As A Girl, I Was Always Told

Just Being A Mother Is Making Me A Big, Weepy Mess.

I Guess For Me, Balance Isn't About Treating Your Time Like A Pie Chart And Dividing It Into Equally Sized Slices For You, The Kids, Work, And So On. It's About The Quality Of How You Spend Your Time, Not The Quantity--are You Being Present And Focused On Whatever You're Doing While You're Doing It? I Truly Believe That's How You Can Be The Best Version Of Yourself, Whether You're In Work Mode, Mom Mode, Or Wife Mode. When I Know I'm Giving My Undivided Attention In Each Of These Areas, I Don't Feel So Guilty About The Time Spent Away From Them.

I Can Seriously Spend Five Hours Making One Dinner.

I Think People Couldn't Really Put Me In [one Race]. I Wasn't Mexican, I Wasn't White, I Wasn't Black, I Wasn't Asian... I Wasn't Anything, And I Didn't Really Fit Into Anybody's Group. My Dad Is Mexican, And My Mom Is French And Danish.

Living In L.a., Everyone Likes To Mold You And Change You. I Don't Care About Fame, I Don't Care About Being A Celebrity. I Know That's Part Of The Job, But I Don't Feed Into Anyone's Idea Of Who I Should Be.
