When I Was A Kid,

I Learn So Much From Writing With Other Musicians, Asking Questions About Their Playing Style And Gear, And Hanging Out, Too.

I Have So Much Joy In My Life. I Love My Husband And Kids So Much. So Much Love. I'm Also More Focused Now On Spending More Time At Home And In Town Instead Of Going On Tour. Because Of That Nesting, I Find That I'm Even More Into Writing And Creating.

My Overnight Success Was Really 15 Years In The Making. I'd Been Writing Songs Since I Was 6 And Playing In Bands And Performing Since I Was 14.

I Think A Good Mom Is An Awake Mom. At Least For Me, I've Always Been A Kinder, Better Person Awake Than Sleep-deprived!

There's A Variety And Depth To The Song Topics I Get To Write About In Children's Music And Books: Being Able To Write About Things I Wouldn't Normally Write About, Like A Disappointing Pancake, Or Monsters Or Opposite Day Is Really Different Than Writing About Heartbreak And Relationships.
