Growing up, I never heard my parents curse, never. The first time I ever said a curse word was with my sister Kim.

My entire life changed when I became a mother - my priorities, my understanding, appreciation of life, and my relationship with God.

I'm learning to trust other people to do things. My time is limited, and I'd rather be spending it with my kids.

My mom and I had a kids' clothing store called Smooch for six years, and I did all the buying before I even had kids.

I don't take fancy vacations. I buy all my jewelry at Claire's. I can't remember the last time I went out to a fancy dinner. My family lives in a modest two-bedroom apartment, and my kids share a bedroom. But I do have one extravagant vice: shoes.

I say homes are for families, and you have to make sure you design for the family, not just one person: kids, your wife, your grandparents need to be able to use it.

It's not that our family has no taste, it's just that our family's taste is inconsistent.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
