I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

• I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.
• My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.
• Kids are a huge sacrifice they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.
• I do like change. That's the one thing exciting about me.
• I'm a sappy mom now. I didn't think I would be. I thought I'd be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.
• I'm terrible with my workout regime and following it strictly. I'm terrible with a healthy diet and following it strictly. I'm terrible on the weekends about getting up at reasonable hours and all of those things. But, when it comes to my work and the discipline it takes to get to work on time - I hate unprofessionalism.

• Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.
• I want my family to resemble the family I came from.
• I'm too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!
