I loved getting tutored and having that one-on-one attention that you sometimes do not get in regular school. – Tia Mowry
The one advice that I would give just to moms who have a child or a newborn is definitely sleep while the baby sleeps. I’ve heard that so many times. I never realized how true it really is. If you don’t, you’ll be walking around like a zombie. – Tia Mowry
There’s a lot of focus on kids like Macaulay Culkin or others who had bad situations at some point in their careers and not enough focus on the people who do good like Natalie Portman or Claire Danes. It’s hard for children to have these full-time jobs with all this responsibility. – Tia Mowry
I cheat every now and then, but the foundation of my eating habits is organic. I don’t like to eat a lot of processed foods. So it’s fresh vegetables, fresh herbs and meat without all of the antibiotics and preservatives. – Tia Mowry
I was so used to seeing so many women in the media flaunting their bodies 4 weeks after having a baby – and kudos to those who have genes that they can get right back into shape 2 weeks, 4 weeks after having a baby. But that never happened to me, and I remember going to my doctor asking why. – Tia Mowry
Health is really important to me and my family. It’s something that we value and that I strive for on a daily basis. MedImmune, the makers of Flumist Quadrivalent, knew about that and knew how important health is for me, so it was a no brainer for me to collaborate with them. – Tia Mowry
Society tends to always make multiples – whether it’s twins or triplets or whatever – one person. And it’s not always fair. I encourage multiples to embrace their individual uniqueness because, just as you are an amazing unit together, that can only happen when you are strong individually. – Tia Mowry
People want to know how we do it as moms. I want to inspire moms to get back in the kitchen. I want to show moms that not only is it great to have your kids eat healthy foods as opposed to McDonald’s, but it’s great to bring the family back together. – Tia Mowry
At times, I feel sorry for kids who have succumbed in some kind of way to being a child actor. – Tia Mowry
I feel, you know, empowered because I gave life. I have a son now. I feel like I’m stronger. – Tia Mowry
Before becoming a mom, I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now, those days are far and between. So when I have an hour, it’s all about the mani and pedi. – Tia Mowry
I have goals and aspirations, and I believe that you can go after your dreams, and it can work if you have someone there that’s supporting you. – Tia Mowry
After my pregnancy, I discovered I have an allergy to yeast. Problem is, all the food I love has yeast in it. So I have to relearn how to cook. – Tia Mowry
I think the best thing about being pregnant would definitely have to be seeing just my belly grow and seeing, like, wow, there is, you know, something inside of me. – Tia Mowry
I think it’s something that needs to be said – that there are interracial marriages out there, and the couples live happy lives, and there’s nothing wrong with it. – Tia Mowry
When I grew up I always wanted to act. Also, I wanted to be either a lawyer or a doctor. However, when I got to college and realized what those occupations entailed, I changed my mind real quick. – Tia Mowry
I have a lot of gay friends, and some have not come out, and… it just hurts me that there are some people who can’t feel like they can be themselves because society is not accepting to them. I literally see their happiness deprived. – Tia Mowry
I gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy, but I didn’t say, ‘I want to lost 10 pounds every month!’ Instead, I said, ‘I will lose two to three pounds.’ I eventually saw progress, and that made me work harder. – Tia Mowry
I became a vegetarian for about maybe a year. It was more of a little detox for me. I tend to do a lot of detoxes. I was on the Body Ecology Diet before I got pregnant, which I believe is one of the reasons I was able to get pregnant. – Tia Mowry
People say child stars have a hard time ‘because of the entertainment business,’ but I think there’s a dysfunction before all that. I use the analogy, ‘If you’re a fool without money, you’ll be a fool with money.’ – Tia Mowry
In terms of flu prevention, for my son I’ll do a quick smoothie, usually with spinach, avocado or broccoli. And then throw in strawberries and blueberries to hide the greens. – Tia Mowry
I’ve always known what I’ve wanted, but I used to be shy about expressing that in regards to my career. So I’ve become a lioness. If something’s happening that I don’t necessarily feel comfortable about, I will speak my mind. Or if I want to do something, I go for it. – Tia Mowry
Men are men. I’ve been married to my husband for eight years now; we’ve been together for 16 years. And I’ve found that all I have to do is keep him fed and loved, and he’s the happiest person. Men just want to be full, watching their basketball game and enjoy some hugs and kisses. – Tia Mowry
Being a mom is hard, but I don’t want people to feel like they always have to go straight to the TV dinner or go to the fast food because you have a busy, hectic life. – Tia Mowry
Sardinia is beautiful. The people were so friendly, and the food was incredible! I also loved Florence. I spent two months there as part of a school study-abroad program. On the weekends, we would get to travel wherever we wanted, so I would explore. That was a magical time. – Tia Mowry
My love for cooking began when I was young. Because my parents were in the army, they were both really busy. A lot of times I’d have to cook for the family; I’d rotate with my siblings. It started out as a chore, but as I got older, my mom started to see that I was really good at it. I became her sous chef. – Tia Mowry
I feel like life imitates art, or art imitates life. I always take on roles that I’m passionate about. – Tia Mowry
Garlic is an essential, and so is this thing called Bragg’s Liquid Aminos. It’s like a soy sauce, but it’s gluten-free and healthier. It’s a great condiment and something I always keep in my pantry. – Tia Mowry
I come from a mixed background – my mom’s black, my dad’s white – and I traveled around the world. – Tia Mowry
