“I've always thought that if you work really hard at something, you can get it.”

“I'm a true believer that if someone bothers you, you care.”

“I like to think there are a lot of balls in the air, and the kids are not one that I choose to drop. They have been a priority and I have a career that allows for a little more flexibility at times and hours that are quite mom-friendly.”

“I get worried sometimes that people are saying 'Why is she on television - is it because of Survivor?' That people are saying, 'She got here the easy way.' But I have been working hard all these years, and I figured I needed to move forward and embrace it, respect it and perfect it. If I didn't, then everybody would lose.”

“There's always going to be a ball up in the air, and what I try to do is make sure that ball is never the kids. If that means sacrificing a social event or having fewer work commitments, it's worth it.”

“Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful and significantly life-altering events that I have ever experienced.”

“I would like to have three or four kids.”

“I majored in industrial design/painting, but haven't had time to exercise that creativity.”

“There are some days when I think for sure there are so many other stronger Christians than me out there.”

“I tend to absorb a lot of what other people are feeling.”

“To see your spouse in a parental role is one of the most incredible things.”

“I prioritize the things that need to get done at work, and I ask myself where I'm spending the majority of my time. The answer to that question always needs to be 'with my family.'”

“The best Mother's Day gift I ever got was just a full day with the kids where they did their mommy pampering. They cut cucumbers and put them on my eyes and my daughter gave me a facial. I'm not even sure what was in it!”

“I'm not worried about misconception or a perception that's bad. If I were, I'd be chasing something all the time.”

“Nobody's life is ever all balanced. It's a conscious decision to choose your priorities every day.”

“I love Central Park. I feel like I am somewhere else.”

“It's amazing, the mentality shift that occurs in pregnancy. All of a sudden you want to be good to yourself.”

“When I get home from a heavy work day, I make sure I get outside with the kids. I don't think there's any better cure than being active as a family outside.”

“Every day is a learning experience for city kids, and they are really sort of forced to interact with everyone around them and develop into social beings.”

“I do splurge on diaper bags. I have a half dozen in different colors and styles.”
