What’s your inspiration?

I am inspired by my children. My mother, who even though she is no longer living, inspires me everyday. Tina Fey and my best friend, Lisa.

What’s the one thing you can’t live without?

My iPhone. I know it sounds shallow, but it's the best way for me to stay connected. Not only to my virtual friends and my clients, but also to my real life friends and family. And what would I do if I couldn't play Words with Friends?

What’s your favorite part of being a mom?

All the snuggles and love. They might drive me crazy all day, but when they cuddle up to me and love on me, it makes it all worth it.

What’s the single best piece of advice you can share with other moms?

Chill out. Seriously. We waste so much time worrying. We're doing fine. The kids are all right. Trust in that.
