When I turned 30, due to my father's heart history and my family genetics, I vowed to start seeing a cardiologist every year and just really be proactive and take my own heart health into my own hands.
They told me that I had a leaky valve, which is something that is certainly not life-threatening. It's common and it's something that had I not known about it, would I have lived? Sure. But it's something that I think is important to know, especially as I get older and given that I have heart disease in my family.
My dad's passion was to teach adults to read so they could read to their kids.
I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher - all in high school.
In high school, I was kind of a loner because I had moved to a new school.
Sitting around on the couch eating Pringles all day is not going to help anyone.
I react emotionally to everything!
I have a strong constitution.
My passion is about motivating as many families as possible to learn about vegetables and healthy eating together.
With the chronic obesity in America, it's more important than ever to not only feed kids healthy foods but to teach them how to make healthy choices on their own.
I'm one of those women who likes to chat and share knowledge and pass it around.
I'm just taking care of myself: Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water.
My mom really instilled in me that I'm beautiful and I can do anything, and I echo that now with my own girls.
I love kids and children, and I love being a mom.
Being a lazy parent and letting your kid watch stuff that's not appropriate for their age is one of the bigger mistakes you can make.
If there's an energy between two people it doesn't matter what you look like or what you do for a living or where you live.
It's not like I want someone to treat me badly. I want somebody who looks like they could treat me badly, but then really treats me good.
