It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.

I think a good mom is an awake mom. At least for me, I've always been a kinder, better person awake than sleep-deprived!

I don't use simple words. I make games and puzzles with my songs.

If you haven't noticed so far, I think sleep is really important.

With my daughter, we do arts and crafts, we read a lot, we listen to music, and we cut the strings off balloons and bounce them around after birthday parties.

I learn so much from writing with other musicians, asking questions about their playing style and gear, and hanging out, too.

There are many different ways to look at a situation, and it's important to look at things the way they are.
