Mom thinks I live in this dream world where everybody's Ivana Trump.
My mother kept asking me 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it so mom started hounding me more.
I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.
We were poor. But my mom never accepted that. She worked hard to become a residential contractor - got her master's with honors at the University of New Orleans. I used to go to every class with her. Her father was my paternal figure.
My mom's the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I'm a lump of clay and she's moulding me into a woman.
Mom always tells me to celebrate everyone's uniqueness. I like the way that sounds.
I got a family house for everybody to live in - my mom my sisters and I. And I made sure that it has a separate apartment downstairs for myself. Family is more important than anything. We don't come from any money. So once I get them settled in in a nice house then I'll branch out and see if I can get something else.
My house has always been like everyone's house. You walk in you're a part of the family no matter who you are what celebrity status you are everyone is treated the same - with love from my mom.
I've realized how precious life is. When I was younger I was more adventurous. I felt invincible. I was game for everything. As a mom I don't want to get injured because then I can't take care of my kids.
My daughter's name is Neesyn Dacey but everyone calls her Dacey. Her mom chose Neesyn and I chose Dacey after she was born. The mother is a good friend of mine who I was seeing a while ago. We are no longer together.
I had to take my makeup off at work every night. I wasn't allowed to do it at home because my mom said that when your work day is done you're done with work.
Ever since I was a little kid I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school but I kept wearing it.
Everything I am is because of my mom.
I work too much to be an appropriate parent. I feel like a bad mom to my dog some days because I'm just not here enough. I just feel like I would do a bad job if I took the time to literally give birth to a kid right now and try and juggle everything I'm doing.
I'm a soccer mom. I'm T-ball soccer karate homework keeping them on their schedules. I love being the snack mom when I get to bring the cut oranges. I have one of those coolers with wheels. I'm at every game every practice sitting on my blanket. I love it.
I think because I became a mom later in life everything in life means more.
My mom she is the most unbelievable mom that you could ever have in your entire life and she's always with me on everything. The most I've ever been away from her is two days. I love her more than anybody could ever know.
Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business I learned from my mom and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.
My mom she wasn't like a baseball mother who knew everything about the game. She just wanted me to be happy with what I was doing.
Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.
I have a chaperone everywhere I go - my mom.
I was brought up by a single mom in a poor town in Arkansas and while some aspects of small-town life were really positive - like the fact that everyone there is really sweet and hospitable - there is also this close-minded mentality and that naturally made me want to rebel.
Every time I think I have something under control it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.
I make a lot of mistakes too and I'm constantly re-evaluating how I'm doing things and trying to be better every day whether it's as a mom or taking care of myself.
