Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.

Having children really changes your priorities.

But some people don't appreciate my bossiness.

I am inspired by many people. First and foremost, I'm inspired by my mother. She definitely helped her children to feel unconditional love and I want to be that same kind of mother.

You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs.All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping.

I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.
