Even if I'm gone all day, breakfast is the one meal I always cook for my kids. I make French toast, oatmeal, or an egg burrito.

I'm very open-minded.

I think sometimes when I go to make a move on something, people try to disqualify any talent that I have or any hard work that I've done.

The HoneyLine is my web site and TV segments that were birthed out of the stark reality that we all need a few people to help navigate this life.

In Hawaii, if you're invited to dinner, it's assumed that the children are invited as well. On the islands, no one treats children like they're not part of the conversation. People talk to children as people and include them in adventures and conversations.

We've figured out our roles: I wanted someone to take care of the male roles - the big stuff - and Laird [Hamilton] does that very well. I'm here to be the mom and make it better for him, and that's my choice.

Work travel for me, which is - I hate to say it - more enjoyable now that I have kids.
