There's an expression: Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes in trying to be great, you make a mess of things.

I have three kids. I should know how to take care of them.

I take the kids skiing every year, and my husband doesn't always go. The way I grew up, that's very normal. My mom would take us skiing, but my dad hates cold weather.

In my family, Mom can lead the sports activities, no problem! Except football - that, my husband does.

We make them [kids] earn the stuff they want. They're not going to play with their iPad today unless they do their chores.

Success is getting up one more time than you fall down.

I read books more than I go out. As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits. I will choose a night with Somerset Maugham or Russell Banks over a crowded bar any day.
