the gorgeous parenting revolutionary

Raising four kids is full-time work, but Vicki Iovine still finds time to write a monthly column for Child magazine and a bimonthly column for Redbook on marriage and relationships.

She has been featured on Today, Oprah, Good Morning America, and The View.

Iovine also serves on the board of directors of Special Olympics International, and she received the 1995 Florence Crittendon Woman of the Year award in recognition of her work for teenage mothers and for girls with mental retardation in South Central Los Angeles.

Her books are superb.

The mother of two boys and two girls, Iovine lives with her husband, Jimmy Iovine, and children in southern California.
