"Antiques Roadshow" is my favorite show. Every Monday night I have one hour of appointment television. I get the popcorn out and tell my husband, "don't bother me."

I think the reason I love "Antiques Roadshow" is that it is sort of like the lottery. There's the chance a regular Joe could walk in with anything and come out close to a millionaire. There's the thrill of the find.

A mom has to be ready for anything.

Being on TV is similar to being an athlete. You get no second chances.

I love going to tag sales, to auctions.

I always recommend rewiring vintage lighting. It's not a bargain if your house burns down.

If my daughter has a bad dream and wants to get into my bed, I'm a sucker for her sweet face and warm body next to mine, so I let her jump in. I should tell her to go to bed, but secretly I love it.
