Being a mom has been my most important job to date, and I take my job very seriously, and I have a lot of fun doing it.

I don't have slim children. I have hearty ones.

I love my babies so much that I could kiss them all day long..as a job. I could be a professional baby kisser. No joke.

I just saw a guy filling up his gas tank with one hand and smoking with the other. Seriously?

I love what I do and I think it shows. As my kids get older, they can see me as a mom who loves working.

Listen, the obvious thing to remember is without dark, there is no light, and without light, there is no dark.

Maternal health remains a staggering challenge, particularly in the developing world. Globally, a woman dies from complications in childbirth every minute.

It’s not a guy and a girl, or a girl and a girl or a guy and a guy - it’s a relationship.

The end of anything is not fun because there's a nostalgia to it and everything else. Even the end of a bad relationship can feel so, so, so sad.

I'm very active when I'm not pregnant, but I think fitness should be a natural part of your life, not something you have to force yourself to do.

My husband always smells good to me.

When the egoism becomes zero

God, in his infinite wisdom, hid Hell in the middle of Paradise, to keep us on our toes.

When we help others to live peacefully our life unknowingly becomes peaceful.

Travel definitely affects me as a writer.

A great deal of the chaos in the world occurs because people don't appreciate themselves.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.....We must not.....assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.

I've always been taught to completely ignore the camera.

I'm not saying it was your fault. I'm saying it wasn't nice.

I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap.

If I hear something's not quite going right, then I'm there quicker than if I hear something's going wrong.
