Marissa Jaret Winokur was on hand today to launch the ‘Take A Stand‘ campaign.  Luvs diapers is rallying moms nation wide to ask moms to take a stand against paying too much on everyday items such as diapers. Marrissa is supporting the launch by headlining the tour this week and premiering several never-seen-before video clips at LuvsDiapers.com.

“Being a mom to my one-year-old toddler, Zev, is my favorite job, but it’s also important to me to give back and stand together with moms who demand more for their families’ hard earned dollars,” said Winokur. “By leading the ‘Take A Stand’ movement for Luvs, I hope to inspire moms to take a stand on all the many topics we care about as moms, including not having to paying too much for everyday items like diapers.”

Diapers are crazy to buy these days. I buy ones for my son to wear at night and that is enough for me.  I’m glad that Marissa can bring the awareness out.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Talks Mommy Time

September 7th, 2009 Taylor Blue Posted in Celebrity Dads, Celebrity Kids, Marissa Jaret Winokur No Comments »

Marissa Jaret Winokur and Family

Marissa Jaret Winokur has everything right in her world. Husband, Judah Miller and son, Zev, 13 months. And tonight her show, the Dance Your Ass Off reunion premieres on Oxygen. Marissa recently talked to OK! magazine about mommy time, Zev and losing weight. Here are the highlights:

On her mommy time with Zev: “I love swimming with him. I love going in the pool with him, where no one can call me. I can’t answer the cellphone, and I can’t get an e-mail. It’s really, really good private time where nothing can get in my way of just being alone with him. There’s nothing too important – because when you’re in the pool, you have to give 100% attention.”

On how Zev has changed her life: “Oh, 100%. I don’t remember what I did after 6:00, ever. I’m like ‘what did I do? What did I used to do?’ because he goes to sleep, and I’m home with him asleep, and I’m like ‘what did I used to do then?’ I don’t remember what it was like. It’s so hard juggling a baby and work.”

On trying to lose weight and snacking: “I want to snack all the time. I like snacking. I like yummy food, and my husband eats whatever he wants, and he’s skinny, tall and handsome. He can eat whatever he wants. It’s hard because he’ll eat cookies, and I’m like [sarcastic] ‘great, let me enjoy this yummy salad.’ It’s no fun. It’s totally no fun.”

“He’s really good because he could care less whether I gain weight or lose weight. He’s been with me skinny, he’s been with me fat, he’s been with me forever. He’ll pick better restaurants. Rather than going to a restaurant that has burgers and fries, he’ll be like ‘let’s go get sushi.’ But he’ll also say ‘I want you to do whatever you want to do. If you want a bite of my cookie, have a bite of my cookie.’ He’s not going to be the policeman, so he’s good about keeping me healthy in my brain, He’s my number-one supporter.”

That helps a tonne when you are trying to lose weight and you have that support.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Dishes About Being A Working Mom

June 29th, 2009 Taylor Blue Posted in Celebrity Kids, Marissa Jaret Winokur No Comments »

Marissa Jaret Winokur

Marissa Jaret Winokur was at Planet Hollywood today for her hand print ceremony. I wish that I have been to that place so I can understand what they do with those hand prints. Marissa has been keeping busy by being a mom to Zev and hosting the TV show, Dance Your Ass Off. Where you literally dance your weight off.

Marissa recently had an interview with iVillage where she talked about balancing being a mom and working at the same time.

This was probably the perfect show for me as a new mom, because being the host meant that I didn’t have to put in 18-hour days. For the contestants it was, but for me it wasn’t. Every Tuesday, and I would go by and visit the contestants. But it wasn’t an 18-hour shoot like I’ve [done before]. I couldn’t have done Dancing With The Stars as a new mom. So this job was the perfect job. And on show days, much to everybody’s chagrin, I would bring my son with me. And he would watch the dances, and he would totally kick and scream, and love it. He was crazy! He loved the music. He loved the lights. He loved it all. So for me, this was a perfect job. I applaud every working mother out there. It’s such a hard balance. If you’re at work, you feel torn because you want to be home with your son. But when you’re at home, you’re like, “Oh, I need to be working to provide for my family.” It’s a very, very hard job.

