I used to be a free spirit.

I was always trying to find the balance between trying my best and being an incredible parent. I literally realized that it was chaos - but it was happy chaos.

I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.

I love social media and the ability to connect to new people through Twitter and Facebook and share my real time experiences with my mommy network.

My mom always made sure I lived my life as a regular kid.

I think that's one of the most important gifts we have in television - the ability to heal through laughter.

We can all become activists and raise questions.
