Do you ever wonder how celebrities manage their strenuous and time consuming careers while also caring for their children? It’s hectic for the most part but experts say that being able to laugh at your children and yourself is a major part of being a great parent. Kelly Ripa, co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly has managed to do just that. Maintaining a strong family while giving up portions of her day to entertain the public with her comedic takes on raising children has set her aside from others in her industry. And, it all began a mere fifteen years ago when she and long-time hubby Mark Consuelos wed. One year later in 1997 Kelly gave birth to the couples first child, Michael, and they both agreed that they wished they had been given instructions to take home from the hospital that day. Now, Kelly is a pro at being a great mom. With 3 children; Michael, Lola and Joaquin, Ripa has learned how to survive the toughest of times and make even the worst situations, humorous.
