Contrary to popular belief, I really enjoyed my time on 'Dancing With the Stars.'

I'm married to my kids and my career.

The honest truth is I care so much less about my hair than everyone in America, obviously.

I've really learned to watch what I say.

Everybody in life says things at times that they regret.

I am a working mom and cameras are on me, so people catch me traveling or working.

Every day I hear from women across the country who have incredible stories but are overwhelmed with their lives, asking me for advice on everything from potty training to organization. None have asked for dancing advice, however.

I take the constructive criticism only.

I want to be out there learning from others, helping to provide insight whenever I can, though I don't consider myself an expert on anything.

The fact that people really support me and want the kids and I to do well... is flattering.

I am not willing to comment in public on the custody discussions regarding my children. What I will say is this: I am and always will be a mother first, but as a single working mom I will do everything necessary to provide for my kids despite the opinions of others.

I couldn't be more proud of my eight beautiful children and wouldn't change anything about them or their heritage.

In this family, we don't see color or preference, we see qualities and hearts.

I've been bullied. A lot.

I'm a runner by hobby and by nature of stress relief and staying fit.

I've been running wherever I can. There's no set plan. At my best, I'm doing 10 miles every other day.

The more you run, the faster you get, and that's more efficient because you're running more in less time.

I think I got to the point where a lot of runners end up: You plan another race so you have something to focus on and that's what I do - I focus.

I am lonely. I clean up the house, put kids to bed and there I sit.

Who ever would have thought that I'd be running a marathon? Certainly not me, but it's amazing where life leads you if you're willing to live passionately!

No matter how much money you have, it's just smart to use coupons. It's like free money in your pocket.

One week, I remember saving more than half my grocery bill that week with coupons. I was beyond thrilled.

I have a crazy work schedule.

I feel like I have my life together pretty much, but let be honest; it's going to take a strong person to wrangle this mess.

I like to have fun, but I don't have a lot of time for myself. I do have eight kids!

The important thing is that I control my reaction, my behavior, my attitude and my words. What I receive back is not in my control.

I do a lot on TV.

There are so many single moms and dads out there, and we are all just trying to pick up the pieces together. It's hard.

I don't want to be single for the rest of my life. And I felt that way for a long time.

It's really hard like when people ask me questions like 'So what is your life like?' I mean, I almost feel like saying, 'Do you have 10 years for me to explain it?'

I feel like I know what my role is as a mom, and I know that there is eight people on the planet that matter to me and their opinions matter. If those eight people say that I've done a good job, honestly the rest doesn't even matter.

Walk a day in my shoes and you'd be irritable too.

I'm not going to be somebody I'm not.

I've learned to deal with stress. In fact, things that would make the next person go over a cliff don't even make my radar anymore.

My faith and my kids are the two things that matter.

I am seeking to be positive, have integrity, and speak with grace.

With every positive, there is a negative across the board in life. It's about choosing to see the positive and working with the negative.

My main concern is my kids. And I don't want them to see or hear anything on TV that I didn't discuss with them.

Each day the thought crosses my mind that when they get older, my kids are going to look back and think about how they were raised. I know they will have a lot of questions about things that may not make sense because they were raised so unconventionally.

Winning is fun.

I'm not a mom that's going to tell my kids everybody wins.

You have to work really hard to be first place in life.

You have to be comfortable enough to take what people say about you and laugh.

Everyone makes mistakes, and they never go unnoticed when you're in the public eye.

I have a business-running personality.

I am a strong personality.

Drama gets in the way of getting work done.

I know that I'm glad to be divorced and on my own.

I wouldn't change my marriage because I have eight awesome kids that I would not change.
