I work too much to be an appropriate parent. I feel like a bad mom to my dog some days because Im just not here enough. I just feel like I would do a bad job if I took the time to literally give birth to a kid right now and try and juggle everything Im doing. – Rachael Ray

Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mothers, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same. – Rachael Ray
I do 280 episodes of TV a year, write 15 recipes for the magazine, and publish an annual book. With all of that, we try to get one weekend a month with Isaboo at our home in the Adirondacks to relax and recharge. – Rachael Ray
Its the moms of this nation – single, married, widowed – who really hold this country together.

Youre the ones who always have to do a little more. – Ann Romney
