I'm not militant about anything. If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some. If I'm in the mood for something, I'll have it. I don't obsess about anything. I could have three or four "cheat days" in a week and then not have dessert for another three months.

If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some.

If I feel any sort of emotional upheaval, I go for a jog and I feel better.

I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise.

I always remind my kids, "I'm your parent, but I'm a human being, too, so I may not be perfect."

There's no real manual on being a parent. There's no real manual on being a wife. I keep reminding myself, My mother did all this, only she never got to leave the house. OK, I can do this. We're all learning on our own learning curve.

I had a picture-perfect childhood.
