Constance Marie

“I don't want to treat my little girl like she's made out of glass or wrap her in bubble wrap or anything! And I also don't want to be constantly correcting her or warning her. Or my least favorite, reprimanding her.”

“Motherhood is nitty and gritty and brutal and wonderful, but everything I read is about the wonderful parts. Sometimes, you're really in the trenches!”

“I was a tomboy as a child! I wanted my daughter to be a scrapper and not so dainty.”

“Actually, I failed drama in high school because of nerves. I wasn't able to memorize the words. I had complete stage fright.”

“I started as a mommy blogger, and it's been really great.”

“I get as much sleep as possible. When I get home, I have just enough energy to lay out my clothes and go to bed.”

“As any mother knows, we just want our babies to feel better quickly, and we all do whatever we have to do to help them - no matter how much it inconveniences us or hurts our backs!”

“I am serious about my sleep.”

“I'm very supportive of women getting to a place in life when it's right for them to start a family. It's important for women to take their time to come into their own. I only want to say we might not have as much time as we think we have.”

“If stores and vendors know there is a demand for organic products, they will make them. The more they make, the more the cost comes down.”

“'Wonder Woman' was on TV when I was growing up, and I knew Lynda Carter was part Latina. It gave me a great sense of pride.”

“While you're pregnant, I suggest that you eat like you regularly do. Yes you can eat a little more, but eat healthier for as long as you can.”

“I was 38 years old when we started trying to have a baby. I thought it would be no problem, but the 3 years it took us was the most difficult period of my life.”

“Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.”

“I feel for all the parents whose babies just keep waking up for years. My heart and back go out to you guys! You are my heroes, and I am not fit to walk in your shoes!”

“If Luna Marie is at the park, my child is not happy unless she's on the highest bar of the jungle gym or the tallest branch of a tree or jumping over the biggest, deepest hole.”

“Family to me is foundation. It's the people that you can call on whether you love them or hate them. When push comes to shove, they're there for you, and that's kind of how this family is.”

“After having a baby, there will inevitably be something on your body - a mark, a scar or some loose skin - that wasn't there before.”

“The deaf community and the hearing community, there's not always a ton of interaction.”

“My name is Constance Marie, and I am anti-princess.”
