I'm not the bake-sale-mom type - though once in a while, I'll make challah French toast for my sons.
When I did start writing books, I didn't realize it, but the girls that grew up watching the show became moms.
My mom said, 'Don't get married. You're too young. Go out there and experience what life has to offer.' And I did.
I have been tossing around the idea of writing some non-fiction. Maybe a collection of short stories about my experience being a mom and how not to be perfect.
I have a lot of experience in the studio, performing onstage, talking to an audience. I learned most of that stuff when I was performing with my mom.
My aunt and uncle would come over when my mom was making this, or we would go over there when they were making that. That's what food is.
Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom's an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.
Growing up, in church we had the homily; at home it's what I call the 'momily' - the inspirational and instructive mom-isms that every family has.
My mom and dad put my brother and sister through university and they were very keen for us to have an academic background just to give us a chance.
The biggest change for me as a mom was realizing I needed to put someone else before me. Now the hardest part about the empty nest is learning to put myself first.

I'll be 50 years old and still have to call my mom when I'm home at night. No matter what time, she doesn't sleep until I do!
Hope is the greatest thing for moms of autism. Hope is what gets us out of bed in the morning. I'm on a mission to tell parents that there is a way.
I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously.
My dad was in a Beatles cover band. My mom wore Candies and belly buttons. The people in our family were very glamorous. They wore pearls like Jackie O.
My father moved to Hawaii from Brooklyn and my mother came there as a child from the Philippines. They met at a show where my dad was playing percussion. My mom was a hula dancer.
We had to give each other permission to be different as parents. That's why there's a mom and a dad with two different approaches, because you do need both.
My dad being a DJ, I heard all the hits, no matter what. My mom always had on the radio because my dad was on it.
I'm from Connecticut. My Mom is an army brat, and my Dad is a navy brat. My childhood was fun. My parents are still together. My childhood was pretty carefree.
