I like being Southern; I like going to Cracker Barrel - I mean, that's just how I am.
— Jessie James Decker
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'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.
My cheat days are bread, bread, bread, and cookies. I love bread!
Eric and I just don't have drama. We're very happy.
I feel better now after two children - I think I look better; I feel better.
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.
I think if you're a good person and spread happiness, good things will come to you!
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.
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'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.
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.'
When you have kids, it can be hard sometimes because you've got to find creative ways to spend time with each other. So with 'Lights Down Low,' I wanted to just write about all the things that we do to try to keep the love alive in creative ways, because you can't always go out on a date... but you can make a date at home.
Eric has pro athletes on both sides of his family - plus, I used to play sports - so I'm sure our son will develop athletic ability.
I signed with Big Yellow Dog and have been with them for years. The president of the company is a woman named Carla Wallace, who is an amazing publisher who just has a knack for female artists.
I think I get my alone time when I have to go fly and do a work trip. After work's done, I go check into my hotel, and I get to have a few hours to myself to order room service and just be quiet and silent.
For me, I feel like I'm slowly accomplishing what I've always wanted to do. I've always dreamed really big, and my mom planted that in all three of my siblings: 'You guys can do anything.'
I have always followed a healthy protein and lower-carb lifestyle.
I love to hit the gym when I can. I usually work out three times a week and do circuit training.
I'm just a little energizer bunny. I just have a lot of energy.
I do have some songs where it is about my relationship with my husband, and it does get very personal.
I'm such a foodie.
I like to do heavy lifting, so it's a great thing to have meals that have a lot of protein to maintain that.
If anything gets in the way of me being a good mom or wife, I simply say no.
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 love nursing my babies. It's such a special bond for me.
I was always meant to be a mom. As soon as I had my kids, it just felt so natural.
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 really was bullied badly in school.
For me, the best way to unwind at the end of the day while I'm pregnant is to take a nice, long soak. I get in my bathtub, download a show onto my computer, prop it up on a chair, and just lie there watching and relaxing.
It's okay to be sad if things don't go the way you had hoped.
I'm a firecracker when it comes to my husband. I'm a stand by my man kind of girl.
I write in the weirdest places. I wrote 'Girl on the Coast' in my car with the kids in the back and Eric driving. I just wrote the whole thing on my phone. I just typed out the lyrics.
My friends know I'm a really big movie buff, and I named Vivianne after a movie character. She was named after Vivianne Walker in 'Ya Ya Sisterhood.'
I have the happiest, most confident babies, and I know it's because they feel that strong love from their parents.
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.
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.
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 just don't really like going to the gym that much, and I love eating.
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.
When you're pregnant, make sure your husband rubs your feet - and your neck and your back and everything.
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.
Motherhood made me a better person.
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.
I don't want anyone to ever feel they are alone and no one likes them, or to feel as insecure as I did.
What does get hard is when I'm put in the box of, 'Oh, she just woke up one day, did a reality show, and decided she wants to be a singer.' That's offensive, and it's not the case with me.
If you don't want to put on any makeup, try some fake eyelashes. They make your eyes pop and give you a little confidence boost.
I think that people can have their hand in as many different things as they want. You've just got to put your mind to it and just do it.
I work really hard, and have had many opportunities to give up and throw the towel in. But I never did.
'Gold' is about being appreciative and grateful of your life, your family, and the love in it.
