It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.

I don't think balance is ever achieved in the full sense of the word.

Raising children made me determine what I stand for, what I believe in, and who I want to be because, ultimately, I'm who they'll look to as an example.

I'm a mom, so I have to be comfortable. Jeans are a staple - I have way too many in my closet! It's warm in Florida, so I wear jeans and a tank top every day. I love my True Religions, my Rich and Skinny, and Citizens of Humanity. But I also love getting dressed up!

My husband and my children inspire me on a daily basis to be the best wife, mom, and woman I can be.

Personally I'm an advocate for healthy marriages and families and I do a lot of speaking around the country sharing my faith and talking to women's groups, even specifically about marriage.

It wasn't always easy at times, having grown up on television and being in the entertainment industry.
