“I was very healthy from a young age. I was always known as the healthy kid in my group of friends. My mom had us drink barley-grass powder, and I've taken vitamins and fish oil and multivitamins since I was a kid. My mom just had me doing that for a long, long time. And I enjoy eating healthy. It's not a chore to me to eat healthy food.” LongKidsAgeYoungEnjoyKnownTakenGroupsMomDrinkHealthyEatingLong TimeFishesMy MomOilGrassYoung AgeVitaminsChoresPowderHealthy FoodEating HealthyGroup Of FriendsBarleyMultivitaminsHealthy Kids Author:Blake Griffin
“I never stopped being a mother, and I never stopped being an artist. Which is probably why my kids are so creative. When I'm with my kids I'm creating but I'm still a mom. I don't wear two different hats. My kids have always been on the set with me. I was breastfeeding on set. None of my kids would take a bottle so they could not leave my side for a very long time.” LongStillsTwoDifferentKidsMotherArtistSidesCreativeMomCreatingLong TimeHatsBottlesBeing A MotherBeing An ArtistBreastfeeding Author:Jada Pinkett Smith
“When I was a baby, my mom used to have a dance school, and she used to teach classes there. We didn't have money for a babysitter, so she always brought me with her to the dancing school. Back then, I was already watching and listening to Michael Jackson for a long time.” LongSchoolUsedClassTeachBabyListeningMomLong TimeDancingMy MomBabysitter Author:Afrojack
“I've had and probably still have a lot of bad haircuts. My mom just sent me some pictures - I don't know why she did this - but she sent me some pictures of me when I was probably like 12. I grew up in the D.C. area and I used to wear a Redskins jersey just walking around. I just had kind of a bowl haircut for a long time and no sense of style or personal hygiene.” KnowsKindLongStillsUsedStyleGrewMomWalkingGrew UpLong TimeAreasMy MomBowlsJerseyHaircutsHygieneRedskinsPersonal HygieneBad Haircuts Author:Rob Huebel
“My mom has kind of been more of the emotional support system. One time I was really feeling all out of it, just dealing with a lot of cooks in the kitchen and adjusting to what it means to be in the music industry, and I called her. One of the first things she said to me was 'You have to be thankful that these people even like you, no one liked me, at all, I was not really accepted for a very long time.'” PeopleFirstsKindMeanLongSaidFeelingsSupportEmotionalLike YouMomIndustryLong TimeMy MomAcceptedCooksKitchenOne TimeBeing ThankfulMusic IndustryAdjustingSupport SystemsEmotional SupportCooks In The Kitchen Author:Jillian Hervey
“Sadly I don't sing. I missed it for a long time, but my daughter Emma said something wonderful when I was feeling blue one day: "Mom, you've just found a different way of using your voice, and that's with your books." In a way, she's right. It's just a different way of expressing what I feel about music, individuality, art and all the things I've always loved.” WayFeelsLongArtSaidBookDifferentFeelingsFoundVoiceWonderfulMomOne DayLong TimeDaughterBlueIndividualityDifferent WaysMy DaughterEmmaFeeling Blue Author:Julie Andrews
