Ali Fedotowsky & Kevin Manno - Bachelorette 6 - Discussion

@sosleepy LOL good observation I do think it may be the women the mag editor thought would sell the most magazines that got to be on the cover imo Ashley was blond when she was on the show but went back to her natural hair afterward.
I imagine all the women got the same paycheck regardless of who's on the cover.

I think Emily is the most obvious cover candidate due to how big her story was with Ricky and Ricki and then Brad. I think the other feature spot could've gone to Ali or Ashley, if I had to pick only two, with Des definitely in a close third.

Personally I think a photo featuring all of them equally would've had more of a visual impact, like the smaller pic below, but I assume they know what sells issues. So they chose the two they figured most casual Bach viewers would recognize and think "oh hey, I wonder who the daddy is, better toss it in the cart."

I think Cat and Samuel should've been invited because one more mom/baby set would've been even more fun (crazy how many of them have babies right now) but I get this story was about the Bette leads. Maybe those two have a pic and blurb within the article.

It just really stuck out to me that out of all those Bachelorette leads (add in Kaitlyn, Andi, and JoJo) they are ALL Brunette, but the two lone blondes got featured.

I don't think they're on the cover because they're blonde, sosleepy. They seem to be the most well known of the group so it makes sense imo. Ali is very active doing hosting gigs and her blog & SM plus she used to be on E News. Emily is probably the most known Bachelorette going into her show and she has the sad backstory that includes a Nascar driver.

I'm so happy that Ali is doing so well. I watched when she co-hosted Home & Family and she did a great job. She's also very happily married with an adorable baby girl. Life is good.

Has anyone here done sleep training with their child?  Did it work for you?

Ali's writing style is very good and engaging, unlike Jill's. **IMO**

My daughter would like to think it did for my grandson- I have other opinions.
I expect that is a generational POV. Keep in mind I have overnight weekly or more.

Ha! I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the money.

They read books on the subject. Are there seminars etc that actually cost?
All I know is my now 3+yr old behaves quite nicely for me. And has always gone to sleep quite nicely and timely. However, I am very chill.
He is uber monster for his parents. He has had sleeping issues with his 'rents from day one. Mucho investments were made with all kinds of devices, etc. In all fairness he had horrible reflux until 15 mos. and can be difficult and is a ball of energy.

Ali posted her wedding video on her blog. It was beautiful, a real tear jerker.

@bleuberry Thanks for posting! Her vows were so sweet as was his. Looks like a fun time was had by all! Loved her gowns, and the one she changed into later was different and looked great on her. Molly was adorable in her wagon. Beautiful wedding!

I was just checking to see if you'd seen the video. What a beautiful wedding! The thing I loved most was how they enjoyed every last thing and it was so nice to see how much Ali & Kevin love each other and their adorable baby, Molly.

Sleep training is very uncommon here in Germany. Babies usually sleep in the same room as their parents for a long time before going to their own room (sometimes 2,3 years) so it's harder to sleep train that way. I also read Ali's blog post on that, but quickly decided that's definitely something we won't be trying. I'd rather get up 1000 times than leave my baby to cry. But that's just my POV of course. Whatever works for one family doesn't work for another.
