The best compliment I’ve received recently… the other day at the park, someone told me, “Gosh, I see you here all the time.” That made me feel so good, because that’s who I want to be—a hands-on mom. I really pride myself in being present. I’m very involved with my children [Oliver, 19; Jax and Jaid, age 2], and I put so much time, effort, and love into them. My kids are more important to me than my career.

Raising twins…isn’t always easy. They often want to be held at the same time, so while I’m holding one, the other is tugging on me to pick him up. Nighttime feedings with twins…can also be pretty challenging. I’d have both of them up and I would just look at my husband and be like, “There’s a poopy diaper and there’s a feeding. Who do you want?”
