She celebrated the upcoming birth of her third child quietly at a friend’s home in the Brentwood section of LA on Feb. 1, Life & Style has learned.

“It was a lot of moms and very small,” a friend of the star tells Life & Style. “It was just a normal group her friends, but Jen was very excited to see everyone.”

And the mom of Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, didn’t event want gifts!

“She asked that no one give her anything, but she still ended up getting a ton!” the friend adds. “She was thrilled.”

But what’s Jennifer, 39, looking most forward to? Adding to her brood with her husband of six years, Ben Affleck.

“She’s so excited,” the friend tells Life & Style.

“Having a baby fills your life in such a way that no matter what you’re doing, there’s something bigger,” Jen has said about motherhood.

Demi Moore had an seizure Monday night before she was rushed to the hospital and is being treated for anorexia, among other substance abuse issues, Radaronline.com has exclusively learned.

The 49-year-old Ghost star has become frighteningly thin since her split with husband Ashton Kutcher, and a source close to the actress described what happened to her.

“She collapsed after having an epileptic seizure,” the source said about the frightening medical emergency. “She has not taken care of her health at all lately, and has lost a ton of weight.”

In the photos, taken three days before her big announcement, the 25-year-old is glowing and looks spectacular as she sports her eos Strawberry Sorbet Lip Balm.

“We’re so excited for this little bun in the oven,” she tweeted on Jan. 23.

And Jay Cutler, 28, soon to be a first-time dad, echoed that sentiment.

“We couldn’t be more excited,” he tweeted the same day.

Kristin had even discussed the idea of having children one day.

“Well, I really want to have a family someday and be a great mom,” she tweeted in October, one month before she rekindled her engagement with Jay, a star quarterback with the Chicago Bears. “Once I have kids, I want to focus on that and not work.”

The couple got engaged in April but split in July. Ever since reconciling in September, they’ve been inseparable. The two are preparing to marry this summer.

Congratulations!

“While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate,” the couple say in a statement. “We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.”

Even though celebrity divorces hardly ever come as a shock and aren’t rare, it had seemed as if the the two of them had beaten the odds. They seemed so in love to the public eye, and even renewed their vows yearly. They both had an “in love” glow about them.

Seal had stated a while ago that the supermodel was “the one” and in return in an interview at a different time she stated that she didn’t know how she got so lucky.

The now split couple has 3 children together, Henry,6, Johan,5, and Lou,2. Heidi was pregnant with her ex’s child when Seal met and fell in love with her. Last year he officially adopted Heidi’s oldest child Leni, now 7, and considers her one of his own. He has always been in Leni’s life starting with being present at her birth/.

I hope that they will be able to make this as easy for children as possible. Best of luck to the whole family in this hard time.

Hilary Duff’s High Energy Prenatal Piloxing Workout

Some women may take it easy during their last trimester but Hilary Duff isn’t the type to let her workouts slide just because she’s eating for two. The singer-actress may be seven months pregnant but, according to her trainer of eight years, Vivica Jensen, she’s still staying fit with biweekly Piloxing sessions.

     As a stay at home mom I cherish and am thankful for all the time that I get to spend with my two young kids. I have never had to work thanks to my wonderful hard working husband. A couple weeks ago I took on a temporary nanny job for a friend. 8am to 6pm, Monday through Friday. It is a full time job lasting til February. Let me just say that I now have a new appreciation for hard working moms that work full time and do their mommy duties when they get home. It amazes me that a lot of women do this, do it well and don’t go crazy. I truly get a different perspective being on the other side. The working, daily grind, being away from home side. This is something I don’t think I could ever get used to. Being away from the kids and being exhausted is not fun.

Research shows that children that get one on one quality time do better in life. It makes kids happier and healthier knowing that they are loved. They are more confident with themselves and are proud of who they are just because their parents spend time with them. That really makes me think of how much quality time, not quantity time but QUALITY time I spend with my kids. How much time do I spend playing with them, encouraging them, doing art with them, reading to them and making each one of them feel special. As a now temporary working mom, I see how other women can struggle with the fact that they need to do ALL the house duties, cooking, cleaning and laundry on top of all the mommy duties plus running important errands, teacher conference meetings, appointments AND spend one on one time with kids and go out and do fun things with them. Whew, modern day superwomen! That is a whole lot of things that need to get done at the end of the day and weekends. I guess the official working mother’s saying is really so much to do, so little time.

With not getting a lot of time at home, as moms, we need to make all the little things count. Give the kids special time with you after dinner. Talk with them. Ask them how their day was. I think that it is so important to have quality conversations with our children. They will know that they can tell us anything and maybe it can eliminate all these crazy teenagers who won’t open up to their parents. Ok, we can wish upon a star right? I’m definitely not at the teenager stage yet but one day, so no experience and advice here!

Family time does not have to be elaborate or expensive. There are plenty of little things to do and you will be creating long lasting memories. So I encourage all working moms  to take a step back and contemplate the actual time you spend with your kids. Remember it’s the little things that count. So, kiss more, talk more and hug more. Make the most of the time you have. You are doing a great job and I can honestly say you deserve some “me” time too!

Here are ideas for busy parents on how to make the most of the time you have.

Play games or dance as you cook, shop, clean, or take care of pets together

Implement healthy every activites…

• • Sing or listen to music together. Make up silly songs with their names in it.
  • Exercise together.
  • Cuddle together with a good book. Make it a part of your everyday routine, perhaps each night before bed.
  • Do arts and crafts together and hang their art on the fridge or wall for them to show off.
  • Rent a special kids movie for them and eat snacks and laugh together.
  • Let them help you make dinner or bake cookies. They love to stir!
• Sit down next to your child to pay the bills, and go through the mail as they play next to you.
• Limit TV time. Some TV time together might be worthwhile in strengthening families, but there are better ways families could be spending time together.
• Plan to use car travel time as a special “together time.”
• Sing together.
• Talk about your day and ask your child to talk about hers.
• Tell stories about your childhood.
• Have children tell you a story; identify colors, shapes, or objects along the road.
• Plan a special night where the children get to pick an activity of their choice.
• Give your children a responsibility in the grocery store. Ask them to:
• Match the coupons with the labels.
• Point out or find where the items are.
• Play games such as “I see something” and have the children guess what you see.
• Along with a goodnight hug and kiss, tell your child how much you appreciate all the good things he did that day. Be specific

  There are so many little things to do together!  Don’t feel quilty for the time that you don’t have but make the most of what you do have. Also, if you are a stay at home mom make sure you appreciate how hard your husband works so you are able to have special time with the kids all the time. You are blessed! As, for me I know I do appreciate my husband more after working this temporary job and I can’t wait til my life as a stay at home mommy goes back to normal.
