keep Gabriel first in all decisions. This truly is great to hear as so many broken homes turn into war.

All in all, we had a fantastic day! Thank you to all of the DAYS cast who shared stories from the sets and their hearts!

Puberty coming much sooner for young girls in America!

August 9th, 2010 by Angelyna Martinez | Ange's Corner | No Comments »

Puberty coming much sooner for girls in America…. I woke up this morning with my 8 year old daughter kicking me with her long legs, she feel asleep in my bed last night watching a movie. She still looks like a baby when she sleeps, and I love that. I was enjoying this tender moment when suddenly I thought to myself “I wonder when she will start her period? GOD please don’t let her start too early.” Her little body is already changing with tiny baby hairs, faint body order and every month she gets extremely emotional. My little girl still plays with baby dolls, believes in Santa Claus and plays dress up. She is a girly girl and I know this will serve her well when she grows up, however right now she is experiencing the onset of puberty.

What will I say to her, exactly what words will come out, should I memorize a script? I was suddenly so confused and this immediately started all this internal dialogue, I wasn’t even out of bed yet and it was already a Manic Monday. I got up drove her to her tutoring class and I came home to check emails and BOOM !! Yahoo had an article out on this very subject, I couldn’t believe it.

I would love to share it with all of you….
