I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'

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.

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

I've always found that beauty and confidence are synonymous. If you feel confident, that's what people see.

I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I.

It's important for moms to have alone time. However, that's the first thing that goes on a busy day. Fortunately for me, because of my job, I have to find the time to do it. At least that's the way my mind sees it.

I believe that at least 70 percent of parenting goes to the mother. In our house, I'm the one who knows about all the school stuff, helps with the homework, organizes the play dates, and remembers the birthday parties.
