I worry about everything when it comes to my daughter’s future. What’s going to hurt her?  What’s going to make her happy? What’s going to affect her? What’s going to influence her? I think it’s my job to take on all that worry. At end of the day though, all I can do is raise the most well-adjusted little girl that I can.

I build my kids up as often as possible, but there is one word I really believe makes them puff their chests with pride and that word is “Wow.” Wow is something my mom started and when she would rave about my homework, a basketball game or even a cleaned room, I felt so good about myself. I want my kids to know I appreciate their efforts and that I think they’re amazing, so I make sure and “wow” it up around here just like my mom did when I was growing up.

If my baby were royal I might name him Charles… and then I’d buy him a ton of Cavalier Spaniel puppies just to stay consistent. If I had a girl I might consider the name Oprah. Common folk could never get away with that because there is no comparison to the real Oprah — she’s too rich and she’s too famous. But she’s not royalty! I think a Princess Oprah would shine!
