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.

Even though I take care of the mom stuff, I've maintained my own individuality with my own projects, and I think our girls see that I'm not just the mom or the wife.

I live a very normal regimented life that focuses on my training and my private life so I squeeze the insane stuff in around that.

I'm very open-minded.

You slam the bottom and either walk away or suck it up and get through it.

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.

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.
