So we know that it's not enough for us to simply encourage more people to study abroad. We also need to make sure that they can actually afford it.
We have to make sure that our kids still feel good about themselves no matter what their weight, no matter how they feel. We need to make sure that our kids know that we love them no matter who they are, what they look like, what they're eating.
We need to support Mary Burke for Governor!
I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.
Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves,
We all need to start making some changes to how our families eat. Now, everyone loves a good Sunday dinner. Me included. And there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is when we eat Sunday dinner Monday through Saturday.
I'm not a big fan of young kids having Facebook. It's not something they need. It's not necessary.
To be a good parent, you need to take care of yourself so that you can have the physical and emotional energy to take care of your family.
I can't play soccer, and I'm not a great swimmer. I won't drown, but you won't see me doing laps in a pool.

When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised; or if I didn't exercise and just watched what I ate, I'd maintain. Now I have to do both.
I try to tell young people to get in shape now, because it's easier. If you're 30 and want to drop 10 pounds, all you have to do is just walk.
I know what makes me happy. I pick the clothes that make me happy - sometimes people like them, sometimes they don't. I try to listen to my own internal guide.
