New fun blooper reel up for Season One of The Bay! http://www.blip.tv/file/4725781

The last month has brought many highs and several lows. Some that are hard to wrap my head around. On the high, my kids were all home for about a month and now that they are adults or close to, we can really enjoy the “people” they have become. We had numerous meals out, laughing and sharing stories…such a delight. Our two older children were just happy to hang out with us, which was very sweet. My oldest son, at

Mary Beth will be doing a chat for The Salem Gazette on Wednesday, February 2nd at 9PM Eastern time.  http://www.chatzy.com/630496002396

Dear,  Jane, Debra, Jayne, Anne, Carole, Georgene, Fiona, Lynn, Maddy, Judy, Mandy, Stephanie, Kristen, Terry, Rachel, Becky, Erica,  Phyllis, Sue, Sandra, Cheryl, John, Kathy, Betty, Hilary, Jessica and Sherry. You are all truly amazing!  I am sorry it has taken me so long to get a note out to you all…We have been away in the mountains of Colorado.  Most of the time we had no internet and half the time no cell service.  The biggest deal though was and is, all my kids

“MALIBU—In our second part to Mary Beth Evans’s exclusive interview, the beautiful self-proclaimed beach girl discusses her work on the hit internet sensation “The Bay.” I caught up with the popular and talented star while she was on her way to the Rocky Mountains for the Christmas holiday. Mary Beth and I joked about her being too young to be a matriarch on a show like “The Bay.” “Initially it was a bit jarring, but then I read the script.

“I can’t believe another year has gone by. It seems like yesterday I was sharing last year’s holiday adventures with all of you. Crazy! All of my kids are older and my two oldest live away from home so the holidays are a great time for us to be together. It is so fun for me to decorate the house, have a fire going and something great smelling baking in the oven for their return. It felt so warm and

“It is so funny how things are now. My kids are coming home from far away places to gather for the holidays…Geez it seems to happen so fast that we as parents are sitting on “the other side.”  Just this week we heard our youngest son got into college and then… that’s that for pete sake….empty nest is around the corner. What happened to my babies? Of course we all know what blood, sweat and tears goes into raising our children, but

“As you may or may not know, my husband and I have raised our children Jewish. I was not raised Jewish and actually had little knowledge of the faith, customs or heritage. Not to mention the FOODS of the holidays. As the years passed I learned a lot alongside our children. I cannot read from the Torah like my kids but I can make a mean brisket and an even better Kugel.  I could write about so many things I

“As far back as I can remember my mother would fix things herself. A hammer and a screwdriver and she was ready to go.  I have always felt I could do things myself as well. I have painted all the rooms in my house myself, l planted all my plants and am constantly moving things around. My oldest son Danny would often ask me when I had commandeered him to help me move things around, “couldn’t you pick a hobby that didn’t

“This past weekend 9 women gathered in Colorado from around the country to celebrate my best friend Carrie’s “landmark” birthday. One from New York, one from Boston, one from Louisville, one from Colorado and five from southern California. Some of us had met before, some had not. What an amazing time we all had. It’s a true testament to her that she has so many friends that are all so kind and generous in spirit. We hiked some amazingly beautiful

“As the final year of high school for my youngest child is in full swing I am trying to absorb all there is in front of me and savor the moments.  I go to all his games and try to always be home when he comes home from school…..”  http://www.hybridmom.com/blog/

Mary Beth’s last airdate on Days of Our Lives is November 3rd when Kayla gets a call that Steve is ill in Africa.  This is after her mom, Caroline “revels a doozy of a secret to Kayla.”   Look for her to return soon.  Mary Beth is already at Days filming!

“We’ve come to an interesting place in society that I can’t help but take notice of. With the advancement of technology has come the regression of human to human contact. Why call when you can text right? Wrong. There is a whole generation of kids who can barely look up from their cell phones long enough to look someone in the eye and say hello, let alone have meaningful human to human interaction. It’s even seeping into the older generations…everyone

“It’s not often in all of our busy lives that we really step outside of our “boxes” and experience new things. Last month my husband and I got the opportunity to do just that when some friends of ours generously took us on a trip to Bora Bora. They have a boat moored there and they go monthly (nice I know). It was beyond fabulous and I got to experience so many new and exciting things. There was a chef

“I think all of us from time to time get paralyzed when it comes to accomplishing things in our lives.  I’ll get this weird wrecking ball on my lap feeling, almost a little scared.  I procrastinate FOREVER!  It’s amazing how much I can putter around my house doing everything but what I need to.  What begins as a little procrastination can turn into a vicious cycle of not getting anything done…..” http://www.hybridmom.com/blog/?p=4229

Mary Beth’s episode of Criminal Minds will air a week early.  It will be shown on Wednesday, October 6th at 9pm Eastern on CBS.
