I moved all the time as part of a military family, and I just really did not have very many friends. I remember having these feelings of walking into a room and feeling that nobody likes me, or thinking, 'I'm going to have to sit alone at lunch again.'

Sometimes, men just need a little push. Men won't always be like, 'You are so beautiful. You look great today.' And sometimes women want to hear that.

I'll be honest: I naturally have a pretty good eyebrow shape. I always have. I would get made fun of when I was younger because they were so thick.

Being a mom has made me feel more like a grown-up. I was always a kid at heart. It makes me feel like I did my purpose in life.

If you walk into the room, and you're smiling and have a pep in your step, people are going to be drawn to you. If you walk into a room and you're sad and you look insecure, it's bad energy.

I love nursing my babies. It's such a special bond for me.

Having a family is just my fave altogether. I love having these babies that love you unconditionally. It's amazing to always have such strong love. I feel so fulfilled.

I always feel guilty when I want to go get my nails done or hair done because it takes time away, but I know moms need that alone time, too.

I always knew I was going to be a mommy, and because I came from a family of three kids, I always assumed I would have three!

I think if you're a good person and spread happiness, good things will come to you!

When you're pregnant, make sure your husband rubs your feet - and your neck and your back and everything.

If anything gets in the way of me being a good mom or wife, I simply say no.

When I was younger, I was relying on those young-girl genetics. I wasn't watching what I was eating or looking at nutrition. Now I'm paying attention, and my body is leaner. I'm healthier. I'm eating better. I'm just in better shape.

Every mom knows it's hard to take care of yourself while you're trying to take care of your children because, when you become a mother, you become so selfless.

I like to do heavy lifting, so it's a great thing to have meals that have a lot of protein to maintain that.

I just don't really like going to the gym that much, and I love eating.

I'm such a foodie.

Eric and I just don't have drama. We're very happy.

Every single sport works out your body in a different way, and you can almost point out their bodies - like, that's a swimmer, that's a football player.

I do have some songs where it is about my relationship with my husband, and it does get very personal.

My cheat days are bread, bread, bread, and cookies. I love bread!

I always say you just need 20 minutes a day. That is it: 20 minutes to do really fast circuits, and you can bring some weights with you to work.

I'm just a little energizer bunny. I just have a lot of energy.

I'm going to be that little old lady that's just, like, walking around and just, like, full of energy, probably with bright red hair or something crazy.

I would have to say my favorite thing about hosting 'Redneck Island 4' was the cast. They were the most genuine, fun, and down-to-earth Southerners. They just reminded me of the kids I went to school with.

My mom is a beautiful, amazing woman. We didn't have a ton of money growing up, and even, at one point, we were living on food stamps. But my mom still managed to make sure we ate healthy and were always fed nutritious meals!

I have the happiest, most confident babies, and I know it's because they feel that strong love from their parents.

I have always followed a healthy protein and lower-carb lifestyle.

I like being Southern; I like going to Cracker Barrel - I mean, that's just how I am.

Even if I didn't know Eric, I still think he would be my celebrity crush. He's so freakin' gorgeous.

That's the great thing about women is they are multitaskers, and they can do it all.

I used to write about experiences that a 20-year-old would write about - going out with your friends, having a drink. You know, things were a little bit sexier in a different way. Now, you know, I'm a mom, and I want to filter some of the things that I say.

I think the one I'm most proud of as a songwriter is 'Breaking Your Heart' because it was just a different style for me. It was very - I feel like it was very old-timey Patsy Cline. It's got a very '50s feel to it, and I pushed myself to write those lyrics very intimately with my co-writer Ted Bruner.

I'm really proud of 'Coming Home.' I wrote that about Eric, and I just feel like it's very relatable for anyone who has to be away from their loved ones, you know, for long periods of time - our military, people who are working. It's pretty special.

If I'm in a hurry, I will have the South Beach Ricotta Muffins. Some mornings, I'll just have turkey bacon and scrambled eggs.

For dinner, I'll grill chicken with asparagus and call it a day.

I'm really in tune with my body and what it needs.

I hate those unrealistic goals that people place on women. It's just not right. It took us nine months to have our babies and put on this weight. I gained 55 pounds with my daughter, so I get it. It's tough. But you can't just pop out a baby and expect to be the size you were before. It just doesn't work like that.

I think we're such great parents together - I could not have picked a better partner to have kids with.

I think women sometimes stop flirting with their husbands, and you can't. Men want to want feel good - they want to feel like their women love them. When they come home from work, don't start nagging them with questions. Go up to them and give them a big kiss and ask them how their day was.

I've never been a label-obsessed person. I indulge in shoes, but I rarely will ever buy full-price.

Red carpet is always fun, but you're never going to see me on the street or in the grocery store in 6-inch heels. But I am always going to have big, fabulous hair and makeup.

Eric and I have a pact. Offseason, we focus on my career. And during the season, I try to be the best wifey. I make sure he has a warm dinner to come home to.

I haven't gone hillbilly rich, where you spend everything you have.

First time I ever sang was in a contest in Louisiana when I was 9. And I won yodeling.

I get very angry when I'm hungry and there isn't time for lunch.

When I got married and when my sister got married, my mom made us both individual cooking books with all of our family recipes and pictures and kind of the history with our Sicilian family, so that was really special.

I make Eric pick up from this little local place in Nashville that has really good honey whole wheat bread. It's near where he works out in the morning, so I make him pick up a loaf, and the kids eat it, too. I'll just keep passing out toast all morning. The kids just walk around with crumbs everywhere; we don't care.

I love being a mom. It's my favorite thing. If I had to give up everything and just be a mom, I would.

If I wasn't doing music, I would be a makeup artist.
