The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.

Modern women - we're very good at keeping ourselves busy. There are PTA meetings, exercising, bake sales at school. I like that my life is not the same every day.

Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.

I don't have to try to be perfect at everything.

The body I had at 21, God gave me. The body I have at 31, is one I worked for.

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.

The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.
