Happiness for me is when my kids are good and when my family is whole.
For me exercise is more than just physical, it’s therapeutic.
Together, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.
It is my hope that our garden’s story-and the stories of gardens across America-will inspire families, schools, and communities to try their own hand at gardening and enjoy all the gifts of health, discovery, and connection a garden can bring.
When I was younger, I could eat whatever I wanted, as long as I exercised; or if I didn’t exercise and just watched what I ate, I’d maintain. Now I have to do both.
There is nothing more important to this nation’s future than investing in our young people.
My message to women: Do what makes you feel good, because there’ll always be someone who thinks you should do it differently. Whether your choices are hits or misses, at least they’re your own.
There’s no expert on this planet who says that the government telling people what to do actually does any good with this issue, this is going to require an effort on everyone’s part.
My happiness isn’t connected to my husband’s or my boss’s or my children’s behavior. You have control over your own actions, your own well-being.

I have never been proud of America my entire adult life.
I am only as good as my children are.
It’s all about patience and persistence – you often have to expose a child to a new food numerous times before he or she will begin to like it. So keep trying!
I mean, hope doesn’t get actualized in three and a half years. If that were the case, we’d be out of luck as a country.
And what has been just completely heart warming is to see that people are really hungry for something different.
And the first thing we have to do is vote. Hey, no, not just once in a while. Not just when my husband or somebody you like is on the ballot. But in every election at every level, all of the time.
We have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
I tell this to my girls all the time: This journey we’re on is a once – in – a – lifetime opportunity.
No, I think that if he had known he would be president, he would have started dying his hair, like, 10 years ago. Now it’s too late.
