I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.

As a mom I understand how important it is to ensure kids start their day right and always make sure my kids have a nutritious breakfast. One in five U.S. children live in homes where food is not always available which is why I partnered with Kellogg's on their 'Share Your Breakfast' campaign which provide breakfasts to kids in need.

When you're a mom and you have three children nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.

I love kids and children and I love being a mom.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in children and teaching and writing.

I always wanted to be a young mom but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.

There is nothing better than being a parent. It is the most challenging job one could ever ask for. I love being a mom and I love being a friend to my children as well.

I was thinking that when I have children that I should always dress as a character for them so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!

I always knew I wanted kids but when my mom passed away I was like 'I want a bunch of kids. I want three kids or four kids and I want to have that relationship again.' I can't bring my mom back but I can have children.

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth bluntly directly and without much varnish. I am her son.

As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.

When you are getting ready to become a mom being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name.

Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother.

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning not the result of ignorance or accident its children will become the foundation of a new race.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

The production of children the nurture of those born and the daily life of men of these matters woman is visibly the cause.

Even if society dictates that men and women should behave in certain ways it is fathers and mothers who teach those ways to children not just in the words they say but in the lives they lead.

It is past time for women to take their rightful place side by side with men in the rooms where the fates of peoples where their children's and grandchildren's fates are decided.

I don't think feminism as I understand the definition implies the rejection of maternal values nurturing children caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

Welcome to Lake Wobegon where all the women are strong all the men are good-looking and all the children are above average.
