Being alone & actually sitting with our own thoughts can lead to such growth and realizations that are rare in our everyday busy lives.

I do become a recluse once in a while. It's so nice to just be at home and to not have to deal with the outside world.

My entire life changed when I became a mother - my priorities, my understanding, appreciation of life, and my relationship with God.

I'm not a dating person.

I feel such a sense of empowerment being a mom. But I do wonder: How do they/we do it all?

My mom fed us a lot of processed food when we were kids, like chicken fingers, grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. I make those treats for my family, too, but I use organic cheeses and whole wheat bread and tortillas.

Sometimes, it's hard to separate manager mode from mom mode. I think, as our manager, my mom will get more emotional about situations than she would if she was just our manager.

My mom and I had a kids' clothing store called Smooch for six years, and I did all the buying before I even had kids.

I'm probably the least harsh on myself, and I try not to scrutinize everything about my body. As a new mom, it is what it is, and we just have to do our best.

There's no one else I would rather have as my manager than my mom because I know that she has our best interests at heart. Sometimes, it's hard to separate manager mode from mom mode. I think as our manager, my mom will get more emotional about situations than she would if she was just our manager.

I'm obsessed with being a mom.

I know my mom always likes to give the over-the-top 'wow' pieces at baby showers.

My mom and both of my grandmothers have always been into fashion, so it's been around us our whole lives.

I remember playing in my mom's closet with Kim as little girls - we had this game we played, I was Donna Karan, and she was my assistant, and I was really bossy.

I have so many pieces that once belonged to my mom and both of my grandmothers. All of these pieces are very sentimental, and I love to wear them. I also have many pieces from my father that I probably cherish the most. I love wearing his dress shirts.

When my younger sisters were born, I was in high school and college. I was at my mom's all the time but never changed them or fed them.

I've always loved children's clothes - my grandmother actually owned a children's boutique in La Jolla, CA, for 30 years. I grew up visiting her and working in her store, and then my mom and I had a children's boutique together for five or six years.

I used to play Donna Karan. I used my dad's home office, and Kim was my assistant. Then one of our friends would play a buyer, and I would take her to my mom's closet and show her the new collection.
