There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through.

I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.

Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
