LISA LING

I think that's something people need to convey because you see all these celebrity moms out there, and the perception is they can do it all, but they have sooo much help. And it's kind of an unfair image to project for many women, because it is really hard, and if you have help, you should indicate you have help.

We're doing a partial green nursery and trying as hard as we can to do as much organic stuff for our nursery as we can.

My husband and I try to spend some time every night that I'm home talking without distractions.

My first job in TV was hosting this young teen magazine show, and all these high school teenagers showed up from all over Sacramento, California, and they chose four of us to host the show, two boys and two girls. And of the two girls, I was kind of the perky smart one and the other girl was the pretty one.

It is said that the way to prevent obesity is not to allow kids to become overweight in the first place. But it takes a multi-pronged approach that has to start with parents. Kids are just too young to understand the consequences of obesity.

I don't know that I'm going to entirely do cloth diapers. I'd like to be ambitious about it, but in all honesty, I can't say that I will.

Try to accomplish things you have always dreamt of while you can. I know it sounds cliche, but the biggest lesson I have learned is that life is precious; enjoy it while it lasts.

I honestly never had the biological need to reproduce until I met my husband. But by the same token, even if we were unsuccessful, we were totally okay with adopting.

I am a crazy online shopper. My husband always jokes, 'Another box arrived!' Airplanes used to be my sanctuary for reading books, but now I have to peruse Gilt sales.

When you take the time to understand why your parents did the things they did, you stand a good chance of learning more about your own behavior.

There are so many factors to lead to a child becoming obese.

Make your relationship your number-one priority.

I hope my desire to travel so much isn't forever because it's not the most conducive lifestyle for a relationship or a family by any means.

My hope is that I can somehow raise the level of consciousness about world events.

People are starting to know more about it, but I was blown away by Almaty, Kazakhstan. It's like a future Swiss Alps. It has the potential to be an extraordinary ski resort. It is a city with beautiful mountain scapes.

One of the most important things I'm glad we did and am proud of is that we don't have any real grass on our property. It might not be realistic to ask people to pull out their grass, but we'll never have to think about it. We used Smart Grass, and I think it looks beautiful.

I'm determined to raise a strong girl.

Personally, I've always known that I wanted to go back to work because I'm confident, and I'm certain that my daughter will have a better mother in me if I'm doing the things that I'm excited about and that I'm passionate about.

I had a planned C-section, and I cried the entire day before I had the baby.

I fancy myself as being a fairly competent person.

The best education I have ever received was through travel.

Very often, overweight children have parents who are struggling with weight issues.

I like crunchy things like Baked Lays.

Coming from an Asian culture, I was always taught to respect my elders, to be a better listener than a talker.

I don't remember my first trip, but I do remember when my mom took me to Disney World in Orlando. It wasn't the rides but Epcot Center that most fascinated me. It made me want to see those countries that are represented there for real.
