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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 do a lot on TV.

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

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 have a crazy work schedule.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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