I'm lucky that I have such a hands on husband.

I make lots of casseroles that have protein, veggies, carbs and good fats all together.

I'm so blessed to have as many jobs that I have, but I do agree that there needs to be some downtime.

I want to be a cool mom.

There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.

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 love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will, but I'd rather have a complicated, misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

You know, you only get one family, and you have to make it work.

I'm never as happy as when I'm pregnant. I literally would have 10 babies if I could!

Sometimes I do envision just being a stay at home mom but not working isn't an option for me currently.

I look at Liv Tyler and think 'It's not fair', because I can't find a flaw on her. And on top of that she seems nice, so it's really not fair.

Everyone who dies out there dies of confusion.

Reasonable men adapt to the world around them unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men.

As a writer one has to take the chance on being a fool.

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner, there ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

There are those who, while reading a book, recall, compare, conjure up emotions from other, previous readings. This is one of the most delicate forms of adultery.

Is there a mechanism of death, that so mutilates existence no one, gets over it not even the dead?

I get dumber as the day goes along. Every second of the day that goes along, I get stupider.

Prayer is more than words. It's listening, seeing and feeling.

Every one of us is more beloved than we can possibly understand or imagine. Let us therefore be kinder to one another and kinder to ourselves.

For those who can do it and who keep their nerve, writing for a living still beats most real, grown-up jobs hands down.
