One of the most important things I'm glad we did and am proud of is that we don't have any real grass on our property. It might not be realistic to ask people to pull out their grass, but we'll never have to think about it. We used Smart Grass, and I think it looks beautiful.
I started running when I was 21 years old and studying in China.
Very often, overweight children have parents who are struggling with weight issues.
Personally, I've always known that I wanted to go back to work because I'm confident, and I'm certain that my daughter will have a better mother in me if I'm doing the things that I'm excited about and that I'm passionate about.
My first job in TV was hosting this young teen magazine show, and all these high school teenagers showed up from all over Sacramento, California, and they chose four of us to host the show, two boys and two girls. And of the two girls, I was kind of the perky smart one and the other girl was the pretty one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
