one hot mamma

she's 37, has seven kids, runs her own business alongside her husband of 15 years and manages it all while remaining stunningly beautiful and under control: courtney novogratz is a true supermom. if you haven't yet seen the series 9 by design--airing on bravo tuesday nights at 10:00 pm--you haven't caught a glimpse of what could be america's coolest family. not only are we obsessed with the amazing renovations that the couple completes to transform some of manhattan's most dilapidated properties, but we also admire the down-to-earth parenting that keeps their kids (with names like wolfie, breaker and five) relatively grounded while living in a $25 million museum-worthy property. perhaps it's a nod to their southern roots--courtney is from georgia and her husband, robert, grew up in virginia--that the couple is able to put family first and maintain such a laissez faire attitude in the midst of a bustling new york city. with a new book, downtown chic, that is currently available on amazon and a contract with ford modeling agency, the novogratz clan should remain on our radar for quite some time.
