I started working in television quite young, actually, and I definitely felt very insecure about what I looked like.
At the end of the day, TV is supposed to be entertaining. But it's important for me that there's some take-away value from it.
I think that's something people need to convey because you see all these celebrity moms out there, and the perception is they can do it all, but they have sooo much help. And it's kind of an unfair image to project for many women, because it is really hard, and if you have help, you should indicate you have help.
There are so many factors to lead to a child becoming obese.
We are such a product of our upbringing and environment.
When you take the time to understand why your parents did the things they did, you stand a good chance of learning more about your own behavior.
Parents are working more than ever before and unable to monitor what kids are eating at home, and schools are selling astronomical amounts of junk food in order to supplement shrinking budgets. It's a ticking time bomb, and America's children are exploding.
I used to be so twig skinny that I couldn't eat enough, because I was just naturally skinny. Until I went to China.
I am a crazy online shopper. My husband always jokes, 'Another box arrived!' Airplanes used to be my sanctuary for reading books, but now I have to peruse Gilt sales.
We live in a culture where we're bombarded with so much noise and so much insecurity.
We're doing a partial green nursery and trying as hard as we can to do as much organic stuff for our nursery as we can.
People are starting to know more about it, but I was blown away by Almaty, Kazakhstan. It's like a future Swiss Alps. It has the potential to be an extraordinary ski resort. It is a city with beautiful mountain scapes.
I don't remember my first trip, but I do remember when my mom took me to Disney World in Orlando. It wasn't the rides but Epcot Center that most fascinated me. It made me want to see those countries that are represented there for real.
