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.

Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.

Usually, your personality doesn't come out on the cover of Vogue. If the photographer says, "Smile," you smile. You might not be in a good mood that day, but you're smiling anyway.

I am the doctor of our family, and I am a big fan of homeopathy.

But some people don't appreciate my bossiness.

I don't want my daughter to think she has to deprive herself to be pretty...It's all about balance and I can teach that best by living it.

As my mom always said, 'You'd rather have smile lines than frown lines.'
