Nashville was totally different than I ever dreamed. I had only seen the music business on television and been to a couple of concerts. I had no clue.

The minute you walk through the door and your kid runs into your arms, you're smacked in the face with a dose of reality: It's like, this is my real life.

Children are easily influenced, and I always want to do things I can be proud to show my kids someday.

I'm a home girl. I like to stay home

All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, waking up in someone else's dream.

I try to find a reason to laugh each day. Somehow, if you can incorporate laughter into your day, every day, it really helps. It's the little things in life that make me happy.
