On Second Thought: Episode 3
“I’ve failed as a mother,” I said to Willow in front of Tripp. Why did I say that? Because as much as I try, I’m only one person trying to create a family without a father. I’ve brought a son into the world who won’t know his dad. [Read more...]

Okay, so by now you’ve seen the footage of my argument with the guy in the bar. And by now you know I’m being sued over it. So I probably shouldn’t write much about this encounter right now as my lawyers work on my defense.
I will say this, however. [Read more...]

On Second Thought: Episode One
June 21, 2012 By 120 Comments
So, it’s crazy to see your life unfold on television! Before the premiere of Lifetime’s newest show, “Life’s a Tripp,” I was a little nervous. I’d almost gotten used to the cameras being around back when Mom filmed “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” but this was different. This was my life. And honestly, I sometimes don’t know what my life will hold. After all, I’m only 21 years old. Where will I end up living? What will I end up doing for a job? What sports will Tripp end up loving? Who will I end up marrying? [Read more...]
Why I Did a Reality TV Show
June 20, 2012 By 132 Comments
Welcome new “Life’s a Tripp” fans!
I’m so happy that my new Lifetime reality show called “Life’s a Tripp” has finally debuted! I hope everyone enjoyed it. What did you think?
I’ve heard many of you ask a similar question: why did I decide to do a reality television show? Well, in many ways, I’m just like everyone else. I’m a young woman trying to make my way in this sometimes complicated world. I’m a single mom, I work at a dermatology office, and I’m trying to fix up a house I bought near my parents’ house.
You know my parents? Yes, that’s what makes my life interesting to people. I’m a part of one of America’s most famous – and sometimes controversial – families. [Read more...]

No, Obama Didn’t Eat Him

Thank you so much for all of the concern about my dog Charlie. He was missing from Wednesday morning until Saturday night, and my heart almost broke! Thankfully, Willow and her friends put posters up with her friend’s phone number on them. They also put photos of him on Craigslist. Though Willow’s friend got a few calls about Charlie, the descriptions never matched.
Finally on Saturday the description was exact.
Thank goodness, we got him back!!
Here’s a photo of Charlie with Tripp and Trig. Aren’t they all adorable?

I think it’s a perfect name for a beautiful puppy! Thanks for all the comments!
Why I’m Not on Twitter
June 12, 2012 By 118 Comments
I’m not on Twitter, but my name is definitely mentioned in Tweets. For those of you who have read the comments on posts like “Mr. President, When Should I Expect Your Call?” and “Hail to the Chiefs: Malia and Sasha Obama,” you’re familiar with the hate that is thrown my way. (You know, bullying in the name of tolerance and all.)
However, someone brought Michelle Malkin’s tweet to my attention tonight. She tweeted that it’s Time for a Bristol Palin HateFest on Twitter.
That, my friends, is why I’m not on Twitter. I love talking to you guys on Facebook and on this blog, but that’s as much of an internet presence as I need now. For those of you who are on Twitter, please feel free to tweet out my posts and to spread some love for me there.
You can tell I need it!
UPDATE: Yes, I know she was pointing out the Twitter hate. Thanks, Michelle Malkin for pointing out the liberal hypocrisy! I appreciate your work!
