~As a mom, you have to look at how much time you're spending with your kids. There is nothing you will regret more in your life - nothing - than not being present for your children.~

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.

I'm a disciplinarian. I'm the tough love pet owner. I believe in very well-behaved animals.

To make new friends you have be willing to put in the time.

I barely got out of high school and I look back at my life often and go, "Wow, this was awesome!"

I don't think any woman wants to be known for being beautiful or busty. I think you want to be known for who you are.

I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober.
