Q: How do you balance work and motherhood?

A: One of the greatest challenges a woman can face is to balance work and family. I'm so fortunate because my office is at home. This means I dash out for meetings and appearances but I can always run home to feed Bryn, pump or get in a snuggle.

Love distribution is the biggest challenge. Bryn, Jason and Cookie all need love and somehow I feel like I'm the heart of the whole love operation. I'm a strong force, so when I'm out of whack, the dynamic is as well. Sleep is the most important commodity. With it, I can manage everything.

Q: How do you keep the celebrity limelight out of your home life?

A: Simply put: I either work or stay home in pajamas. Jason and I lay around watching TV and cooking, so we have two drastically different sides to our existence. Mexican food with margaritas is our idea of an outing.

Q: How is Jason adjusting to fatherhood?

A: Jason is an excellent partner and truly a devoted father. He does equal to or more than I do. I really chose the right teammate.

Q:  Keep on talking about your new knowledge of bringing up Bryn because we are living it vicariously through you. We can say to ourselves, “oh, yeah! been there done that! Through your humor, we are reliving it.

A: It is so true that many people have been through motherhood, but it truly is a rite of passage and everyone's opinion is a new, enlightening perspective. I look to my fans to get me through every new challenge I face.
