What’s her inspiration?
Lately it's been in observing more quiet in my life, and noticing what makes people human, the hidden beauty in something often un-noticed, the things that aren't obvious, but are- in the end- most important.
What’s the one thing she can’t live without?
Hmm... materially, probably the Internet. Physically? My children.
What’s her favorite part of being a mom?
I just love my children SO much it hurts. I enjoy watching my children develop into themselves, with personalities and style and tastes. Each one is so different. I love that I play such a huge part in all of it.
What’s the single best piece of advice she can share with other moms?
Go with your gut. Throw out the parenting books and advice from all your friends. No two Moms are alike. Do what is best for you, and do the best you can with it.
