I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze.

I want to be a cool mom.

My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together.

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time worrying about how big I was getting and how I would lose it afterwards.

I've been a target my entire life. At this point, there's nothing anyone can say that will faze me. Bring it on!

I have a really, really strong work ethic and I learned that from my dad because my dad was a workaholic but he always had even more time for us. As hard as he would work, he always made the time. So it's just about balancing family, I think, and work - and giving everything 100%. And that's what he taught me.

If I ever had the time to take on another job, being a party planner would be high on my list.
