I absolutely love being a mother.

My mom FedExes a red velvet cake she makes from scratch to me every birthday.

I love meditating and taking some time for myself when I need it. As moms, it's easy to feel guilty about this sort of thing, but it's necessary. If I'm feeling overwhelmed, I'll walk down the beach or just sit in silence and reflect. Even if it's just 10 minutes, every little bit helps.

I've never met a bread basket that I didn't love. At the same time, it can make me tired.

When you work with the same people for 10 years, they become family. Now when I see them - it might not be for nine months - but when I see them, it's great.

I think it's important to come from a humble place.

For an hour every day, I did something. I was on the elliptical or the treadmill, and if someone asked me to go to a class - whether it was spinning, boxing, yoga, you name it - I went. By the end of the month, I felt so good, I just kept going. I didn't want to lose my momentum.
