I was a good 30 pounds overweight throughout high school, and it wasn't until I was going away to college that I really wanted to make sure I was doing everything possible to feel as confident as I could.

Don't make a different meal for every person, but make buildable meals. And, I do this with my kids, try to expand their palates gently.

Ultimately, it's how you approach things in life that puts a smile on your face.

I do what I do because my favorite thing is to learn.

Your life shouldn't be anything short of spectacular.

I have two pairs of stretchy maternity leggings and jeans, which I will never give up, because once you experience an elastic band for a waist, you will never go back.
