I always tell my three daughters, it's not about the number on the scale, it's how you feel. You know you are going to feel better if you eat healthier.

I like the creativity of planning a party, or cooking and taking care of people, creating a memorable meal or event.

Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing, let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong... it's Independence Day.

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask It's hard to see the pain behind the mask Bearing the burden of a secret storm Sometimes she wishes she was never born

I grew up in the country surrounded by music.

I make our family traditions a priority.

I obviously love to sing, it's my passion, as is being a mom. Those are the two things that pretty much consume my every day and so I want to keep doing that as long as I can.
