We're excited to announce that, for the month of September, reality TV star Bethenny Frankel joins our regular Mommaloguers cast to share her what it's like being a mom as well as how she balances her celebrity life with quality, everyday family time.
We're also excited to announce that Bethenny's new, completely adorable book goes on sale today. Cookie Meets Peanut is a story inspired by her own life about two siblings — a new baby and one diva dog.
Cookie the dog is Mommy's Furry Baby, and everything is just the way Cookie likes it, until one day when Mommy comes home with a real baby! Little "Peanut" is suddenly getting all the attention, and Cookie gets left behind. As Peanut gets older, Cookie is forced to make room in her doggy life for the little girl. After throwing Mommy a tea party, Cookie and Peanut realize they can have a lot of fun together. Cookie is a furry big sister now!
From a natural foods chef to bestselling author, reality TV star to self-made businesswoman and mom, Bethenny Frankel's wit, wisdom and humor first came to national attention when she was named first runner-up on NBC's The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. Network executives saw a personality they couldn't ignore and her connection to the audience, so they put her center stage on Bravo's hit series The Real Housewives of New York for three seasons. She emerged as the star of the series, with a huge network of fans, which led Bravo to create a spinoff series, Bethenny Getting Married?, which premiered with the highest ratings ever in Bravo history and continued with Bethenny Ever After, which aired for two seasons.
She is the four-time bestselling author of Skinnydipping, A Place of Yes, Naturally Thin and The Skinnygirl Dish. She is the creator of the Skinnygirl brand — which extends to cocktails, fitness and health and focuses on practical solutions for women. She has been named one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities by Forbes magazine, featured in both Health magazine and Glamour. She is a graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health & Culinary Arts. Bethenny lives in New York with her daughter, Bryn, and dog, Cookie.
