Women“You know, I don't think any mother aims to be a single mom. I didn't wish for that, but it happened.”

Family“Something I learned very early on in my career is that there are a lot of things that you do not have any power over.”
Power“From the moment this baby came into our home, those two dogs have never been more in love. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. People keep saying, 'Oh, you're a single mom.' I'm like, 'Actually, I'm not. I've got two boys helping.'”
Home“When they watch a movie and they know that you're in a relationship, you just kind of watch that constantly.”
