At restaurants, I carry paper and markers and tell everyone to draw a picture with a unicorn, an octopus and an explosion. That keeps them [kids] still for a minute.
People are so easily impressed by running, but I run pretty frequently.
I never had furniture. I had four knives, forks and cups. I had one of those bachelor sets you get at Ikea. One little pot, for years,
He met me when I was doing 'Ed,' so he adjusted to that schedule.
I met Clinton at a benefit for teachers, which was a very good charity, but I met him for about 90 seconds, and I thought it was important to meet the leader of the free world. So I stood next to him for a photograph, and then apparently that's all it takes.
Immaculate conception is the only way another kid is coming out of me!
It was harder to get my driver's license than to get pregnant and give birth.
My husband is very funny and his humor has gotten us through a lot. He's good at defusing me.
Everyone [of my kids] can ride a bike now, so the park has had a big resurgence in our life. We also play a lot of dumb drawing games.
I use an app called ChoreMonster. The kids earn points for brushing teeth or picking up the dog poop. It's genius.
I tell my kids, "Look, your life is a video game, and I have to get you from level zero to 18 as an independent person with all your skills and limbs intact. Every time you hit your brother or throw food, you're taking us all back."

We make them [kids] earn the stuff they want. They're not going to play with their iPad today unless they do their chores.
I have this fancy Givenchy bag. I don't know what the Kardashians have in their bags - I bet they have really expensive products or six cellphones or something. I have a cellphone and some lipstick for me, and the rest is just filled with stuff for the kids - sunscreen and lip balm and little Ziploc bags of pretzels and cheese sticks.
