Of course I would be depressed sometimes and my Mom would be worried about me because I would just sleep to escape. Cause I was so scared of being a musician or artist or whatever you want to call it.

I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.

The first few weeks of being a mom were profound not just emotionally but also physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.

I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom I hear.

My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make listening being objective and open-minded and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.

I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge because my mom... lives there man and she loves being in the kitchen.

Growing up with three older brothers and being the youngest and the only girl my mom always made me tough. She's taught me over the years how to be a strong independent woman how to carry yourself in a positive way and anything that my brothers can do I can do.

For me just being how old I am I know I don't want to be a single mom. I really would rather make it a two-person job. But I've also come to terms with not being a mother at all. I'm actually really good with either direction that my life can take as being a valid experience.

But my mom was a pianist and she taught piano out of her house. I was just so excited being a little kid and having all these other kids come to my house twice a week. I thought it was a big party.

It's hard either way at home or on the bus I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.

Being a working mom is not easy. You have to be willing to screw up at every level.

My mom used to take me down to the Jersey Shore when I was 7 8 9 years old. I can remember being down in that area - Belmar Seaside Heights Asbury Park and all those places that I went back and revisited.

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

I burnt myself out of skating. I was ready to focus on being a mom.

For many women going back to work a few months after having a baby is overwhelming and unmanageable. As strange as it may seem things get even more difficult for a working mom after the second and third baby arrive. By that time the romance of being a modern 'superwoman' wears off and reality sets in.

It's been very hard after being mostly a mom to develop an adult life of my own. And not being married anymore I have to come up with challenges.

I'm so proud to represent the people of South Florida. I was so honored when President Obama asked me to serve as chair of the Democratic Party. But there's one job I'm even more proud of and that's being a mom to my three kids Rebecca Jake and Shelby.

Being a mom's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason and if you just go with it that's where the best moments come from.

In her whole life Mom never earned more than five or six dollars a week. Being without a husband it was hard for her to find any place at all for us to live.

I grew up with just my mom. She and I were like best friends. She's a very independent woman and I admire that about her. In my life I've tried to be like that. To be okay with being on my own and being independent.

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.

Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.

I'm a better mother if I'm also doing my work. Some women find a lot more satisfaction from doing the hardest job which is being a mom. But I like my day job so I juggle a lot.

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.
