All it takes is a little Chinese food and you'll have Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' 3 kids eating out of the palm of your hand. Good to know...you know, in case they ever ask me to come over and babysit for them or something. :P

If you offer my kids free chopsticks, they will do anything. They will clean their room—they will clean your room if you say, ‘I have a fortune cookie for you.’

As for Mark and Kelly, they try their hardest to be hands on parents and Kelly enjoys the soccer practice/piano lesson/everything else under the sun shuffle.

"My day is my own. It’s a great life. I want to take my kids to their things. I want to see that."

Mark definitely does his share.

“He’s very involved,” says Kelly. “I’d say we’re 50/50, more so than most couples. He’s good with consistency. He has far more patience than I have. If the kids look at me and say, ‘I don’t want to make my bed today, help me,’ I’ll help them. Whereas he’s like, ‘That’s your responsibility, your room, and you have to pick it up.’ ”

When asked if she has help, Kelly says,

“Oh yeah, of course!” she says. “Oh my god, you need it, especially with three kids. I am amazed that my mom never had a babysitter, ever.”

But she doesn't have an army of nannies like some A-listers.

It’s just one person pitching in every day, running errands like bringing a forgotten lunch to school. “I don’t expect anyone to do my parenting for me,” she says adamantly.

The gorgeous Kelly Ripa and her handsome husband Mark Consuelos arrived to the New York premiere of, "Fly Me To The Moon" last night looking amazing. I love a dress that shows off a great pair of shoulders and some back. What do you guys think of Kelly's dress, hair, and make-up?

I was supposed to attend this premiere but my husband hurt his back and was unable to care for the children. Nothing I could do at that point. Looks like a really cute movie.

That show gets all the guests! Boy - I'm sure agents all around town are vying to have their roster do a walk on for Ugly Betty. It's the IN thing to do this season. Kelly Ripa's HOTTIE husband Mark Consuelos is next on their list. The cast is keeping VERY quiet about Mark's role. They won't even say what actors he is filming alongside! But it does promise to be a major storyline. OOH! I like the suspense.

Kelly Ripa was joined by hundreds of women and her husband Mark Consuelos for the High- Heel-A-Thon to benefit March of Dimes which was filmed for her show. I love that all the women, including a few men, were there to support a good cause and have a fun time running in high heels and laughing. I for one have to admit I'm a pretty fast runner in heels, although I won't lie and say it's comfortable. :)

Boy! Aren't we seeing a lot of Kelly Ripa these days. I wonder why the paps suddenly found an interest in her?

Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos and their three children enjoyed the afternoon walking their dog in SoHo yesterday. This has to be one of my favorite celebrity families and I'm glad things seem to be going so well for them.

HOT!!

Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos enjoyed a romantic lunch on the patio of Pastis restaurant. The two kissed and fed each other before heading out on Mark's scooter. They still really love one another and that is so nice to see.

Kelly on Mark: "I've had a crush on my husband since the day I met him and I'm so pleased that I still do after all these years. The fact is, I'm very content in my marriage. We argue, but we know how to compromise, and that is really nice. When we fight, no one really ever wins. It's not like one of us is living the other's lifestyle--we're living our lifestyle."
Mark on why he married Kelly: "She's pretty much fulfilled all of my requirements and then some. You've gotta be smart, have beautiful eyes, be funny. You've gotta be adventurous and a challenge. She's all of those things. And beautiful. And sexy. Let me just put it this way: I married way above my station."