I know that is one of the things that so many moms struggle with. I work at home so then I can be with the kids, but still work.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Introduces Baby Zev

October 3rd, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Celebrity Dads, Celebrity Kids, Marissa Jaret Winokur No Comments »

Marissa Jaret Winokur and husband, Judah Miller, welcomed baby, Zev Issac, at the end of July and now we finally get to see what he looks like!

“My friends don’t want to come over anymore because all I do is cry,” says Marissa.

Zev, is a miracle baby to her and her husband because of the cervical cancer she had. Marissa had to have her uterus and cervix removed because of the cancer but she still had her ovaries so with the help of a surrogate Zev was created.

“I was as involved as I could be with the baby. I went to all the doctor’s appointments and I talked to my surrogate every day. [We were in the delivery room] breathing together during the 12-hour labor. It was a real family event. We will be friends forever.”

Marissa describes Zev as perfect and already at ten weeks sleeps through the night. (He’s been sleeping through the night since three weeks.) When the baby cries, Marissa already knows how to handle it…

“I have a saying: ‘When in doubt, take him out.’ He loves the water. I love giving him a bath in the sink. I can’t wait until I can take him in the pool.”

Marissa also feels that Zev is a blessing from the cancer she suffered.

“If I didn’t have cancer, I might have been able to carry a baby myself. But then, I wouldn’t have this baby. So how can I ever feel bad about having cancer? Because of that, I now have Zev.”

I love her outlook at life. She is just always smiling…Congratulations go out to Marissa and Judah, he is such a dream!

Marissa Jaret Winokur Welcomes A Boy

July 24th, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Baby Names, Celeb Births, Celebrity Dads, It's A Boy, Marissa Jaret Winokur 1 Comment »

Marissa Jaret Winokur, from Dancing with the Stars, and husband, Judah Miller, welcomed their baby boy, Zev Issac Miller, on Tuesday. Zev was carried to term by a surrogate.

“He is so perfect. My little miracle baby is here, and I can’t believe it,” Marissa says.

Zev (who’s name means ‘wolf’ in Hebrew) weighed 8 lbs., 7 oz. and measured 21 inches long.

Who does he look like?

“I’d say he’s got a Winokur face and a Miller body,” says Winokur.

Zev is a miracle for Marissa and her husband. Marissa was diagnosed with cervical cancer seven years ago, and because of that, she needed to have a hysterectomy. Her ovaries were saved and her eggs were used for Zev.

“One minute I’m totally fine, and the next minute I’m overwhelmed with emotion,” a teary-eyed Winokur said. “I can’t believe I am sitting here next to my baby. This is the one thing that’s been missing from our lives. Now our house is really going to be a home.”

A special congratulations goes out to Marissa and Judah. I can’t wait to see the baby!

Marissa Jaret Winokur Prepares For Her Son

June 14th, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Celebrity Dads, Expecting, Marissa Jaret Winokur No Comments »

Marissa Jaret Winokur and husband, Judah Miller, have been getting busy for the July 22 birth of their son, Zev.

“I said to my husband, I’m like, ‘You thought you were gonna get away with not living with a pregnant woman’ but I’m the most hormonal — like every commercial makes me cry,” she said. “I’m like, oh my god, we’re having a baby!”

“I’m like so emotional and I’m like, ‘I just want everything to be perfect and done,’ and it’s like, it will never be perfect and it will never be all done,” she [said].

Marissa says her surrogate that she met through an agency, will ‘forever’ be in their lives.

“She’s, right now, my closest friend,” Winokur said. “I love that I have one best friend that I can always talk to … and she’ll never get sick of it, whereas my other friends might be like, ‘All right, we know: the baby’s coming, you’re totally stressed, we get it.’”
