The issues facing working women and their families are closest to my heart. I decided to focus intently on the challenges military wives face because they juggle the same pressures as their nonmilitary peers, all while coping as single parents while their loved ones are overseas. I wanted to help make their voices heard.

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

Your word is your bond, you do what you say you're going to do.

The problem is when that fun stuff becomes the habit. And I think that's what's happened in our culture. Fast food has become the everyday meal.

Success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete, utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves.
