Just smiling at someone walking down the street can make the person's day. It's all about paying it forward.

It's very difficult leaving the house anytime with my baby at home.

If I eat clean, I look 10 years younger.

When I was pregnant, I was so huge and people on the bus would get up for me. That made me feel so precious and valued and valuable. I try to treat everyone like they're pregnant.

When my body is strong, I feel stronger inside. I feel more capable of handling emotional situations. Usually I'm more of a inside-out person, but this was a great case of me from the outside in.

Yes. I did more research than I ever wanted to and saw some things I wish I didn't. I went on ride-alongs, spent time with Homicide, Cold Case, and SVU detectives, hung out in subways learning how to spot pervs and pick-pockets, viewed an autopsy, went to a police firing range, and witnessed court cases and I read, read, read.

I wasn't at all trying to be skinny, My Mom is Jayne Mansfield, I'm allowed to have curves.
